Weekend with the manatee in Crystal River, FL

Took an advanatge of a business trip to DC, flew to Tampa on the week end and drove to Crystal River. Spent 2 mornings w/ the manatee. This is not the right time to visit, winter months is. We were luck to play with a few up close on Day 1. They came to greet and play with us and won't leave. Day 2 was a disater, no manatee spotted until we were done in the 3 sister springs and than the guide decided to head to the poor viz green water King's Bay. That's when we had the chance to play with "Mickey", a playful calf. Day 1 was many times better .... These animals are awsome to feel. Don't miss them if you are going to FL.

A few weeks later during Mother's day ....

Here we are ... couple weeks after 1 years young birthday

CADiver Jr.開始爬爬. I really didn't want to turn this into my diary of my son's development progress but then what's the chance of diving and travelling as much as I once able to. Oh well, life is like river, it keep flowing and never know what's next or ended up.

Back in Dec, Jr was hardly able to support himself upright and the real mobility development didn't happen until this month (March 2010). 3 week ago, we begun to see him move a little bit and last week, he was dragging one foot and move forward by pulling himself froward with his arm strength. Good enough to move around :-) This weekend he climbed up 2 stair steps !

2 weeks ago !


Yesterday !!

恭喜發財 - Year of the Tiger

Little guy still under 20lbs, not quite able to crawl but started to go in circle. A little bit of standing now & then. But his 詠春 is natural ! :-)
