Fashion & Bingo

A few good friends took us out to brunch in Burlingame today and K-bao took the opportunity to explore the chic stores along the charming Burlingame streets. Here she is with K-Mum, ignoring the camera in favor of the designer baby clothes she sees in the Janie and Jack store. K-bao has shown an early aptitude for (or at least fascination with) fashion - for example, she can stare at the little outfits in her closet for ten minutes at a stretch, which is five to seven more minutes than she is willing to look at anything else, including her own daddy's face.

She also appears to like music. She now recognizes some of the tunes she has heard multiple times in the Hu Household, and we are generally able to squeeze a few good smiles out of her if we launch a round or two of "If You're Happy and You Know It," the "BINGO Clapping Song," "Jesus Loves Me" or "Head and Shoulders, Knees & Toes" - especially if we wave her dimpled little fists during the songs or jump around like buffoons ourselves. This, of course, has led to a few rather sad scenes of K-bao's poor parents reduced to trying to drown out the little one's public screeching with even louder and likely more objectionable renditions of bad nursery rhymes.  I can also say from personal experience that there is nothing worse to have stuck in your head than the BINGO Clapping Song. B-I-NGO...and Bingo was his name-o!
