ABC

Now I know my ABC, next time won't you sing with me...



Mom started singing to me since I was in her womb, I'd better sing a few songs now for 2+ years of intensive training... I can now sing cantonese, mandarin, and english songs!!! My favorite are 'How Great is our God' and the mandarin 'The Almighty Creator'. I could play drum while singing most songs too! And ABC is of course a must-sing song.

Orange family

I got extremely excited today when I found this orange family in Kroger. After having Charlotte, everything seems to have daddy, mommy, brother, and little sister in my world. No exception for oranges. Goo Goo bought the whole family home for me. :D

兄妹裝

What do you think about our 兄妹裝? Isn't it cute? :)

Be my valentine

My little valentine!

Potty 101

Full Month

Today is Charlotte's 1-month birthday. She showed me how to do cross-eye! She's such a funny lady!

Day 25

See Charlotte on her 25th day! Somehow her eyes are already bigger than mine, even though my head is 2 times bigger than hers! How could that be?

Happy Chinese New Year

Gummy Bear and Charlotte

It has been 2 weeks I have my little Charlotte home. Mom says I've been a very loving brother. In fact, I just can't help kissing her head every now and then. I also speak amazingly soft and gentle to this little lady. I'm always the first one to run into the room when she cries. I just can't wait for her to grow up and play with me.

Mom is kind of surprised by how much I love my little sister. It's probably because of the power of GUMMY. Every morning when Mom nurses Charlotte, she always have a Gummy Bear vitamin candy in her hand. Although I have no clue how does she 'generate' this candy, I take joy in receiving a gift from my little sister everyday.

Day 11

See how lovely my little sis is on her 11th day!

Sister Charlotte

After all these months, my little sister mysteriously came out from Mom's tummy!  Here she is.  Isn't she cute?!!! When I picked her up from the hospital, she even gave me a mini Ding Dong Dong as a gift! 

Mom thinks I've been a very nice big brother as I didn't show any sign of jealousy.  I even asked Mom to hold Charlotte when she cries. 

Dad compared Charlotte with my baby's pics and find a lot of resemblance in us! Isn't it great?! 

Arrival of my little Charlotte

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!! After more than 10 days of sickness, I've finally recovered. Due to my sickness and the cold I've spreaded to Mommy, we've canceled the induction.   Thus, 妹妹 is still staying warm in Mommy's womb.  We're now waiting patiently for 妹妹's delivery.  God has already scheduled a perfect time for her to come, like a surprise!

It has been a tough week for me and Dad & Mom due to the severity of my cold, but everything passed.  I'm now a healthy and happy boy again.  Sadly, I've lost 2 lbs in 10 days... Daddy took me to his studio and took some new year pictures today.  I look quite skinny, but pretty handsome with a pointy chin! :)

 

Ding Dong Family

I heard from Mommy that HY 契姨 was back from HK yesterday... Unexpectedly, she came to our house today, with a whole bunch of...surprise.

Check out this Ding Dong Dong family!!! Now they're my best friends and I have to take them EVERYWHERE with me. Plus a glowing Ding Dong Dong, a Ding Dong Dong watch, a Ding Dong Dong phone, and many many others. Thank you so much 契姨!!!!!

Baby Shower for 妹妹

Dory 契Ma and many EE Suk Suk were so nice to throw a baby shower luncheon for 妹妹... See the Ding Dong cake, as if it was for me!!!

We've scheduled an induction to bring 妹妹 out on 12/30.  I'm all excited about it and keep saying words like "妹妹就嚟出嚟啦!!!" every now and then.  Somehow I get an impression that pink is 妹妹's favorite color, maybe because of her room and bedding.  Thus for every pink object, I'll simply present it to Mommy's tummy and say "比妹妹".  I even started calling myself "BB 哥哥" or "Ethan 哥哥".  We all hope I'll be a loving 哥哥 when she comes out.  

I think I will :)  

A wonderful day

Today is a wonderful day with wonderful weather. Dad & Mom took me out to play 'bubbles'. It's one of my favorite activities I have with Dad & Mom. :D

Ethan, The Ring Bearer

I look really smart in tux, don't I?   I behaved surprisingly good today in Sherwin & Jeanie's wedding.  Walked the aisle accordingly without crying or whining, not even with a pacifier!  Daddy & Mommy are sooooo proud of me!!!

I was trying to be a little usher to help out too, but I was too small that I could only hold one program.  I was also a bit short to take the ladies in, except this little princess...  see how cute she is!

2nd birthday!!!

I've turned 2 today!!! I'm indeed a big boy now, big enough to be a big brother.  :) Since I've been sick for a few days, Daddy & Mommy hesitated to take me out or prepare any celebration for me.  Instead, some of the closest friends came over and had a yummy dinner with me.  Home is actually my favorite place to stay, especially with all the birthday toys surrounding me.  I was overjoyed.  A green tea cake is of course a must for any celebration in our house.  This year, I even got to taste a small slice!  Yum Yum!!!

It was such a wonderful birthday night - warm and cozy.  See how much fun I had with my new Thomas lego train set from the 契 family!

Ding Dong Dong

I don't know since when, I fall in love with Ding Dong Dong. Like a girl...

六叔婆's daughter

This is the newest addition to the Yiu's family, 六叔公 and 六叔婆's daughter, my 姨姨. She was delivered by Hong Yu 契姨 in their baby shower. She looks exactly like my 六叔婆. Quite cute but honestly very nasty with poop all over her body.

My house was mysteriously full of baby monkey everywhere and even my favorite Ding Dong Dong and Ding Ling were converted into Baby Paul Frank. Lucky enough, I managed to get my Ding Dong Dong back...

I gave them a GUCCI diaper bag filled with my freshly made warm soiled diaper as a gift. It made them VERY happy.

香蕉父子

We both like banana, but not mama...

我是中國人

我是中國人! I know Chinese!

Pumpkin Patch

Today I went to the Dallas Aboretum with Kaelyn. See how cute she is!!! There were pumpkins everywhere and they were great for sitting. We also had a nice lunch at the garden cafe over there. Hopefully, this date will build up some good bonding between us. We'll be the ring bearer and flower girl in Aunt Jeanie's wedding in a month and it's very likely that we'll both cry.

Goodbye Z4...

This is my last ride with Daddy in this fun car. :'(

This car has brought me so much good memories. Every night around 6pm, Mommy would take me out for a walk to wait for Daddy. I was always overjoyed when I saw Daddy driving home with the top down and he would just take me in the driver seat for a short ride to the pond. He let me drive! It was truly the most looking-forward and exciting moment for me every day.

Daddy & Mommy didn't tell me it was sold until someone came and picked up the car today. I'm going to miss this car very very much.

Chatterbox

I've made a HUGE progress in my verbal skills this month. I can say so many words that always startled Daddy & Mommy when I first said it. Like many numbers, colors, objects, verbs... I'm so expressive now! Also, I'm smart enough to pick the easier word between Chinese/English. Like I say most colors in English but say "orange" color in Chinese... This makes me look more bilingual...and actually makes my life easier.

Of course, I can call my favorite Vin Vin 叔叔's name. This close-to-complete sentence is basically what I say everyday, "Vin Vin 抱抱 Bom Bom Ba". I also designed some nicknames for many like calling Ernest "Ernie", Terrance "Test", Raymond, "Almond", and Dory "Do-bee"... It's so much fun to talk. So I just talk all day.

Another favorite sentence that I say everyday is "跌跌, 疼疼, 慘慘, 喊喊!!!"

妹妹

This morning, Daddy and Mommy came home very happily with these black-and-white pictures. Mommy pointed to 1 of the pictures and said, "This is your 妹妹!".

I looked at the picture, with a lot of confusion, and didn't know how to respond. Although 妹妹 looked like a skull in the picture, I would still love her. Daddy should take some better pictures of 妹妹next time.

In order to prepare me to have a 妹妹 in several months, Daddy and Mommy read me a book named "I'm a big brother" all the time... Now, I think I'll be a good 哥哥!

驚驚

This week, I've entered some sort of anxiety period, that I could easily get frightened by anything and everything. When I was having lunch on my highchair one afternoon, I was so frightened to see a stranger mowing our lawn with a super heavy/loud machine. I tried to escape from my highchair and cried in extreme panic... from that moment on, I wouldn't sit on my highchair, or any highchair in any restaurants anymore. I just said "驚驚, 叔叔" all the time, whenever I saw a window... I also developed an extreme fear to all unfamiliar faces, especially towards waiter 叔叔...

This is giving Dad & Mom a very hard time because I always want to sit on their lap. They just couldn't eat while I was sitting on their lap. In a restaurant, they just have to distract me from looking at the waiters... Waiters are sooooooooo scary, especially the one at Awaji that repeatedly stared at me.

I hope I'll outgrow it soon...

Born Blue

If you don't believe babies are born with personal preference and personalities, I've got to tell you this. Ever since I could recognize color, I fell in love with BLUE. Mommy first taught me RED, then YELLOW, GREEN, and BLUE. Yet, I could name BLUE first. I have hundreds of colored balls in my play area, yet, I would only pick up BLUE balls. When I draw, I'd only hold blue crayons... I feel content when my hands are holding navy blue objects... well...yea...it has to be NAVY BLUE, not baby blue. And funny enough, I only like "B" out of the 1st five alphabets. So, I'm holding a BLUE B alphabet at home ALL DAY.

Same theory, I've been exposed to all sorts of musical instruments, yet, I'm only attracted to the DRUM set. It's unusual for a baby to spend 30+ minutes on doing one thing, but a drum can totally get my attention. Mommy has really slim hope to teach me piano, and seems like her dream of having a violinist kid has to pass to my little brother/sister. :p
