Hong Kong Railway Museum

Today mom and dad took me to a train museum! It was a lot of fun to walk in the old trains but my favorite part was picking up rocks and throwing them on the tracks.


























Mom and I love having daddy home with us. He's on Easter Break and this year he got 2 weeks off!
We've been having so much fun playing together, I will miss him when he goes back to work.

My First Easter Party!

I had a blast at my first Easter Party! Last week one of mom's friends organized a great party with tons of kids. First I went on an egg hunt. It was fun to pick up the eggs but I wasn't sure what to do with them. I found 3 (with a little help from mom). Rumor has it there was some candy in those eggs too but I didn't see any of it....Mom?


























After the egg hunt I got to dye some eggs. I really got in to this! I loved to dip the egg holder in the colored water. I even tried to taste a little but mom nixed that idea.














Next I (well, okay it was mostly mom) decorated a paper egg and made a tissue paper cross craft.

I might have CHICKEN what?

CHICKEN POX! That's right. Yep. Uh huh. I got em! Well, maybe. Sort of. Kind of. I dunno. You see, 3 mysterious red dots showed up on my face the other day and we don't know where they came from. A lot of my friends here have had them recently but I haven't been in contact with them latley. Plus no one knows if they itch me or not. (I'm not sure I know how to scratch yet.) So it's a mystery! If they are the pox it's a really mild case and I'll consider myself lucky!

Mrs. Lam's Garden

Mrs. Lam is my downstairs neighbor. Even though we don't speak the same language we get along great! She is always outside cleaning or tending to her garden and every time I walk by I stop to play with her. She takes me around and shows me all her pretty flowers. She even lets me pick needles from her trees but I don't really like to touch them that much.

When I'm done playing she helps me walk up the stairs and I say "bye bye" to her. She is lots of fun!

One bad thing is that I accidentally broke her Snoopy garden figure. I love to carry that thing around but this time I dropped it and Snoopy's tail fell off! Dad super glued it back on but the next day I she let me carry it again and what do you know, that thing slipped right out of my hands again! This time Woodstock popped off! Oh dear. Sorry Snoopy... Now my parents are on a hunt to find a replacement...maybe they'll get 2!

My First Chore!

Even though I am only 14 months old, I have my first chore! I LOVE to help with the laundry. Mom has never been this caught up before because I insist on doing at least one load every single day. I take all the clothes out of the washer one by one and walk them over to either the drying rack or the dryer and throw them in. Then when they're all dry I take them out one by one and throw them inside so mom can fold them. She likes to fold, I like to unfold...she says it's a vicious cycle, whatever that means. If we don't have any clothes to wash I go into mom and dad's drawers and start taking the clothes out myself, who cares if they're clean already, I want to do another load! Here I am working away!

14 Months!

Hi Everyone! I'm 14 months old already. Here I am sporting my new cheesy smile. I can grin so big my eyes disappear!

I am a big boy now that I can walk everywhere. The only problem is the evenings when I get a little tired I tend to get a little clumsy also. My parents have to keep a close eye on me. So far no major bonks. When I do fall down I'm mostly concerned about what gets on my hands. I do not like fuzzies or anything to be on my hands. When I find one I say, "ooh ooh" and give it to mom right away. Same goes with crumbs, little pieces of paper, leaves, anything. Dad says it's okay to get dirty but I do not care for it one bit. In fact when I'm eating if anything gets on the corner of my mouth I wipe it off right away.

I am such a love-bug these days giving kisses to mom and dad. I even say, "mmm" as I lean in for the smooch. It's quite cute I have to admit and my parents can't seem to get enough of my sugar!



I tried my first lemon yesterday and it wasn't half bad. Mom was ready to capture my sour face but I just turned a little and then wanted more.

I love to play with my stacking cups. When my parents build towers I roar like a lion and knock them over.


This picture captures my "ooh-ooh" face. Mom and dad took me to some grass to play on and everything was great until I fell down and actually touched it. I did not care for it one bit. I was real careful not to fall down anymore.

I have been an amazing sleeping boy lately. I still go to bed at 7:00pm every night but for the whole week I've been getting up at 9 or 9:30! Plus I've also been taking longer naps during the day. Mom thinks I must be fixin' to grow. Whatever it is she better enjoy it while it lasts!

These shoes are made for walking!

Okay so about a month ago I took my first unassisted steps, 7 of them to be exact. Then I took a break. I proved I could do it and that was that. But yesterday I got that itch to take off and boy did I. Mom took me to the park and I walked all over the place. Today she actually caught it on film.

Play-pen with a view!

Here I am playing outside in our laundry room. I love it out here! I walk over to the sliding glass door and bang on it until Mom lets me go out. Then I squeal and giggle because I get to climb up the wall. I love to open and close the screen door and the door to the washer. It's quite fun to watch the clothes go round and round in the dryer too. I've also been known to give Mom and Dad kisses through the screen door.

Today I decided to do a crazy back bend and Mom kept telling me to stop but it was too fun! You can see her hand ready to catch me should I lose my grip. Thanks Mom!

Sun nin fy lok!

Happy New Year! This is the year of the pig. Actually the golden pig which only occurs every 60 years. On New Year's Eve Mom and Dad didn't sleep well because of all the firecrackers going off in our village. Me on the other hand slept like a baby and didn't hear any of it. We had something very exciting happen in our village, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong came to visit and everyone was outside waiting to greet him. He's basically like the president. While we were out I got tons of lai see (red packets) filled with money! It's traditional for people to give these red packets to single people and children. I made out like a bandit!

We also went to see a park near Dad's school. Here are a couple pictures:

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

(Wishing you a prosperous new year!)

13 Months!

Well, this post is a little late but I'm 13 months old now! Mom took this picture of me on the 9th but said I was showing a little bit of sass so she was going to retake it. Meanwhile our camera broke and now it's a little late since I'm closer to 14 months. So here I am in all my sass!

Let's see...what new things can I do? I've added "bye-bye" with my wave, I love to climb stairs, I can roar like a lion and I still want to go outside every chance I get.

(Mom and dad got a new camera today so I'll be posting some more soon!)

...Caught Again

Lately I've been getting into a little bit of mischief. You see, we have this great TV cabinet that is so much fun to play in. First I was fascinated by the shiny handles on the drawers, but while playing with it one time it closed on me and my fingers got stuck so a childproof lock went on that and no more drawers for me. Well then I discovered that the side door opens and boy was that fun to slam shut. Then I got this great idea to climb in! It was quite easy. I just crawled into my toy basket and hopped right up.

I got to play in there for a couple of days but then when I wanted out I just lunged right out and mom didn't think that was too safe or something so now there is a child lock on that too! Can you believe it? Can't a guy have any fun?

I Love the Park!

Now that I'm a big boy I get to go to the park. It is so much fun! I like to go down the slides with Mom and then try to climb back up them. It's a little tricky but oh so much fun! I smile and giggle the whole time.
I also LOVE the swings. Hong Kong doesn't have very many parks with swings but there is one by Dad's school so I have a feeling I'm going to make a stop there every time I visit him.


Mom and I go to the park every day now. I love to hold her hands and walk around. Pretty soon I'll be doing stuff on my own but for now I'll let Mom and Dad play with me.
