Our weekends

My mom was asking what we do on the weekends. Here are some videos with weekend fun.


PLaying in the room. Yah, it's fun to just stay home and play.










Good exercise for Gordon..:D

train table fun

Pics of the boys playing at the train table. Ryan likes to go behind the table and Dylan would squeeze his way in so that he can be with Ryan....


 See the books at the side, Dylan would climb over the books...



Below is a pic of the boys in the drawer. They insist on sitting inside the drawers.


Yes... we actually play with this huge table that is sitting in our living room...
Check out the video of us playing trains.

Dylan @ 1 year old

 Yes, I need to blog about Dylan's progress..:)

His walking has definitely given him much more freedom to move around. When Ryan is home, he will follow Ryan everywhere and everything that Ryan is holding, he wants to get hold of it. I find it cute... but Ryan says "I don't want di-di to follow me". haha.

He can say some words..including


bye bye
da da
ye ye
bird

and his favourite word : nai-nai

He also knows how to find the ball, point to apple and airplane and knows how to give me a kiss. He can clap his hands and open and close his hands to wave.

Here are his stats from his one year doctor visit.

Weight : 22 pounds (38 percentile) - we think the nurse weighed his wrongly but oh well
Height : 2' 6.5" (74 percentile)
Head circumference : 18.5" (69 percentile)


And he is his schedule:

6.30am - Wake up
7.00am - Poo poo in the potty
8.00am - Breakfast
9.30am - Milk 6 Oz and sleeping time for 1.5 hours.
12.00pm - lunch
2.30pm - Milk 6 Oz and sleeping time for 1 hours.
4.30pm - Snack
6.30pm - Bath time
7.00pm - Dinner
8.40pm - Milk 8 Oz and sleep
5.30am - Milk 6 Oz

His passion for eating is not as strong as Ryan..:P

Yes, sometimes, he still wakes up in the middle of the night and wants milk! zzz. Good thing Gordon sleeps with him and makes sure he gets fed. Oh, and he is also a light sleeper and moves around all night; which means, I would wake up each time he moves (light sleeper too).

Here is a pic of the boys playing behind the futon at grandma's house. Such simple entertainment... One of his favorite games is hiding under the blanket. The cuteness of his squeals when he goes under the blanket is way too cute. Oh, he also has 7 teeth.

And of course, since he started to walk, he only wants to walk. No more crawling.. His walking has improved so much in just a few weeks! We ended up having to put the gate at the stairs as he wanted to walk down the stairs instead of turning around.




Here is a video of our other birthday celebration with Dylan on the day of his birthday.


 Ahh, we had breakfast with the kids in SF @ Tartine Bakery.



 Dylan and daddy playing in the tent.
Dylan and Ryan playing in the tub.

urnnn... why????

Yes, the WHY stage continues.... not sure whether Ryan is asking WHY just because, or whether he is asking cos he is actually interested...:P

Some of our conversations....

Ryan: Is it getting dark already?
Me: yes, it is getting dark..
Ryan: Why is it getting dark?
Me: cos the sun has gone down and the moon is out.
Ryan: Why has the sun gone down?
Me: Cos it is at night, and the sun has gone behind the mountains.
Ryan: Why is the sun behind the mountains.
Me: *change the subject* Ryan, let's read a book....

other conversations...





Ryan has also learned to converse with my in-laws in Cantonese only.It's kinda cool that he has learned so many cantonese words from them and will know how to revert to Cantonese when talking to them. He also talks to Gordon and me in Cantonese. Yes, his can ask WHY in Cantonese as well..("tim-kai?"). Since my Cantonese is not that good, I had to revert to English when he starts his WHY questions..:)

Oh, I love that he knows when he is tired, and just says to us, "time to sleep". It's good since he would tell vs throw a tantrum..
