Anders not only likes to go grocery shopping but also loves to put groceries away. Every time when we are at supermarkets, he always says, ” 這個好, 這個好, 媽咪買這個! ” (This one is good. Mommy, buy this one!) or ” 媽咪, 這是什麼來的呀? ” (Mommy, what is this?) I hope he can still be so helpful when he grows older.
Arden is 7 months old and she’s 90% at her height and 80% at her weight. I guess she got Daddy’s genes. Unlike her poor brother who has always been at the bottom 20%, I didn’t have to force her to eat; she just grew.
Arden started baby foods at 6 months old. She ate everything though she didn’t like pea and apple at the beginning. She would stick her tongue out for the next bite; she also reached out her two arms for you when you showed that you were going to hold her up; she often jumped up and down when you held her.
She talked a lot when she was young but I haven’t heard much of her voices for the past two months. To a point I started to worry. Guess what?! She started talking again last week and now she talked a lot! Just like her brother, the “da.. da..” come first.
She loved to play or just be around with Anders despite that Anders would bite her out of the blue sometimes.
And see, she’s now big enough to swing herself. Look!
I got an invitation from my graduate schoolmates for a late summer BBQ last month and my college schoolmates also organized a reunion lunch last week in Taiwan. Is now a season for reunions?
It’s always nice to see some familiar faces especially those from schools. I don’t know what I was busy for but there were just always something or some fires waiting for you to put off. Somehow finding time to meet old friends becomes so hard.
Too bad that I can’t make it back to Taiwan with such a short notice. Thanks to Anthony, our class head for Freshman year, for organizing and taking the videos so at least I can soak myself in the happy memories in NCU (National Central University) through the pictures and video.
Luckily I was able to see these familiar faces from Polytechnic University again. Thanks to Anthony (yes, another Anthony:) ) to invite us for a late summer BBQ last month.
I missed those days in NYC!
Anders also seemed to have lots of fun. This was the first time he was in a new environment with a bunch of new friends and he wasn’t shy at all. I guess he’s out grown his clinginess a few months ago.
This post has been sitting in the draft folder for 2 months since I forgot to post it.
Anders is not very coordinated in general; and here is some video to share Anders’ development when he was 23 months old.
It was only two months ago but he looks very different now. Kids grow fast!
自從六月洛杉磯之行拜訪了媽咪的高中好友笨丁阿姨之後，寶寶的語言能力就此快速成長。有時他似懂非懂地地把所有可以理解的詞彙拚湊在一起時，實在是叫人啼笑皆非！以下記錄了幾則值得一提的〝笑話〞。
童言一﹕
今天寶寶聽到妹妹放了一個響屁，開始說：〝妹妹 放屁股 咿喲……〞同時把手效在鼻子前面猛搧 (意味著臭臭)。
童言二：
寶寶午睡起來後是他的點心時間，今天打了奇異果汁加牛奶 (看起來有點像攪爛的香蕉)，大概是今天買的奇異果特別酸吧！才吃了一口, 寶寶就說：〝阿姨 今天的香蕉 不好吃 辣辣〞(還不會形容酸酸, 就變成辣辣了！)
童言三：
這幾天寶寶potty train老不乖, 常把便便和尿尿拉在褲子上, 但他其實都懂。今天又來一次了！媽咪問寶寶, 寶寶今天做了什麼壞事呢？〝寶寶壞 大便在尿布上〞大便在尿布上怎麼辦呢？〝被打！〞他很清楚地說著… 唉！@%#$!#
童言四：
每週四是寶寶去圖書館 “play and learn” 的時間，今天媽咪在想事情，開過頭了，大叫一聲，哎呀 媽咪笨笨！寶寶則接著說，〝笨笨媽咪！〞欸！媽咪為什麼笨笨呢？〝走錯了！〞寶寶開心地笑著。
