龙年来了，祝大家身体健康，大吉大利，心想事成！
除夕（年二十九）： 上午和Kelly一家一起逛界限街年宵市场。Kelly爸妈给两娃又买气球又买风车，还帮着抱二宝，妈妈真是好自在啊。
下午小孩们睡觉，爸爸妈妈包饺子，爸爸和面，妈妈负责韭菜虾仁鸡蛋馅，幹皮包饺子其实挺有意思的，可惜懒爸懒妈一年才动手两次。晚上看央视春节晚会，两娃下午觉睡得晚，除夕就跟着晚睡。大宝熬到12点多才跟妈妈去睡。有了孩子春晚都是有一搭没一搭的看。
初一：哪都不开门，就在园子里逛逛，家里玩玩。晚上去Angel家吃大餐。她姥姥给大家准备了丰盛的年饭，难得的有江苏来的羊肉，北京来的酱鸭，还有姥姥做的牛肉拉面。
初二： 上午新港城闲逛等千色百货1点开门，大宝闹着要吃麦当劳的小食。两娃争抢那个不健康的炸薯条。最好笑的是二宝身子都趴在桌上，左手留了一根长长的，右手一根接一根往嘴里送。大宝每根要蘸一下那个番茄酱，所以实际比二宝吃的还少点。妈妈吃了小孩忽略不理的红豆派和一杯latte，潘阿姨要了鸡腿汉堡和咖啡，爸爸吃了个小汉堡和咖啡。妈妈和阿姨帮忙吃薯条，最后桌上的吃光了，就剩二宝左手上一直抓着的那根，大宝伸手去抢，被爸爸干预后抢了半根。
下午去旺角站给人送手机。之后带着大宝去逛海港城。大宝精力还可以，全程走到5点多我们才回家。在玩具反斗城给他买了一个Thomas and Friends玩具，最近迷这个。
初三：天气贼冷。我们和Kelly母女去大浦逛逛商场，吃个饭。
初四：大宝生日快乐！ 上午带着两个小女友去了黄埔花园的美国冒险乐园的旗舰店，玩了迷你版的弹跳飞车，海盗船，波池，转转杯，还有一些投币的游戏。晚上本来到我们家吃蛋糕的，Kelly妈妈把初三的聚餐改时间到初四，我们就省事了，带着Thomas蛋糕和气球去就行了。她家菲佣很厉害，做了满桌的菜供十多位客人享用。
之前有两次周五聚会在Kelly家，二宝吃了好多东西，回家10点左右都吐了满床。妈妈今天特意只喂了二宝一个鹌鹑蛋，回家也没给奶喝，到了10点还是吐了一床。估计东西吃得太杂，又混了果汁，小小的胃经不住了。我家老菲佣则说是小菲佣不该在睡前逗他大笑，胃里进了太多空气就会吐。不知为啥，下回带他去Kelly家就不给他东西吃了。
初六：元朗锦田乡村俱乐部。上午摘草莓，大宝很高兴的拎着篮子，操着剪刀。妈妈负责找红的又没烂的，还得旁边地上是干的，因为大宝整个跪在地上剪草莓。二宝睡着了只好在一旁休息处呆着。可惜的草莓不甜，幸运的是妈妈买的不多，只花了40港币（60一磅）。
下午大宝继续玩各种花钱的玩意。开电动跑车，骑摩托车，跳充气垫，拔蔬菜，剪西红柿。
晚上吃港式过年特色盆菜。大家都来香港这么多年，只听过见过就是没尝过。没经验的我们点了中盆，里面压的特别实诚，最后打了四个包回家。
初十三（周六）：Isabel妈妈禁不住要感恩的诱惑，要请大家去聚餐。好期待啊。

Happy Birthday, dear Daniel!
My baby Daniel (well, not a baby any more) turns 2 today!
Even though Mommy needs to work full time Monday to Friday, even though Mommy will read story to Nathan every night by default and Auntie will do to Daniel, Daniel still loves Mommy so much. If Mommy is present and he wants to be carried, it is her who has to carry him. When Mommy arrives home from work, he will walk towards her and ask to be carried like a pet.
He still can't say Mommy or Daddy, but he started to read A~Z and type A~Z on laptop; he started to count 1~20 in English, regardless that only a few sounds are similar to the correct ones.
He has attended English playgroups in Zebedee kindergarten for almost half year now. Only recently he started to play with Miss Kate, the teacher. Only recently he began to use the sponge/brush to draw/paint.
Mommy brought him to try other playgroups, Music/Baby Dance/Phonics and none of them worked, he always cried/shouted and wanted to get out of the classroom. I think it takes him long time to get used to a new class. I forgot, he liked one short-term course in Little Gym. It was more free-style class and he could walk around in the spacious & interesting place with Ocean View. But it was too far and too expensive, Mommy didn't enroll him (Shall I now? )
For a while he was quite cool and it was hard to make him smile. Recently he easily get excited with life and has shown his sweet smiles more often.
Thank you my baby to bring so much joy to the family. Daddy, Mommy and your older brother Nathan all love you very much.
p.s. Mommy has to add a note: Daniel loves to eat. Before he ate everything. He became picky on what to eat though. He loves certain biscuits, chocolate without nuts, cashew nuts, meat, chinese medicine and juice.

Daniel's 12-month check up
"I am a little teapot, short and stout" is the song coming up in mind when Mom thought about Daniel. It was confirmed by the numbers in Daniel's 1 year check up. He was sick around his birthday so the check-up was delayed by one week. To be exact, Daniel was 1 year and 8 days old on that day.
Weight: 10.3 kg (~22.69 lbs) (~85%)
Height: 73.5 cm (~28.94 in) (~30%)
Daniel can pick up food and small things using the thumb and the finger and both hands are okay. (Nathan didn't use the thumb well at 1yr old).
Daniel can't walk yet. (Nathan walked without holding on his first birthday).
Daniel can say some words (mostly in English) or make similar sounds: Baba, Mama, byebye, eat, more, milk. (Nathan was only saying di-da, da-da).
Daniel started to show unhappiness when saying goodbye to mommy in the morning.

有了弟弟之后
Nathan 总体表现算是不错的。弟弟哭的时候，会关切的跑去看。会轻轻的摸弟弟的头，试图找出弟弟的手（衣袖里）。
已经慢慢接受了妈妈不能陪他出去遛弯的事实，能和爷爷奶奶单独出去了。爷爷同时也每天给他嗑瓜子讨得他的欢心。
Nathan两岁了，小气妈妈没买特别的礼物，只是定了个流心芒果蛋糕，全家人吃。chickeeduck 减价时，买了三件码号较大的衣服，也许他秋天可以穿到3岁生日。主要他现在有足够的衣服穿（一半是别人给的旧的），其中包括他1岁生日时妈妈给买的一套衣服。
嫉妒的表现不是没有，比如说：
犯困的时候，想要妈妈抱一会。如果妈妈正抱着弟弟，他就拿手指着床，意思是：把弟弟放那，抱我。妈妈如果正在喂奶没法脱身，他急了，边嚎边要往妈妈身上蹭，根本不顾中间有个baby挡着。有时甚至想自己动手把 baby抱开。
另外一个表现就是想用弟弟的奶瓶。妈妈的奶不够的时候给baby加点奶粉，Nathan 就在旁边等着。baby每次都喝不完，Nathan 非常乐意帮忙解决剩下的奶。今天妈妈给baby喂奶的时候，Nathan在一旁试图调奶粉，拧开了奶瓶后，试图打开奶粉罐。妈妈只好让保姆加鲜奶在那个奶瓶里给他喝（1号奶嘴哦）。

mommy's Y-th birthday
Mommy's friends know what the Y is. Mommy couldn't believe that how she had lived so many years on the earth already and went so few places on the earth. Also Mommy felt a little bit ashamed because of lack of achievements.
However, to Nathan, July 1st was just like a regular holiday when the helper goes out to have fun and Mommy is home to be with him. After breakfast, mother and son went down to the VP garden to take a walk and watch birds for 1 hour. Before we wanted to take lift to go home, Summer appears in the lobby. Two toddlers were very excited to see each other. They blow bubbles, watch boats and chase in the club house for another hour before we all go back to our house to eat snacks.
To "celebrate" Mommy's birthday, Nathan slept from 12:45 pm to 3:45 pm, 1 hour longer than usual. Then at 4:30 pm, we met up with Tara on the shuttle bus to Ma On Shan. Tara was so nice that she offered to buy a cake and drinks for Mommy. Mommy insisted not to buy a whole cake. In the end, three of us got 3 slices cake from A-1 Bakery and found a good seat in the shadow at Ma On Shan Park. Nathan liked the cheese cake and blueberry so much. Also it was his first time to drink Lemon Tea and he was so into it.
It was almost 7 pm when we got home. Nathan had no appetite for dinner. Then Summer and her mother came to play and chat. Nathan ate little dumplings after 8pm and drank his milk at 9 pm.
The highlight of this birthday was definitely in the afternoon in the park. Mommy felt so good seeing Nathan eat cake and drink lemon tea so aggressively and seeing Nathan play more independently than before. Mommy felt so grateful that she had met a good new friend Tara.

Nathan 一岁了
妈妈没有带小宝做特别的事情。Nathan 的一岁生日正好赶在大年初一。因为大姨一家来香港玩，妈妈要带他们出去逛逛街。昕昕姐姐因为前一天走马观花的看铜锣湾，中环和尖沙嘴觉得累了，今天就在家歇着。尽管大年三十大家都观看了中央台的春节晚会，早上10点多妈妈，大姨和姨夫就出门了，车上人比平时少很多，大家也许都还在补觉呢。我们去了平日人气最旺的旺角。
大年初一，辛苦了一年的生意人终于舍得给自己放几天假。当然我们就吃了无数的闭门羹。有名的通菜街（女人街）实际是个步行街，两边的摊位卖些假冒名牌的手表，手提包，露天的百货公司。今天只有零星的店铺开门。倒是很多香港的连锁店，象莎莎，曼宁，卓悦等都大敞着门。大姨他们很少离开老家旅游，这次来香港就要给家里每个姐妹，父母买点礼物。在卓悦买了不少护肤品，大姨想给外婆买件外套最终没有出手。中午在香港仔鱼蛋粉吃的粉面，每样菜加价2元。估计老板也要给伙计加薪，过年嘛，可以理解。
因为店铺开门的太少，我们下午较早回家了。爸爸去跑步了，大姨他们洗澡，昕昕姐姐还是不肯出门，妈妈决定独自带小宝去取蛋糕。头两天定的时候看图片觉得蛋糕不大，应该可以放在婴儿车的下面。谁知道蛋糕的盒子好大个，妈妈又不想拎在手上，怕影响小宝安全。所以蛋糕盒只能斜着放在那里，回到家，本来可爱的天使蛋糕被毁容了。很多奶油脱落在盒子上。对不起小宝。
晚饭后，大家给小宝唱了生日快乐歌。坐在妈妈腿上的小宝非常高兴，又拍手，又ArmsUp, 妈妈帮忙吹了小小的一根蜡烛。小宝也很爱吃蛋糕（没给他奶油）。因为大家都懒得准备抓周的设备，于是说，不抓了，不搞那迷信的东西。小宝似乎不是笨孩子，将来一定会找到适合自己的专业。
小宝能单独走几步，火星语也会一些。喜欢玩玩具，跟着音乐上下“蹦”。懂得打电话，挥手拜拜。yes and no 都是摇头，爱吃大人饭，爱吃饼干，爱粘着妈妈。妈妈尽管有时觉得累，担心里美滋滋的。无数的人夸小宝长得“得意”哦。生日快乐，妈妈的心肝宝贝！
