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.

1岁9个月大的二宝

二宝长的比平均身高矮,加上一脸BB样,别人估计猜他一岁多一点而已。走路甩手往前冲的样子给人留下深刻的印象。

喜欢玩积木:
搭几块高,推倒,再搭; 全部倒在地上,把有形状洞的盖子盖上,一块一块从对应的形状洞往里放; 把所有的正方体挑出来,慢动作把它们非常整齐的排列在阳台边的玻璃门旁。

喜欢翻书:
坐在地上,两腿伸直,以前是拿一本书摆在大腿上,左手翻完一遍,换右手翻完一遍;现在是腿上一本,地上一本,左右开弓,同时翻两本书。不知道的人不免惊叹这个宝宝怎么这么爱“读书”,呵呵,是爱“翻书“。



喜欢吃
早上起来洗完屁股,换好尿布,喝点温的蜂蜜水,就急着吃早餐。看着阿姨端着饭来了,立马往地上坐好。吃到差不多,看到妈妈开始吃Cereal, 有时把嘴里的最后一口吐在地上,在妈妈身边拱巴着也要吃。喜欢吃蔬菜,据说妈妈小时候就很爱吃青菜。 几下就能干掉一根大香蕉。爱吃甜食和饼干。这个爱吃零食绝对是遗传妈妈的基因。

脾气温和
哥哥把他手上的玩具/积木/汽车/电话抢走后,只是表示遗憾,从没有胆量挑战哥哥。iphone 到了妈妈手里,就嚷嚷着要抢过去。欺负妈妈。

上课适应能力差
妈妈在团购上买过的Jolly Kingdom, Baby Dance的上课券,都是试堂两次。每次都几乎浪费掉,因为他根本不愿在那个教室里呆着。1岁半之后在开心果上亲子班,头两节课也很糟糕。幸亏那个老师要求我给他个机会适应。慢慢的越来越好,基本能跟下来,Circle Time时能坐在老师旁边,在 Music Room也不再赖着菲佣抱他。

不坐推车
要么自己开心的往前奔,要么赖着要抱抱。最喜欢妈妈抱,其次是带他的菲佣。只要这两人有一个在,坚决不坐推车。你一放下他,人就坐地上,无声的抗议。只有另一个菲佣和他一起的时候,他能无奈的坐上推车给她推。

不讲话
唯二有意义的词是“啊噢”,“拜拜“。两岁我们又该带他去健康院作发育进展的跟进。总之,好像什么都不懂,又太可爱,妈妈就继续心甘情愿的任他耍赖要抱就抱。

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.

拖太久

好久没来写东西了。太多事情就一并罗列一下吧:

首先是老大面试幼稚园的结果爆了个冷门,他今年9月份要转去“著名”的St. Catherine 幼稚园上K1。和他一起玩的小女孩们个个比他能说会道,聪明乖巧,可惜只被在waiting list上。当然妈妈给大宝报的是英粤班,女孩子们报的是英普班。据说英普班比较热门,入学竞争相对更激烈了。 妈妈希望她们中最后有人可以进去和老大做个伴。 妈妈的印度朋友听到这个消息,第一反应说: I'm sure it was the happy face that made it work. He is so cute when he does that. 面试那天下着小雨,妈妈一个人背着包陪着Nathan在外面排队。幸运的是Nathan似乎很喜欢那个外籍老师,面试时一直羞涩的微笑着,不过总共只说了5个英文单词:
What's your name? Nathan
How old are you? Two (同时伸出2个手指头比划)
What's the color of this card? Red
拿到贴纸后: Thank you
要走了: bye bye
其它有3个该回答的没说话只是笑。再其它该做的做了,该用手指指答案的也指了,妈妈最后回答完问题也没谱自己的表现如何。

接下来一件大事就是妈妈自己回江西老家参加高三一班的同学聚会。有好些同学是高考后就没有再见过面,难得的有4位老师也参加了聚会。班上女生不是很多,还有人放弃机会不来参加,所以组织者特邀了几位只同窗了一年的女生来加入。结果我和她们聊天聊的最多。男生的分化比较厉害,有的英俊潇洒依旧,有的还像个青年,有的则中年发福脱发。可怜的是有人得了癌症或做过手术,一定要加强锻炼注意养生啊。 同学们各个社会阶层,各个行业的都有。不过聚会上没有隔阂,大家叙旧喝酒抽烟跳舞,晚上住酒店的都舍不得睡觉继续聊天。

老二一岁了。 It's like an old wive's tale, most babies are ill on their birthday. Daniel不仅有点痰在吃支气管炎的药,生日那几天还赶上长大牙,成天哭哭啼啼的,赖在妈妈或保姆身上。 上个周末过后,妈妈明显觉得胳膊和腰略酸。二宝还不会放手走路,可以扶着家具和墙壁走。不象哥哥周岁那天准时走路了,之前就很自觉地扶着东西练习。 二宝可能身体欠佳,走路的兴致似乎差些。上面的大牙出来了,下面的大牙快点出来吧,别再折磨我的宝贝了。 看着可爱的儿子们,妈妈再辛苦都是快乐的。

呆呆 汗堡包



“呆呆”和“汗堡包”是老二的新绰号。笑的时候可爱,不笑的时候显得有点呆呆的模样。因为胖胖,容易出汗,家里开空调的threshold因为他而调低。


汗堡包可以坐很久,趴着可以转360度(为追随哥哥的身影),有朝前爬一点点的趋势了。

Daniel 6-month old

妈妈的乖宝宝已经六个月大了。七月九日9点钟到了健康院。
体重: 9.32 kg (97%)
身长: 68 cm (50% ?need to double-check the exact number)
让我忍不住哼起: I’m a little teapot, Short and stout

接下来打疫苗:四合一,肺炎链球菌和乙肝。打针房里一个护士看着肥嘟嘟的小宝宝,就一直逗他玩,看他的莲藕般的大小腿。
打针的护士在准备第一针时,宝宝被逗得微微笑;
第一针打完时,宝宝没什么表情;
第二针打完时,宝宝哼哈了两声;
第三针正在打时,宝宝开始小声哭;
第三针打完后,妈妈要按住三个针眼,背一个包,同时离开打针房,没法把宝宝的脸转向妈妈,所以宝宝继续温柔地小声哭。

小宝宝现在能自己很稳地坐上几分钟,长了两颗牙。

老大小时候不算太难带,但是老二乖的要命。这几天也许因为打了疫苗针,加上喝了三天的过敏药,变得有点呆呆,很难逗他笑。可是呆呆的样子都永远是那么可爱。

小宝的眼光永远追随哥哥,让我想起另一句儿歌:“you're the one I idolize". 哥哥对弟弟的食品,虽然还很有限,非常感兴趣。保姆喂小宝米糊,果蓉,甚至是婴儿奶粉时,大宝都是在旁边虎视眈眈,等着保姆给他一口,或递给他弟弟喝剩下的奶瓶。
