Young mind

(20100322) Anyone thinks she could make it to the wheel?
It is beautiful, the mind of a little one. She made several honest attempts at the wheel, before daddy had to convince her it is out of her reach.

Me and My Friend Shane

(20100228) Shane is 4 days Logan's junior. He is a bigger and more sturdy boy.
They haven't yet learned to share. Logan is not to be left alone in any situations.
He is just too agressive, especially for his O type.

Sadie's 3rd birthday

Sadie's birthday

(20100228) Celebrated Sadie's 3rd birthday in Covina. Logan can stand up and take a step of two on his own.
The boy is all bruised up, right cheek, under left eye, right forhead. That is on his head alone.
He is a handful for anybody.

After a couple of weeks, Allison is now potty trained -- almost. She is ready for school this Summer.
Mommy has signed her up for 3 days a week at Valley Day Preschool in Fountain Valley.
She seems like a fast learner. She pays great attention to details.
Constantly reviewing what she has just learned, even in her sleep.
She recognizes all the alphabet.
She counts to 10+, knows basic shapes, and collors, in both English and Vietnamese.

Note to self: Enough already about our great daughter!

Well, her weakness is the habit of roughing up the little brother.

Logan Standing up

(20100219) Logan is now 10 months and 2 days. He starts to table walk and stand up by himself. He also gives highfives and bables quite a bit.
Changing his cloth and diaper is a 2 person job.
This boy is going to be trouble.

Progress

(20091214) Ignore the pink car.

Unlike his sister, Logan is really good at playing toys, many of which belong to his sister who previously showed little interest in her toys. He has shown significantly better focus and eye-hand coordination.
He still cannot perform the traditional crawl on his hands and knees, but he can get to places very well by pulling himself military style with his forarms.
He can also manuever very well in his walker around the kitchen cabinets and drawers.
He can also stand by himself while holding on to a sofa.

(20091222) Allison is going through a language growth spurt. She would pick up anything anybody said in English or Vietnamese; then she would repeat it over and over and over again, especially during a car ride or bedtime. It would probably drive anybody nut, except her parents of course. And she would also sing songs (different verses of her own creation) over and over and over again.

When nobody is talking to her, she would have dialogues with herself. Sometimes, she would ask a question, then answer it herself. Other times, she would say something random, then start singing a song contain a word in that something she said. Very creative!

"Bo oi, bo ddau roi?... dday bo dday"
"Bo lai xe ddi tim park, park ddau roi, park oi?"
"Mot, hai, ba, nam ... Chau len ba, chau vo mau giao ..."
"Be Nguyet hai hoa ... Mung tam thang ba em ra tham vuon, gat mot bong hoa xinh tuoi tang co giao..."
