Random Photos from Dec, Jan and Feb

Sometimes when you look at Maxmax, he looks like mommy, sometimes he looks like daddy. He definitely has mommy's eyes and lips, and daddy's nose, hands and feet. When Maxmax doesn't smile, he looks very serious. When he does smile, he looks so innocent and sweet. And look at how Max has grown since ... a few months ago!

Max Goes to Work with Dada

Way back six months ago, at Dada's work, it was "Bring Your Kid to Work Day". Max was allowed to visit Dada at work and sit at Dada's desk. Max met dada's colleagues, boss and everyone else he works with. It very cool to see where dada goes everyday when he heads out the door.

May May

Wow have we forgotten to post for the entire month of April? I guess so. Well we were very distracted by Max's accident in HK. Thank God that he's alright and recovering very nicely. We need to be more careful with him and keep him closer at an arm's length, especially when we're staying with friends.

Here're some photos of Max and his favorite gege, Michael and Eric, from the not so good trip in HK. See the big bandage around Max's toes. But the next time we're back there, we're STAYING FOR GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Max and Pooh

Not poop, pooh. These are photos taken at home last Dec. Max trying to talk on the phone and playing with the Winnie the Pooh that Grandma Annie just bought him.

Hello? Dada, Is That You?

Max loves talking on the phone. He's been grabbing the phone and pretending to be on it since he was... maybe 10 months?! Max likes to listen to the person on the phone but he hasn't learned to respond and answer back. Here're two photos of him on the phone from last November.

Max's Vocab

Max has learned quite a lot of vocab now. His favorite words to say now are dada, mama, duh duh, "wawa" for dogs and water, "Rooaarrr" for tiger, "NgNg" for pigs, "Ahhhhh" for sheep, "Mou" for cat, "Moooo" for cow, "Ma Moon" for moon, "Nana" for banana, Uh Oh when he does something bad, "ball ball", "buble". Even know we already knows what he knows what to say, it still never gets old.

More Friends

The friends that Max wishes he sees more often are Ella and Elyse. You might remember them from last Dec and from when Max was a little baby. We used to visit their house and Ella loved entertaining and taking care of Max. Elyse is closer to Max in terms of age. Whenever she took toys away from Max, Ella would come and over and ask her to share. Aunty Carmen and Uncle John would be proud. Here are the pictures and videos from the end of a playdate. Taken at their playground and both chieh chieh taking turns to push Max on the swing. Max was a little nervous in the beginning but finally loosened up and enjoy the swing. He had a lot of fun that day and was very hesitant to leave.
