This kid, he is amazing.
We kept him the say we arrived until 1am. He slept until 4:30pm the next day. I had to wake him up, because I was getting worried he wouldn't sleep at night. It was my plan to keep him up till 10pm, to make sure he would sleep through again but he passed out in Chris' arms at 9:30, and then slept through (with only 2 short awakenings) until I woke him up at 3:30pm. So like 18 hours of sleep straight!!! I guess travelling for 30 hours pooped him out.
He travelled great. Wasn't too much trouble, but didn't sleep too much either. He couldn't get comfy on my lap so he would sleep for 2 hours and then wake up crying, stiff and stodgy I'm sure. He ate well, did a few laps of the aisles.
He loves being here, although he hasn't really been awake to do much yet!! Everybody loves him, of course! He's really just a great baby.

Second Child
Well, we have committed the classic 'sin' against the second child.
Not enough pictures.
I am trying to pick out ones to print for his baby book, and there are some serious gaps in his chronolgy:
No Halloween. (And he was such a cute prince ronald, from paper bag princess. Gemma was elizabeth, of course)
One crawling picture.
No first steps.
Few Christmas.
No first tooth.
We're sorry, baby! But we have lovely pictures of your 1st birthday trip to Bali. Next time you feel angry at us just look at your passport!

Guinness ting du dong zhongwen!
Jen da!!
Guinness understands Chinese!
Really!
Annabelle asked him in Chinese to take the cookies to Gemma and she would open them for him. And he picked up the cookies, and off he went. And he has a great new trick; also courtesy of Annabelle:
Guinness, Shuei jiao: and he puts his head down on the table or on your lap.
qi lai!; and he wakes up! Shuai jiao = sleep, qi lai = wake up.
du bu qi, wo de pinyon shi bu hao. (sorry, my pinyon is bad)
Guinness ke yi kai men!! Guinness can open the door! Ahh! I like the speaking/understanding Chinese tricks better!

Chocolate Fountain
We were at the bakery getting bread and the lady offered small chocolate cookies to the kids. Guinness of course put the whole thing in his mouth and had the huge chipmunk cheeks. As he swished it back a forth it started to dissolve in his mouth and the river of chocolate started to flow. First it was all over his face and hands, so I wipe him. And it just keeps coming. And coming. And coming. I'd wipe his chin and then another dribble would run out. It was so funny :)

A book lover (I hope!)
A lightbulb has gone off! Books are NOT just for eating or throwing in the toilet. If I take a book to mommy, she will sit with me on her lap and make fun noises!
SO he has taken a new interest in the written word. His favorite is a fuzzy animal one with different patches of patterned fur and stuff to pet on each page; I'm a stripey zebra, pat my neck. I'm a wrinkly rhine, touch my rough horn, etc. The climax is the last page and the tiger; Do you DARE to stroke a tiger? ROAR!!
He loves it!

This week...
He is such a goof, he is making us laugh so much. He will just start giggling out of no where, which is really funny.
He loves the iPod, which gets him a smack on the hand and a firm No. (or bu ke yi form Annabelle) Then he throws a mini tantrum, arches his back and almost falls over until he catches himself and remembers how much falling over backwards hurts, so uprights himself. Sometimes when he's mad he leans forward and puts his forehead down on the ground. Its so funny, and so sad all at the same time. Can't always get what you want :)
Eating constantly, but having some tummy pain at night so trying to simplify his evening meals and keep is basic. He is not a great solid food eater yet. I sort of forget since Gemma, but he seems to need everything really small or really smooth. He still chokes on water when he drinks with a straw, that sort of thing. I forget he's only a year old.
Funniest thing this week? When I hold my towel covered arms out to him in the bathtub and say,"TIme to get out?" and he pushes himself back and says, "No no no!' He's not a super talker yet but he's getting that one figured out! He said apple in context last week, so I am counting that as the official first word. He doens't say to much else yet, just lots of sound and tries. He says die die instead of bye bye, and of course mama. He said Annabelle once, homes; I was there, but no repeats of that.
He loves to imitate faces and play peekaboo. He does this one where he wrinkles his nose up and breaths really heavy through it, almost like snorting. So we do it back to him, and he does it more. Probably funnier in person, sorry! Just trying to recount all the great moments. Small, but great! I want to remember them forever!
