1. At 9 month well-baby checkup, Noah had hemoglobin test to check for anemia by a pinprick on the finger. He didn't cry a bit but was curious about the band-aid!
2. Later, the Barbers visited our house. Andrew and Noah had a fun time together (this isn't a perfect picture but shows you how busy the boys, including Gabe, were playing).
身體檢查完後, Barbers一家人來我們家坐坐. Andrew和嘉信又有一次玩在一起的機會(這張照片拍的不好, 但可看出他們--包括Gabe--很認真在玩)
3. "Beaty & the Beast" is the 1st book torn by Noah! At first, we said "WOW" to him but then corrected him with a firm "NO." (We shouldn't be proud, should we?) Hope he didn't get confused... Maybe it's his way to protest against girl stories.
"美女與野獸"是第一本被嘉信撕破的書! 起先我們說他好棒, 但之後立刻更正他. 希望他不會感到困惑... 也許是因為他不喜歡女孩子的故事書.
Thanks to Cheri for giving Noah such lovely pre-walker shoes. They are the 1st pairs of shoes he has and will definitely go into the keepsake box! It should be fun to compare his grown-up feet with these tiny shoes in the future, hopefully not too soon...
Better distract him from kissing himself too much (this is his first car)...
Noah with the 3 musketeers, no, 3 manatees....
嘉信和三劍客, 不, 是三海牛...
Daddy is my bath tub!
爸爸充當我的洗澡盆!
Play hard and nap hard.
認真地玩, 認真地睡.
Aren't they cute? (auntie got wet from Shipwreck Rapids--you're brave, anutie!)
倆小無猜 (姑姑玩急流泛舟全身都濕了--姑姑好勇敢喔!)
Happy dad & son :)
快樂父子
Mealtime
吃飯囉
We're family!
一看就知道我們是一家人
When we watched Shamu's show "Believe," a lady volunteered to give Noah a shade by sitting behind us. We're blessed! (what a pretty umbrella)
當我們看Shamu的秀"Believe", 有一個撐著傘的小姐特意坐在我們的後面要幫我們遮太陽, 我們好有福氣喔 (她的雨傘真漂亮)!
Noah was exhausted from the 2-day trip, so he took a good nap for almost 3 hours, falling asleep just after the show and not waking up until we nearly drove back home!
經過兩天的旅途, 嘉信累到睡著, 且一睡就快三個小時--從秀看完到我們開車快開到家!
Today's special for the "twins" (in Mandarin, "shuang-bao-tai"): Cheri and I tried wasabi and barley tea. We hope our boys can still sleep tight at night...
Bye bye, those "sit-up" days... (Noah did so even before he could turn over)
再見了, 過去常作仰臥起坐的日子(在嘉信還不會翻身前就如此)...
PS. These couple days Noah kept saying "Mamamama....." with a crying tone when he needed me. Confession: I enjoyed listening to it so much that I delayed a little to response!
註: 這幾天當嘉信需要我的時候, 會撒嬌地說"媽媽媽媽..."
Today when we took Omnibus, Pluto just hopped on the bus and ride with us!
He is the biggest dog Noah has ever seen! (Quick Fact: Pluto was named after the planet Pluto which was discovered in 1930, the same year that the character was introduced.)
This is not another attraction at Disneyland. It's the escalator of their parking structure. (for Noah, it's also fun to take!)
這不是另一個迪士尼好玩的東西, 而是停車場的手扶梯. (對嘉信來說, 這一樣很有趣!)
Noah made new friends!
嘉信認識新朋友!
He took a nice nap after all the fun at the park! (I can't help myself taking pictures when Noah is sleeping--he looks so peaceful!)
在公園玩玩之後, 他睡了個大午覺! (我不得不拍嘉信睡覺時的照片, 因他看起來好安詳!)
btw, happy 9-month birthday to Noah!
對了, 祝嘉信九個月生日快樂!
Here's a picture of our church's baby boys. Hope we have more girls to come! (Noah kept playing twin bro Andrew's feet--maybe it's because his feet look like sweet potatos)
教會的小男孩合影. 希望有小女孩加入我們! (嘉信一直在玩小Andrew的腳, 可能是因為看起來很像馬鈴薯)
It's been 2 months since Noah started eating solid food (doc wanted us to introduce it later because of eczema). So far he has tried:
Good night, Disneyland. Good nigh, Noah.
晚安, 迪士尼樂園. 晚安, 嘉信.
WINNER: perfectly fits and the weather is right!
Will be too small in winter!
Will be too small in winter!
Will be too small in winter!
Too large but cute (is it girl's?)
Again, will be too small in winter! (for some reason hats that are made in Japan usually have cute ears on them)
又是到冬天就太小了(我發現許多日本做的帽子都有可愛的小耳朵在上面)
