It's A Girl!

This morning before I left home to take another ultrasound, I did an interesting baby gender prediction test which is using old wives' tales and found I have a 55% chance of having a girl (45% a boy, of course). Guess what? The ultrasound shows I'm having a GIRL!

btw, I first felt baby kicking on Christmas Day, when Noah was laughing hard near my belly!

今早在我出門要去照超音波前, 我在網上作了一個有趣的測驗(是基於老一輩的傳說)來預測嬰孩性別. 結果是我有55%的機率生女孩(當然就是45%生男孩). 阿哈! 超音波顯示我懷的是女孩子.

附帶一提: 我在聖誕節那天第一次感覺到baby在動, 正當嘉信在我肚旁笑呵呵時!

December Is the Month for Birthday Celebrations

December is surely the month for birthday celebrations! The biggest one, of course, is for Jesus our saviour! He is the reason for the season!

12月是慶祝生日月! 當然最值得慶祝的是救主耶穌的誕生--祂是聖誕佳節的中心!

Birthday Celebration #1: for Auntie Sue
生日慶祝之一: 大姑姑
Needed to warm Noah up from the sleep before the party began

剛睡醒的嘉信在慶祝前需要暖身一下

The cake is pretty, but my auntie is much prettier!

蛋糕雖美, 但比不過我姑姑啦!

Grandma & Noah couldn't wait to enjoy the cake!

阿嬤和嘉信認真地看著蛋糕!



Video: Can you "gas" what Noah was doing?
影片: 你猜得出嘉信在做什麼嗎?

Birthday Celebration #2: for Noah
生日慶祝之二: 嘉信
Playing his birthday present train set (it's a very practical gift because Danny loves playing it as much as Noah)

玩他的生日禮物火車組(這禮物很實際, 因凱旭和嘉信一樣喜歡玩)

Our family with the birthday cake. I guess Noah was thinking when he finally could eat the cake... (the "Happy Birthday" decor on the cake was taken from Auntie Sue's)

我們一家和蛋糕合影. 我猜嘉信在想著他何時才能吃蛋糕... (蛋糕上的"Happy Birthday"裝飾字是來自大姑姑的蛋糕)

Birthday Celebration #3: for Andrew
生日慶祝之三: Andrew
Blow out the candles, Andrew!

吹蠟燭囉!

Dancing with the snowman.

和雪人共舞.

Birthday Celebration #4: for Auntie Dorothy
生日慶祝之四: 二姑姑

Happy birthday duet

生日快樂歌二重奏

Did you like the surprise party we gave you, Auntie Dorothy?

二姑姑, 妳喜歡我們給妳的驚喜嗎?

Birthday Celebration #5: Jesus Christ!
生日慶祝之五: 耶穌基督

Noah will play a little sheep in a Christmas skit at church . What a good way to celebrate Jesus' birthday! (hopefully he won't play a "lost sheep"... )

嘉信將在教會的聖誕劇扮演小羊. 真是個特別的方式來慶祝主耶穌的誕生!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Noah! Thank God for giving our family a bundle of joy!

祝嘉信兩歲生日快樂! 感謝神給我們的家歡笑滿滿!


This slideshow is about 4 minutes long (it's really hard for me to decide which pictures to delete...), so grab a cup of coffee and enjoy...

這照片集差不多四分鐘長(很難決定刪掉那些照片), 何不泡杯咖啡好好享受一下吧...

Jumper Party

It was Noah's first time going to a jumper party, which was for Esther's 6th birthday. At first he was afraid of the noise from the air pump, but he warmed up at no time.

嘉信第一次參加"跳跳樂派對"(我自己隨便翻譯的), 慶祝Esther的6歲生日. 一開始他有點怕打氣機的聲音, 但馬上就暖好身玩起來了.


Pardon me for my creepy voice... (you see how nervous I was)
對我嚇人的聲音真感抱歉... (可知我有多緊張)

Too bad I wasn't allowed by friends to play the jumpers due to my pregnancy... (Thanks to Samantha & Jonathan for playing with Noah)

因我懷孕朋友不允許我玩, 好可惜呦... (感謝Samantha和Jonathan帶Noah玩)

When the party host announced it was time for group pictures, Noah run to the front, sat on the ground, and held still like this.

當主持人要小朋友們排好照團體照, 嘉信自己跑到前面坐在地上不動讓大人照相.

Seeing Noah sat at the table nicely with other kids makes me imagine how his school days will be like.

看到嘉信和其他的小朋友乖乖坐著吃東西, 讓我想像到將來他上學的情景.

Anne-Marie & Noah, looking tired after all the jumpings and shoutings.

在一陣跳躍和歡呼後看起來累累的Anne-Marie和嘉信.

Got Elf-ed


Click on the picture to see our family get elfed! (FYI, We still don't know it's a boy or girl yet.)
點閱照片來看我們家成為聖誕小矮人! (註:我們還不知第二胎是男孩還是女孩.)

Did You Hear "Elephant"?

Noah has his particular way to say "elephant," just like Andrew had his way to say "Thomas" before. I can't wait to hear Noah say "Happy Birthday!"

嘉信有他特別的方式說"elephant"(大象), 就像Andrew說"Thomas"(湯瑪士小火車). 我等不及聽嘉信說"Happy Birthday"!

This Concludes November's Blog (Part II)

These two video clips show you how much Noah loves visitors (esp. relatives) and Thomas.

這兩個影片讓你看嘉信有多喜歡訪客(尤其是親戚)與湯瑪士小火車.

1. Grandma 阿嬤篇


2. Cousins 表姊篇


The following pictures were taking during our family gatherings:
以下的照片是在家庭團聚時拍的:

When hearing "bye bye," Noah run to Cousin Hannah and hugged her like this, hoping it would delay their departure.

當嘉信一聽到"再見", 他就跑去扒住久馨姊姊, 希望這樣能讓大家晚點走.

We spent Thanksgiving at grandma's house. The food was yummy and the games were fun (The game we played in this photo is called "spoon")

我們在阿嬷家過感恩節. 食物很好吃且遊戲很好玩(照片裡我們在玩的遊戲叫"湯匙").

This year we went after-Thanksgiving shopping together (expect Danny who went racing). Did we find good buys? Definitely!

今年我們一同去感恩節後特價購物(除了凱旭去賽車外). 我們有發現好東西喔!
