Grin and Smile

August 23, 2011

Even with a cold, Simon is still smiling. We think he might have caught the cold while he was visiting his old daycare last week. Ron and I also started feeling a little sick today. I hope it’s a short cold.

Simon likes his shopping bag…

Stacking Blocks

August 21, 2011

I was impressed with Simon’s stacking skills. He’s able to stack at least 4 or 5 blocks.

Simon in action: stacking blocks and saying “over” (as in “fall over”).

Simon likes shopping bags (like mommy!)

Simon enjoying our backyard playing with his water table INSIDE the pool. He learned when you pour water in the top, it will drip and come down through the slide back into the main pool.

Walking Hand in Hand

August 20, 2011

We were in Oakland Chinatown to attend my co-worker’s baby’s red egg and ginger party. We waited for my dad to finish work before we headed to the restaurant. Simon was easily entertained with an 8 dram prescription bottle and cap.

Simon got a smiley-face balloon at the luncheon and got to take it home with him. He walked hand-in-hand with Grandpa Tam while we walked to the grocery stores.

We bought some large white nectarines which Simon insisted on carrying. The bag was pretty heavy for him and he had a hard time carrying by himself but wouldn’t let us help him! Eventually he said “ow!” when the plastic bag left red markings on his arms. Pretty stubborn kid we’ve got.
