Noah and Ice-cream

Noah and Ice-Cream

All children love ice-cream.
Noah has been enjoying ice-cream for dessert for a while.
Now... he gets to try ice-cream cone!
He seems to enjoy it even more.
Another new thing is that Noah now knows what it means to smile for the camera.
He somehow has discovered an innate ability of the cheesy smile, passed down from generations of Chan.

Official spring..but with snow.

Officially Spring and still snowing...

The record winter continues into the spring.
The good news is Noah is finally learning to enjoy the snow more.
Daddy tried to make a snowman for Noah, but it ended up being a big Navel orange instead. He didn't remember that it is hard work to make a snowman.
Noah now is advancing to using a spoon to eat and to drink from a cup. He seems to enjoy doing more big boy stuff...except walking.

Noah's little brother!

Noah's little brother

Noah is going to be a big brother soon.
We broke the news back in December to everyone. At first, Noah was a little stunned.
Now, I think he is more used to the idea. The Big Brother book actually became one of his favorite bedtime readings. The little Baby Chan No.2 is growing well. Mommy seems to grow much more quickly, however. He is already different from his big brother. When Noah had his ultrasound, the difficulty was that he moved too much that it was difficult to do measurement. The little brother would not move much that we almost had to reschedule another ultrasound visit. But, he sure did like to move his hands and kick his feet.

Waiting for Spring, March 08

Waiting for the springtime.

This winter is so long. Easter is coming up, but snow is still in the forecast. Noah is changing everyday. He is more and more verbal and boisterous. "NOOO.." is probably his favorite word, unfortunately, for now. He is trying more new food each day but still leaves so much mess for Mommy to clean. We start to venture outdoor more, as it gets warmer. Just hoping for the day to rid of winter coats.
