Sorry for not updating in a long long time.  Both Jocelyn and Dylan keeps up pretty busy.  But a lot has happened since then so we’ll just highlight the important stuff . . . .

Dylan is speaking a lot more now.  He likes to say “No Thank You” to everything now. 

-”Dylan, time to take a bath”

-”No thank you”

-”Dylan, pick up your toys”

-”No thank you”

There’s a game I like to play with him on the car ride home.  He’ll say the “opposite” of what I say. 

-”I love you Dylan”

-”I love you Daddy”

-”I love Mei Mei”

-”I love mommy”

-”Big gate”

-”small gate”

-”Dylan is big”

-”Mei Mei is small”

Of course, now that Dylan is two and a half years old, he is getting a bit more stubborn.  Well, I guess that’s why it’s the terrible twos. . . . I hope it’ll magically change when he hits three. 

Dylan’s learned to ride a two wheel bicycle (with training wheels) ever since he saw our neighbor Maddy ride her bicycle.  Now almost every evening, he’ll have to go to Maddy’s bicycle and tell me that it’s his bicycle and that he wants to ride it.  Thank goodness for such gracious neighbors that they always let him ride it.

Jocelyn is 7 months old now.  At her 6 months checkup, she weighed 17 lb and measured 27 inches tall. (Basically, 90%+ for both weight and height).  She finally learned to be mobile – not yet crawling per say, but definately can move forwards, roll in circles, turn directions.  SHe would do a push up, pull her legs in, and get down and move her hands forward – I guess kind of like an inch worm.  But lately she’s been getting pretty good at moving across the room.  My favorite new Jocelyn trick – “she can sort of hold her own milk bottle now“  Especially at her 3AM feeding, I’ll just stick the bottle in her hands and fall asleep.  Next thing I know, I’ll find an empty bottle laying next to her.  It’s like magic . . .

Well, hopefully, I’ll put more pictures up as soon as I can – until the next update.

During our trip to Shanghai, we decided to take some glamour shots of the kids.  Dylan had lots of fun – he loved being in front of the camera.  So much so that even when it was not his turn, he wanted to get on stage to get his pictures taken.  The photographer must have taken over a hundred shots – unfortunately, we were only allowed to keep 12 – so I’ve posted them up on the photos page – enjoy!  (Here’s a preview)
