Ah, Love...

It's already February, and tomorrow is February 14th, a.k.a V-Day. So it's high time for us to show some love... to this blog again!

The past year has been a busy one with many changes for our family. The most change always happens with Tyson, though. It amazes us how much he has grown and developed into the spunky smart monkey that he is today!

Flashback photo (ahh... how we miss the chubby thighs!):

Photos below from October to December 2009.

Tristan's B-Day

Trick or Treat!
Adorable Cookie Monster with a side of extra-cute Fries!
Examining his booty (he doesn't like candy, so to him, they're all just play things):


Open the Chips!
So Tyson doesn't eat candy... but he does enjoy an occasional chip! The day after Halloween, he was caught on camera trying to open a bag of chips... even though mom said he could have a few after naptime, not before. When mom asked him what he was doing, he giggled and responded enthusiastically "I'm trying to open the chips!!"
He's laughing and hiding at being caught red-handed:

Cookies for the Cookie Monster
Mom and Tyson baked oatmeal cookies. He really enjoyed mixing the gooey batter.


Mom's B-Day

Goo-Ma's B-Day
After dinner, Goo-Ma treated Tyson to a toy from the vending machine. With the excitement on his face, it looks more like they were playing slot machines!


Random PicsHe loves cooking with his microwave from Kai-Ma and Kai-Yea:Blowing bubbles:We know who runs this joint...
Tyson arranged Noah and the animals......and then said grace for them so they could eat their meal!

His penmanship is really coming along... he's mastered more letters and even some numbers--in both English and Chinese! We'll post some examples, along with some recent drawings of faces and Sesame Street characters :)

Merry Christmas!

With lots of love from the Wongs!Tyson was a real trooper when he took this photo--no tears, but a bit of hat head which gave him an unintentional funky hairstyle. All the best for 2010... and yes, we promise to update this blog soon!

Happy Second 2nd Birthday, Tyson!

Yah for Tyson! Today marks his second 2nd birthday... and his last corrected birthday! He is officially caught up to his real age now... which as of today, is 2 years, 3 months and 5 days old :) We love you, little guy.

Flashback of Tyson on his due date... you've come a long way, baby!

Budding Picasso

Tyson loves to draw. He could draw neat and even circles at about 16 months, and has been drawing "faces" since 18 months. When he draws his faces, he will tell you what part he is drawing as he draws them ("eyes, ears, bei-bei (nose), happy (for a smiling mouth), hair"). Sometimes he will even tell you who he is drawing (usually a Sesame Street character). Here are some pics of his recent toddler masterpieces... you can see the progression. He's now tackling printing letters. Four letters down, 22 more to go!

Summer Photo Catch-Up

Despite the lack of warm weather, it's been a busy summer for our family. Tyson turned two, daddy turned a bit older than two, and we sold our first home and moved out, amongst other escapades. We were thankful just to have some down time to spend with family and friends. Here are some various pics from the last few months.

Tyson's second birthday
Waiting for cakeThe cousins have been told not to blow out the candleTyson couldn't care less about eating cake--his favourite part is the singing!

The birthday twins' second birthday party
Complete with an adorable Hello Kitty and Ernie cake lovingly made by Kai-Ma, a Winnie the Pooh pinata (poor Pooh suffered many blows before succumbing to his injuries), and yummy food hot off the grill. The kids had a lot of fun!
