Random pics

Here are some of random pictures in October. First, we only had 3 pictures this month until the last week of October yet by the end of the month, we had over 100. These are only a few of them.

My favorite time of the Day

Thanks for the good weather in this fall. Skyler and Mel were able to be outside a lot. This is his favorite time of the day (although Sesame still wins). He could just play outside for hours. He loves to pick up leaves, flowers, and loves to touch sands (occasionally he eats them. He knows that's "no-no" so he usually shakes his head to test us if he could still do it). Now he can say "happa (leaf)," "More, more," "baby," "Mama," etc. His favorite word so far is "Wao..." Every new things or experiment, he would say it. It is amazing that now he wants to do things his way, not to be told what to do. We enjoy his toddler stage.

Gardener Villege

Satomi went to Gardener Villege with Young Woman and she had so much fun that she took Skyler next late morning and took Robert that night (so she went 3 times there in 2 days!). Skyler liked to see many children who were wearing halloween costumes. He was scared of witches yet enjoys the walk. It was the first time that Skyler didn't want Robert to touch him nor holding his hand. Robert was shock because Skyler usually loves to play with Robert. He cannot complain much, since Skyler gives him a lot more kisses than giving to Satomi. Anyhow, this was Skyler's first time going outside after sunset, so he thought it was pretty neat.

Zoo again!

Before it gets cold, we decided to go Zoo again. This time, Susan (Skyler's grandmother) and Brad (Skyler's uncle) came with us. It was the first time for Skyler to even go somewhere with them. Skyler thinks Brad is his friend, so he usually likes to be around with him. At the zoo, Skyler was so happy that he could walk endlessly, he fell twice and made huge bumps on his forehead. He was so excited to see animals, especially ducks and bears.

First Step- I can Walk!

Finally, Skyler decided to walk without support. He actually walked with support before he even crawled. We went on our family walk almost every evening this month and it has paid off. He only wanted to walk behind us for a while. Now he walks so fast and he wants to go where he wants to instead of where we want him to go. When we redirect him, he sure expresses that's not what he wants. It is fun to see how much now he communicates.

Fall Greeting!

This is one of our family traditions to go up to Mountain to see beautiful colors. It snowed and rained later that day. Skyler was excited to explore God's creations. At this point, he was only standing for a few seconds and wasn't walking by himself yet. We wish you were there with us. It was beautiful!

Family Time

We enjoyed September's whether. We were able to go family walk almost everyday. It helped Skyler to walk more and explored different world. Now he knows "shoes" in both languages. We can get him to do what we want him to do such as "Let's go get your shoes, can you come down stairs/can we clean up?" etc. The only way we can pull him back from outside is "Ok, you can watch Sesame Street now..." Elmo and Cookie still wins
