Ed, Laura & Matthew – Our Family Blog

1. When Matthew burps loudly after finishing his bottle, I laugh and then he laughs with a look of embarrassment, clearly he knows that I’m laughing at his burp
2. When he says “no, no, no” with his index finger waving from left to right, such an accurate reenactment of Yo Gaba Gaba episode
3. When his eyes lit up with excitement as I show him a piece of M&M candy in my hand
4. When he gives me a big hug and cling to my body as I arrive at the daycare to pick him up
5. When he talks non-stop right before bed time: “An An, Ida, Yei Yei, Ma Ma, Mommy, Daddy…”
6. When he pretends to drink water while playing with his toy kitchen cup
7. When he kisses us on the cheek when we ask him to kiss us
8. When he is being a social butterfly by blowing kisses and saying hi to people
9. When he points to his butt and say “cho cho” which means smelly in Chinese during potty training
10. When he gives big smiles in the morning when he wakes up in the morning, clearly he had a good night sleep which means we did, too
