Hailey is 27 months old

Hailey is 2 years and 3 months old today. She is starting to talk in phrases. She can say things like, throw ball, more milk, no more pizza but not very clearly. She now calls Griffin, gēge ( older brother in Mandarin) and calls herself meimei (younger sister in Mandarin). She still can't pronounce thier names so when we told her yesterday that she can call Griffin, gēge and call herself, meimei, she can now easily call Griffin. She now has a habit of looking sad with pouting lips (emoting) every time she feels sad like when Griffin gets something from her or when she is not given something she wants.

Here are some of her new words:

July 26 - dad for done
July 27 - co for cold

Griffin turns 7

Griffin is 7 years old today. Time flies so fast. It seems like only a few years ago, he was my baby. We used to be together 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He would always want me by his side saying he'd miss me if I would go somewhere without him. He is now in Grade 1 and has grown up to be a very smart boy. He has never given me problems regarding school work. But I hope that he learns to control his temper now that he's older. We did not throw him a party for his 7th birthday, we just gave him a wii instead. He's very happy with his gift. Happy birthday baby boy! Wishing you many many more birthdays to come!
