Copy Cat

Sunday night I was watching my fav show on TV-Desperate Housewife while I was battling my "never" ending allergy. Mike and I was watching the show, our little Dylan was on the other side of our sofa. He's playing, walking , playing and walking. Just do not sit still. And me sneezing so hard and many many times caught the little green monster attention. He came up to me, stood right next to his beloved mama and copy my sneezing. Just like me but a miniture version. But I didn't get it. I thought he learn something new from the book I read for him earlier that morning - "The Three Little Pigs" . So I told Dylan " Achoo the big bad wolf" . Mike said I dont think so. "I think he is copying you". Then he start laughing... Dylan is the same way. He copied me as if he was sneezing too but in a more mischievous way. What a stinker ! "hmmm, how can a 14 month old toddler can make fun like that. I think it is cute and very hilarious. I guess Mike and I will be watching what we do from now on. Monkey sees and monkey do.

Curly hair no more?

One Saturday afternoon, I was surprise when Dylan came out of his room from an afternoon nap with a short hair. He looks like a little man now. More boyish and handsome. Mike cut his hair while I was at work because he knows I would not let him cut Dylan's hair for the first time. I would like to take him to a professional. Well he did a good job. Ask him if Dlan gave him a hard time, he said he's fine ! Hmmm , I wonder if he tied him, gave him some Nyquil or sleeping pill. That boy would not sit still on his highchair for more than 20 minutes without getting antsy. Now that Dylan's hair is short it is much easier to comb, it is not everywhere. He looks more cuter than ever !

I save some of his light brown locks and kept it. Next time mommy and daddy is looking for Dylan's first teeth that fell off. I dont I am ready for that. I enjoy him this much, this age.. I'm sure Mike too.

Now I know that raising a kid is time consuming and tiring because they take up most of our time, but I also realize that it is all "worth it". I can just look a my son's face and everything is fine.

It was October 21, 2006 when Dylan got his first haircut.

How did he know?

Oh well Dylan did so many things that I find so cute and adorable. Like last night he got hold of his milk bottle from his baby baby bag. Took it and went straight to me while pointing at the fridge. He can't talk yet but i know what he exactly want. Dylan wants milk ! I still ask him if he wants some "mik mik" , and sure he did. You just got to give it to him in a matter of seconds because he is such an impatient little man.

When he wants something to eat, he will let you now because he will not stop until you take him to the kitchen. I guess he see me and his daddy where we out food. And oh his favorite food to eat all the time- Yo baby Yogurt. His face would just lit up once he see the carton.

A while ago I was giving him some baby snacks, I sign language " want more" and he does the same thing I was doing. Sometimes he do it right away sometimes he dont. But I am not worried about that since I know Dylan understands his mama.


He does not talk yet or say any word clearly but "mama", dada" baba" mam mam". Nothing that we adults can understand. Although when I ask him to about his binky, shoes, sharmon, where is dylan, bird bird, cho cho train, bear bear, bottle, mik mik, teteeth(brushing the teeth) he knows. I think in his own time he will just one day talk to me non stop.

Dylan oh Dylan

In a blink of an eye, my Dylan was already 14 month old. Soon he will be a teenager and before I knew it - a grown up man ! That is why I enjoy every moment I get to spend with him. Dylan just give me so much fun. He is such a fun baby ! very cute ! smitten by him all the time. He can't talk yet but he make sure he gets what he wants. He points at something that he wants and if you gave him what he was aking for then he would grunt, or cry , or simply irritable. Last night, I gave Dylan a small piece of cheese pizza and he sure loves it. I was washing the dishes and a paper towel fell off the floor, Dylan was right next to me, pick up the paper towel and wipes his mouth and took off to go to his daddy. I think that is so cute for him to do that. I haven't told him that but he sure remebers that a paper towel is for wiping..

Last night he was sitting on his high chair eating, then he turns around and pointed to me the elephant. Since I been teaching him that, he now knows.. What a smart baby !

Also a while ago, I gave him a small cookie that our dog Sharmon who's been trying to get from him since I gave it to Dylan. anyway the poor dog just got a punch from his nose from who else but Dylan who laughs after doing so.

The very first thing he learn from me was the " cho cho train". Dylan was about 5 months old and I taught him where the cho cho was in his room. It was the quilt that was a gift to him with cho cho train. before when ask him "where's the cho cho train"? he would look at it, his big brown eyes. Now he points at it ! he points at the bear bear, duck duck and the bird bird ! Yeah I said those to him twice since I read that teaching a child like Dylan's age help them comprehend a lot faster if you say the word twice...

Then he discovers that it is alot easier to open the fridge, just a little bit of elbow grease. He thinks it is fun.

One day I ask told him doggie say "woof woof" , and I made some piggy sound. And while i was doing those sounds, he stood up and went to his toys and pick up the "animals book", oh my Dylan knows....

And what about when he is hungry or wants something to eat???? Dylan would take you exactly where to go. His high chair ! It means mommy feed me. One time he even holds his high chair !

Since he start walking we can't keep up with him anymore. Gotta go outside all the time. I just love playing with him outside the yard with Mike of course.

In a couple of weeks it is Halloween again and I am very excited. I get to dress Dylan in a costume. He sure hates anything that goes on his head so I will try to get him something that does not have a mask, a hat etc etc. I'm sure he will be stinkin' cute.

For a while I gotten crazy about buying him shoes since he start walking. I think he should have shoes for every outfit to match. Is that some crazy new addiction of mine????? Also I just can't stop buying him clothes. He just got to have something new all the time.

I just wish we can spend more time with him if we dont have to work. ....
