How cute are you?

21 months old:
We play a game - as you run by while I'm sitting on the floor, I say "hug!" and fling my arms out. You run into my arms, then run just out of sight before turning around...we repeat a dozen times...

You yell extra loud to our friend's sons: "older brother" in Chinese to get their attention.

When I lie down with you in bed and see if you'll have an afternoon nap by pretending to sleep myself, you laugh at me and lick my face.

Sitting in your car seat, drowsy, you suddenly lean forward to check that I'm still next to you before closing your eyes.

You join a group of older kids running around to bop about and flap your arms in their midst, picking up on their energy.

You don't mind when other kids play with your toys!

After you flip through the pages of a book, at the last page you say "bye-bye."

You like to examine and name the contents of the fridge, and sit on the ledge, even though it must be cold.

You've learned to turn the television off before leaving the room.

You imitate words said in conversation.

You say the same word over and ove again if you think it's fun to say.

With the Talking Tom 2 app, you say "Ty," "mama," "dan tat (egg tart)."

You can count to ten in Chinese, sing parts of the teletubbies song, and say "go go go" on cue in the thingamajig (cat in the hat) song.

You snuggle up close to watch TV.

Sometime you laugh and laugh and laugh at the repetition of something funny.

You name the family members you see in photographs.

Every weekday as I come home, you greet me, and then alert me to the mail that came in that day.

If we have company and you are distracted, you still look for me and do a visual/physical check in before heading off again.

You make a Valentine craft (with help!).
