One Size Fits All

and so it continues, the tale of how noah fits in everything and everywhere...

he destroys everything with his eating and licking, even the fridge in the church nursery could not be free from noah the destroyer...

a quick recap of places he's been so far, i think the grocery bag still wins as a crowd favourite. I've probably forgotten some other ones, but these are pretty classic:

Well, that's all the time we have folks, see you next time!

Fancy Sunday Clothes

Everyone said i looked so mature in this outfit, and that i looked like a mini-man. I say I look quite spiffy. See my bottom two teeth? I have two more coming out on top, I guess all i wanted for Christmas IS my two front teeth. I am usually a good boy who can sit by himself and read and play. I love to play with things that are not made to be toys more than toys themselves. Fax machines, phones, remote controls, my mom's glasses and computer wires are on my top-5 list.

I am super active, but food always calmes me down - definitely genetic. no doubt about it.

Here is me being dragged away from my toys so that my parents can go out. Grr, you do not come between my favourite toy and me. (see my mean expression - my dad thinks i'm a bully).

Mommy promised more Hong Kong and Canada pictures, they are coming, she's super busy now, so be patient.

Noah in HK - II

Riding the plane was fun at first, but then i got tired of being in such a small place. There were so many people playing with me, but i couldn't crawl around at all. It was hard to fall asleep, but i finally did it and Daddy was nice enough to be my pillow. Here I am in my Gong Gong and Poh's Poh's place. Boy, they live really high up in the building! 43th Floor! I loved looking through the windows!

I'm pretty good at standing with assistance, you wait until i walk! Mommy and Daddy will have a fun time chasing after me. Daddy decides to style his hair like Wolverine one day, I didn't know what to think of it. But the next day, I decided that it was definitely awesome so i asked daddy to style it for me.

I performed tricks for Gong Gong and Poh Poh by demonstrating my extremely wicked balancing skills with Daddy, who trains me well.

Travelling in Hong Kong sure was fun. Daddy put me in this baby REI hiking backpack. I was taller than everyone there. I guess they don't sell these cool transportation devices there, because everyone was pointing and "ooh"-ing at us. But then again, they could be doing that because i'm so ridiculously good looking. (like this third picture here, very nooolanderly)

Gong Gong would not stop feeding my parents. All the food looked so good and I couldn't eat much of anything. There was that beautiful crab with noodles, the lobster that was humungous (look at my expression), and hotpot beef that melted in your mouth (at least that's what my parents said).

I require a lot of entertainment. One restaurant gave me a balloon and crayons and crafts. The balloon was a good idea, it preoccupied me for a good while, but i just wanted to eat the crayons but nobody would let me. Since I was in Hong Kong, I decided I too should be tech-savvy, so i grabbed Daddy's cellphone and pretended to call Gong Gong and Poh Poh. You wouldn't believe the decorations they have at the mall - they go all out! Here I am posing with a toy soldier. Poh Poh was really scared that I was going to fall.

The Christmas lights outside our apartment was so bright and beautiful! I loved it (zoom in for my happy face!) Oddly enough, there was this Mermaid and Viking in front of the Christmas tree (of course, they too are very ... Christmas-like?), my parents decided to take pictures like tourist, but I wouldn't let them leave me out of this picture! Take note - who's the viking and who's the mermaid in the last picture... hehe

We met up with a lot of people, here are some (the rest will be in another post)...

Daddy's old friend Josh Liu (the King/Boss) from Prairie Bible College! Isn't it wild that they met up years after college all the way in Hong Kong?

I also befriended the owner of the goose restaurant that Gong Gong loves. Uncle David made me PR manager because all his customers loved playing with me. He said I could come back and work for him anytime. My future is set.

Michelle

Finally, a picture of Michelle and Noah together. I haven't been able to find many nice pictures of them together, because one or the other is always making a face (mostly michelle), so i finally gave up. Enjoy.

Yesterday was Orientation for school. I stood in line so many times at so many different places just so I could give them more money. I picked up my first quarter supplies - a big portfolio case with tons of textbooks and equipment. I'm 25 years old and going back to school and it feels weird, especially because most of my peers seems younger. I am so looking forward to the things that I will learn - Basic Patterndrafting, Industrial Sewing and Design for Apparel!

Michelle and Eric came over for dinner last night. It was non-stop eating with Bob's "Fry-day" Extravaganza. Eggrolls, fish-n-chips and popcorn shrimp, ending the night with icecream. Bob kept trying to make Eric drink all the beverages we have at the house. There was so much laughing at the Do's residence - rewatching "Lazy Sunday" fifteen times, learning to play Sudoku, introducing Eric to Dynomite, knitting away with Michelle, and having so much fun we never got around to watching a movie or playing Bang. Good times.

Noah in HK - I

Noah and Grandma found Bullseye from Toy Story 2 at home and was reminded of his favourite movie of all time. My dad has already started spoiling Noah with toys, he bought him this thumb sucking monkey and Noah loved it, you can see him hugging it so tightly.

Noah thinks Gong Gong is his homeboy and you shouldn't mess with this duo. He loves laughing and sleeping in his arms. Doesn't he look like a mini version of my dad here?

When Noah wakes up in the morning, he always smiles with Uncle Manchester. At night when we eat with the whole family, Noah attacks Auntie Jasmine who he thinks is a big doll for him. Noah is greedy, he watches TV and plays with Great Uncle 4 at the same time.

Noah is the first and only great-grandson on my side of the family. Look at all the attention he's getting. He always tries to flirt and play with everyone he meets, even strangers on the street. He has befriended the owner of this restaurant that my dad takes us.

I have even more pictures to post, but i'll save that for later - stay tuned for exciting episodes of Ocean Park, Broken Window, Seattle Friends in HK & of course more eating than you can ever handle.
