Melissa singing ABC

Melissa starting to learn more and more. She is starting to speak in mini sentences, putting a 2 or 3 different words together to form a phrase now. Some examples are:

She'll say dada lai le (dada is coming/here) or mama lai le when either mommy or daddy enters the room. Other phrases include hai yao cookie/mento/nainai (I want more cookie, bums, or milk). She also uses the negative version boo yao, "I don't want" for things too.. Of course, sometimes she doesn't seem to know what she wants, she'll say boo yao to everything offered at her and then cry when it's taken away..

She'll also say bye bye poo poo when she wants to change diaper (and when we open up the diaper, she'll say "Aiya!" and laugh, since we often say that if we find messy poop we have to deal with).. Potty training her will probably be our next project. We'll probably transition her from daycare to

Her Chinese seems to be a bit better than her English at the moment, we're hoping that she manages to learn both well (probably will need to send her to Chinese classes for that when she's a bit older). She can't quite sing abc yet.. but she tries.. Here's a short video of her trying to sing..

Melissa meets baby Sara

My cousin Stephenie recently came home from Hong Kong with her 3 month old baby, Sara. Her family held a gathering for all the relatives. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go as I was in UCLA but Sandy and Melissa manged to go.

Aunt Susan and Aunt Anna also went to the party and made a video for Melissa. Thanks!
