long overdue

Lots has happened since Sean’s last milestone…and not a whole lot of time to update the blog!  But now we’re on vacation (well, T is having to work on his, but at least he’s with us), so I’m attempting to throw in a couple of highlights from the last few months.

This video was taken right before bedtime the night of Sean’s 2nd birthday party. :)

another milestone!

Sean threw away his pacifier on Monday on his own volition (although we think Trey may have prompted him a bit).

Dad: Good morning!

Sean: I’m going to throw away my pacifier.

Dad: Really?  Hold on… G, come over here!  Ok, tell Mommy what you want to do.

Sean: I’m going to throw away my pacifier.

Mom: Really?? Why?

Sean: Because I don’t need it anymore.  I’m a big boy.

Trey: Yeah, he’s a big boy now.

Mom: Are you sure?

Sean runs to the trash can and throws his pacifier away.

He’s asked for it a few times since, but once we remind him that he said he didn’t need it anymore and that he’s a big boy, he does ok. :)

Maybe he’ll be ready for potty-training soon…

Spring!

Sean is 2! (well, almost…)

We had a Finding Nemo birthday party for Sean on Saturday (he turns 2 on Thursday, the 26th).

Snow in Beijing!

These pics were taken last week (after the clouds were seeded with silver iodide). :p

The boys had a blast playing in the snow…

The show that upstaged the rest of the fireworks…

This is super close to where we live…Turbo just happened to be at one of our favorite hang-outs on the 35th floor grabbing a drink with a friend and watching fireworks…and ended up watching this instead.  Our apartment is between where Turbo is filming and the fire.
