He seems to have the exact same expression every time he's at Jamison Park. Nose scrunched, left eye slightly smaller, big smile :) Reference the May 1 post.
The days of just Mama, Baba, and Leelee are dwindling, so yesterday on my Friday off I made it Leelee and Mom day. We went to Jamison Park and I realized if he has distractions (a big bucket) he plunges into water with no hesitation. Afterward, we went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream where I gave Leelee the choice of Strawberry or Chocolate. He always picks Chocolate. Surprising...Dae loves strawberry, but I am chocolate all the way so that must be yet another Bian gene he's inherited.
After our nap, we went to Tin Shed for happy hour dinner with Dae (who got off early!) and then I lapsed into a nauseous semi-coma and allowed Leelee to watch 3 consecutive episodes of Blues Clues in our bed. That's terrible, but I have to say Blues Clues is a pretty good show! Speaking of TV, I'm pretty surprised Leelee has not been as mesmerized by the TV as the rest of the family certainly is. Maybe it's because the only show he has really watched is Thomas the Train, and he seems to lose interest in Thomas after about 5 minutes, after which he wanders off to find one of us to play with him. So yesterday I decided to do a test run with Blues Clues which proved he does indeed have great interest in TV! Not sure if that is success or failure :)
I mentioned that he has become a big scaredy-cat and I mean big. Thursday we went to Volvo to get the brakes replaced and he was super scared of the noises from the auto shop. I put my hands over his ears to show him that he should do that and he put up a huge fuss every time I took my hands away. Then we went home and they are doing construction on the deck right above our unit, which trickles down into little drilling and pounding noises every now and again. He was so scared he would not leave my side at home, and when I finally had had enough and left the room to go lay down in another room, he ran after me, scared as can be, yelling "sorry, mommy, sorry!". I felt so bad (But seriously, he needs to get over this). Dae happened to walk in the door just as a frantic Leelee was running around the house yelling "sorry" and he was wondering what in the world was going on!
In other news, he is just so cute. He says the funniest things:
"I have an eye for cars" - that's what he said to Dae last week in the car when he spotted a familiar car on the way home from daycare
"Samich" = sandwich. The "Ch" sound is very well enunciated.
"Polly" = potty
He says "Mine" all the time now. This morning he was clinging onto my leg saying "My mommy...mine"
And finally, I keep expecting this baby to come any day now. My main questions (which are highly important) are 1) Will he have stick straight or curly/wavy hair 2) Will his forehead be high (Dae) or low (me)? 3) What will his ears look like? 4) Will he have flat feet? 5) Will he inherit all my genes, like hoarding food in his mouth and being scared of everything? I just hope the little fellow is healthy. Still no name. I still officially have about 2 weeks, but last time Christian came almost 2 weeks early so I unfortunately have these high expectations now. My dad is nicely coming into town for the weekend to be our on-call grandparent in case there's any action. I hope!
