While Halloween falls on Saturday this year, both kiddies are getting over runny noses and so we skipped the annual parade in the neighborhood park. Maybe next year the weather will be nicer… but for now this will have to do. Can you tell who’s who?
The best part of the day is coming home to spend time with the kids and Laurent. Chloe is becoming more and more talkative. She’s got a great vocabulary of small words (mostly in Cantonese) that include grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, little brother, aunt, milk, fish (short for Goldfish), open, bath, eat, and give please. And of course there’s a whole bunch of baby talk that is jibberish to us but I’m sure makes perfect sense to her. Sebastien is as cute as ever and continues to grow like a weed. He’s always happy to talk to you and give you a bunch of big smiles – he always brightens my day.
Here are some videos of Sebastien from September that I had missed posting previously:

During my pregnancy when I was carrying Sebastien, I could really tell the difference between him and Chloe, specifically how much active movement I felt. My OB attributed it to the fact that with Chloe, the placenta was on top of her so it muffled some of her movements whereas with Sebastien, the placenta was underneath him. Somewhere along the end of the second trimester, around 8:30pm after we had put Chloe to bed and I put my feet up on the couch, Sebastien would start this marathon of kicking. And when I say marathon, I really mean marathon. Laurent and I counted a few times and it would get upwards of 20-30 consecutive kicks within a second or two of each other. And it was consistently every night. It was the weirdest thing! Now that Sebastien has joined our family, his kicking has not subsided. At least it confirmed that I wasn’t crazy feeling all those kicks! He reminds me of a Disney character, what do you think? =0)

Some new pictures of our happy little family. Love you all!
Little baby boy is five months old already!! Where did the time go? Lord knows he is SO big and already so heavy that it’s hard to believe he’s only five months. He’s so chatty and loves to gurgle all the time. When we take him outside, he’s so alert – he loves to look at the leaves on the trees blowing around.
Look at my handsome little man. I wish I could take some credit but since my children look nothing like me, clearly I had nothing to do with their good looks. And he’s so fun, and such a happy baby, can’t you tell from his pictures? I just want to squeeze those cheeks and kiss and cuddle him all day!
Soon it will be time to start packing for our trip to Hong Kong in November. Never mind that Mommy is uber-stressed out about the trip but it is comforting to know that we’ll have a huge support system on the flight there. Between Grandma, Grandpa, Great-Uncle Savio, Auntie Queenie, Daddy and Mommy, I think the odds are with us that we’ll figure this 20-hour trip. Definitely not going to be doing it again anytime soon! Although I’m sure I’ll LOTS of fun stories to blog about! More to come…
As promised, here are a few clips put together of the kiddies as of late. Hope you enjoy!
Miss Chloe and her fun-filled trips to the park. She definitely loves the swings but thinks she is a big girl and doesn’t want to go in the kiddie swing anymore…

A few people have asked if we’ll be enrolling Chloe in gymnastics since she seems to be a natural for the sport. I don’t know. It’s too early for all that, ha ha.

This video just makes me smile and want to cuddle with my son. He’s just so yummy and cute.

It’s been a crazy two weeks, especially since Grandma and Grandpa went away for vacation. Took lots of pictures and tons of videos but no time to sit down and do any edits! So here are two weeks worth of pictures and stay tuned for videos to be posted shortly.
A few weeks ago, Chloe started tugging on her diaper and then running to the bathroom door. We think perhaps its time for potty training!
I absolutely LOVE the denim jacket on Chloe. She’s just too cool with her purple leggings.
And Chloe’s new favorite game is peek-a-boo, or as Chloe would call it “I See”. We can’t seem to get her to say “i see YOU” but you get the gist.
Sebastien is such a happy baby. Always smiling and always happy, we love him and his giggles.
I have no idea WHAT kind of face Sebastien is making on the right, but it’s pretty darn funny ha ha. Nice pic Queenie.
Sebastien is showing such great leg and neck strength that we decided to bring our the jumper early and let him try it out. Big sister Chloe is showing him how it works. She’s going to be a great big sister.
HUGE thank you to Queenie for these two great pictures. We have so FEW pictures of the four of us together so these two are definitely keepers! Love our little family.
