Maya nine months

Maya is nine months old (yesterday :) It has been an exhausting week with both of them having sore throats, runny noses and coughs..then of course Ciro and i joined in the fun!!! We seem to be coming out of the woods..went to the Chinese doctor yesterday and after just one dose of meds they both perked up and the nose stopped running so much!! Yay!!
Maya is all over the place crawling now and she pulls herself up on to EVERYTHING!!! She tries to take steps and uses furniture to help her cruise about...especially to get near to Dylan...and i know it sounds unbelievable but if i leave the room she cries..ma ma ma...she points at Ciro and says da..di... and da...in for Dylan..when pointing at him...it freaks me out that she is doing this already but it seems so controlled and it is exactly the same each time!! If you ask where is daddy? She looks at him and points and same for Dylan.She is really keeping us on our toes!!

Double ten day weekend

Last weekend was a long one...Double ten day. The flags were flying all over the city.

We had a quiet weekend. Hit the department stores, went out to Changhua and Huatan to see Karen, Hogie, Josie and Jevin , got a lot of chores done around the house and just relaxed!!!
The weather is starting to cool off a little in the morning and evenings and i guess that is why we have all ended up a little sick....throats, noses and coughs!!!! Change of season bugs!!!
Oh and let me not forget...there was a fire in our apartmetnt building yesterday...the alarm went off and i checked outside the door (they had tested the alarm a month ago..so was not sure if they were doing that again) the hall was filled with smoke...picked up the Intercom, the doorman said to get downstairs and the elevator was okay to use..so grabbed the kids and high tailed it out...fire men everywhere...was down for about 15minutes and they said we could go back. It was contained in that apartment...turned out to be a cigarette left burning when the people went out... Hectic though.

Ciro and Dylan walking in the neighbourhood.
At the park..Maya was not too fond of the prickly grass!!
Little foot...


I realise i have not mentioned the tainted milk scandal in China...it has affected us here as a lot of stuff comes over from China...so at the moment we are off anything with any kind of milk in it...Dylan's dairy allergy means he is okay anyway..those of us who like milk in our coffee are not too happy though!!! Luckily Maya is still breastfeeding and as far as her cereal goes we are buying the European imported brands...cookies too..these are teething biscuits from The States... she finds them absolutely yummy!!!!!

Maya is all over the place and pulling herself up on everything!!!
I just love these pics of Ciro and Dylan taken on his computer...
More when all are recovered from the bugglies

Birthdays and bye bye

Last week was Ciro's birthday...D and I made him a cake. Dylan was super excited and sat in front of the cake for about twenty minutes as we eagerly awaited Ciro coming back from work. The weather is still warm but not the unbearable heat of summer so most of the weekend was spent outdoors.... Dylan rode his bike round the block too (well sat on it and kind of pedalled with a lot of help from mommy:)Finally managed to get the photos to upload!!
Maya is moving all over the place...she is into everything and if you dare remove something from her..a little tantrum follows!! . Maya has been making ba ba sounds for a while...then we noticed she began waving and the sound sounded more like bye bye...today when we dropped them off at school i wanted to show her teacher..so i said bye bye to prompt the imitation...instead of the mimic came floods of tears...this time she did not want to bye bye... Maya saying bye-bye

Maya is pulling herself up on things or people...she really wants to get moving.





Lots of running around and playing with Daddy!



Maya loved going on the slide...did not want to stop.
