chinese museum

Hugh had a great time at the Chinese Museum in Melbourne.

Posing with some new friends he made...

melbourne aquarium

Looking for Nemo.

puffing billy

All aboard!



Sitting patiently with Nana waiting for Billy to puff away.


Getting a better view standing on the rail.

corn, yummy corn!

Does he love corn or does he love corn?

all good things come to an end

It's usually very difficult for him to leave the pool but today's was extremely painful :(

just keep swimming

He's loving his independence in the water now.

on the phone with nana

He loves chatting on the phone with Nana; frequently points to the phone and says, "Nana". This is what his side of the conversation sounds like.

second skin

Hugh got this backpack from the Roses and wears it around the house all day!






We contemplated buying it for him just the day before but decided it was too big. Just as well he got it as a belated Christmas present.

pretend train conductor

Daddy's treadmill can double up as a train as conductor Hugh operates it more than Daddy uses it.

something like singing

Still enjoys this first gift from Grandma...

up in the air

The boy loves being thrown up in the air and asks for it again and again!

wushu

Hugh saw the Wushu performance on TV and immediately picked up his word to imitate :)

sydney aquarium

Walking to the aquarium hand-in-hand with Rivers.


Posing with lego brick sailor.


"Wow, shark!" is Hugh's favourite expression at his favourite exhibit in the aquarium. This is a mechanical Great White which is as life-like as it gets!


Lego brick Great White that's 21 feet long and over 650kg. It took a little under 1,000 hours to build.


Lego brick diver.


Goofing around in the tunnel.


Watching the Dugong snacking.

doodling

At the stage where he loves to get creative. He draws things and makes Mummy guess what they are!

pre-dinner activity

During the weekend when the weather's nice, Daddy gets the BBQ going.

Tonight Hugh entertains himself with the crayola set from Aunty Peita while dinner is being cooked.

using chopsticks

He looks quite comfortable with the chopsticks :)

First he eats fish fingers with them...


... next, popcorn...hehe!

new goggles

Hugh has his first pair of goggles and is all ready for the pool... except the weather has been unkind :(

thomas collection

Today marks his 28 months with us and Hugh already has quite a nice collection of Thomas the Tank Engines.

naked chef

On new year's day, a half-naked chef cooks up a storm in his kitchen...







... and serves Mummy this delicious plate of chicken ^_^











Followed by a cup of "kopi"
