First Bike

Ryan, if you ever wonder what you first bike looked like when you are older... here it is.

It's an orange tricycle that is designed in Germany and comes with a handle which can be steered by the person that's pushing you. You love riding on it... not that you can cycle yet... but you love being pushed around on it.

Bethells Beach

It was a really nice sunny day and we decided to take Ryan to Bethells Beach. It was his first time going to the beach. We should have already taken him but we did not get the opportunity. It was really hard work. We (or rather Ashley) had to carry him from the carpark to the beach and the sand was scorching hot and then there were all the cleaning up after - him and everything else but he really enjoyed himself so that was all worth it.

He didn't go in the water. We just put his feet in it when the waves came in. However, we did put him on the sand and he loved it. He was just sitting there playing and got sand all over himself. He was so tired after that he fell asleep within 5 minutes of being in the car.

Here are some photos of him playing on the sand.

Year of the Rat

For those of you that celebrate Chinese New Year, Kung Hei Fatt Choi. We wish you and your family a happy and prosperous year of the rat.

It's actually Ryan's 2nd Chinese New Year. There's finally something on this blog that is not Ryan's first :) Anyway, it was just a normal day for us. Ryan still went to Daycare. The only thing that was different was Ryan's trip to the dentist.

Yes, he went to the dentist on the first day of Chinese New Year :) She didn't do much though. She was trying to make him smile so she could look at his teeth but this is Ryan we are talking about. Those that have met him would know that he doesn't normally smile at strangers. Anyway, he started to cry and that was when she managed to look at his teeth. By the way, he has 8 teeth now and we have both been bitten by them!

Back to CNY... as with tradition, we went to my parents' place to wish them and get our angpows hehehe. We put Ryan in his Wong Fei Hoong outfit which my mum bought for him when she was in Hong Kong last year. Luckily it still fits... just... but it was too difficult to do the Chinese buttons up. We took some photos before we left the house. Isn't he handsome in the outfit? :)

Birthday Party

Ryan has just turned one... well, not exactly. There is still one day to go but we had a party for him today to celebrate. He was a very good boy throughout the whole time. We had quite a few people here and he was very well behave. As with Xmas, I had to open his presents for him and there were quite a bit of them too (more mess in the house).

The cake we got for him was of a drum which is his favourite toy at Daycare. For those who read the Xmas post, you will know that we bought one for him for Xmas as well. It was his favourite toy until he started moving and get to things that he is not allow to.

Thanks to everyone who came and helped made this party a success. We had a great time and hope you enjoyed yourselves as well.

Here are some photos of the day.
