A Few New Aston Phrases:
oh shoot, Here he is, Mommy and Daddy, Mei Mei’s crying, ABC…EF, “Not in my town” (from CARS the movie), I so fast, Mommy come here, it dark in here, over there, in there, that way, cold out there, “R U” Daddy (Where are you? Courtesy of his friend Kate), BB’s House, I did it, I fixed it, Daddy fixed it, Mommy get it…Mommy sit down, excuse me (and uses it correctly when he would like you to move out of his way)
New Chinese Words:
Mei Mei (little sister), Not really new but find it funny that Aston chooses to count in Chinese more than English. “yi, er, san”New Favorite Foods:peanut butter on rice cakes, gummie bears (“gummies”)
Rascal Traits:
-The screaming NO NO NO has gotten worse
-The going limp has gotten worse
-The hitting/kicking/pushing has gotten worse
-Overall his frustrations are finding their way to the surface in many ways and it’s our job to keep them as under control as we can now so that it doesn’t get worse later. It’s the toughest parenting issue we’ve faced so far
Other Notables this Month:
-Overall this has been a really big month for Aston verbally. He is able to articulate complete stories and real life happenings through the use of his famously dramatic jesters and his new found ability to string multiple words together. Each night at the dinner table we try to explain to Daddy what happened while he was away at work. He is SOOO into recounting our day and explaining it in his own toddler way. Amazing for us parents to watch.
-He LOVES his sister and it is true love. Asks for her when he wakes up every morning and says “Mei Mei Kiss” or “Mei Mei Hug”. Of course he can’t control his strength or his frustrations quite yet so sometimes we get some undesirable “love bites” or “love hits” but all in all he has been super with her.

aww i would love to be a fly on the wall during those dinner conversations! go asty with all the new words/phrases/sentences! hang in there about the rascally traits. you're right parenting's really starting to kick in! sweet sweet picture
This is my favourite photo!!! Together they are so so so cute!
note: when Aston is reminded to make a big kissing noise when he kisses Stellyn he is unable to bite her while his mouth is puckered instead of being wide opened and ready to chomp down.
As for milestones (this actually started many ? months ago) - Aston shows his apppreciation for different types of music by different reactions. When he hears contemporary music with a good beat he bobs his head up and down and dances if he can. When he listens to classical music (ususally in our car) his head sways from side to side with the music and sometimes taps his fingers on his knees. It is so cute to watch.
