Finally..... a new one

Yes, hi, it's been a long long long time since I posted any videos. I actually haven't taken any videos for a long time. But this afternoon Alex was throwing the balloon around and I thought it was cool, so here it is. Enjoy. I will try to take some more videos, but no promises. haha....

You will see that my clock is sitting on a chair.... that's because I haven't hung anything up on the wall yet. heehee....

Chopsticks

I bought Alex a pair of training chopsticks when I was in Hong Kong after seeing all my cousins' kids using them. Thought that they will be fun and interesting for Alex to play with when he eats. So I let him use his new fancy chopsticks for the first time last night during dinner. He absolutely loved them. He got the hang of it right away, such a clever boy. He thought he was so cool to be eating with chopsticks. And he ate fast and quite a bit. Well, we will see how long it takes before the novelty of using chopsticks fades and he goes back to his normal eating mode. But it's just so cool watching him use chopsticks. So I recorded a bit of it to share with you.

Random videos

Hi, here are some videos of Alex's day to day life. I just find it handy to record little moments with my handy little video camera. A very useful present. Heehee...

First two were taken when Alex visited his buddy William. Grandpa Kruse, take note, Alex wants one of those fancy big touch screen monitor to play with. It's just like if you were to split two monitors to one computer, only that one monitor is a fancy touch screen one. The kids really have a blast with it. William's dad also downloaded some cartoons and put the icons on desktop, the kids click and play the videos on their own too. They are so clever.




Here Alex and William were just being silly with the chair.




One day Alex woke up from his nap cranky, didn't want to eat or do anything but pout. So he pouted on the floor for a long time, but at the same time he's doing his leg lift exercise. He's funny.




Alex tried to peel a banana by himself. Had a little fight with the banana. Who won? Banana did.




Here Alex vacuumed with mommy. Well, look more like fighting of the vacuums.




What's the best way to catch fish? Alex will show you. And you will have to say, "bite it" very slowly so you don't scare the fish away.




Trains are all lined up. Where are they going?

Giant Snowman

Here are some videos from when we built those giant snowman on the field right outside our house. We had a lovely snowman building afternoon with the neighbor kids. Alex loves the snow. Too bad it's all gone now. The snow and coldest winter in 30 years has caused lots of problems throughout England. The area we live in didn't get it too bad though. We did enjoy the snow very much.

Friend's birthday party

. That should fix the problem.

lots of videos

So yes, like my cake blog, I haven't been updating it. I've been busy. heehee..... The holiday season is over and I can stop stressing and doing normal things in life again. So now here are a few videos from the past week or two.

First two, we have this chips over here in England called Hula Hoops. They are just the right size to put on little ones' fingers. Here Alex will show you how to eat them hoops. He kept thinking that I was taking pictures, so you will see that he says "cheese" sometimes. Silly baby.







I was decorating cake with fondant and Alex wanted to see what I was doing on the counter so I put him on the chair. He thought it was playdoh I was playing with. He found my cutters and roll away. Also dumped out a little cup of cornstarch so he's messy all over. He had fun though.




Alex thought it would be super cool and fun to spread coupons all over the house while I was sorting out coupons. What a monkey he is!!





This morning we went out back to play for a little bit. Played with the remote controlled car Jonny gave Alex but found that it's not very good at all on ice or snow. We need a 4 wheel drive RC car next time. And then we found a ball and Alex want to throw it down the slide and go down the snow/ice covered slide himself.











These are us building a gingerbread house on Christmas day. The frosting that came with it was so thick we couldn't spread it or do anything with it. It was a disaster house.











Fake crying for whatever reason.





Playing with his Lego Thomas on a Thomas floor puzzle. Pay attention, see what he does with the wipes. It's funny.



Well, I was going to upload a couple more but those video size are too big. But I figure you should have a enough dose of Alex from the above videos. Have a lovely day.

Snow Day

These are the actions from our fun morning in the snow.

Party Time

It's party time and Alex is having a blast with the blowout. Very good at it in fact. What a clever boy!!

Thomas Time

Our little snowman chasing bubbles and Thomas. He had lots of fun.

cookie decorating

It's Sunday so we are in pajamas all day, but that doesn't mean that we are lazy. In fact, we were quite busy today. Alex decorated the Christmas sugar cookies this afternoon. He's quite good at it. They may not be the best looking cookies but I assure you they are delicious.

little helper

Alex helps mommy smash up some candy canes to make cookies. No, nothing or nobody was hurt during this recording.

Big Collection

Hi, yes, I have been slacking on posting videos. So here are a few from the past month or so. Enjoy.

Puddle Up

Rained all day yesterday, Alex wanted to play in the puddles after he came home from nursery. I put some bubble liquid in the puddle so that's why there's bubbles in the puddle. Couldn't find his new raincoat until the end though. Well, it wasn't raining hard. He had a blast and his pants got soaked.

Tiny Tumblers Playgroup

My mom went with us to Tiny Tumblers playgroup and took a few videos of Alex in action. Enjoy. He is quite a monkey. Still doesn't like the bouncy castle though. , or jump. Need to work on those yet.

On Holiday

Hiya, we came back from our holiday this week. Didn't really do a whole lot. Alex has a bit of a cold plus his sleeping is off, so it was a lazy and relaxing week. We had nice weather all week except one day. Very lucky indeed especially for the end of September.

Alex is the laziest 2-year-old. Most kids won't let you carry them, but Alex likes being carried instead of walking on his own. These 2 videos show him throwing a fit coz he didn't want to walk.







Playing mini golf. It's a super crappy course but oh well. It's something new for Alex.







He's a pro at eating ice cream.




Playing skeet ball.




He's doing it again. This time, at Brighton Pier.

Something Random

Hi, the first two are pretty self-explanatory, painting and destroying stuff.

The third video, well, we were walking home from the store and he stopped at the field by our house, picked up a stick and started doing what you see in the video. I am not entirely sure what he's doing, perhaps he's pretending the stick is a gun? I have no idea, but it's funny. He did that for over 15 minutes, no lie, I ended up sitting down, ate his snack while at it, to wait for him to finish.

Last one, he was being a big boy, eating a whole juicy pear on his own. Yum!!

We are off to holiday for a few days tomorrow, so I am sure we will have more videos to share when we come back. Bye.

birthday

Here are a few videos relate to Alex's birthday. Can't believe little dude is 2 already!!

First one is Alex decorating the goodies bags for his party with stickers.





This one here Alex playing sand with his friend, William.





Two from playing bubbles with other kids at the BBQ on Saturday. He's getting pretty good at blowing bubbles now.

Captain Hook

Don't know where he's seen or learned it from... He made himself a pirate hook thing with some puzzle pieces. He's funny.

Alex the wrestler

Don't know where he got it from, but when I handed him a stuff animal dog to play with, he decided to lay on it. He did that for a while and then I brought down the big gorilla to see what he would do. He attacked the gorilla too. What a nut!!

Play in the Garden

Just doing his things out in the garden. He saw daddy moving big jug of water on his head early, so he copied daddy and moved rocks on his head. Crazy guy.





And here's just him playing in the sand table. He likes to watch sand falling out from the bottom of the little pots.
