avoiding the mother's day rush

Well, it's hard to believe I haven't posted for two weeks - it seems like just yesterday.

We've been busy and the camera is in the repair shop! Ick.

Ivo is awesome - he says and sings all the time. With only 10 hours/week in babycare - 4 of them spent napping - he has picked up as much Chinese as English. He says "mei yo" and "bu yao" which mean - "no have" and "no want". He uses them all the time; he can't find something, there isn't any, "mei yo". Bu yao is a softer "no" - which he doesn't say yet. He does say 'mama' and mean me - which is so heart-fillingly sweet. He seems to call Ryan, "dada" - which he made up by himself because we call Ryan "papa" - so maybe it's an innate name.

This is a pic taken by Supah-Sho from the wedding - you can see the bride and her father behind Ivo.
