Summer video


In a few weeks Summer will be one year old. Compared to her brother, Summer has less photos and videos because she needs to fight for our time with her brother. I shot this video in a morning when my son went to the market with Allie and my mom. Summer stayed home with me, so I grab my phone and took this rare chance.

Lovely Son

This story is a little long, so I need to explain some background info first. Recently I have a lot of late-night conference calls, so I have very little time with my son before he goes to bed. Most of the time Allie plays with him to distract him, and he became very insecure and often rushes into our room at nights to find Allie.

This morning Allie went to work early. When my son rushed into our room and found that mom was not home, he began to cry out loud in anger and frustration. I talked to him and played with him for about 30 minutes until finally he was cheered up.

Then, I told him that I need to drive my car for maintenance, he begged me to wait until he finished his morning bottle of milk, which I agreed. When I picked up my bag after he finished his milk, he begged to go with me. I said the car was too dangerous until it is repaired, and then I left.

in the evening, he called my cell phone and asked me if my car was repaired already. He asked me to drive home quickly. I said I will try to get home early but I could not drive too fast because there were many cars on the road. He said, "But I miss you so much! Please drive faster!" He is so sweet when he is not angry! I hope these late calls will stop soon.

Summer 11 months old

Little Summer is now 11 months old. She has five teeth, learning to speak and walk. I'm sorry that I did not take as such pictures for her as for her brother, and she needs to fight for attention since she was born. However, I think she will soon enjoy playing with her brother once she can walk and talk better.
