It was almost as if Ian was the one marrying on that wedding day. Almost. At least that was how mom felt during that day, woke up feeling exceptionally exciting, dressed up little Ian with tux, gelled hair and shinny "batu" shoe...and arriving at the church 1/2 hour earlier than the bridal party! (All the time dad was too busy and nervous with the job of wedding photographer and missed that oh-my-god-my-son-is-walking-the-aisle feeling...)
Since most of our friends are around the "marrying age", we are hoping that Ian will be able to "walk the aisle" a few more times, hopefully slowly being "promoted" from a 花童 a.k.a. "flower boy" to the ultimate - THE RING BEARER!! ROARRR!!
Here are the pics and video:
Grand Arrival...
In Awe...
Walking the aisle with none other than
Pricess Meredith :)
They held hands and walked the aisle slowly. Very slowly. And very often stopped for the audiences' cameras...
And here's the video clip taken by mom...who was standing at the end of the aisle and kept waving frantically for little Ian to walk forward. You can tell how excited and nervous was the mom by the shaky video.
He is very musically inclined, since 8 months, he has been dancing and moving his body when he hears songs that he likes. His dancing style has evolved with time. His latest, swaying his body from side to side while clapping his hands. His tempo is quite impressive at his age. He moves his body according to the beat of the songs. He sings to songs that he likes. He knows exactly which kind of music he likes- jazzy music, rock music and fast music. He does not like classical. I guess he takes after CS and I, we both prefers jazz and rock than classical. He plays the drum and piano with style. He is also quite good with the harmonica.
He is very curious – he sticks his nose into everything that we do.
He is neat (takes after me) and likes to be clean – He will pick up pieces of food scattered on the table to put into his bowl. When he is done with his sippy cup or a toy, he will set it down instead of just throwing it on the floor.
He is pretty attentive and obedient because he can follow our instructions if we keep repeating ourselves and put lots of emphasis on certain things.
He is careful if we warn him that certain things are dangerous.
He is very active and does not stay still at one place for a long time. He gets bored doing the same thing for a long time. I am tired just looking at him exerting all the energy all day long.
His favorite thing since 1 year old, wheels, gears, other round mechanical parts. Just like a boy, he likes cars, trucks, air planes, train, dolly, cart, trash can and anything with wheels.
He is displaying signs of being left-hander (takes after me, yet again, yay!)
