Hong Kong Trip Part I – Sunday – Wednesday morning

Jet lag? Need time to adjust to new surroundings?

Hong Kong Part 1 1

Aiden seems to be doing pretty well on the surface.

Hong Kong Part 1 2

There are a few set backs, but overall Aiden did well on the flight and loves his temporary home.

Hong Kong Part 1 3

Grandpa and Grandma has prepared everything for the three of us.

Hong Kong Part 1 4

Grandma made Aiden banana muffin, and there are plenty of fruit.

Hong Kong Part 1 5

But for some reason he didn’t like the kiwi.

Hong Kong Part 1 6

He’s already learned after falling once that there is a step down to go to the kitchen.

Hong Kong Part 1 7

Auntie Cindy let us borrow Emma’s rubber duckie bath, which is perfect since Aiden went to see the Giant Duck Duck.

Hong Kong Part 1 8

Daddie even dressed Aiden to match the special event.

Hong Kong Part 1 9

But Giant Duck Duck didn’t fascinate Aiden too much.

Hong Kong Part 1 10

Our rare family picture (that’s probably why it looks so awkward)

Hong Kong Part 1 11

We are so lucky because the next night Duckie was hurt (lose air)

Hong Kong Part 1 12

Daddie was more intrigued in the Giant Duck than Aiden.

Hong Kong Part 1 13

Aiden was more intrigued with these tiny ducks.

Hong Kong Part 1 14

So many people surround these plastic ducks.

Hong Kong Part 1 15

So many around to meet the demands of all the people.

Hong Kong Part 1 16

Aiden was just cruising around, more interested in the kids that played there.

Hong Kong Part 1 17

Leaning against Duck Duck when he felt tired.

Hong Kong Part 1 18

Daddie said that it is obvious how ABC Aiden is after coming back.

Hong Kong Part 1 19

Is it because he is so super friendly?

Hong Kong Part 1 20

…when he’s not acting cool that is.

Hong Kong Part 1 21

Maybe it’s his haircut.. too harsh?

Hong Kong Part 1 22

I think the other toddlers and babies have frazzled hair that sticks up.

Hong Kong Part 1 23

Daddie couldn’t put anything concrete to back up his statement.

Hong Kong Part 1 24

So if anybody knows, please do tell!

Hong Kong Part 1 25

Anyhow, it was explore time for Aiden.

Hong Kong Part 1 26

Not just the ducks but he wanted to go here and there.

Hong Kong Part 1 27

Mommie? Mommie had to go chase Aiden down of course!

Hong Kong Part 1 28

But most of the time Aiden was good and let Mommie hold his hands.

Hong Kong Part 1 29

If not he had to spend time fending off being held.

Hong Kong Part 1 30

He’s never been so free before in the States!

Hong Kong Part 1 31

A little bit ironic, isn’t it?

Hong Kong Part 1 32

But I guess he’s experienced so much in this short amount of time!

Hong Kong Part 1 33

Going on the plane, bus, trolley, ferry, tram….

Hong Kong Part 1 34

Not being tied down at a restaurant.

Hong Kong Part 1 35

Taking the elevator.

Hong Kong Part 1 36

When Daddie went to get his refund money, we let Aiden stand on the elevator on his own.

Hong Kong Part 1 37

When the door opened (not on the right floor) he ran out the door.

Hong Kong Part 1 38

Lucky the neighbor was kind enough to bring him back inside.

Hong Kong Part 1 39

He’s also having the worse meals ever!

Hong Kong Part 1 40

Basically bread is what’s keeping his body going.

Hong Kong Part 1 41

Yes, Mommie is waiting for him to get back onto his normal routine.

Hong Kong Part 1 42

He hasn’t gotten used to the milk here either, so Dr. Wong will not be happy!

Hong Kong Part 1 43

One morning Grandpa had to go out to get Aiden prune juice!  Thanks Grandpa!

Hong Kong Part 1 44

The places that we eat at just don’t seem to have anything that he likes or can eat.

Hong Kong Part 1 45

Now Aiden can say duck and 鴨.

Hong Kong Part 1 46

Aiden and Grandpa/Grandma got along well quickly of course.

Hong Kong Part 1 47

Aiden definitely doesn’t have stranger phobia.

Hong Kong Part 1 48

He was quick to like 表姑媽!

Hong Kong Part 1 49

She’s got many cool things on her and is fun to play with!

Hong Kong Part 1 50

He will miss them so much when we go back (this was seriously what Mommie spend a day feeling sad about)

Hong Kong Part 1 51

Going out all the time, his sleeping schedule during the day is out of whack.

Hong Kong Part 1 52

So sometimes he’s extra fussy and grumpy.

Hong Kong Part 1 53

At first Aiden was scared to play with the dog, 菲菲.

Hong Kong Part 1 54

But it wasn’t long until he forgot, and it was 菲菲’s time to be scared.

Hong Kong Part 1 55

But nobody was more scared than Mommie.  But the food was very good.  Thank you Auntie Shirley.

Hong Kong Part 1 56

Last minute we decided to go to 山頂.

Hong Kong Part 1 57

Aiden kept waving to the surrounding people who were waiting for the tram.

Hong Kong Part 1 58

Aiden is already sleepy but it’s just so much fun he doesn’t want to miss out.

Hong Kong Part 1 59

But the small bounces going up the mountain, he couldn’t help but conk out.

Hong Kong Part 1 60

He missed the scene from the tram, but will make it up later on.

Hong Kong Part 1 61

As his nap was short.

Hong Kong Part 1 62

He did a lot of walking today.

Hong Kong Part 1 63

Mommie was a little over protective and afraid he would hurt himself.

Hong Kong Part 1 64

He fell twice and had a few scratches and Mommie had enough.

Hong Kong Part 1 65

Thinking back now, I probably should have just let him keep going.

Hong Kong Part 1 66

He wasn’t very cooperative either.

Hong Kong Part 1 67

Most of the time he didn’t want anyone to hold his hands.

Hong Kong Part 1 68

He kept walking at a slant and would slowly walk towards the mountain.

Hong Kong Part 1 69

One time almost hitting his head.

Hong Kong Part 1 70

Nor did he want to put on his hat.

Hong Kong Part 1 71

I think Aiden is ready for short trails!

Hong Kong Part 1 72

Let’s get him ready for an active, healthy life!

Hong Kong Part 1 73

I think he walked a good half mile?

Hong Kong Part 1 74

Slope or no slope, he wanted to go on!

Hong Kong Part 1 75

The sweat didn’t and heat didn’t bother him.

Hong Kong Part 1 76

Next stop: Taiwan!
