First sentence

Paul has spoken his first sentence today. He was watching two other children being fed, and he said: "Ma - Yao chi.". To translate into English, he said " Ma, I want to eat."
This little boy is just so smart and developmentally on track.. He was walking before he was even one year old. Now he is just over one, and he has started to string words together and make sentences! He really enjoys good food too - so it is totally appropriate that his first sentence was about food.

We have speculated that Paul might take up a career in engineering, or become a rock star. But perhaps he will be the next great TV chef. He has that winning combination of good looks, engaging personality and an appreciation for fine food. Look out, Jamie Oliver - Paul might be after your job!
Of course, we can't begin to imagine what Paul's future will actually look like, but we do know for sure that this little guy is full of potential. We can't wait to see what he will achieve as he grows up. And we are already so blessed to see what he is achieving right now!

I just LOVE this boy! We are hoping we might be able to adopt him when he is placed on the list!
