We have a name, finally, at last. Dylan was always Cat's favourite name. It is closest to the Chinese word for little brother - di-di. But also wanted to maintain a family link, so he takes James from his Grandad. So new baby is now Dylan James Yang in English, Yang Chuan Ying in Chinese.
We call him didi all the time now but he may wish to be known as Diddy, Dyls or DJ when he is older, so there are plenty of options. Aimee can say Dylan perfectly, but then she is so fluent now she can say hundreds of words and numbers with no hesitation. It is like her vocabulary has exploded from out of nowhere. Maybe it helps being at home everyday, absorbing all the phrases and commands we utter. Often giving us back as good as she gets.
Sister Sarah is taking over the reins helping out with us this week. She's already proving to be a big hit with Aimee, playing and dancing non-stop (to the point where she refuses to go to bed!) and Diddy sleeps very well in her arms, giving us tired and exhausted Mum and Dad a much needed rest.
But poor diddy is a bit bunged up in the nasal passages making him very snorty and sniffly. I think the central heating disagrees with his sensitive little nose. He also has come out really flakey all over his body. But a bit of olive oil and maybe, his first ever bath will sort that out. The infant acne seems to be appearing in small places, but not as bad as when Aimee had it. Ew, I can barely look at the photos of that time, it gives me goosebumps.
So onward and upward. Many artisans share the name of Dylan, we wonder if he will follow their creative leads.
