Adrian turned four this year and continues to be the empathetic, observant, funny, generous, and brave boy that Victoria and I have always wanted. He has a smile that lights up the room, is loved by everybody around him, and is a good big brother to Avery. We could not have asked for a better boy.

From left-to-right, these photos captured Adrian's year.

2021 was the year of Paw Patrol for Adrian. His attention shifts between toys rapidly but Paw Patrol had great staying power throughout the year.
Adrian loves dressing up and loves to lead his brother in superhero adventures
Love watching Adrian interact with Chewie. This year he's taken more of an interest in interacting with Chewbear, even insisting on walking him.
A huge highlight of this year was when his maternal grandparents came to visit the United States from Taiwan. It's amazing what a deep connection Adrian has with them even though he doesn't see them as often.
Adrian learned how to swim this year. Though he was originally terrified, he conquered his fears and loves swimming now.
He also learned to play soccer this year, and was on the same team as his best friend Tristan.
We love how Adrian is so uninhibited about posing for the camera. He has an amazing assortment of superhero poses.
Adrian returned to Pre-K this year despite being out for a year due to the pandemic. He is consistent about his career goals to become a zombie.
Adrian's paternal grandparents taking him out for Halloween. He was dressed up as Spider-Man this year.
