Life according to my iPhone: May 2014

Good God! How is it June already? And where did half the year go? 
May has been amazing! And my baby has been on a learning streak! I couldn't be more proud of him! After so many days worry and stressing about his development, he's picking up thing real FAST! As soon as he turned 2, he learned the alphabets. Then numbers! He's even started counting up to 20 recently! I didn't even teach him~ We taught him 1-10 but nothing more than that! He also knows his shapes (square, triangle, circle, rectangle, oval, heart, diamond)! And just this past week and a half he picked up colors (red, orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, pink, black, and white)! And it literally took me 5 minutes to teach! It's amazing! I've now started to combine both colors and shapes/number/alphabets to the mix! Oh, and he's starting to put 2 words together! He still doesn't use his words on his own but i'm sure we'll get there soon! He's been chatting up a storm lately~ just babbling. And singing! I've noticed singing helps. He LOVES singing ABC~ lol. He skips a few letters here and there but he know the melody. It's so cute! I just want to remember all the times he's sitting in the cart at Target and just busting out his ABCs out loud! :)
But anyways, to recap May... We were busy visiting Grandma in VA and spent a few hours in VA beach (hated the water..guess the tides were too big for him and got scared), also spent my 1st Mother's day with her and went to church with her that day, my lil sister helped me shoot some maternity/family pics (thank you, thank you!), celebrated my niece, Chloe's 3rd birthday (time flies to damn fast~), Max got his 1st pair of Crocs (man~ they're pricey O.O), gave Max his 1st, well 2nd haircut..by me! His hair grows too fast and kids cut ain't cheap~ it adds up, so i gave it another go at it and i must say, i'm not too bad! Lol. I also had my glucose test and passed! And Max's favorite book this month is Little Lost Owl... we read it SOOOO many times! He's even memorized the story. And actually that's the book that helped him put 2 words together. It's about a little owl looking for his Mama. So he'll point at the animal and say "this a mama?" and i reply, "is that his mama?".. Max shakes his head and giggles, "Noooo~"I say "who is it?" And he'll point and say "it's a bear!" Or rabbit, etc. Very cute. I'd definitely add this book to your library! It's short, but fun, and has cute illustrations! 
I think that's about it! I'll try and keep up with blogging~ I just want to write down and keep track of everything this busy boy is getting into lately! 

Hey June, i'm ready for more learning and ice cream! Hehe!

21 month update and a day with Max

Hard to believe he is 21 months and soon he'll be 2?! He's definitely looking more and more like a big boy and the baby seems to be fading away. He's definitely understanding us more and trying to communicate his needs and wants. Still no talking but he sure does babble more! He does say a few words. "Umma" (mom in Korean), but i don't think he understands it yet. he just knows how to say it...lol. "Help"(sounds more like "hap"), he uses that word for everything...i think he kind of know what it means... he even comes up to me and grab my hand and takes me to whatever he wants help with. He recently learned to say "open". He says "oh" and then pen, it gets a lil lazy and he slurs it..at least he's trying! But one word he has down..."uh oh"! That's the only word that i know he knows the meaning to and says it correctly. It so cute when he says it. Probably won't be that cute when he gets older tho ;D

Max also likes to j u m p~! He's been trying for a few months now but he can actually lift himself off the floor now! Not that high yet~~he's still working on it :) Oh and last month he started putting the phone to his ear and yapping away~ he does that more and more now whenever he gets a hold of a toy phone or our cell. Oh yea. And he attached to me. Which is good and bad~ good cause i feel special..(muhehehe) and bad cause i can't get any work done or leave him with anyone. He even comes up to me look up at me and says "up" (op), so that i'll lift him up and hold him. <3 p="">

Oh Max, please stay little a little while longer! Don't grow up too fast! Mommy is not ready for it yet! :)
And out of all the toys, he choose to play with my felt balls that i haven't strung up yet. He likes to hide them in his drawer for some reason. lol. Just another fun day for Max~!

Gotta love a good deal

Guess what? We got a new stroller. *Big deal* Not only did i get a new stroller, but it was THE stroller i was looking for and this mama got really lucky finding one on craigslist! Yup. My first craigslist purchase! I've been googling this stroller for a couple months and i have been stalking craigslist hoping someone might list it. And BAM. On Sunday evening i went to search for it, and there it was. I had to blink a few times to make sure i wasn't dreaming... The 2013 Uppababy G-Luxe umbrella stroller. In the color i wanted. Brand new. AND with a brand new travel bag. ANDDDD i paid less then the retail price (of the stroller..i basically got the travel bag for free)! :D
I actually needed both stroller and the travel bag for our trip in October. And this stroller is back ordered everywhere! I'm so happy! But of course my husband isn't..he always know how to bring a girl down. Just wait until he gets used to it. He'll complain at first but he's gonna love it later! 
So far Max and i love it! We used it at the mall yesterday and it was a smooth ride! I'll review this stroller when i get more use. And after i come back from travel! :)
At least for now my back can get a little break. I have no problem with my Vista (i love it). I admit, it is a bit heavy. But with Max getting bigger and heavier...my back really does ache. 
Anyway.... wahooooo! i love a good deal!

Max's Favorites: Part Two




I always take these when i'm on the go! Except for the plates, of course~

1. Skip Hop Insulated Lunch Bag- Max is now drinking whole milk so this insulated lunch bag is perfect to keep his milk cool! Plus, they are really cute! ;D They have a whole bunch of different zoo pals.
2. Tommee Tippee Explora lil' Sippee Flip Top Straw Cup- I've tried other sippy cups with a straw, but Max will only drink from this one. So the transition from a regular sippy cup to a straw was easy! The straw is thick and soft and easy for him to drink from. And it has a flip top too! 
3. Plum Organics Tots Mish Mash Fruit Snacks- Max can gulp this down in 2 seconds! He loves these! And they are a perfect snack sized pouch!
4. Lifefactory Glass Bottle w/ Silicone Sleeve- I love the fun colors and the silicone sleeve provides a good grip! It is also BPA, Phthalates, Polycarbonates, and PVC free. We also got the Y cut nipples for the fastest flow. 
5. Re-Play 3 Count Divided Plates- I'm starting to feed Max more finger foods, and i just love this simple divided plate! It comes in 3 fun colors too! And it made from recycled milk jugs~ how cool is that? We do a lot of recycling here at our house, so it's pretty neat when you see some of the stuff they make from it! :D

Citrus Lane: February Box

Max and i look forward to our Citrus Lane box every month! Every month i constantly track my package and be on the look out for the mailman~ lil obsessive, i know.. lol.
This months box theme was music! We got the tambourine~ oh what fun! 
We also got another book! We got so much from his birthday, he can probably open up a library. Then we got tooth gel! I was actually gonna look into getting him some since he won't let us stick our fingers in his mouth to clean his teeth, can't wait to try it out! Oh and antibacterial wipes and a lip balm for mommy! Both of which i need in my diaper bag, for sure! If you know me or see me all the time, you know i have the worse chapped lips evarrrr. It's so bad. Always chapped or cracked (ack). I get it from my mom -_- yay..
Oh, and off topic.. i'm so glad i bought this pants today at Gap while at the mall! He leaked out of his diapers today and went to go change him in the bathroom, which is already hard enough since he won't stay still for it..i go take his diapers off...and there he went... all over the changing table and down his legs. ugh. That was fun to clean~ yep. This is what my life has come to.. just glad it wasn't number 2!
Anyways, pants..good buy today! whew!
