Hello Spring Weather!

It's starting to feel like Spring! We've been having amazing weather since the weekend! Crazy to think it was just snowing and crazy cold last week! And others might have a problem adjusting to daylights saving, but i'm loving it! I've been waiting for the day we get more light and go out to play after max's nap! It's always dark when he wakes up so we just stay in and have nothing to do at home~ so happy i can take him outside now! He's happy too! He's been waiting for the day i let him out and run..when i opened the garage door he slowly stepped out to the driveway and looked back at me like "i can go and play"? type of look~ cause usually i say no since it's too cold out to play...hehe. And it's so nice w a l k i n g with him..just holding my hand. No stroller to depend on. Last year he wouldn't hold my hand and would just run (almost ran to the street too O.O). So i'd have to strap him in until we got to the playground.

We stayed at the playground for an hour. Lots of other kids in the neighborhood was out to play too! I guess it's a stay at home mom's paradise~ lol. It was finally good to be out and take in the nice weather~ more days like this please! :)

Time to nap...

Nap time? No Mommy, I don't feel like napping.

Let's P L A Y!

...after 20 mins of ripping book cover, throwing balloons, running around (not pictured~hehe)...

Okay Mommy. I'm getting sleepy. But I don't want to sleep on my bed.....zzzzzzzzzzzz.

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~!

Lately.

So... i missed a whole month of blogging... BOO. The 1st of October we left to go on our first big trip! We went to Singapore for a few days and then to Myanmar for a couple weeks! It was an adventure! 2 different country and so different! Singapore was beautiful and CLEAN. And Myanmar was the total opposite. Dirty and dusty. But still a beautiful country to explore. One thing they had in common.. very humid! 

I had an awesome time there and wish i could share stories and pics but there are wayyyyy too many! I'm so happy to be back tho! We made it back right before Halloween! I knew i didn't want to miss out on that! And I finally got Max back on his regular sleeping schedule. Woohoo!

Back to reality! anddddd blogging! :)

The everything recap.

September is getting a little hectic. Shoot after shoot. Which means lots of editing to catch up on and out the door in a timely matter. We are so grateful for the love and business! It really is amazing how things just work out in the end. So if any of my client is reading this... Thank You~!

This month is starting off pretty amazingly! And i'm loving the cooler temperature! Not quite sweater weather but it's definitely nice feeling the heat cool down! Oh and little man turned 19 month 5 days ago~ *sigh* still can't believe how fast time is flying~ he learned so much in the past month! He is now FINALLY pointing! He can also kind of say a few words.. 'Ma (mama), uh oh, eeee (cheese), oup (out).. lol! He signs please and more. And little man is very attached to his mama! He chooses his mama over daddy every time! Hehe. I'm so glad he is now able to point, clap, and wave! Those were the few things we were concerned about! Better late than never, Max! Geez.  

Oh. And i have a new goal from now on. TAKE SOME DAMN PICTURES...with a camera and not so much with my iphone. It's just so easy with the phone, but i don't want all his pics to be from a cellphone...I'm going to try and carry my camera with me more often. Since he is getting bigger, i carry a little less in the diaper bag now, so i have no excuse! I document other families but my own...how sad. I just kept thinking about how i was barely in any pics this year....( husband doesn't pick up the camera :T ) And we don't even have candid family shots or anything from all the events and outings this summer! -_- I'm going to try harder to document my family photos as well as i document others.

Life according to my iPhone: August 2013

Another month gone in a flash~ And what a month it was! We started the month going to speech therapy, meh..might stop going..seems like all they do is just play with him for 45 mins., bad boy is getting badder~~~ lots of family time, another visit to the e.r. for dislocated elbow xT, took lil man to watch his 1st movie at the movie theatre, port discovery and learning to walk up & down the stairs, take pics and apply for passport, turned 18 months, went on his first trip to the aquarium, first trip to chuck.e.cheese, puffy paint play date, visit Arundel Mills new play area, signed up for gymboree, purchased a umbrella stroller, said goodbye to grandparents, and recently started to sign 'please', taps his head when we ask 'where's Max?', andddddddd a few days ago he said his first words! Well, not really talk, talk... but his first word was 'uh oh' and 'mam' :D He is learning a lot more and is giving more eye contact! He's also getting attached to his mama <3 hehe.="" p="">

Goodbye, summer! Hello, fall! :D It was fun... but i'm definitely ready for some awesome weather, sweaters, apple picking, and football!
