8 and 9 days

Alex is 9 days old today. He was a 10 pounds baby!! My milk couldn’t catch up to his appetite so I am giving him little bit of formula by finger feeding. Then, of course he needs to do burp. I love his burping face, looks like a monkey man 🙂  And then he is having a good relaxing time before his workout called tummy time. Our pediatrician suggested us to give him 1 or 2 minutes of tummy time to build up his neck strength. Of course, he doesn’t like it, but I love to watch him to try to hold his neck up. Today, grandpa visited us and gave the first hug to Alex. Grandpa said he will teach math, games, and some ball game and tell stories… I can’t wait to see that time…..   🙂

This year our roses are so wonderful. Red, pink, orange… all of them are blooming. Each day, there is a new blossom.  We planted lettuces, chili peppers, and tomatoes this year. In particular, the lettuces looks so healthy. Um~~ pretty soon, we will taste them as salad, wrap, and lettuce kim-chi 🙂

I am over 37 weeks. I needed a hair cut,but I felt a little uncomfortable going to the hair shop with this huge belly. Matt volunteered to cut my hair. I was little nervous since this was really his first hair cut. I kept saying to him not to  cut too short.. It turns out that he has pretty good skill. I look younger, don’t I? Don’t mind a the few long hairs here and there. They must have been hiding behind my ears when he trimmed them. 🙂 Well~~ it’s converging to a real hair cut.

Baby shower and John

Mom, Dad,  Andrea and baby John visited us for my baby shower  May 22, 2010. It was first time to see John, who is nearly 3 months old. Wow~~, he is a strong boy. He smiled a lot and is very talkative. You may enjoy his smile, movements and sneezing from the above video. Kay and Talee showed a little curiosity to John, but it seems to me they realized soon that he is out of their limit. Matt and I had a really good time with John. I am missing the little guy 🙂

We had a good baby shower at En-bing’s house. I have never been to a baby shower so I was curious what it would be like. We played some games from Leela and had delicious Indian snacks and deserts. It was really fun!!!

Kay and Talee have fun.

It was very warm day. We took out our patio chairs form the shelter and Matt was taking care of the composter, which was frozen during the winter. Of course,  Kay and Talee were there. Somehow, they are hyper whenever Matt and I are doing something. Often they are running the whole back yard, climbing trees, and playing (0r fighting) together like in this video. When they were younger, Kay was the winner in their play. I used to cheer up Talee.. But!!!!! Talee is bigger and stronger now. In addition, Talee is smarter than Kay. Poor~~Kay..

One of the favorite toys of Kay and Talee is the ring from the milk jar. They spend lots of time to hit that thing between the legs of the kitchen table and chairs. Passing it here and there until it slides into under the refrigerator where they can’t get at it. I wonder how many rings are piled up there.

Recently, Talee is playing with paper bags. If she find one in the floor, she run into the back and scratch the bottom, and eventually makes a hole there. Often, she pushes it until she bangs a wall.. It’s so funny.
