strider

a neat gift from uncle john.

drawing reading writing

he's getting really into drawing, reading and writing. today we wrote a letter to john and walked to the post box to mail it. he wanted to write that he learned about rhyming at school. he said cat, hat, mat, bat, fat all rhyme but when he saw how many letters he'd have to write, he decided to just write his name and trace his hand instead. he wants to read so he can play harder video games.

3 weeks

geez, time flies! i'm supposed to tummy time simon. i forgot all the baby development stages already. he's been putting on the chunk and has been kind of grumpy this whole week but sometimes he just lays there and looks into your eyes and coos and you forget about all the crying. babies are magic!

pink eye

have had to keep ziggy away from other kids and from his little brother. and he's not a fan of the eyedrops. he's been pretending to be spiderman and i have to pretend to be ziggy. i have to role play all day long, it can get taxing. "whoa, spiderman, did you web the ceiling again?"

first bath

belly button scab fell out last thursday at 2 weeks so we gave simon his first bath today. no pees or poos but he was not happy.

relaxing mother's day

we lazed around today, i dusted my house, ate heart shaped pancakes ala mark, moby dick's then a salad bar. a nice relaxing mother's day.

morning family bed

simon is 2 weeks now. he's 1 oz shy of being his birth weight. he loves to be held and he eats really well and makes many pees and poops a day. zi is still an amazing brother and hasn't become disenchanted yet. mark and i are lacking sleep but we're holding up.

hana's 32!

happy bday to my older sis! oh and congrats on the new condo that she purchased in washington dc. she's probably closing on it today!

karen's 31!

happy bday!

buddies

mark's been doing a great job making sure zi's showered with attention.

baby bliss

couldn't ask for a sweeter babe. and babe couldn't ask for a sweeter brother.

sleep

give us some!

black chicken soup

faye made me this dish, it's supposed to restore blood cells after pregnancy. you're only allowed one bowl a day so that your yin and yang don't get off balance. i looked in the pot and guess what? it looked back at me! it's full of goji berries, lychee, mushrooms, dates and ginger. i've also been eating seaweed soup that my mom has made for me. it's a popular post preggo dish amongst koreans.

mom friends

i love my mom friends. you only need a couple, mine are connie and faye! they've been bringing me good eats and spending time with me. and ziggy has had some kid company which is nice for him too!

si-guy

changing everyday!

brother time
