Jump Jump

We set up Micah's jumper and he loves it! Time is flying too fast, wouldn't you agree???

Rock those shoes Noah!

Back in August, I blogged about Noah's Pediped photo shoot in Santa Monica. He was 21 months old at the time of this shoot. The 2009 online catalog is out and he made it on to their website under press releases. To view this click on the link: http://www.pediped.com/home/pressrelease.aspx and scroll down. Will Micah get into modeling???

Ratatouille

Noah is in love with the Pixar movie, Ratatouille. It all started when Mary, Seth, and Rebecca were over and watching the DVD. Since then, Noah asks to watch it all the time and we made him a make-shift stove. I googled some images and taped them to a box we were going to throw away. Noah loves it and we love that he loves to cook there. If you ask him what he's making he'll tell you one of two of his specialities: Ratatouille or soup. What will he create next???

Sitting pretty

Throughout the day Jawsh helps Micah practice sitting in his seat. It's really amazing to see how strong our little boy has become. Before we know it Micah will be sitting up straight on his own. I can remember when Noah was in this same chair... time flies fast, doesn't it???

Presidential pancakes

Today marks a historic day... the inauguration of Barack Obama!!! We woke up early to watch all the happenings in DC with our lovely neighbors (Uncle Zach and Todd), I texted friends who were actually there (lucky them), and we made a vow to be at the next inauguration of Obama when he is re-elected! In honor of Obama, Jawsh made Obama pancakes (okay, Noah got a Mickey shaped one)... what will be his first executive order???

Happy baby

Micah is a happy baby... can't you tell???

Fun with Uncle Zach

Now that Jawsh is at home with the boys, every little helps. Uncle Zach comes over to play with Noah and sometimes he even takes him to the nearby park. Here they are on the play structure... when will he take him again???

Daycare? Not right now...

This morning Noah went to the daycare at my school. He was excited... he had his Thomas lunchpail and Gymbo backpack and was ready to go. Unfortunately, it was not a good experience. We started the morning off on the right foot and ended the day on the wrong one. So back at home with Dada for now, but we are exploring other options. Anyone have recommendations???

California Disney

Today we went to California Disney for a couple of hours to meet up with Kaitlyn and Zach (Tina's nephew). The kids had a great time munching on Mickey Mouse cookies and watching the Pixar parade. Here is a picture of Noah and Uncle Bill on King Triton's Carousel (Noah refuses to sit on a horse). When will head back to the Disneyland???

Hi GGA and GGT

GGA and GGT came to visit us from Reno. We always enjoy their visit because we get to hear family stories and catch up with their travels (they just returned from Costa Rica). We munched on fresh bialy bagels and challah french toast while Noah and Micah slept. When will we see them again????

Chug, chug, chug

Today was my first day back at work since September. Jawsh is home with the boys and trying the Mr. Mom by day, art director at night. The pump is back out and Micah takes to the bottle just like his older brother did... without a problem. Here is a picture from Jawsh's perspective when he feeds Micah. Cute eh???

Noah's train set

Noah usually takes his trains to Kaitlyn's house and plays with her set there because it is so cool. But we finally decided to have a mini one in the house for him to play with. Grandpa Barry and Grandma Lauryn helped set it up and Noah has a great time with it. Will we cave in and buy more accessories for his set???

Behind the lens

Here is a sneak peek of Micah posing for his Baek-il pictures. Unfortunately the timing was off (we had to wake him up mid-nap) so there were not a lot of pictures with his little dimples. But he's so adorable that with or without the dimples, the pictures came out well. We also tried to do a brother shot, but Noah wasn't feeling it. Regardless, we got them done and they came out well, don't you think???

100 days

Micah celebrated his Baek-il at Harabujee and Halmoni's home. The Baek-il celebrates the 100 days after a baby's birth. The number 100 has an inherent meaning of maturity and perfection. Micah received a few gifts along with wishes of good health and blessings. We had a steamed rice cake prepared (baekseolgi) shown in the picture which has a symbolic meaning of holiness. Noah enjoyed eating the baekseolgi (especially because he never got to taste his own cake because he was too young)... whose baekseolgi will Micah get to eat???

Congrats Kim and Dean

One of my childhood friends, Kim, and her fiancee Dean tied the knot! We are so happy for these two and wish them the best. When will see them again???

Happy 2009!

Happy 2009! Noah and Kaitlyn dressed in their hanboks and bowed to Harabujee and Halmoni. They both received money, symbolizing good luck and good wishes. 2008 was such a memorable year, what will 2009 bring???
