LA Zoo with Linnea

We had a great time with Linnea at the zoo. It was both Micah and Linnea's first time there. Although it was crowded, the weather was really nice. The animals were out and moving around which is always nice to see. When will meet up again???

Chanukah!

We celebrated the last night of Chanukah at Bubbe's with the Reno Rubins. We were so excited that we could celebrate with everyone... the food was great, the company was wonderful, and the game of the night was not Dreidel but Backgammon! Uncle Steve brought his set and we were all obsessed (Jawsh and I even have it on our iphones now). When will we see them again???

Merry Christmas

Micah's first Christmas at Harabujee and Halmoni's house was filled with family, fun, and two toddlers going nuts over Thomas the Train. Micah was asleep most of the time but Noah and Kaitlyn were full of energy and loved all the attention. What will it be like next year when Micah is one???

Merry Christmas Eve

Uncle Bill surprised Kaitlyn and Noah with their very own Thomas the Tank Engine ride! How is Billy going to top this next year???

Happy Chanukah!

We are starting a new tradition to celebrate a night of Chanukah with the Shields, especially since Micah and Kyre are best friends. It was a great time of showing off babies, eating homemade latkes (thanks Jawsh), and lighting candles. Next year we celebrate at Jay's place... will his latkes taste better???

Happy Birthday Linnea

Today we celebrated Linnea's 1st birthday. Micah slept while Linnea crab-walked (you have to see it to understand) towards Noah throughout the party. We have been trying to get the kids together to take a trip to the zoo... (Joel) when is that going to happen???

Daycare?

I am so blessed to have the option to take the boys with me to the daycare at my work. I went back to school to introduce Micah to my first grade students while Noah spent time with Phelan in the nursery. Noah did okay for awhile but started to cry when he wanted to leave and when he realized that we were not there! How long will it take for him to adjust???

Vegas baby, baby, and baby

We went to Las Vegas with my brother, Michelle, and Kaitlyn and a few of his friends. We had a great time introducing Noah and Micah to my aunts and uncles. Although there is not much to do in Vegas with a toddler we did manage to go to the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef and of course a trip to my uncle's Baskin Robbins shop. Uncle Bill only lets special customers try all 31 flavors and Noah was well on his way, but we had to be good parents and stop him. I wonder what flavor Noah will like when he gets older???

A glowing breast?

When Micah is fussy Jawsh likes to show him the light in the hall and Micah usually calms down pretty quickly. At first I thought, "oh he likes the light," but Jawsh thinks it resembles a woman's breast! Would you agree???

2 months!

Micah had his two month check up. He is in the 90-95th percentile in height and weight, and in the 70th percentile for head circumference (Noah had a bigger noggin when he was that age). He also got his first set of immunizations and he cried and screamed so much, I cried with him! How will we handle his next appointment???

Come and knock on my door...

Uncle Zach has moved into our complex! A close friend of ours said we could have a sitcom based on our lives. I wonder what we would call it???

Back to Disney

Yes, you read it right... back to Disneyland. As annual pass holders we have the convenience of going to the park and not having to feel like we have to stay all day (plus who could with little ones). We were back for a few hours so Aunt Kelly could spend some time with her niece and nephews at the happiest place on earth. If you ask me, the happiest place on earth is wherever your loved ones are, wouldn't you agree???

Hi Jeremy and Rebecca

The Davis Rubins were in town over the Thanksgiving break and it was so nice to see them. Noah got reacquainted with his cousins while Micah enjoyed meeting them for the first time! Jeremy is off to college and Rebecca is off to claiming his room... time has flown fast! Where will Jeremy go to school next year???

Micah's first Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with traditional American fare and some Korean food throw in. Noah tried asparagus and green beans and loved it! What will Micah like to eat???

Happy Birthday Noah!!!

Today is Noah's birthday!!! We went to Disneyland to celebrate. We spent our morning in Fantasy Land and Toon Town. Noah and Kaitlyn loved The Small World ride, but the highlight was meeting Mickey Mouse. Later that evening, we had a small Baskins Robbins cake for Noah to enjoy (he is getting another cake, a Barefoot cake, at Thanksgiving). What will we do for Noah's 3rd birthday???

Smile, Noah, it's your Birthday!

We celebrated Noah's 2nd birthday with Bubbe's brisket dinner and birthday brownies. The theme was happy faces... he had happy face brownies, happy face birthday hat, and he received happy face stickers and pajamas from Bubbe. Noah loved every bit of his birthday celebration... what will the theme be next year???

Best buds

Jawsh and Jay have been best friends for almost thirty years! Will Micah and Kyre follow in their footsteps???

Halmoni's birthday

Both my parents follow the lunar calendar, therefore, the date of their birthday changes every year. We weren't really prepared this time around with Noah being sick and adjusting to having two kids, so in a dash we bought a Baskin Robbins roll cake for my mom. It was a nice change from the Barefoot cakes (but those are still the best). My dad was holding Kaitlyn and Noah so my mom got to blow out her candle. Wonder what she wished for???

Day out with Thomas

We ventured to Perris to see Thomas the Tank Engine today. Noah and Kaitlyn really enjoyed playing in the tents with the legos, getting tattoos, and meeting Sir Topham Hatt. They even got to ride on a train, but they were a little bored. Next time (yes there will be a next time) we know to forgo the train ride and let them jump in the Thomas bounce house. Will Micah get into the Thomas franchise???

White gold

The pump is back out, the parts sterilized, and the bottles ready to go... finally Jawsh can help out with Micah's feedings! Micah consumed 2.5 ounces first time out and only left a little bit of milk in the bottle. For any mommas out there who have pumped we know how precious our milk is... right down to the last drop. Will Micah finish his bottles from now on???
