Monday, August 10th, 2009The other night, when I walked into the living room, Andrew was trying to discipline Chloe about asking for things politely. She wanted a glass of water and she didn’t say the "magic" word. So Andrew was going on and on about mannerism and it was getting little bit repetitive. Chloe was looking at him quietly then she looked at me and said, "what’s he saying, mommy?"
I tried not to laugh so much and told her to listen to daddy. Then she goes, "aaagain?"
pretty but tough, @11 months
Sunday, August 9th, 2009My favorite time with Shane is after bath, which is right before his bed time. It’s just the two of us during that time and he gets so happy and playful, crawling all over the place laughing and giggling. He’s extra ticklish in his armpit areas so when I go for it, he just squeaks really loud and doesn’t know what to do with himself.
He’s a funny guy. He loves to play hide and seek (weather we are playing with him or not), and loves to eat anything he can get his hands on. If you drop anything in our place, it’ll most likely ends up in his mouth before anyone can see it. I’ve taken out an ant from his mouth, a piece of magazine cover, to Chloe’s hair bands to name a few. When I spot him eating something and I ask what’s in his mouth, he closes his mouth really tight and runs the other way.
Even though he’s usually very gentle and easy going, he’s shown us his temper too. When I took a pretzel from his hand after his long and tiring pursuit to snatch it from his sister’s hand, he got mad at me. He turned red and cried on the top of his lung, falling backwards on his back. I couldn’t believe it… over a pretzel… he became a beast.
He loves to follow his sister around and looks at her for encouragement. When he’s achieve something new, he looks for his sister for a praise which I think it’s so endearing.
He can say and mean Umm-ma (mommy), A-ppa(daddy), Kka-ka(snack, go figure..), so far.

Saturday, August 8th, 2009Eura came over with her son Rilee this afternoon. It was great seeing them and seeing our kids play together. As they were leaving our house, Chloe climbed up into their SUV to leave with them. Why is she always trying to attempt a getaway from us??
We had a fantastic time with you guys and we look forward to the next time!
she thinks!

We were driving back from church this morning and Chloe was unusually quiet. Normally she’s very chatty and and is usually singing in the car. So I asked her,
Me: Chloe, what are you doing? why are you so quiet?
Chloe: …
Me: Chloe, are you okay?
Chloe: I’m thinking. (with meaningful smile on her face)
Me: hahaha, you’re thinking?
Chloe: yes mommy, I’m thinking!
Me: oh… what are you thinking about?
Chloe: (after a small pause) one…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…nine…ten…eleven…twelve…thirteen…another thirteen…and another thirteen…that’s mommy’s, that’s Chloe’s, that’s Shane’s, that’s daddy, jennifer, nancy, granny,
I don’t know what she was thinking or counting but she sure looked like she was entertained by her own thoughts judging by her smile.
kiddy pool, bbq, puppies & movies
Saturday, August 1st, 2009We were invited to Austin and Amy’s beautiful house for BBQ. The kids had fun going in and out of the kiddie pool and enjoyed eating delicious grilled food.
Juicy Naomi… so delicious!
Chloe was so cute. At one point, when she saw Shane playing by himself, she came and grabbed his hand, encouraging him to go in the water with her. 🙂 Those are the moments that make my heart all fuzzy and warm…oh my sweet Chloe.
Movie geeks…
Chloe and Austin became good friends. It was too funny seeing them hanging out together and Chloe kept calling him Naomi! Thanks guys for having us over!! We had an awesome time. 🙂
