A letter to my son

Just when I think he cant get any cuter, he does!!!!
He's a very handsome little boy. I am so proud to be his Mom.





Dear Alex,
I will always be in-love with you. Your smiles and giggles make me the happiest Mom in the world. I pray that you continue to be strong, happy and healthy. You are such a good baby. I couldn't ask for more.

Thanks for showing us your love. We are so proud of you. And most of all, thanks for letting me sleep through the night. You are just perfect!!! I love you son!

Love,
Your Mom

Temporary Home

I am not a country music fan. But I love this song...



I cry every time I watch this video. It reminds me of my purpose here on earth and my Heavenly Father's plan for me and my family.

4 wheeling

We went 4-wheeling yesterday and we had a blast. The weather was perfect and it was beautiful outside! I just realized that we're still very young and active :-) Thank God for good health and strength! It was an awesome date with Isaac. I love my Man!!!

Here are some of our pictures and video clips from yesterday:

Future heartbreaker

New Ride

This strong baby loves to stand up whenever we hold him. He discovered, he has strong legs. He is growing so fast too. At 2 months and 3 weeks, he measures 26 inches long. He's not getting fat, but he's getting taller. I am happy for that growth spurt. I guess because he sleeps through the night... maybe.

Since he loves standing up (with our support of course) Isaac and I decided that we should buy him a baby walker. He's not gonna start walking anytime soon but he can sit there and chill.

So this morning, Daddy surprised little Alex with a new toy...
And boy he loves it! It's his first car/baby walker! He sat there for 10 minutes and totally enjoyed the sounds when ever he presses the buttons accidentally.hahaha. He was smiling and drooling a lot!

Alex's daily activities

Since he started sleeping 8 hours straight at night (and even more sometimes), he's more awake during the day. So I make sure he's busy during the day. Here are some of his favorite activities :

Reading time with Mommy

This little boy loves books! He's a bookworm in the making. I made him hold his favorite book and took this picture. As you can see, he's very interested with the book. I can even read it to him many times during the day. He's a very attentive 2-month-old baby. He loves colorful pictures and shinny objects.

He loves music time

He enjoys playing the piano (just like his Mommy). He loves the sound a lot that he giggles and drools like crazy...hahaha!

Our pet, Charlie is already admiring him for his outstanding talent.hahaha!

His other activities during the day includes: Tummy time, bath, chilling on his play mat, hanging-out with Dad when he gets home, eat, short naps, tickle time and making our hearts melt. He's so PRECIOUS.

Can't wait...

We are going on a vacation this summer! We are attending the Job's temple sealing in Manti Temple.I've never seen that temple in person. It's a very beautiful temple. We are so happy and excited for them. It'll be super awesome and we're so happy to be part of it.

This will be Alex's first vacation. He will finally meet his cousins there. I'm sure he will have fun since he will be around 5 months by then...

Here are some photos of temples in Utah:

Salt Lake Temple

Provo Temple

Logan Temple

My cuppie!

It's amazing how sugar can totally cheer you up! But in the end, you still pay the price of eating fatty dessert. It's worth it though.Now it's time to do the yoga...

Thank Heaven for Milk

Here's the MAIN reason why I am grateful for Milk:

Breakfast

Fried shrimp with eggs

Ingredients:
1 tsp. olive oil
shrimps
eggs
cornstarch
salt
pepper
onion powder

Instructions:
Pour 1 tsp. olive oil on a non-stick pan and fry shrimps until cooked.
Mix eggs, a little cornstarch ,onion powder, salt and pepper... then fry it with the shrimps.

It's so easy, fast and yummy! I eat it with sweet and sour sauce to add flavor

Favorite photo of the week

ALEX: Eeew Mommy! Please change this poopy diaper. I am totally disgusted! YUCKY!!!!

MOMMY: Let's take a picture first... Awwww priceless.

New Hair

I finally got a picture of my new hair. I'm still not sure if I'm going keep it that way.I think I will keep my hair color since it matches my eyes. What do you think?

HAPPY BABY

The reason behind this smiley face is 8 hours of sleep. It's been 2weeks since he started sleeping through the night. I am talking about 8 hours straight without eating or diaper change. I am one of the lucky Moms. He's more awake during the day though but I love that. He's keeping me busy all day long. He still takes short naps and I am okay with that. As long as I sleep good at night. He's such a happy camper. He recognizes me and his Dad and smiles a lot. It's also very easy to make him laugh. He's just perfect.

Flashback

After re-arranging our living room (again!) I decided to browse some pictures of our 1st house that we rented for more than a year. And I saw these pictures:

Our old living room.That's a hand-me-down couch and coffee table. We gave it to a young couple after we bought our 1st new couch.

Here's another view of the living room. We bought the cheapest futon at walmart and we were so excited. It didn't match our couch at all and it was a little uncomfortable to sit, but we loved it! I am humbled.

Isaac took a picture of me in our living room.

Projects

PROJECT #1: Our basement / family room




Isaac arranged this room. That teddy bear will be gone today.hahaha.It took us a year to finally put this together. We were just planning for a long time. And then we decided we have to get this done or we'll never be able finish this project if we keep on procrastinating.We removed the ugly carpet and changed the floor. We're still looking for an area rug that will match the furniture.

Here's another view of our family room. It's more like Isaac's corner. I do play video games sometimes...This is our movie place too.

Our small bathroom downstairs. It has a shower too. That orange wall will be gone. We'll paint it white or beige this summer when we have time.

The other half of our basement is my mini photo studio. I didn't take a picture because it's messy right now. I folded most of my equipments. I will organize it first and then I'll post some pictures.


PROJECT #2: LIVING ROOM

This is our living room. We pretty much moved our old furniture downstairs and replaced a red furniture set. I love red and black. I think it's simple and elegant.

Here's another view of our living room. Now this is Sarah's corner :-)


Our next project is a vegetable garden. We'll see what will happen...

Dinner date

We had a dinner date last night in our quiet home. Isaac prepared a special dinner for me. The food was great and very healthy! We enjoyed our time together. It was nice. I still think that Isaac is the best CHEF in the world. I love how my husband loves to cook. I think it's macho. He's just the best husband! And because he's the best husband, I am striving to be THE BEST WIFE IN THE HISTORY OF ALL WIFERY :-P

Best Actor Award goes to...

I was cleaning when I heard him crying..

He was so pathetic...


So I went into his bedroom to comfort him...

He didn't stop crying...


But his face looked like this

Before and After

Favorite photo of the week

I am a very good boy. But if you keep on taking pictures of me while I am trying to take a nap, I will definitely get mad!!! ;-)

He's growing...

My baby boy is growing so fast. Today, he started wearing 3-6months clothes *sob* and he's only 2 months and 1 week.I already gave away a lot of his 0-3 months clothes because they're too small and he hates tight clothes. I kept some of it for his baby brother :-) He is definitely a tall baby. I am 5 '5 and Isaac's 6 ft tall ... I am guessing Alex will be 6'3 ft tall someday. I can't believe how much he's changed since day 1. He's getting cuter and whiter. Not as white as his Dad, but definitely lighter than me. He's a very "mestizo" baby and I love that. He's already sleeping 6-8 hours straight at night. I'm getting my beauty rest now. So I think I won't be needing my eye drops and eye cream. He's such an easy baby. We are so lucky.

New born

2 months old

I can't help but cry when I see his newborn pictures and his recent pictures. I would love to tell him to stop growing.. But he will grow whether we're ready or not. I definitely enjoy being with him and watch him grow. He is the biggest blessing that I've ever received from God.

SMILE!!!

He already accepted the fact that his Mom loves to take pictures. Lately, when he sees the camera, he'll start smiling. Could be the color of the camera? Or he loves the Camera? Or both! Oh Alex! You're one gorgeous guy. Someday, Mommy will buy a shot gun, so bad girls will stay away from you.hahaha!
