THREE!!!

Our sweet little Miles is three today! We cannot believe he's three ... how did that happen?!

We celebrated with a green John Deere tractor, mini cupcakes for breakfast, mini cupcakes at daycare, McDonalds for dinner with Hau-bo and Da bo bo and ice cream for dessert! Enough sweets and junk food?! :)

Happy Birthday sweet Miles!

Words

As my sweet Miles quickly approaches his 3rd birthday in 1 week from today, I decided I would write about all of the funny little words he used to say when he was learning to talk so I could remember them in the upcoming years. We take his speech totally for granted these days... and he had so many words that made us giggle and they are so easy to forget.

cubumber = cucumber
car trans po po = car transporter
labydug = ladybug
pomato = tomato
pin nan yo = piano
pupcake = cupcake
old mcdonalds = mcdonalds (fast food place)
sesame seed street = sesame street (the tv show)
hold you = hold me (when he wants us to hold him, he says "hold you"... too cute)

Alas, there is a few words that he doesn't say correctly and we are holding onto it for as long as we can.

gloves = glubs.
sesame seed street = sesame street (the tv show)
hold you = hold me (when he wants us to hold him, he says "hold you" instead of "hold me"... too cute)

Oh, my sweet little man. :)

Do you like his new hair cut? I love it. Daddy is on the fence.

Oliver eats like a king

After work last night, Hau-boo and I were hard at work making Oliver's baby food and we were able to make 10 ice cube trays of food in about 2.5 hours (for you non-parents... that's a lot!) (Thanks Hau-boo)

Our kings tasting menu:
- Baked Cod with orange juice, sauteed onion, and little bit of sweet potatoes
- Baked Chicken with grapes, cauliflower and potatoes
- Ground turkey breast with tomatoes, carrots, onions, and cauliflower
- Cauliflower with sweet potato
- Apples and peaches
- Pears with raspberries

When we were all done, it dawned on me that Oliver eats WAY better than the rest of us in the house! LOL. Kinda funny.

And, he also drinks Fat Tire! Pretty good life...

Early Halloween

Miles decided that he finally likes the fireman costume which I got for him for Halloween last year and he refused to wear it.

So, happy early Halloween. Or happy late Halloween. However you want to look at it.

Miles' First Visit to the Dentist

Miles had his very first dentist appointment this morning with Dr. Ikehara and he did SO good. I was probably more nervous than he was - I really had no idea how he was going to do. But, he hopped right into the chair and sat still the entire time. Dr. Ikehara was so nice and afterwards he got a token for a toy machine! How cool! Great referral from my boss/friend. Thanks Jessica!

Derek and I both were a bit emotional and sentimental about it - he just looked so grown up in the dentist chair and he behaved so grown up too. Sniff sniff... it's so bittersweet.

8 months... and hot (outside)


Our sweet Oliver is 8 months old today - how time flies! Sigh.

It was a HOT day in San Jose (a high of 107... dear lord!), so we shared popsicles outside after work. Oliver couldn't get enough of my lime popsicle... he literally would grab my arm and pull the popsicle towards his mouth. It's funny how much more lax we are with the 2nd baby... I am pretty sure that Miles probably didn't get a taste of a popsicle until he was 2 years old!

Check out Oliver's outfit due to the heat... a diaper and a bib for the drool, which kinda looks like a tank top and check out those guns!

Warning - very disgusting, but hilarious picture... continue at your own risk

I just had to post this picture of Derek.

This isn't brownie batter.

He was checking to see if Oliver had anything in his diaper and ...



LOL... the joy of parenthood.

Derek, Lara, and I were dying laughing while I ran to get the camera as Derek was yelling "Come pick up Oliver... help!!!" and poor Oliver was crying because we were laughing so hard.

Good times.
