Update on the last 3 months...

Kylie's shoe collection

Hi everyone! Yes, a new arrival in the family AND a toddler kept me busy that I haven't had any time to update the blog! So, I'm craming the last 3 months into one post...lots of pictures and stories to share. Everything is going pretty well, except I still haven't had a good night sleep in months. Kaden has grown a lot. He's 13 lbs now and he's eating very well....he's starting to smile and talk a lot. Everytime we play with him, he has a grin on his face. As for Kylie, she's starting to repeat everything we say. Her favorite word isn't "no" anymore...she learned to say, "yes", which is always nice to hear. Her vocabulary has grown A LOT the last month and is starting to put words together.

My mom went to Taiwan for a month and she'll be home in two weeks. During this time, Mark took two weeks off and we've been taking the kids out everyday...it's sooo nice!!! Although we're pretty tired, we're happy that the kids are having fun. Well, mostly Kylie of course. :)

Here are some pictures to update:

Kaden Tyler Sun

Welcome to this world, little Kaden! I went into labor on Friday night, 4-5 cm dialated. My water broke at about 3 am. After a push or two, the doctor came. Within one contraction, I pushed and whoosh, Kaden came out. :) He weighed in at 6 lbs. 2 oz, measuring 19 inches long.

Things have been good. Kylie loves her little brother and constantly points at him and says, "babe" and also the word "eyes". She can say those words pretty good, so she's constantly repeating herself when she sees the baby. Kylie has been adjusting pretty well with the new addition in the family, but her eating habits are getting worse. She uses the word "no" a lot and loves to get junk food from the cabinet herself. Oh boy. I think she has hit the terrible two's. Mark has been great...he's been keeping her occupied by taking her out and running errands. That way, she won't be so stir-crazy at home all day long.

As far as Kaden, he's been eating well and sleeping well. I'm really enjoying this time when I can hold him to sleep, but I haven't held him nearly as much as I held Kylie when she was just born. There's just so much to do, especially when you have a toodler to look after.

We took a bunch of pictures, but I'm only going to post a few, since I have to go feed Kaden soon! Enjoy! Thank you for coming by to see Kaden!

Carolyn & Scott came to visit us at the hospital...

Here we are...a completed family of four.

Also, the Hsu's came over to visit. We didn't get a family picture of them with Kaden, but here's a picture of Kylie and Evan playing at the park.

Here's a picture of Kaden at a week old and a picture of Kylie at a week old. They look alike!

happy july!

We made it to July without any major complications! I'm almost at the 'safe zone'...a few more weeks! Things have been progressing a lot. Mark got the baby's room painted, picked up the crib and dresser and now I'll just need to start putting things together in the room. My physical abilities have been pretty limited, since I'm getting bigger and bigger each day.

Kylie has been doing pretty well. She's still a picky eater, but she's becoming more open to trying new food. She's learning to say a few new words, especially the word, "no". That comes out of her mouth really clear and precise! She loves hugging her dolls, especially Rageddy Ann. She goes crazy over yogurt and ice cream...looks like she has a sweet tooth like her mommy & daddy!

We've been doing a few amount of limited activities. In June, we celebrated Savina's 1st birthday at the Irvine Regional Park. Also, we celebrated Evan's 2nd birthday at the Hsu's house. Other than that, we do a few things here and there. This past weekend, we went to Aunt Lin & Uncle Ron's house for 4th of July. It was beautiful there, since we got to enjoy watching the fireworks from their backyard. On Sunday, Kim & Carolyn hosted a mini baby shower for me, which was really nice. Thank you guys!

One more thing I'd like to add...
Today marks the 7th year of my dad's memorial. I miss you so much, baba!

I uploaded a bunch of pictures to share with you guys...
Happy 1st Birthday, Savina!
