kylie's happy weekend!

Kylie lounging on her chair eating fruit and watching tv...how relaxing!

This past weekend, Kylie has become so much more active and vocal. She's not saying many words yet, but she sure is babbling a lot these days. It's really funny cause everytime she wants to be held, she would say BAO (which bao bao means "to hold" in chinese). So, we figure we can teach her some new words. I would tell Kylie, say 'please' when she's asking for snacks, and she would say BAO so loud. hilarious!

We saw a lot of babies this weekend and as usual, Kylie just loves kissing them. When Kylie and Savina got together, all they did was kiss each other! Savina has a really neat area in the house that has all her play toys. Kylie totally enjoyed playing with everything. We also went to California Adventure and caught the Electrical Parade and fireworks show. That was a lot of fun.

We went to visit the hsu family and got to meet Sadie for the first time. She's so precious! Evan and Kylie got to play together more this time around...they are a lot more interactive with each other now. Evan got a whole sun room full of toys! We also got to see Caleb! He's so big and alert now! It was just great seeing everyone since my aunt and grandma were there too.

So, my ultrasound yesterday indicated that we're having a boy! We're excited cause now we'll have one of each. I received several warnings of how active a little boy can be and how different boys and girls are. I'm hoping he will be a good baby and sleep through the night by 2 months...like Caleb! :) Now that we know the sex of the baby, we can plan to do everything else now...like clearing out our office and making it the baby's room. Although this is our 2nd baby, there are still a lot of things to get, especially now that we have to restart on buying all boys clothes!

Well, I'm going to end right here and include a bunch of pictures we took the past few days. Tomorrow, we're off to Georgia! More pictures and updates to come...have a good weekend!

Kylie.18 months ~~ My pregnancy.18 weeks

Kylie and her baby doll...thank you, Aunt Vida!

Happy 18 months to Kylie yesterday! She is officially 1.5 years old. I can't believe she's becoming a little girl now, but she will always be my baby. Plus, she's so small in size that it's hard to believe she's 18 months old! Kylie has been doing well these days. She's definitely a late talker because she still hasn't attempt to say any words yet...just the basics like, mama baba, dada. I hope one day she will just blurt out a bunch of words. She has her 18-month check up tomorrow, so we'll see what the doctor says. She still doesn't like to drink her milk and she's a creature of habit. We bought her a new sippy cup that is the EXACT same style as her old one, but just a different color. She just won't drink from it! Can you believe it? Then, once I give her the old one, she starts gulping her water down. Boy oh boy...

My pregnancy is going pretty well at this point. I'm beginning to feel the baby move...little flutters in my tummy. At my last check up, the doctor told me that I lost half a pound. It seems hard to believe since I'm totally showing now...but I do notice that this time around, I don't have much of an appetite. Hope that increases through the weeks. So, next week we have an appointment for an ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby! I'm excited to find out just cause we can start planning and it gives me a better idea of what to shop for. Plus, we haven't done anything for the new baby and one of the biggest thing we have to do is to clear out the office and make it baby#2's room. Ohhh, not looking forward to putting my scrapbook table away...although I haven't scrapbook in a while, it just makes me a little sad to know that we have to put it away and it just brings me another step away from scrapbooking. Those of you who are scrappers should understand. :)

Other than that next week, we go on our vacation to Georgia to visit the grandparents! It would be nice to hang out with them for a few days and Kat is going to meet us there, so that's an extra PLUS! The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the flight there and back. We leave at 6 in the morning, meaning we have to get up around 3 AM....There's also a 3-hour difference in Georgia, so I'm just imagining how Kylie is going to deal with her sleeping...and at night. I'm glad that we bought her a seat on the plane as well, so that way, maybe she will fall asleep in her carseat on the plane. We have a lot to prepare for since this is our first trip that requires flying. Wish us luck!

So, I'll end this post with a few pictures we took the last week or two. Enjoy!

Here's Kylie enjoying herself on her new couch and watching Seasame Street.



Margaret & Carhin came down 2 weeks ago and we went to a Piggies & Paws party. We got footprints done for both Carhin and Kylie. Afterwards, they came over and had lunch at our place...it was really good seeing them!



We went to visit Eunice & Andrew AND thier new bundle of joy, Audrey who is only a few weeks old here. Here's a group picture of the girls with our babies...and two more to come in Cindy and I's tummy. This picture was taken two weeks ago, so as of 2 days ago, Cindy delivered a healthly little girl, Sadie! Congratulations, Cindy & Wilfred!



One of Kylie's favorite things to do is to flip through her board books. She has no patience to listen to me read a book to her cause before I can finish one sentence, she's already flipped to the next page. :)





Don't you just love her little piggy pj's?



I love this picture of Mark & Kylie...every night before kylie's bedtime, she would sit next to daddy and watch baby or little Einstein.

disneyland

This past weekend we took Kylie to disneyland for the first time! Although we didn't get much reaction from her, we can tell her favorite ride was Dumbo. She was nodding more when the ride was over. We also went on Pirates and she was shaking her head and wanting me to hold her in the beginning cause it was so dark. She did like the 2 dips though! We went with the Kiel family and she had a great time chasing Dylan around trying to kiss him. It was just the right amount of time to spend at disneyland for us. We managed to stay a little over 6 hours and we were all pooped when we got home. We had a wonderful first experience with kylie and our next trip planned is going to be California Adventure! Enjoy!
