Bye bye S word, and the A word and other 4 letter words!

This morning Tae was so whiney and demanding I told him to "Shut it." For five minutes he went around the house yelling "utit, utit." I thought," ohhh Sh....utit there goes my cussing days!"

Jan 2009 already

TAE SAYS:

I can't believe it is January 2009! Things I have done so far this year..... go see fishies, eat Chinese food, go see the stuff at the Nature and Science museum, play with Sam, go to the library, play with my friends Jacob, James, and Justin, go play at the park, go play with my friends Zach and Elise, eat more Chinese food, go to the mall, go to school and see my friends.

New words I can say, please, duck, quack, juice, cracker, shoes, meow..

I SAY:

It is amazing how quickly Tae is picking up language now. I am amazed at all the words and signs he uses now to communicate with us! KEEP SIGNING PEOPLE, it works!

Total words: daddy, mommy, yes, no, bottle, milk, water, baby, kitty, meow, moo, hi, bye, night, hungry, juice, cracker, eat, all done, thank you, more, nose, belly, shoes, socks, buddy, quack, duck, light (on/off), up, varoom (car), honk honk, ... that's a lot words! Who knows what else?

Gosh, I almost forgot his faves: OH-OH, Ball, Balloon & I want that!

The Cure For Ba Humbug Flu

It is amazing how much a little ba humbug like myself can really enjoy the the pre-Christmas chaos. I believe that is because of mommy-hood. XMAS x Baby = -BH


We have a 9 ft tree... the first tree we have had since we've been married.
Baby Tae is super good with the tree.... the ornaments are beyond his reach.
The kitties have found a new napping place... the stand cover is nice and velvety.

Tae is 14 months old today and it seems like yesterday I was sleep deprived and barely hanging on to sanity. NOW he goes to bed at 7 and wakes up at 6. Banker keeps rhetorically asking: Can you believe our son is sleeping through the night! In return I say: Do you think it is just a phase?

All I know is: he stopped taking the bottle a month ago. No silicone nipple, no Next Step formula, no nothing that reminds him of the baby he used to be at 13 months. Pooo hooo and YAY!

Eye Surgery

Can't believe it is already October. On the first, Tae had his eye surgery. It went well. The doctor said the his tear ducts were really tight and it required some extra time to insert the tubes. :( We are just glad he is okay! He was such a trooper, no food for 10 hours... didn't really bother him as much as we suspected. The really horrible part was the recovery. To hear your little baby screaming in the recovery room with tubes, wires, and a bloody nose sucks. The doctor and the nurse had to sedate him twice after the surgery because he was so upset. All in all, he is fine now, ready to eat and play! Kids are amazingly resilient. I don't have any pictures of it and I am sure no one minds.

Instead I have some pictures from the park to show off. Tae is no longer a baby but a toddler now. I can't believe he will be one in 8 days! Yay!

Best Friends!



GOSH, I can't believe September is already over. I 've been busy with school, Tae, visits....
Early this month, Aunt Yeon and Paul came to visit Tae from LA. It was fun seeing Yeon Hee with Tae. She is a great emo and guardian! We also met Paul for the first time. We really liked him!
Then my grandma came to visit for a whole week!!! Banker's traveled a lot during September so it was really great to have my mother here to help out and visit. Tae really enjoyed it. While she was here, he learned so much. Most important new skill: walking. YUP our little man is walking now!

August End

GO BRONCOS!

GO GREEN CAR!
YUMMY APPLE!
CRAZY HAIR!

Tae is still cruising around like a bad baby. He's quite the speedster. I can tell he is getting quite frustrated because he cannot walk yet. He tries, falls, bonks his head, cries... and starts all over again. There are definitely more head injuries lately. I can't believe he will be 11 months old in less than 2 weeks. He is so big now... hmmmm.
