He's 6 months old! That's half of a year! OMG!

Actually, he's 6 months and 6 days, but who's counting? 
-Liam weighs 20lbs8oz and he's 29 inches long. O.M.G.  He is the same size that Sydni was when she was 1.  If he stays on the same growth pattern, when he's 1, he'll be the same size as her when she was 2.  Monster baby!


-He is still sleeping 10-12 hours a night.  After being sick he decided he was going to go through a mini growth spurt and wake up at 3:30am to eat.  Thank goodness that's over with!
-He's a rolling over fool.  He's now figured out how to roll all around in his crib while he's sleeping.  We find him in the funniest positions!

- He is still eating 7 oz at each feeding.  He eats cereal 3 times a day and fruits twice a day.  He now eats 2.5oz of fruit twice a day. and cereal twice a day. He still is only eating apples and pears since bananas hinder his ability to go to the bathroom!  He just switched to mixed grain cereal.  He had his first veggie today!!  Sweet Potatoes!!  He ate them like he'd had them a million times already!
-He is riding around comfortably in his Moby.  He loves it and it's comfortable for me, too!

-He is "talking" all the time!  

-He loves looking at himself in the mirror.  He starts smiling and laughing and then he throws his head in the other direction like he's embarrassed!

- He's such a happy baby.  He now laughs when we laugh, which is hilarious because it's just continuous because we laugh because he laughs, too!
-He's definitely not going to take after his sister.  If he sees it, it's his.  Anything he sees goes in his mouth and anything he sees he has to touch.  Oh joy!
- He's still obsessed with his feet!
-He still takes 2 naps a day.  His favorite place to nap is still on our bed with my body boppy pillow has the cushion, but I am in the process of trying to get him to nap in his crib.  It takes him a while to fall asleep and then he will only sleep for an hour if that.  
-He army crawls all around!  He gets where he wants to be and that makes him one happy guy!

-He is rocking back and forth on his hands and knees, so the full on crawl will be happening very soon!

-He is still wearing 18-24 month clothes. These jammies are 3t!!!! 
-He wears a size 4 diaper, but I did buy a box of 5's for when the 4's run out!

-He still chews his fingers CONSTANTLY.  If he isn't doing that, normally a binkie is in his mouth.
- He's doing great at learning how to sit up!  He now is attempting to sit without using his hands to support him.
- He hip sits all the time.  He looks like he's posing!!
-He wears his hair like this most of the time because he's a rockstar.
- He's learning how to use a sippy cup.  He get so excited when we give it to him!
-He loves spending time outside.
- He went on the swing at the park for the first time and he loved it!!!!

- 4 shots this month, but he doesn't seem as crabby this time! :-)

Fabulous Fridays




Well lets start off by stating that IT IS FRIDAY!  What isn't fabulous about that???


My new furniture comes in TWO DAYS.  I can't wait.  I'm seriously counting down the days.  Official dork.  I'll be posting a blog about it after it arrives and I'll do a before and after, so you can see what a hot mess my living room was before.  So look for it and check it out!!


Easter egg hunt tomorrow....pending weather.  Can't wait!  Sydni LOVES it.

Fabulous Fridays


I got my Thiry-One Order Today!  I love it, and if I had more money I'd buy everything!!


Finally some warm weather.  It might not seem like much, but it sure does make the day better.


A happy baby.  Seriously.  A crabby baby makes things not so fabulous.


My house is CLEAN.  It's the small things in life that make me so happy.  With a sick baby last week, that is a huge accomplishment and it makes me feel so much more relaxed.



Fabulous Week!



My Favorite Things: March

1.  Elf Facial Whip - LOVE IT.  It can used as a shimmer for whatever.  I use it on my eyes for a primer, and sometimes I wear it by itself.

2.  Sally Hansen Nail Polish - Color choice: White!  I'm obsessed.  I also use a nail art pen to decorate!

3.  Moby Wrap - My giant of a son (20lbs80z as of a week ago and 5 months old) doesn't fit in his bjorn anymore and this wrap is AMAZING.  Doesn't hurt my back and he loves it!  It's a win win! (and look I found a picture of an Asian lady with an Asian baby!!!)

4.  Tangled - One of my new favorite movies!!!!!  And that Chameleon is so freaking cute! Enough said.


5.  Opinion Outpost aka survey site - I love this survey sight and it's legit!  I've already made $16.50 and I've only been doing it for around a month.  Give it a try if you want.  Click here!



6.  Words With Friends - So what I'm obsessed.  If you're a wwf addict, too, please let's just start a game together.  Jkmarshall911

Liam is 5 Months Old!

BIG LIAM! 


-Liam weighs 20lbs 8oz (as of March 31st)!! Let's just say my arms are in Tip.Top.Shape.


-He is still sleeping 10-12 hours a night except for recently since he's been sick.  Hopefully he will go right back into routine when he starts to feel better. 






-He's still obsessed with rolling over. His new thing is to do it while he's sleeping.  He either ends up waking himself up or giving me a heart attack because he will just sleep ON his face.  EEEK!

- He is still eating 7 oz at each feeding.  He eats cereal 3 times a day and fruits twice a day.  He now eats 2.5oz of fruit twice a day. and cereal twice a day. He still is only eating apples and pears since bananas hinder his ability to go to the bathroom!

-He loves facing outward when you carry him.  He loves the bjorn, but he's 4 pounds away from being too big for it. I have no idea what I'm going to do without it!

-He is "talking" all the time!  

-He loves looking at himself in the mirror.  He starts smiling and laughing and then he throws his head in the other direction like he's embarrassed!



-He still laughs at all sorts of silly things...noises, faces, anything really!

-He's grasping EVERYTHING, and everything has to go in his mouth.  


-He's found his feet!!  And he figured out how to get them in his mouth, too!





-He still takes 2 naps a day.  His favorite place to nap is on our bed with my body boppy pillow has the cushion.  He will sleep for HOURS.  Don't worry, I stay with him the whole time he's napping! :-)

-He's scooting around....and by that I mean when he's on his belly and facing one way, before we know it, he's turned himself all the way around.  He also shoves his knees under his belly and pushes his butt in the air and kind of tries to hop.  He'll be moving in no time!

-He is wearing 18-24 month clothes.  Shirts I buy bigger sometimes, like 2t or 3t...one because they shrink a little and two, they are shirts so it's okay if they are a little big because then they will fit longer!


-He wears a size 4 diaper.

-He still chews his fingers CONSTANTLY.  If he isn't doing that, normally a binkie is in his mouth.


- He's learning to sit up!


-No shots this month!!  YAY!

25 things you might not know about me

Ummm so basically I'm a thief...I stole this from a friends blog, too!!  25 (how old I am) things you might not know about me.  Let's begin!!

25. When I was little (and still now, too actually) I wanted to me a hair stylist.  I dreamed of moving to LA, going to hair school there and doing celebrity hair!  Ahhh what a dream.  Well, at least I can live vicariously through on of my bffs who got to do that exact thing!!!!

24.  My life plan when I was younger was to go to college, get married when I was 26 and have kids when I was 27/28.  Well that turned out a little backwards didn't it?  Had a baby at 18, got married at 19, graduated college at 23, and had my second child at 24!  WHOO HOO!!!!

23.  For those of you who haven't read my descriptions on my blog, I'm Korean.  Not Chinese, Japanese, there are no dirty knees.  JUST KOREAN.

22.  I was adopted when I was 4 1/2 months old and lived in Hawaii until I was 2.  Lucky lady I am.

21.  I am secretly and have been since I was like 10-12 obsessed with Hanson.  Yes the music group that has easily been confused with a group of girls.  LOVE THEM.

20.  I don't nor will I ever speak "asian" so don't try speaking "asian" to me when I'm out.  It's annoying and rude.  This mostly goes out to the people under 15 and the over 60.

19.  I L.O.V.E Hello Kitty.  LOVE LOVE LOVE.  You name it, I probably have it....unless it costs over $100....then probably not.  Hair dryer?  Yes.  Sandwich maker?  Yes.  Jewelry, shirts, contact case, belly button ring, blankets, license plate frame, underwear....EVERYTHING.

18.  Dr. Pepper is my water.  Seriously.  I drink it like it's the only thing keeping me alive.  When I was pregnant I didn't drink it.....so I'm making up for lost time.

17.  When I was younger, black girls used to come up to me and feel my hair.  As a 5 year old it was quite frightening.  They were confused about why our hair looked the same, but felt different.

16.  I have a phobia of rashes or anything resembling a rash.  For example....you lay your leg on weird textured carpet, and you get up and look at your leg.  YUCK.  I will literally throw up.  The inside of a tomato as you cut it.  BARF.  I once had hives in May and wore pants and a long-sleeve shirt.  Enough said.

15.  I can't leave the house without make up on.  Doesn't matter if it's just my eyebrows (yes I fill them in), or just lipgloss.  It's just weird.

14.  I'm a superstar at Guitar Hero.  That's right.  Expert is right up my alley.  I might also add that I can totally kick Jimmy's butt in NBA Live 2010.

13.  I am an Apple NUT.  Not the fruit, but the company.  Apple Iphone, CHECK.  Apple computer CHECK.  Apple Macbook CHECK.  Apple Ipod 1st gen, nano, itouch, CHECK.  And yes I do have an Apple sticker on the back of my car thank you very much.

12.  Favorite show of all time.  F*R*I*E*N*D*S.  Favorite character Chandler.  I can tell you every episode, many lines, all characters, guest characters, pretty much everything.  And yes I do watch one episode at least once a day.

11.  My last meal in prison would be Stone Crab, filet, a giant Dr. Pepper and Tres Leches Cake.  MMMMMMMMMMMM.

10.  I'm left handed.....and so is Jimmy, Sydni, and both of my parents.  I am wondering if Liam will be, too.

9.  I am in a Ford family, so we ALL drive Fords!

8.  I was the captain of the cheerleading squad in high school.  For those who know me personally that totally fits right?

7.  My top 3 favorite movies of all time are The Notebook, Romeo and Juliet (Baz Luhrmann version), and Moulin Rouge.

6.  I'm a chronic Facebook checker.  I stalk, but in the best and nicest way.  Sounds creepy, but I swear it's not.  Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said that.  Too late.

5.  I sleep with my own blanket.  Wait, scratch that, my own comforter.  That's how selfish I am.  I won't share my blanket.

4.  I wish I had double lids, aka, regular caucasian eyelids.  Instead I have monolids.  Oh well.  I'll just live vicariously through my daughter....who has perfect beautiful eyes!!!!

3.  I have one tattoo.  It's on my lower back (yeah yeah tramp stamp) and it's a butterfly that I designed myself, which is secretly Jimmy's first two initials.  Clever huh?  Oh and I got it in high school.  Way to think long term.

2.  I wear contacts.  I have glasses, too but I hardly ever wear them because they give me a headache.  I've had glasses since I was in 2nd grade.  My vision is AWFUL.  Like -8.5 and -7.5 I think.  Yeah, I'm blind.

1.  I have 6 piercings.  2 in each ear (used to have 3 and 4 but they got infected, and my upper cartilage I just stopped wearing), my nose and my belly button.
