wild animal park

This past Sabbath we headed down to San Diego Wild Animal Park. It was such a hot hot day, but we had so much fun. This park is so different than the San Diego Zoo, with different things for kids to do. It took Noah about 15 min. to warm up to the baby deer to feed and pet them. He's such a cute little scaredy cat! His favorite thing to look at this time were the monkeys - everytime they would jump from limb to limb, he would squeal out in laughter. His least favorite part of the day? That would be the carousel ride. He clutched on to me so tight and whined the entire ride. My favorite part? He wanted to hold hands and walk the entire time...so sweet.

it's official

She's still a she! We had our official U/S today and we're so happy to say that she looks perfect and healthy. Noah was a little scared of being in the room, so Matt couldn't stay very long, but he was able to see the baby in 3/D before he left. The technology is amazing....we got to see her sweet little mouth and nose. God truly is good!





Here's a few pictures of Noah from the past week...the weather's been so hot!


Matt's been taking Noah to the pool after he gets home from work. Here he is enjoying a snack after a swim.

His first meal at the table without his highchair tray...I'm pretty sure all he ate was the bread.


And finally, this child is already a little cleaner! He loves to point out lint on the floor, and will pick it up and go throw it in the trash. Sometimes, if his hands are dirty with food, he demands that I wipe them clean before he picks up more food. Here he is helping me get the house ready for Sabbath today...

Happy Sabbath

the shakes

Let me start out by saying that my son did not inherit the following trait from me. When Noah first started acting like this, I was so confused, but Matt was quick to tell me that he used to do all sorts of crazy things to amuse himself and others when he was really little. Whew.
Lately, when Noah wants to get attention, he tenses his little body up and shakes. He'll also do it when I ask him to do something he doesn't want to do, as a way of distracting me. We think it's pretty hysterical, and it's obvious he does as well!

will work for food

Anyone looking for a lawn boy?

visiting with family

We've had a very busy past few weeks! Noah's great grandpa from Korea came to visit, as well as aunts and cousins. We also got to see more family in Sacramento and see very good friends get married. Seeing family is so refreshing and we always leave feeling warm and fuzzy.

He got his very own seat on the flight over!

Sooo happy with the suitcase he absolutely 'had to have'....Thanks Halmuni!

new blog title needed

Most of you have already heard our good news, but for those of you who haven't...Noah is going to be a big brother! Matt and I are over the moon about our news. We had a detailed ultrasound done yesterday for a testing procedure, and I asked the ultrasound tech and the perinatal specialist (seperately) what they thought the sex was going to be. They both said without hesitation that they thought it was a girl!!! For some reason, I've been expecting another boy all along, so it's taking me some time to get used to the idea of having a girl. I have a feeling it's going to be a lot more expensive too :) I'm only about 14.5 weeks along, so we'd love it if you kept our little family in your prayers.
