Emma's New Table

Emma has outgrown a lot of her baby toys, so I wanted to get her a big girl toy. Well, it guess it's not really a toy but a table and chairs. She likes to try to climb up on our living room furniture but since they are too tall, it's a little dangerous. I went to Ikea with my mom and one of my mom's friend. I picked out this cute table, 2 chairs and 2 stools. My mom and her friend, bought it for Emma. Emma loves her table and chairs. She will sit in one of the chairs and then ask for a snack. She truly looks like a big girl now.

"Oh yeah!!! Furniture fit for me!!"

"Mommy...can I have some Cheerios please?"

"I can get on and off the chair all by myself."

"Don't bother me...I'm working on my laptop."

"haha...just kidding. You can play with me. I'm not really working."

"I like to look at books while sitting in my chair too."

"It's Mommy and Daddy in this picture. This is a picture of us when I was born in the hospital."

Look How Much We've Grown

The other day, we had a playdate over Nicholas' house. Emma and Nick are a week apart and Isabella is a few months older. The kids have grown up so much over the year. They are all walking around, talking and finally interacting with each other. When they were younger, they just did their own thing when we had playdates. Now, they play together.

"Everyone learn to share with each other."

"Hey Nick...why did Isabella flip the music table over?"

"This ball is the perfect size for our small hands. Don't you think?"

Emma and Nick are about a month old in this picture. This was the kids' first playdate together.

Now look how much they have grown. In a couple of months, we'll add an infant to the group with Joshua. Nick will have a boy buddy.

Swimming with Daddy

Emma loves the water so we took her to our community pool a few weeks ago. She went swimming with her Daddy.

"Hey kid...do you mind not splashing around near me? I'm still a beginner."

"Daddy to the rescue or do I need to rescue Daddy?"

"Daddy...where did you go? You know you're not supposed to leave me unattended."

"Gotcha! Why do you have 4 eyes? Let me help you get rid of them."

"Ooops...sorry Daddy. I poked your real eyes."

"I'm going to get you Daddy. Maybe one day, I'll beat Michael Phelps' record."

"Oh look...it's an orange ball. What do you think of my new bikini? Grandma Paik bought it for me."

"Mommy...I got the ball. It's so small."

"Look at my form. Do you think I should tryout for the water polo team? My cousins in California play water polo."

"Uncle Henry, you have to go over there for me to pass you the ball."

Emma on the Potty

Last month, I started potty training Emma. I know, I know...it's very early. Most kids don't start until they are about 2 and a half years old. Emma just turned 15 months. I don't have a strict schedule. I only put her on her little potty in the mornings when she wakes up. She's been pretty good about going pee pee in her potty in the mornings. I can't seem to time it right during the day and I don't want to stress her out with the whole potty training thing since it is a bit early. The first day Emma used her potty was July 28th.

"Mommy...I just woke up. I haven't even had the chance to get the eye boogies out. What are you doing to me?"

"Yeah!!! I went pee pee in the potty. I'm a big girl now."
