My First Picnic!

This past weekend, I went on my first picnic with some of my parents friends.  We were all to bring lunch items to share and lounge in Central Park.  Although the weather was very hot and muggy, we all had a nice time and at one point all three babies had to go naked!  On Sunday, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Kwon's house for partial Father's Day.  I got to hang out with Grandma Kwon and boy was she entertaining!  We also made a trip to Costco and I got to join in on some of the fun...

Leggo my Eggos! 

Here are Paula and Ryan with Lucy (4 1/2 months) and Annie and Paul with Elsa (1 1/2 months).

Here are the Kimbos!!  Look at my chest hair...

And here are all three mamas!!

Hope everyone had a great Father's Day!

Love,

Matthew

Happy Anniversary!

This weekend was my parent's first wedding anniversary and they celebrated in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I was lucky enough to tag along with them and boy did we all have fun. I went swimming, took walks with them by the beach and ate at nice restaurants. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton hotel and they were very kid-friendly. They had a crib sent up to our room for my naps and I even had a small crib by the poolside so I could snooze while my parents got drinks, cooled down in the pool, read books and relaxed.

This was during one of our night walks after dinner. Mommy wanted me to play with the fountain but instead, we got all wet! In the second picture, we stole the lifeguard buoy since no one was around at nighttime by the pool -- hee hee.

Look at my neck muscle skills now! It's hard for us to take family pictures so this was my dad's attempt at getting us all in the frame -- not bad!?

Daddy and I on the beach. It was fun!

Anyone want a towel?

Here I am at Il Mulino with Daddy and Mommy. Dad was trying to offer me some wine but I was more interested in the bread on the table. The second shot was actually on our last morning where we had breakfast before heading to the airport.

Again, I tried to have some beer but mommy took it away from me. The second picture says, what are you looking at?

Daddy and I on the beach. If you look closely you'll see that I have dimples on both sides -- just like daddy! Look at the sand castle we built!

Daddy and I hanging out in the pool. Do you like my cool hat?

Lounging by the poolside while mommy tells me jokes....hee hee..she's funny.

WHAT SAID!? haha.

You see my belly button?? sexy....

Here I am surfing on one of the floaties. And of course, the next picture is of Daddy and I eating -- well only me eating, but I'm more important -- haha.

More pool fun.....I think mommy enjoyed the pool more than I did...

This was during our walk in Old San Juan...

Here we are at Raices eating the oh so good mofungo. Mofungo is mashed plantains with any kind of meat. We got one with beef and another with mahi mahi. It was very yummy and mommy and daddy ate it all up!? During our walk in Old San Juan a salsa festival was going on and the streets were packed with people dancing and perusing the stands that were selling all kinds of crafts.

Here I am modeling the couch in our hotel room.

This one is for Grandma Kwon. She wanted to make sure I wore my sunglasses. And the next picture is me wearing my robe. I figured since mommy and daddy got one I should also wear mine.

This was our bed (actually mommy and daddy's bed). soooo comfy...

Open your eyes!....much better!

Okay, that's it for now. I hope you all stayed cool as I heard it was hot in New York.

Love,
Matthew

3 month checkup!

Today I went for my 3 month checkup. We found out that I am now 13lbs 8ozs (56th percentile) and 24.3 inches long (62nd percentile). My head circumference is 39.2cm (10th percentile). The doctor said that the small head is okay and nothing to be worried about and mommy reassured me that Einstein had a small head so I must be headed towards greatness..haha.

I got 2 shots (HIB and Hepatitis B - 2nd shot). Therefore, when my aunts all came over (Soojin, Beatrice and Agnes), I was a bit cranky and not my usual playful self. Hopefully I'll be better when I meet up with them next time. I was sad we couldn't have dinner at my great aunt's house but mom and dad had too much to prepare for their anniversary trip.

Mom and dad are now frantically packing away as I snooze before we leave for Puerto Rico. My first plane trip!! I can't wait....

Little kisses,
Matthew

Almost 3 months!

Long time no see everyone!! Life has been hectic as mommy finds more things for me to do and people for me to meet. Last Sunday, we had brunch with Elsa (Annie and Paul's daughter) and Jacob (Samir and Sheliza's son) at Dos Caminos. It was such a nice day that we all went for a stroll after brunch. Then after we came back, mom, dad and I went swimming in our pool. The water was a bit cold but I handled it well and even glided along in the pool with mommy and daddy. I even got to take a hot shower with daddy after to warm up! :)

This past Tuesday, I had playgroup and boy was it fun. We had a full house of about 10 mothers. I was the only one blabbing along but all my other baby friends are smiling now so its much more fun. Next time, mommy is going to take a picture of us all lined up so you can meet some of my friends!

I will be 3 months on Friday! Can you believe that? Time flies...sheesh.

Here I am enjoying my new attachment toy mom bought me to help with my coordination. If you look closely in my mouth it looks like 2 teeth, but its actually just milk I'm sloshing around in my mouth -- hee hee.

This is mommy trying to make me pose for a cute shot. However, I wasn't really in the mood to smile so mom had to deal with a cute but no smile shot under the covers. The next picture is me snoozing in my Bugaboo.

Look at me in the Bumbo! My neck is getting stronger and sitting up is getting a bit more stable as you can see.

Here I am practicing my neck muscles during tummy time on my new activity mat. My hair in front is also starting to grow in, although I have a strip of hair falling out in the back -- I hope it grows back soon! Do you see my drool in the second picture -- haha! Mom thinks I'm getting teeth soon as I keep drooling lately!

Today, I went to see mom's friend Anj and finally met Mia and Arianna. Here is Mia (2.5 years old) eating some nuts while I lend an ear. The next picture, Mia was consoling me telling me not to cry -- awww.

Here is Mia's younger sister, Arianna (7 months). You see, at first she wasn't interested, then she looked my direction.....

and just could not resist striking up a conversation...yeah, she wants me!

Tomorrow, I go in for my 3 month check up! I hope I gained some weight and hopefully my shots won't be so bad (I have 2! :(..). Also, I go on my first plane trip on Friday as mom and dad are celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary in Puerto Rico. I'm very excited to go swimming and go on some adventures finally!

My cousin, Leah is growing a lot. I really want to meet her as Uncle Dennis sent us a video of her. She's a great gal...and I gotta keep her real and tell her how it is in New York so she is reminded that life is not all about palm trees and sun.

Okay, time to go to bed.

xoxo (no, I'm not gossip girl!)
