Daddy and I

Since dad and mom usually take my pictures, you don't see them much on my blog. Therefore, dad wanted to make sure he got some good shots with me before I get big so here are some shots with dad.

These first two pictures here are warm up shots. I needed to make sure mom and dad were paying attention to me.

Dad and I share a moment.

Posing in front of our new painting with my hoodie on. Then one picture without my hoodie so you can see my nice round head. Do you think I look like daddy?

This is my Jabba the Hut pose from Jedi although I am definitely not as fat and ugly as Jabba. *roar*

I love being in daddy's arms. Smiling a little bit and then some more...

That's all I could handle before I got hungry!

Love,
Matthew

It's been a while

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've updated as I've been a very busy baby. This past Friday I went to a birthday party for my parent's friend, Gerry. Mom carried me in her sling and I slept for most of the party until around 10PM when I awoke and could not stop staring at everyone at the party! Then on Saturday I went to see Grandma and Grandpa Kwon along with the great grandparents and my mom's Aunt and Uncle Im at a Korean restaurant in Flushing. On Sunday after mass, I went to Aunt Emily and Uncle Kevin's place for a brunch. There I met mom's friends including Jen Shin, Jen Park, Sarah Keh, Sarah Kim and Chris Paugh, Alison and Shannon (she came all the way from Boston!). We had a great time and I was such a good boy entertaining everyone while they held me.

Mom went to her ob post partum visit yesterday and everything looks good. I finally got to thank Dr. Gerlach for delivering me into the world. She commented on how cute I was! Mom was given the okay to exercise so its time for her to hit the gym. She has 20lbs to lose!!

Here are some pictures of what I've been up to since that's all you really care about anyway! I'm definitely getting bigger as I'm fitting into some 3-6 months clothing and my diapers are definitely tight. I think I'm going to be wearing the size up soon! :)

I've been doing a lot of smiling and talking, especially when mom and dad read me books.

I'm very content here...and the next face, I'm not sure what I'm doing but mom gets a kick out of it whenever she sees it..

The following four pictures are a series that makes my mom crack up. I've obviously shopped and am hanging the shopping bag on my arm. Mom says its good practice for when I get a girlfriend and I have to hold her bags. You see, I'm slowly losing my center of gravity in the next picture ... and yes, that's my mom foot in the right bottom corner!

Definitely lost my center of gravity now....and look where I ended up!? And of course, mom thinks it's hilarious and does not pick me up but instead takes pictures.

Here I am in my outfit from Grandma Kim. Daddy thinks I look like a priest here and mom calls my outfit my shirtdress. Dad does not like references to dresses when I'm in them so mom had to get me out of it quickly thereafter...

This past Monday, I finally got my passport application in. Mom and dad tried to take my passport photos themselves, however, they eventually had to get it done at a photo lab as they couldn't get my face to look head on with both ears visible. For your enjoyment, you can see some of the samples that dad took here.

And these were mom's samples. I think mom's came out better although my background is a bit ghetto as she used 4 pieces of paper to make the background white .. hee hee.

Then of course, my mom decided that I should take a Dumbo picture. The picture next to it is me modeling my new newsboy hat that I'm still too small for.

Its turned a bit cold in New York so I haven't been able to go out for walks too much with mom the past few days. However, we finally went out today for some fresh air and I loved it.

Time to go eat now!

Love,
Matthew

What's Up?

Hi Everyone,

As you can see, I've been growing quite a bit. I'm almost 7 weeks old now and am so cute my dad is thinking of sending my pictures into the Ford model agency. I told him I should probably start with the folks at Gerber or Pampers as Dolce might not have something as appropriate for my adorable face.

Yes, I'm standing -- but do you see on what? haha.

Hi mommy....I love you!

This was the day I was supposed to go and get my passport photos done. However, I was not cooperative so now my dad has to figure out how to take them while lying me on the floor. But thank goodness I'm so cute, otherwise dad would have yelled at me for sure...

This is an outfit my dad picked out for me. The bum is the best part!!

A close up just in case you missed it! :) hee hee.

Love,
Mattheiu

All in a weekend...

This past Saturday, I went to my first wedding. My Aunt Janet's sister, Eunice, got married to Tim in Tenafly, New Jersey. Eunice looked beautiful and the ceremony was really nice. My Uncle Dennis sang a duet for the special song with Yoon Jung, who also sang at Uncle Dennis and Aunt Janet's wedding.

On Sunday, my mom's Ahjae and his wife came to visit me. They thought my feet were the cutest part of me -- hee hee.

Here is the whole gang but mom was obviously not ready and neither was Grandpa Kwon. The second time around, we were all ready.

Grandpa Kwon with his spiffy bow tie, Grandma Kwon, mom and I.

Me with Uncle Dennis and Aunt Janet. Aunt Janet is due at the end of May and she was one of the bridesmaids. She looked stunning and is the most adorable pregnant lady. This is the last time we will see them before Baby Kwon is born. We wish them the best of luck with the delivery as I can't wait to meet my cousin soon!!

Uncle Dennis trying to calm me by bouncing me to some hip hop song...eeebers.

That morning, daddy was just taken with how cute I looked while I was sleeping. You see my legs, they fold up like that up to my stomach and make me really compact. This is how I was hanging for the last few months in mom's belly.

Here I am in an outfit from some of dad's Canadian friends with a football from Aunt Nancy and Uncle Tejpal.

Lastly, I was going to pull Mr. Ed in my cart but mom took too long taking the picture so I got a bit upset.

That was my busy weekend! Hope you all had a great one.

Finally!

Today I start my 7th week -- can you believe it? Time has flown so fast. I made a new friend today with Curious George. I found him digging through our shelves so I decided to befriend him. You can see that we fast became great friends and he even held my hand.

Sheepish grins...eventually turn into a SMILE! :)

Here are some more silly pictures and finally in a new outfit. Grandma Kwon requested that I get a wardrobe change as she was getting tired of looking at my photos in the same clothes...talk about demanding Grandma! -- just kidding!!

Have a good weekend everyone!
