Stretch Time!

So lately, as I've been sleeping through the night, I wake up in the best of moods.  I'm now not leaking through my diapers onto my mattress as mom finally got a size bigger diaper for me and we are loving the Huggies Snug n' Dry brand as it really adjusts to my body.  Its been said that Huggies are better for boys while Swaddlers are good for girls...thank goodness one of mommy's friends told her that!

I'm also getting good at grabbing things when placed on my tummy and sneaking little giggles now.  Mommy and daddy can't wait until I giggle full on.

Here I am having a good chew with Mr. Peacock.  Poor Mr. Peacock, he never did anything to me but hey, he asked for the abuse.
The following are a series of stretching moves that I do when I wake up.  Grandma Kwon thought it was the cutest thing so mom tried to catch a series of photos.  Next time, she'll hopefully video tape it so that eventually when she figures out how to put up videos, you can see what Grandma is talking about...






YEAH!

Today, I'm going to a music class with mom.  I'm probably a bit too young for it just yet but mom just wants to see how I'll react so that hopefully I can take it when I'm 6 months old.

Hope everyone has a good Thursday!

Love,
Matthew

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
