parenthood

caleb is getting more and more fun. he is awake a lot more and responds to much more as well. it is so fun watching the day by day development.

out of the blue the other day, jun said to me, "i love being a father." when i heard that, i was so touched. i thought about it and it is true. parenthood, as difficult as it is, is truly wonderful. i love being a mom too. what people say about never being able to imagine how much you could love your baby...is so true. the love you feel cannot be put into words. i wonder how many times i hear jun say "i love you" to caleb each day. all i know is, i hear it a lot. i began to think about how much i love caleb when he was sleeping on my shoulder and i loved hearing him breathe! haha...

this then...leads to my next point...

i am dreading going back to work. i was so sad just thinking about leaving caleb when i go back to work in a month. 3 1/2 months just flew by. i actually had tears in my eyes talking about it with jun. but i guess for now, i'll just enjoy the time i do have with him. we can't imagine doing this parenting without each other. we'd be twice as tired as we are now. we've got this teamwork thing going and it's great. we're enjoying it and growing as a couple at the same time.

our blog makes it seem like caleb is an angel and never cries...haha...well, he is an angel...but he does cry. when he cries, he screams! it's so loud and sometimes we can't handle it, but once he calms down, we are back to "aww, you're so cute!"

2 months

we are trying to update on a weekly basis.  so far, we're doing pretty good, huh?  i wonder if we could keep this up.  caleb is now 2 months this week.  we love when he makes eye contact and he's been smiling a lot more.  man...melts your heart.  we found out that he likes to be held and falls asleep more easily when we do that, which is not a good habit for him to form.  so...we are trying to break that habit.  but the baby carrier has been great,we can keep him close but have our hands free.  what a wonderful invention!  we, of course, took so many pictures again this week and we're choosing some for you all to enjoy :)  

as for us...we are still so tired and busy.  although we stay home most of the time, we're so busy with the little one and each day just flies by.  we are trying to take advantage of this time and go more places just to get out and get some air. it's really stuffy being inside all day just taking care of caleb.  so, a few days ago we went to walk around at huntington beach with the baby carrier.  caleb slept the whole time!  he is seriously so cooperative when we do go out!  we walked on the pier and enjoyed the sunset. it was great to be out.  this week, we're going to try to go out more, we'll see if that happens.  

alright, here are the pics! 

dan and angel visited us and brought us corner bakery for dinner

at huntington beach with the baby carrier

enjoying our time at the pier...
before going home...right after sunset.  caleb got cut off in this pic :(
his hoodie and socks match :)  all ready to go out!
look how he fell asleep on our bed...knocked out!  jun had to get a shot of this...haha...

caleb was so snug in this carrier, maybe that's why he slept so well!
the beautiful, relaxing beach...it did wonders for our sanity!  it was jun's great idea to go out, thank god we did!

family shot... just to show you how comfy he looked...
it was perfect...holding my baby and looking out at the ocean.  so peaceful.  i'm glad jun captured it.

no, he can't sit up yet.  we just put him in the corner because he looks so cute there.  

uh-oh! falling over!
this is his favorite way to be held by daddy...over the shoulder.  he's starting to look around so much!

he was in such a good mood that morning according to jun.  he was playing with daddy while mommy got some rest.  

my baby... such curious eyes...i love it...so i got a couple of shots. this look just takes my breath away...   he actually stares at the camera now...yay!  we can get better shots with his cooperation :) last one for the week...see you next time!
