birthday

it was my birthday not too long ago and just want to say thanks to everyone for the cards, gifts, texts, fb messages, flowers in the mail ;) and calls. i really appreciate every little thing. thank you!

caleb is majorly teething! he has 8 teeth and it's been awhile since he has gotten any new ones. but now, 8 new ones are coming in altogether! he has a slight fever and is a little fussier than usual, but still a good boy. poor guy, it must be irritating!

we don't know if caleb really understands the concept of a baby in mommy's tummy, but he is so sweet, he hugs and kisses my tummy all the time and says "baby." even if he doesn't quite understand, it still makes me happy :)

i am going to be 6 months (24 weeks) next week. i can't believe it...
the little guy is moving a lot these days and my tummy is definitely getting bigger and bigger. we are still kind of having trouble with names, but i think it'll come to us as the time gets closer.

my lower back or sciatic nerve is killing me this time! sometimes i even have trouble walking without limping a bit. i try to stretch and it helps, but man...it's painful. hope it subsides soon.

well, here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks.

caleb playing with the water table...playing with blocks while wearing daddy's tie...
ok, so this picture is the story behind my broken camera :( i took caleb to play with rocks at the beach and my friend was taking pictures of us. caleb had so much fun throwing rocks into the water that i thought it was so cute. i turned around and let go of caleb for a few seconds (literally) to get the camera from my friend because i wanted pictures of caleb playing...

while i was reaching for the camera, caleb had ran into the water excitedly and got swept away! he seemed so far out. he was in a panic and struggling in the water. i was freaking out! so, i swam into the water to get him, with my camera in my hand. we were both soaking wet and crying when i got him out of the water. my flip flop broke and we both had minor scrapes from the rocks. devestating experience and it goes to show you can't take your eyes off your child at all!

therefore, for my birthday, my wonderful hubby and siblings got me a new camera :) i'm so happy, thank you! but i do miss my old one though.
caleb was happy in the car that day...
at a bbq with daddy...
we love playing with his hair during bath time!
he always falls asleep in the car after a long sunday at church...such a big boy now!
throwing rocks with daddy
some father and son time...
it's so bright!
don't know why caleb is fascinated with rocks :) but it's fun to see him play.
i tried to get a picture with him, but of course, his eyes were closed...or is he just smiling? when we ask him to smile, he shuts his eyes and squints his nose...
i love this picture that someone from church took of him!
jun and i had a date night on my birthday! two lovely ladies volunteered to babysit for us :) they are so good with caleb that we didn't think twice :)
prime rib, well done of course...for the prego lady :) oh, and there's the loaded baked potato :) yum!
mud pie for dessert!
sunset at a park after dinner.
when we came home, a few of the girls from church surprised me for my bday...balloons filled the house...cupcakes, a banner, and a gift :) thank you! it was very unexpected.

here's jun, me, caleb, and baby brother :) haha...
yummy cupcakes...
enjoying the cupcakes :)

thanks again, everyone.
