Photoshoot @ May's

We went to May's place near Blossom Hill for a photoshoot.  I haven't met May before but she is kind enough to invite us for a photoshoot.  She had a home studio setup to take pictures of her LO, so we got some pretty nice shots.

I didn't take any props to the photoshoot besides Aaron's new favorite stuffed animal. For some reason he really likes the doggie I got him and plays with it whenever he sees it. I am thinking to get him another one just in case he loses this one. :)

Music class trial @ The Muscial Minds

Aaron went to his first music class trial besides Gymboree. There were many babies there today and Aaron seemed to enjoy the music class.  He is finally more active and crawl to the toys/music instruments.  I still remember he used to just sit there and wait for the toys to come to him.  It's amazing to see him actually interested in the toys and go for them. He is still not as aggressive as other kids and would just grab the toys closest to him, but I guess he will eventually learn to pick something he likes instead of the leftovers. It was such a fun class today and we look forward to another music class soon.

Carmel trip

We went to Carmel for a short day trip this weekend.  Aaron has been to the ocean many times since he was born and I think he likes hanging out at the beach like mama. Too bad the water is always cold even in the summer, otherwise Aaron can try to get into the water. :) We walked around the China Cove and hung out at the Pebble Beach a little bit.  It was a nice relaxing day, wish daddy has more time to take us to different places.

1 year checkup

I can't believe Aaron just had his 1 year checkup this morning.  He has been going to the same doctor's office numerous time in his first year of life.  I think he definitely knows the doctor's office is not a fun place as he never smiles when he's there. He never liked the doctor or the nurses when he always gets checked and poked there (ouch!).

The nurse mentioned to schedule his 1 year checkup after his birthday party as he might be down for a few days after the shots, but Aaron seems totally fine after 3 shots.  He cried for a minute or two and he was ready to play again. What a tough kid! :) I hope Aaron does not ever have to come back to the doctor's office besides regular check up. We have been to this office way too much and I think we have enough scary dr's appointments.

Happy 1st Birthday!

My baby is turning one today. I can't believe how fast time flies and he is already 1.  This little guy has been in my life for 365 days and I can never get tired of hanging out with him.  We went to the Rose Garden today with grandma and the Eilam's family to have a little celebration after the big party last week.  It was small and stress free.  Aaron got to try out his new tricycle (courtesy of Grandma M) and he loves it!

I got him a small cake to smash and Aaron went right at it.  He finally had his first sweet and finished the entire slice of cake. :) Aaron also changed into his hanbok and picked the hammer (to be a judge, yay!).  All I want for Aaron is to have a happy healthy life. Happy Birthday my sweetie!
