Before I forget. He is 13 1/2 monts old.B took three steps to me all by himself tonight. Twice. This was right before I put him in bed for the night. And before I forget, I wanted to jot it down. It was quite exciting of course. Figures it would be the one time I didn't have my iPhone nearby to capture his first steps. Oh well...maybe he'll try again tomorrow. I rather wish he'd keep practicing going downstairs instead. that would be easier on my arms and back. :-p
On another note, I just joined Pinterest. I don't know what I'm doing yet, but I do know that this can be very addictive. This may impede my ability to read all of my google reader posts. Oiy.

My li'l guy has been under the weather for a few weeks now. I started him on an antibiotic this week. His mommy and daddy haven't been 100% either. It's hard to keep your germs to yourself when all you want to do is hug and love on this...

Tyin' the Knot!
Haha! That's the name of my nail polish that I'm currently loving :-) I already tied the knot back in 2004 in case you were wondering :-p
I keep looking at my nails (although my hands are so tired looking) so I figured I'd just blog it. I think the color is rather hip and i'm pretty unhip most of the time. Also, this is my attempt at more frequent blogging, lol!
Anyhoo, I picked up this polish the other night while it was 50% off so it was $2.50. Ahhh...I love a good deal. And that's way better than the $8 for OPI polish that I splurge on.
Anyhoo---happy hump day folks!

Waiting
Our entire family has been quite under the weather lately. After almost two weeks of runny noses, congestion, and coughing...I took both B and myself to our doctors on Thursday. B was a very patient boy waiting at both his doctor's office lobby and mine. 
3rd cut
Here's B getting his 3rd haircut ever from his granny. He looks much older than a 13 month old here.

36
I turned 36 this past weekend. I really cannot believe how fast the years have flown by. 35 was a very fun year...mainly b/c of my new baby boy I was with everyday. I'm sure this year will be just as fun.
Hubby helped me celebrate by getting Benjamin a babysitter so that he and I could go catch a movie together for the first time since B was born. We went to see "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" and the added bonus? We watched it on IMAX. That definitely was a neat experience. I should have made DH take me to see Twilight's "Breaking Dawn" instead...I would've loved watching that for a third time :-)
After the movie, we enjoyed a nice dinner with Benjamin and his babysitters-his favorite Uncle Jae and Auntie Jina and cousin Madison. We went back to a Brazilian steakhouse that hubby and I tried out about a month ago for the first time. Needless to say, it was delicious :-D
On the day before my bday, I met up with my closest girlfriends at my favorite tex-mex place...Chuy's of course.
And on the day after my bday, we had a late lunch at my MIL's home.
My favorite gift? The external flash for my camera that I had on my wish list :-) that comes in later this week. Can't wait!
Maybe this'll be the year I finish up some of my scrapbooking projects. Maybe I can finish at least 36 pages?!?! A girl can dream, right?
Here are a couple of pics...then it's time to give my fingers a break...blogging from my iPhone is not a comfortable thing to do. But I must try to keep up with this blog this year. Wish me luck with that!!!

already been a month?!
dood. i know i'm no good at this blogging thing...why do i still try to do it then? i think i must just have a bunch of random thoughts going around and need an outlet to put them sometimes :) i had written out a short update and then tried to add some pics...but blogger was not being friendly and did something weird to the photos. but i'm going to try again anyhoo.
what have i been up to i'm sure you're not wondering...lol...well let me share anyways :D starting from where i left off a month ago. i started preparing for B's 1st birthday. coming up with a theme seemed to be the most daunting task...but at the end of the day I really thought "bears" would be a good idea, especially since i'm always calling him "benny bear" or "benjamin bear" or "sugar bear" etc...you get the idea. anyhoo...upon creating the evite (yes, i'm that budget friendly...an unemployed you know)...well i came across this cute bear design and hence "Benjamin's Beary 1st Birthday Party" was on it's way to coming to fruition.
being 1/2 Korean, we were planning to through the traditional "dohl" or "1st birthday party" for our little guy. we ending up choosing our neighborhood clubhouse as the venue and we were going to just order food and bring it there. the biggest drawback about having his party there was simply the occupancy limit. the dining area could only hold up to 60 ppl comfortably and so our guestlist was very much limited. there were so many folks that were a part of his 1st year of life that i soooo wanted to invite but wasn't able to do the the limited number of people that we could invite. lately, we've been to several "dohl" events that looked almost like weddings. hubby and i really didn't want to do anything so grand but rather keep it small and casual and the clubhouse was about as small and casual as i could get it. anyhoo...it all went well and although B might not remember the party ever...we will have plenty of pics for him to look at later on and i will have the memories of my bubba's 1st birthday party. here are some pics (fingers crossed i can upload without issues)...
well...nevermind...i'm having issues with uploading pics. why?!
hmmm...why can't i be web design savvy...then maybe i could use a different format for my blog. maybe i should just go back to xanga....it was so easy and user friendly. i'm going to try there with my pics...and if that doesn't work, i'm hitting the sack. i'm actually quite tired...but after trying to catch up with my google reader blogs i was feeling inspired to update. now i've hit a snag. boo. maybe i can only update from my phone from now on. we shall see :)
