Our 1st Family Road Trip in a week's time

As the time gets closer, I am really looking forward to going on our first "big" family vacation. On this family trip, we will be heading to San Deigo and Los Angeles (7D6N), it is to celebrate our cheeky boy's a year a half birthday and advance mother's day. 

We are in for a real treat. We are set to see Xavier's favorite Disney Jr characters (winnie the pooh, goofy, mickey mouse etc) Yep, definitely this one is a big hit! 

Favorite pic of the day!

First taste of Braum ice cream


Braum's has really good ice cream and is so much cheaper than other ice cream chains like Ben and Jerry's or Marble Slab.
We had a double dip cone for only $1.99
Xavier loves strawberries so had a scoope of real, red delicious strawberry
and a scope chocolate chip for hubby
Needless to say, we enjoyed it!

Day 36 - We're so glad when papa comes home...


Day 36 - 22 April Monday

Xavier really was so glad when papa got home
The way he reacted really makes me think he loves him more than me
Oh well, he was not the only one who's happy when papa got home 
Super excited to capture cheeky boy's reaction
Xavier shouted papa twice before Hubby appeared infront of him
At first, he was a little taken aback
next, he ran over to him and gave me a big hug
Aww~~~ Super sweet!
He could barely contain his happiness 
and started showing papa his new tricks and toys

There was a whole-lotta-luv in this household when papa got home
We were all giddy and smiley and happy to be together again....

Day 32 - 18 months photo shoot

 Day 32 - 18 Apr Thursday

At 18 months old, I decided to get some nice shoots for my little cheeky boy
With the current promo at Target, it comes with free sitting and one free 8R traditional portrait, so I thought why not so I called them and booked an appointment. 

I have a great studio experience
The staff was very patient and good at what she does 
Got some great shots considering the challenge with my boy
Definitely will go back for more! 










Day 31 - 18 months old well check


Day 31 - 17 Apr, Wednesday 

Went for his 18 months well check as well as Hep A vaccine
He weighed 24lbs and 33 1/4 inches tall
That puts in the 70th percentile for height and 20th percentile for weight
Doc said he was growing and gaining pounds just fine
Xavier's always been long and lean! 
The doctor checked him over and said he looks perfect
He has met all his milestones even verbally
Yippi! 

Xavier now can hold a pen and imitates scribbling 
He starting to hold the pen between the thumb and first 3 fingers 
So cute!!!!

Day 26 - Xavier is a year and a half!

Little boy, you are 18 months old today! Happy half birthday!

They” say that parenting just keeps getting better and better and they grow and turn into little people, and they are right! It has been a glorious past 18 months, and the best is yet to come!

 As I was trying to think of what to share my mind just kept going back to how much fun you we have together. My heart seriously bursts with love just thinking about your cuteness!!!
 
I cherish all the moments I get being home with you. I'm loving you as a little friend although sometimes I miss you as a baby. You are smart and funny and friendly and so beautiful. I love you!!!!!

Our kisses to papa!
We miss you

Well I thought that I got away with the diarrhea. I was wrong!
It's getting from bad to worst
my stomach was churning non stop 
Thanks Yanwen for getting medicine for me - Imdoium works great for me!
Thanks heavens, I'm all healed now!
