Bringing back the MC Hammer pants craze!

The PJs are too big for her but I didn’t want to disturb her and change her again. Iris slept without a swaddle all night and ended up in some funny positions like this. Too cute.

If forgotten that I had a Hello Kitty wrist rattle. Our nanny found it and put it around Iris’ ankle since it was too big for her wrist. It was so funny watching her kick her leg and concentrating on the rattle as it made sound each time.

Taking a break from playing.

Today was Grandpa Tam’s birthday so we all met up for dinner, a song, and cake. Simon was super excited all day since we told him there would be cake. Plus he loves to help blow out the candles. He hasn’t mastered blowing them all out in one breath but he tries his best. He kinda blows through his teeth still so we will have to have him practice more before his birthday.

Happy birthday Dad!

The mornings with two kids can be tiring but smiles like this definitely reenergizes me.

I asked Simon to help choose an outfit for Iris as we were getting ready to go downstairs for breakfast. He rifled through the drawer and pulled this out. He said Oh! It’s Hello Kitty! I love Hello Kitty! Hehe, my kids like Hello Kitty, I’ve taught them well…

Yes, that is Iris sucking her thumb. She loves her thumb over the pacifier. When we see her sucking her thumb, we change to the pacifier but eventually she goes back to her thumb. We will just have to see how this plays out.

Fallen asleep on my lap.

Bubble bath time with silly Simon.

Iris really likes her Hello Kitty rattle. When she hears it, she will turn towards the sound. She can’t reach up to it yet but looks inquisitively at it wondering why it stops or moves suddenly? Such a tease!

Simon’s nose is healing well. The scab is already off but we are still putting antibiotic ointment on with a bandage to keep it from scarring.

Simon was quite the fussy boy today and we almost didn’t go swimming because he was acting out. He was screaming in the house, pulling my hair and clothes, did not nap, peed in his underwear, running into me really hard… But he loves swim class so much and almost always has a great time.

Although the teacher gave him timeout today, he eagerly waited to be let back into the pool. This group of teachers are more strict which is probably better for Simon because then he listens more.

Check out Iris’ chubby arm!
