Outside

These days, Bean's favorite word would be "OUTSIDE". She's such a ball of energy, that we end up outside most days. She loves to run, climb, and explore. Lately, she walks in tiptoes, and tries to pull on everything with all her might. I guess we have an up and coming athlete over here! (and I know your daddy would so love that!)Her being active is the reason I dress her up a certain way. Not that I'm turning her into a boy, I just want her to be comfortable, and minimize those scratches and bruises she may get along the way. Anyway, we had lunch out with my aunts, cousins, parents, and grandparents today. This is what Bean wore:

And then we had afternoon tea with grandma, and grandpa :) 

Oh, We Love Fridays

Hi! It's Friday, and that means
We're going out on a date with
daddy :)

Looking forward to eating

playing...

and maybe...

a little bit of

retail therapy.


Have a nice weekend! :)



Love,

Not Today

The little miss is starting to scare me a bit, just today she tried having a real conversation with me. Yes, complete with hand gestures and all. (I know I really didn't catch much of her "sentences", but oh my! This one's a talker!)

It suddenly dawned on me, that time indeed comes by fast...or too fast. I remeber when I was a kid I'd fantasize about being 18, getting to go out with friends, apply some mascara and lipstick, wear heels; then at 18, I dreamed about my 20s. But today, I just want time to stop, I know it can't, so maybe just move a bit slowly.

Oh, Bean! I know we've created our little magical world when daddy's at work. Just you and me. From feeding, diaper changing, bathing, playing, napping to learning words, learning shapes, colors, drawing, singing, dancing...you and me. Our world is magical, isn't it? Right now, we're best friends.

But one day, dear Bean... Reality will sink in, and you'll grow. You'll have new friends, and you will have to go to school. And I have to pack all my love and attention, and care in your little lunch box so you could still have me with you. Our little magical world, I hope, stays with you forever, in my heart it sure will.

Time, please take a rest, will you? My little miss will sure grow up, but not today :)

Vine App

Hey! We're trying out this new app called 'Vine' where we can put up short video clips of Bean. It's much like Cinemagram.

Lovin' the Weather

I find this old photo of me quite fitting to what I am about to write today. I love the cold. I am happy whenever the sun isn't out. I love it when it rains. It gives me such comfort. I love that I can wear layers. Also, the fact that I do not, and will not be sweating, makes me feel glorious. But sometimes, I have to like the sunshine because it's the time for Bean to go out and play. Well, not today. During my husband's shifting schedules, he picks Friday as his day off. And I love Fridays because me and Bean get to spend time with him. House chores are easier, and I am able to but in more work. Add the cold weather, VOILA! Total relaxation for me. As I sit here typing, my two loves are sleeping on the bed. Yes I know, they quite enjoy the cold weather, too. Don't you?

I Miss...

Today, I miss my printer. I loved my printer, or any other printer there is! I love putting my photos into print. How I'd love to print Bean's pictures, too.

So, dear printer, what say you we get you inked? The photo papers miss you too!

Love,

J.

Terrible Twos, Maybe??

These days mama tries to get some work done, but Bean seems out of sorts. I guess they say that Terrible Twos start early!

Today...

And we also had a difficult lunch time.

Ah, I still adore you. I guess work needs to be done another time.
