Weekend in Atlanta to see Ge-Ya, Uncle Cole, Granpa and Gran-ma Rebecca. First stop, Zoo Atlanta! The weather was yet perfect again this day so we wanted to do something outdoors. The tickets were not cheap ($22 a person X 3 is over $60!!) So we got online to see if there's any coupon discount. Kept seeing coupon for $3 or $5 off but none of the links were good to print them... so Max and Gloria gave up and I decided to keep looking. It's a good thing that I did because not only did I find something, I found it to be FREE for all of us! How? Let me tell ya! I found a mom who posts blogs and she mentioned that the local libraries have the zoo video and you can rent them and get a free family pass..However, it's so popular, it's rarely available to check out because everyone wants to go to the zoo for free. I thought to myself, can this be real? So I called the library and sure enough, they knew exactly what I was talking about. The first one we called was checked out and she was really nice to let me know what other ones may have it. There was only one option left and so we called just hoping they would have it.... and the rest is history! They had it, held it for us and we went to the zoo for FREE!! I still can't believe it!
Friday fun day with Mommy! The weather was gorgeous for winter in January! So I had to take advantage and take him outside to play. We spent about an hour out in the front yard and watched some workers work on our neighbor's house. He kept waving at them and would say hi every 5 minutes. This would have to be my favorite picture of the month. He heard an airplane go by and had to find it in the sky and this is what I captured with my camera! I love him so much!!
Photo Booth fun! To tell you the truth, we had a long day at work so when I got home, didn't feel like taking out my camera so I just used my phone for picture of the day. It's a cool app for the iPhone4. He's eating cereal for dinner in this picture - healthy i know!
I bought these blocks when Graham was just a few months old. He showed little interest in them back. A few weeks ago, he started playing with them and has been having fun with them ever since. He likes to stack them as high as he can and knock them over with his feet. He asks for help sometimes to make them stack even higher! We didn't know this but he can count to 10 in English and Spanish! So he will count them as he stacks them (in both languages). I guess I will have to teach him to count in Chinese too!!
Graham has some new pj's! Daddy picked these out all by himself, aren't they cute?? Graham was watching some Barney before asking me to take him to bed. He's getting so verbal with us and it's amazing how much he can communicate with us these days. Just to give you another example - he fell on some stairs at school last week and has a bruise on his face and when you look at it or touch it, he'll say, "I hit head on stairs". I mean, what a smart kid!! :) I love the fact that he will tell us to take him to bed because he's tired! I don't why but I believe I'm been blessed with a smart kid. Granted we have our bad days but he definitely has more good days than bad! I love my kid... more and more every day!
Graham loves bath time but sometimes reluctant to get in the bath tub. Once he's in and settled down, he usually will love to stay in the bath for hours if we would let him. He's heard us say 5 more minutes so many times that he knows to say that when we ask if he's ready to get out. "5 more minutes, mommy". It's cute to hear him say it but he won't follow what he says... None the less, I had to get some bath shots (probably will see a lot of these through the year). He was so funny because every time I took a picture, he would ask to see it and just laugh! His favorite toys in the bath are: hippo, penguin, red cup and boat. He'll occasionally play with ducky.. :)
