Me & my mini :) Mommy&me bracelets from http://etsy.com/shop/kokonatto #jewelry #bracelets #armparty #chain #motherhood #daughter #etsy #kokonatto
So on Sunday, Gwen Stefani released a new line at Target called Harajuku Mini! I hopped on that rack (sounds wrong) that day of the release & let me say, these particular hoodies were practically GONE at the different Targets I visited. I bought this hoodie for Aubrey in her size, but the one in the picture is size 9 months (for girls and boys). So if any of you moms or dads are interested, I have it listed up in my eBay :) It’s so soft & warm & so darn cute!
Today was Aubrey’s 1st birthday party. Our little princess had so much fun. Thank you to everyone who made it so special for her. More pictures to come soon :)
My family’s pretty awesome.
So my best friend Janelle buys this football for the guys to throw at the beach, but it ended up being too windy. So.. Dylan automatically assumed it was for him. He literally did not let go of the football the entire day; he SLEPT with it.
Any mommies need a cute pirate costume for your little toddler this Halloween? I have a discontinued Old Navy Pirate Costume, size 18-24 months. I freaking love the coat & the quality is unbelievable for a toddler costume! It’s obviously better than any coat I own, heh. The only thing missing is the HAT! Which Dylan lost while walking when we were trick-or-treating last year.
Dylan wore this costume last Halloween; it’s nice & clean & ready to go to another cute baby :) I was about to list it on eBay, but I figured I’d ask you ladies first, if any are interested. These go for A LOT online, like $30-50 depending where you shop. But I’m not trying to make a huge profit so feel free to shoot me an offer…I’ll consider anything reasonable, I’m not that greedy! If no one’s interested, well, then I’ll just list it up on eBay over the weekend.
Dylan & Aubrey are meant to be siblings; how ironic is it that they’re doing the same exact facial expression in each photo?!
It took a couple nights making draft after draft, but I think I’m finished! I can’t wait for her party :)
Dylan’s definitely reached his high point of terrible two’s, but I’ve always put my foot down with him. I can’t stand seeing parents (like when we go out to the store or something) who don’t try to control their kids while they’re misbehaving! But with Dylan, he’s not so bad, but it CAN get bad. I always say that he’s like a Sour Patch Kid: first he’s sour…then he’s sweet. He loves his sister so much, and there are times when he tries to “discipline” her by telling her, “NO BOBBY, don’t touch Bobby” or “BOBBY NO! MOMMY’S!” but sometimes he’ll be too rough with her. When he’s riding his tricycle & she’s in his walker, he doesn’t like it when she’s in his way & gets so upset. She laughs at him whenever he’s crying (lol). He has this uncontrollable kicking that I can’t stand & sometimes I’m afraid he’ll hit his sister in the face. Sometimes he thinks Aubrey’s a chair & try to sit on her. Or he’ll get so upset when she touches his toys while he’s “arranging them”. He likes to stand inside the cart. He would rather walk than sit in there & will throw a fit if we don’t take him out. He asks the same questions over & over again, “MOMMY, Yo-GABBA-BA?” “MOMMY, PETS?” “MOMMY, JEE-JEE SHAUSS HOUSE?” and I mean he won’t stop until I pay attention to him & it’s soooo hard when I have so many things to do! He’s seriously STEWIE, Asian version.
Whew, I’m a tired mama.
Aubrey on the other hand is ready to walk. She’s getting there. She’ll stand up for a while & clap everytime we say, “Good job Bobby!” Aubrey’s such a sweet baby; I love how much she smiles & how she gives me kisses whenever I say, “Bobby, can I have a kiss-kiss?” And she waves hi & bye to everyone, dances whenever she hears music, eats eats eats. She follows her brother EVERYWHERE, and if he leaves her to go downstairs, she will cry. She cried when I put Dylan to a nap! I can’t believe how much they love each other & how strong their bond is although they’re only babies..I love seeing them interact. Mark & I are just amazed that these two little rascals are OUR kids. <3

Some of my favorite parts of my (every)day:
-hearing Aubrey say, “Ma-ma”
-walking into room & see Dylan & Aubrey get so excited
-when Dylan hugs or climbs on me from the back & says, “LUH YOU, MOMMY!”
-watching Aubrey clap & dance
-when I’m working on phone cases, Dylan sits next to me & goes, “Mommy, I work.”
-watching & listening to the both of them having an “AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” contest..back & forth, back & forth…
-watching Dylan make up the weirdest conversation while on his pretend-phone
-when Dylan turns on Angry Birds Rio just to dance to the theme song
-watching Dylan dance in general is so entertaining
-watching Aubrey practicing her standing
-watching Dylan & Aubrey wrestle
