Cookie time favorite time

Banza~~~ii~!!!

Noah's new thing. (Notice right hand is always opened but right hand is always closed?!)

Hand-made soaps

Aika's first attemp of making hand-made soaps: Milk Honey, Lavender, 100% Olive Oil, and Chamomile Honey.

Night out

A little break for the parents as we celebrated friend's 10 years anniversary, a milestone worth partying and drinking to!

Yang Ming Mountain

Enjoying the first cool days of fall.

First Music Class

1) We had our first music class today and Noah loved it!

2 & 3) Noah & Yushi: I wonder what kind of fun moms had planned for us today?!

4,5,&6) Dancing, clapping, shaking along cajun music!

7, 8,&9) Excited and curious, Noah was unable to sit still for more than 3 seconds. Touching every instrument, tasting each one of them of course,...and climbing on the top of the drum!

Chillin' in the car

Noah loves the car rides, well, most of the time. And we love having Noah in the car with us. Noah has this favorite song, an African melody "Battu"; no matter how fussy he is, he'd calm down and smile everytime we play the song. It's our secret weapon. Works EVERY time.

10 months old!

So fast! Noah's already 10 months old. This September, Noah seemed to have suddenly grown up. He is more alert and independent; recognizing faces, responding to his name, showing signs of emtions and thought process, crying after his mommy! He is also eating meals three times a day, drinking from the bottle(still loves to breastfeed though...), crawling fast, and almost being able to move on two feet by holding on to the side of the sofa. Good job Noah!

Noah's Song

Troy's mom emailed me a really sweet song today. It's called "Noah's Song" by Watermark.

Sweet Noah
Your eyes are a window
To all of our childhood dreams
It's almost like we're starting over again
One more trip through this life
With different eyes to see

You're the gift that came to take us back
Cause baby dear, you have the joy we lack
With your tiny hands
You touch a different world
Your full of wonder, full of hope
And full of one more chance
For us to see the world again
Like God sees the world

Little lover of God
You'd smile at a stranger
You don't think to be careful
How sweet is your love
You'd reach for the most unlovely of creatures
Your love is so unconditional

You're the gift that came to take us back
Cause baby dear, you have the love we lack
With your tiny heart
You'll love a different world
Your full of wonder, full of hope
And full of one more chance
For us to love the world again
Like God loves the world

And a child shall lead them
For such is the kingdom of heaven
Simple faith, simple love
Just because

Little faithful one
You're just like a mirror
Reflecting anything and everything we do
Mirror, mirror oh how you remind us
That we should reflect our Father just the same

You're the gift that came to take us back
Cause baby dear, you have the faith we lack
With your tiny life
You've shown the precious love of
GodHe's full of mercy, full of grace,
And full of one more chance
For us to daily learn to love
Like He first loved us

And a child shall lead them
For such is the kingdom of heaven
Simple faith, simple love
Just because

I love to Jumpy Jump!
