Pretty Boy

We have always thought Paul was a "pretty boy".  Every once in a while he still gets mistaken for a girl, even though he is dressed like a boy. Here he is with a clip in his hair. Maybe if we had had a girl she would have looked like this. 

We are happy we have a boy!

Month 18

Paul and Chong both had Columbus Day off (one of the perks of working at a bank) so we took a trip to Disneyland.  It was really fun and decorated really cute for Halloween.

We also went to our second to last Galaxy Game of the season this past weekend. Little Paul got to come with us to this game because it was a little earlier. It was really fun to have him there with us since he is usually at home sleeping.

Little Paul is now 18-months-old and is starting to say more words. We are excited for him to start talking in sentences. I think he will have some interesting things to say. Here is the list of Paul's current words:

Recent Updates

Paul and I got invited to go to the Magic Castle in Hollywood. For those of you that don't know, my brother is living with us for awhile which has given us the liberty of going out on more dates. The Magic Castle is a really neat place. We sat in the very front of the show so Paul got picked on a lot which made it extra fun.

Here is a picture of one of our recent trips to Disneyland. We got there right when it opened so we didn't have to wait in line to see Mickey.

Here is a picture of us at the Beck Concert at

 the Hollywood Bowl (another date night). 

Last weekend we had a picnic birthday celebration for my good friend, Julia. Here is Paul taking a personal call at the picnic. 

Dancing Popeye

Interesting things happen when my husband dresses our son. We couldn't help but laugh at Little Paul because he looked so funny with his pants under his onsie. Our laughter got Little Paul really excited and he started dancing and running around the room.  Here are some photos.

Another Labor Day at the cabin

We have a tradition of spending Labor Day at Paul's Family Cabin in Idaho. This year we got to spend a full week there. We visited some nearby hot springs, went wake-surfing, played in the lake, went on walks, played games, took naps and ate way too much. Baby Paul had a great time playing with his cousins. It was sad to leave :(

The kids playing in the sand.

Paul and Annie were little buddies on this trip. We always found them sitting next to each other while they played.

Our first visit to the hot springs.

Wake-surfing

Paul would cry every time I got in the water. It was really sad but also kind of cute.

Paul showing off his moves.

Happy to be with dad.

Snacking on some black raspberries we found on one of our walks.

Annie liked the raspberries too.

Visits from the G-Ma's

Little Paul had visits from both his G-Ma's this month. He had a great time with both of them and of course tried to show them a good time. We visited the Science Museum and various parks in the area with G-Ma Proctor. Here are some pictures from the first visit.





G-Ma Park came to see us from the Mid-West and stayed with us for a little over a week. We visited Disneyland, the Science Museum, the Kidspace Museum, Amy's Playground, Huntington Gardens and various parks in the area. G-Ma Park was also kind enough to cook us a lot of yummy Korean food while she was here. Here are some pictures that capture our time together.







Paul is really lucky to have grandmas that love him so much. We are excited to see G-Ma Proctor again next week at the cabin for a full week. Unfortunately, we wont see G-Ma Park again until Christmas but we are looking forward to it. We love you both!

Our Fearless Son

Sometimes I cannot believe what a daredevil Little Paul is. He is absolutely fearless. He loves to run down hills, jump off of high places and dive into deep waters, which also means mom cannot take her eyes off of him for one second. He loves to climb on top of our fireplace and then jump off. I have to be right there to catch him or he gets hurt. He also likes to run down some pretty steep hills at full speed and if I don't catch him he falls down. Unfortunately, falling or getting hurt has never stopped this kid from doing it again. He is even getting a little sneaky. He now trys to distract me with something like asking me to open a bottle for him and then takes off at full speed in the opposite direction. I catch him most of the time but sometimes he is too fast for me. We went to the beach the other day and he kept trying to dive head first into the ocean. How do people have more than one kid?
