Welcome Baby Joshua!

All future posts will be found at http://kimfam.wordpress.com/ We hope you continue to join us in our adventures as a family of four!

More Videos

It has become increasingly difficult to take pictures of Caleb.  He won’t sit still and he won’t smile for the camera.  So, I’ve been taking a lot more videos to capture his personality.  Enjoy!

• Playing with Cars: Caleb’s favorite toys right now are cars and trucks.  He plays with them for hours – lining them up, racing them down the track, pushing them along the floor.  He even sleeps while cuddling Ramone and Sarge from the movie Cars.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW_pxSvy50E

• Reading Corner:  One morning I was in the kitchen and the house was quiet, too quiet.  I went looking for Caleb and this is what I found him doing… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPxNvLi4E_k

• Spaghetti: Need I say more? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WegCbq42NM

• Jumping:  Caleb had a great time at Miss B’s birthday party last Saturday.  His favorite part was jumping on the air track at The Little Gym. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l413f1NqUyE

Christmas, New Years, and more

Enjoying the lights at Gaylord Texan in Grapevine.

Downtown Grapevine.  Caleb doesn’t really seem to care about the snowman.  He did, however, enjoy the light and music show.  The video is a little dark but Caleb had a blast dancing to the music.

Relaxing in Baby Joshua’s chair while drinking his milk.  I hope he knows that this seat isn’t for him!

In his Christmas jammies ready to open presents.  It took Caleb a few times to realize that all the presents under the tree were for him.  But once he saw that each package contained some kind of car related toy, he kept bringing them to me and saying “Open!”

Happy New Year!

Ready to party at Miss B’s 2nd birthday!

About to get sugared up with cupcakes and juice.  Yum!

The blog you’ve all been waiting for…

Well, as most of you may remember, Yoon kept a blog (this one) for Caleb before he was born.  Naturally, he will be keeping a blog for Joshua before his arrival.  You can follow his commentary (including the labor and delivery) at http://kimfam.wordpress.com/

Enjoy!

Breakfast with Santa

Coloring and eating bread while waiting for Santa.

Where is he?

Not impressed with Santa.

Yet another, unsuccessful picture with Santa.

Family Photos

We took some family photos with Brenna Lyn at the beginning of November.  These will be our last family photos as a family of 3!  I can’t believe that Baby Joshua will be here in only 10 weeks!

Caleb has learned the word “baby.”  But he uses it when he sees his own picture or other toddlers.  He even called his 5 year old cousin baby!  I don’t think he realizes that Mommy’s growing belly has his baby brother.  When I ask him to kiss baby, he’ll kiss my big tummy.  So sweet.

My sweet baby boy.

Already 2?

Caleb decided to start his “terrible twos” a little early.  This weekend he got 3 consequences after deliberately disobeying me.  I’ve been trying to use the word “obey” when I ask him to do something.  While I was on the phone with my sister, I told him to obey and his response?  “No.”  Despite all of that, he is still my sweet baby boy.  He still gives me a big hug and kiss goodnight and wants to cuddle after his consequence.

Here are a few pics of us playing at the park.  We had planned on a picnic lunch but needed a potty break, so we went to Daddy’s office (just around the corner) and ate our PB&J there.

Usually, Caleb’s favorite thing to do at the park is swing (he signs the word “swing” to me all day).  But this particular day, he decided that he would much rather play with the wood chips.

Yoon has been wanting to get Caleb a drum set.  I have vetoed that idea for now.  Here’s Daddy teaching Caleb how to play snare while watching the movie “Drumline.”

Caleb LIVE

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n9_eFCSIdg:  This is from when we went to the Ft. Worth Zoo a few weeks ago.  Caleb is having fun watching the penguins zoom past.
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF3YIePC9Ys:  Our church Fall Festival has lots of fun games for kids to play.  Here’s Caleb “going fishing” in the duck pond.
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3hXzRYw7Pk:  Caleb has been chatting with anything and everything lately.  I don’t understand most of what he says but he seems to think he makes a lot of sense!
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak7y0_wN5jg:  Here we are heading over to our neighbor’s house to go trick or treating.

Trick or Treat!

This year was Caleb’s first time to go Trick or Treating around the neighborhood.  He didn’t quite get the concept but had fun putting candy in his bag.

Costume party at our house.  Look how happy the kids look in their costumes…

My sweet teddy bear!

Playing at Spooktacular Playdate!  Caleb refused to wear the hat during the party.

Caleb had fun playing with all the toys, but once he realized there was a food table with cookies and cupcakes, he stopped playing.  He spent the rest of the time hanging around the food table – like mother like son.

Watching Daddy give him a tattoo at our church’s Fall Festival.

“Why are you making me wear this hat?!”

Heading out to go Trick or Treating in the neighborhood.  The weather was obviously not that cold since Yoon’s in shorts and a T-shirt.  Caleb was nice and toasty in his bear costume.

Our first house!!  Thank you Mr. Cotnoir for all the yummy treats and the cool spider ring!  Caleb looks overwhelmed with the tub of chocolates.

Pumpkin Patch at Dallas Arboretum

It was a beautiful Tuesday morning and Caleb, my mom, and I went to the Dallas Arboretum for their Pumpkin Patch.  I guess all the other moms in DFW thought it would be a good day to go as well because the place was full of strollers and mommies.  Caleb had a great time running around the fields and playing in the pumpkin houses.

Our only family picture of the day.  The man I asked to take this picture for us had a really hard time getting Caleb to look at him.  He tried whistling, calling his name, and making duck sounds – that’s why Caleb looks so confused.

Starting off our time at The Arboretum with brunch.  Quiche is yummy!

Our first attempt at a cute pumpkin picture.

“Are you sure you want me to sit on these pumpkins?”

Caleb LOVES fountains and water falls.  When he saw this, he kept saying “Oooh!”

As I’m trying to take a picture with Caleb, he’s using me as a ramp to get off the pumpkins.

Trying to figure out the bale of hay maze.

I took Caleb to see the animals in the petting zoo thinking that he would like it, but he got pretty scared so we looked at the animals from a distance.  He was more interested in the man raking up the hay than the horse.

Looking at the fish in the pond.
