Olivia @ 15 months

2012-02-07T21:00:00.000-08:00

Olivia turned 15 months on January 31st. Her personality shines through all moments of the day. She had a great check up with Dr. Stephanie. She weighs 24lbs 10oz, 32" tall and has a head circumference of 19". She tops the percentage charts, for sure. Olivia has taken a few steps...we're working on building her confidence on a daily basis. She may not be walking but she sure loves to climb. She's a great sleeper...takes one 2-3 hour nap during the day and sleeps through the night. O is beginning to eat table food. This week she has taken a liking to rice and Grand Auntie Joyce's cooked squash/melon dish. She did the happy dance when I put it in her mouth. So cute. She's also eating bananas, rice macaroni, whole milk yogurt, string cheese, king hawaiian bread, cheerios, noodles, tofu and fish. She loves to go outside...especially for a ride around the block in the little red car. She continues to explore the house and try new things. She loves to sit and play tea, instruments and flip pages in books. She also loves to open the dresser drawer to pull out clothes...especially Landon's stuff. We've also found her playing in the bathroom...toilet. Aiya! O has also transitioned from the baby tub to the big tub. She loves it! Olivia is one happy baby and it's easy to keep her smiling and laughing. I love you baby girl.

Hello Happy O!

2012-01-20T23:05:00.000-08:00

I love to chew on spoons and string cheese.

Project 365

2012-01-20T23:04:00.000-08:00

I'm getting a late start but I'm happy that I've started my Project 365 for 2012. Decided to go tradition this year and streamline it a bit. Possibly a spread or two per month vs. a picture a day for an entire year like I had done for 2011. I'll post my progress to hopefully keep me on track.

I managed to stay current with my Digital Project 365 for 2011 and happy I did. I will say that I'm still finishing up with the journaling and need to add the last 7 pictures. Will post pictures once I have the book printed.

December 2011 Scrapbook Spreads

2012-01-14T21:23:00.000-08:00

I created 12x12 spreads using the scrap I had left over from my December Daily Book. One for Landon and one for Olivia. Now I just have to finish all the spreads from the day they were born til Dec 2011. That's gonna take awhile.

December Daily 2011

2012-01-13T22:59:00.000-08:00

My cousin Janice inspired me to scrapbook the month of December...I took pictures each day to create this fun treasure. I'm happy that I finished it this week...it was nice to record what we had done.

The page size was 8.5 x8.5. I used what I already had in my stash. I even pulled out the sewing machine for the first time. I'm gonna need to practice a bit more but it will do.

Daddy took him to Almansor Park for a ride.

Climbing onto things, into things, out of things...

Faith In Nature

2011-12-09T21:10:00.000-08:00

I made this card using the scrap that I had in a box on my desk. I had enough materials and time to make four cards before Olivia woke up from her morning nap. I will say that I did mount one upside-down. I sent it to a friend that I think will get a good laugh out of it. You know who you are.

Stampin' Up! stamp set: Faith In Nature

My Little Artist

2011-11-26T13:49:00.000-08:00

Watercoloring calms Landon...he loves to paint and it makes him happy! It freaks his daddy out cause it's so messy but then he realized that it washes off very easily. A win win situation. Thank you Auntie Winnie for the watercoloring Cars book.

Trains and Cars

2011-11-24T10:07:00.000-08:00

L & O loves to play with trains and cars...well, it's more like Landon likes to play with trains and cars and Olivia comes in like Godzilla and knocks everything over.

My Hunny Bunny

2011-11-24T10:03:00.000-08:00

Olivia's favorite bunny. She loves to give her bunny hugs and kisses...and that smile of hers is so very sweet.

Birthday Celebration Continues on Halloween 2011

2011-10-31T21:49:00.000-07:00

12 months, 12 friends. Not easy to the get the exact photo...not even close.

Olivia's favorite friend is the pink bunny. It is very loved.

Cousins: Evan, Olivia and Landon

Cousins: Olivia and Abi

This was the best of a gazillions of photos taken of the four babies.

Happy Birthday Olivia!

Ut-O, looks like someone got cake on her toes!

Oh, Daddy!

Birthday Treats!

2011-10-31T14:35:00.000-07:00

Olivia is so lucky to have Auntie Joycee make cake pops for her first birthday. She loves her singing doll too! So silly.

Happy First Birthday Olivia!

2011-10-31T13:37:00.000-07:00

We celebrated with family at Top Island Restaurant on Sat., Oct 29th for Olivia's First Birthday. Mango Cake was yummy.

Yeah, we're all looking in the same direction! That's a very big deal!

She loves the guitar. When she hears music she sits and turns her body...dancing Olivia style.

She loves to play with her tongue.

Hello!

Hmmm, this phone looks good enough to eat.

Landon left one of his cars out...yeah!

Landon's checking out all of Olivia's new birthday toys.

Olivia loves to push buttons.

Wow! Olivia is tall.

"Yeah!", says Landon. I got the phone.

Busted. Olivia caught climbing on top of the bench.

Happy First Birthday Olivia. She loves to dance and sing. She has been a better solid food eater. We recently introduced avocado to her and she loves it. She's eating porridge with chicken, carrots, peas and spinach, bananas, cheerios, bread and plain yogurt. She still only has three teeth. Two at the bottom and one on top...we might be gumming food for awhile longer baby O.

Landon and Olivia have been sharing a room for awhile now and it's working out great! She still cruises around and can pull herself up. She hasn't taken any steps on her own but she can take steps when hanging on. She can climb on and off ride-on vechicles in the house and loves to climb onto Landon's bed and roll around.

One of the signs that can tell you that Olivia is happy is when she swings her legs...sure sign of pure happiness. She enjoys watching Baby Einstein DVDs and explore the house. One of her favorite plush friends is her pink bunny. She likes to give it hugs and dances with it too...so stinkin' cute!

Happy 1 year old Olivia baby. Mommy loves you.

Happy Halloween 2011 from Woody and Jessie!

2011-10-31T12:55:00.000-07:00

Landon Boy!

2011-10-23T22:13:00.000-07:00

Landon got his much needed haircut today!

Disneyland - October 22, 2011

2011-10-23T21:47:00.000-07:00

Oh, only if we weren't squinting our eyes!

So cute!

I need to work on my timing when we go on the It's a Small World...it never fails, Olivia always fall asleep before we get there. She still hasn't made it on once.

Our Auntie Angela's first visit to Disneyland, ever! If we had known,

we would have invited her to come with us a long long time ago.

Landon got to experience Astro Blaster's for the very first time. We were able to keep him interested in staying in line for 20 minutes...all because we kept telling him that he would get to see Buzz. And when he finally did see him...his eyes were glued to Buzz and I could tell he was so excited.

He actually stood still for quite awhile...he was so happy!

When we got on the ride, he couldn't believe that we were going to be shooting targets!

He loves Woody, Buzz and Rex is one of his newest friends.

He was a happy little boy! Seeing Buzz all around!

He loves water fountains...but what kid doesn't. I love them too!

Sunday Sunshine!

Cars!

2011-10-15T22:08:00.000-07:00

O gets into playing cars too!

Landon was so excited to find a car in his kitchen drawer.

It was fun to watch him line up his cars...making sure they were all facing the same way.

"Yes!", says Landon. He found that the shopping cart was a more efficient way to transport his cars from one room to the other.

"Feeesh"

2011-10-15T22:03:00.000-07:00

Landon's cousin Andrew celebrated his birthday at Paint N Play in Monrovia a couple of weeks ago. My little painter...so stinkin' cute to see him action.

Landon would call this shark..."Feeesh!"

Landon's plant from school

2011-10-15T21:48:00.000-07:00

Thank you Coral so very much, it was very thoughtful of you.

Buzz!...rainboots.

2011-10-15T21:40:00.000-07:00

I know it hardly rains in So Cal but when I saw these rainboots, I knew that Landon would love them! And he does. He's been wearing them around in the house...stomping away!

What's for lunch?

2011-10-07T22:08:00.000-07:00

Happy Friday!

Olivia @ 11 months

2011-10-02T13:07:00.000-07:00

Happy 11 months Olivia! Olivia loves to leave a trail of toys everywhere she explores in the house. She loves to babble and sing. She loves everything her brother loves, and that includes his toys, blanket, sippy cup, food and more. She cruises around with speed and can pull herself up to reach for what she has her sights set on. She can climb up and down stairs with caution. Olivia has been a much better solid eater. She's eating porridge with chicken, peas, carrots and spinach. She loves bananas, cherrios, and fish. She knows how to wave hi and goodbye, thanks to Po-Po. Her personality shines brightly along with her cute smile. I love you baby girl!

2011-09-17T15:13:00.000-07:00

Landon was all giddy this morning at breakfast...it wasn't because he got his favorite food or got to watch his movie. There was girl, at another table and they were exchanging smiles and giggles. What a big flirt! This went on for minutes! That's considered long, since Landon is only 2 years old.

Olivia @ 10 months

2011-09-05T23:02:00.000-07:00

Olivia turned 10 months this last week while we were on vacation in Indio.
I didn't think to plan ahead by bringing 10 of her furry friends...so we had to improvise.

Her personality is shining through. She knows what she wants and will find a way.

One her favorite things to do is to knock everything off the picnic table just
to watch her brother pick everything back up.

O loves to do what L is doing, always. No doubt. She continues to be a great

sleeperand a not so good eater...takes forever. She does love her little stars.

She plays in the crib until she runs out of gas and just falls over.

I love you baby girl, happy 10 months!

Disneyland

2011-08-13T22:14:00.000-07:00

Ut-O, why are you so unhappy O. Isaiah hears nothing.

A beautiful day spent at Disneyland. Landon went on three rides..a new record. It was a grand day with the Cao Family. Thanks for a fun day.

O holds her bottle

2011-08-13T22:04:00.000-07:00

Norman told me that he had put the bottle down on the tray...turned around to get something and then to find Olivia holding her own bottle. Guess she couldn't wait. Now how do we get her to continue holding her own bottle?

Yumiko Ishii sent me this beautiful birhtday card....I love all the textures, patterns and colors.

L & O on a chair

2011-08-07T13:41:00.000-07:00

You have to notice that Landon is holding on to his sister. I use to think that Landon had a big head but Olivia girl is right up there in size.

Landon loves his cars...this is version of lining them up.

Daddy had stepped away for a second and Landon thought he could escape the chair. He told me he was stuck. Couldn't resist, had to get the camera to take a picture before going in for the rescue.

Olivia at 9 months is 29.5" tall (96%) and weighs 20lbs 10 oz (79%). She's sleeping thru the night, has her way of crawling and can pull herself up to stand. She's gone into the pool twice, it takes her a little while to warm up to the idea but once she's good, she's good. She's getting better at eating solids...peas, carrots, sweet potato, pizza crusts, rice cereal and porridge. Baby girl still doesn't have any teeth but she can gum pizza crust really well.

Happy 2nd Birthday Landon!

2011-07-19T22:44:00.000-07:00


Three generation of Lau men. Landon's birthday is three days after his dad and Norman's birthday is three days after his dad. What are the chances of that happening. So very cool.

Happy Birthday Landon boy! Can't believe that 2 years ago today you came into this world bringing so much joy, love and happiness into our lives. We are very lucky to have you.

You recently learned to climb out of your crib and have moved to the big boy bed. Your love for letters are awesome. You can identify many and we think it's real cool. You also love anything that is on wheels, especially your diecast cars from Cars. Your favorite show is still Super Why and your favorite movies are Toy Story 1, 2 &3.

You love being outside and you'll walk but you like to be carried when you're tired. You don't like being in the stroller and anything that ties you down, especially the booster chair. You like to play hide & seek and you crack yourself up all the time.

You're a great big brother to Olivia. You like to bring her toys especially when she's not happy or help with her bottle when she's hungry. You can make each other laugh and is super fun to watch.

Olivia @ 8 months

2011-06-30T21:46:00.000-07:00

Happy 8 months baby girl! You have grown so much just this month...you've hit many milestones. You learned to rollover, you can scoot from point a to point b, you love gadgets (esp. my iPhone), you can cruise around in the walker, you've found your voice, you've mastered rice cereal and love sweet potato. You drink about 6-7oz milk per feeding and love being sung to while eating. You actually prefer it. We're still waiting for your first tooth but we know it will be soon. Your hair has grown a lot as well as in height. You currently are wearing size 12 months in play wear, size 3 diaper but in sleepwear, size 12 months...is a tight fit.

Just this week you've fallen asleep while playing..the first time was at Bacali Cafe during

breakfast, the second time was in the high chair after eating and just a couple of days ago...

you fell asleep in the jumper.

We love your smile!

Landon loves his new friend...thank you Grand Uncle Ricky.

Hello Baby Girl

2011-06-27T23:24:00.000-07:00

Landon's before and after...

2011-06-27T00:02:00.000-07:00

It wasn't so easy this time...Landon had fallen asleep in the car just 45 minutes

before his appt. Although he woke up on his own...we would not sit in the chair.

Daddy had to carry him but also squat a little (like holding a long yoga pose) for the

stylist to cut his hair. Oh boy. Let's not forget the chocolate chip cookie he had too.

Charlotte and Olivia just sat in the chair watching Landon get his haircut.

Bathtime with Daddy

Landon @ 23 months

2011-06-19T22:24:00.000-07:00

L & O don't exactly interact but it is fun when they do.

O is scooting on her bottom around in circles and L is just all over the place.

Landon loves to be outside, especially hanging out on the lawn.

Daddy brings O outside in the exer-saucer.

L & I were only on the front lawn with O & Daddy before he wondered to the backyard.

There isn't much in the backyard but Landon had fun exploring. Watching him take steps on the different surfaces was interesting. He was careful and took caution before taking steps. it may be time we have a landscaper take a look at transforming the backyard to a place we can hangout and play.

Landon has always liked phones...he found a rattle that resembled just that.

Just one month shy from turning 2. Landon loves to play with cars, balls and all things that are gadgets. He loves balloons (from watching Disney/Pixar'sUp), he's wild about them. He loves his alphabet letters that are in the kitchen and his foam letters in the bath. He's always asking us "what's this?" but doesn't repeat what we say. He loves his books but isn't interested in us reading to him, he likes to point and ask "what's this?". He loves anything that has a wheel that he can spin, especially a steering wheel. He is like most...loves to watch TV. He's very much into Super Why, Handy Manny, Cars, Toy Story, Monsters, Inc and Up. He likes to self feed, drinks nothing but milk and water. He loves fruit, tofu, rice, string cheese, cheerios, rice noodles, oatmeal, and bread...not crazy about chicken or veggies, but I have my ways of getting it in.

His newest words are...I do, I all wet, I stuck, boo (balloon), show (he'll take our hand and walk us to the back to turn the tv on for him, dough (means go), and no, no, no.

Happy 23 months Landon boy! I love you.

Baby O - June 2011

2011-06-19T21:35:00.000-07:00

Baby O loves to play with her pacifier...happy little one.

Olivia is deciding which one she's gonna put in her mouth next...blue or orange star?

Duh Mom...the blue star.

Spending a little time on the front lawn on Bah-Bah's day.

Happy Bah-Bah's Day!

Thanks to my cousin Janice for sharing her awesome idea for a father's day gift and for helping me get the tray. I love how it came out and it was super fun to make. So many options. Thanks cousin.
