Febuary Random

Friday is becoming a traditional in our family to have a relaxing day. We only wish that Rob could be a part of it. Now that Evan sits up and play, it's so much fun to see how they both interact each other. They both love each other's company. Satomi feels so blessed to hear their laughter a lot while they play (knock on the wood! They still play nice each other). Evan's recent tricks are putting everything into his mouth, blowing bobbles, and dance/wiggling wtih music. Skyler's triks are making Evan laugh by saying something so silly, making funny faces at camera, etc. One of the Friday's movie nights, Evan noticed that Skyler and Satomi were eating something different that his "little puff," so he wanted to grab the bowl of snack. When we kept telling Evan that it's not for him yet, he made a face that looked like he was saying, "Why not?!" He didn't cry or fuss about it, it was just a funny moment we all looked each other...and started to laugh.

Skyler's 1st Talk in Primary!

Not only we had a great Valentine's day, Skyler was asked to give his very 1st talk during sharing time in Primary. It was a blessing that he felt well after 40 days of taking an antibiotic for his sinus infection. He had practiced on Saturday and asked Satomi many good questions about what he was saying. Satomi was amazed even this little guy can ask such good questions about Jesus' atonement, why he was a savior, what makes us an eternal family, how we can live with Heavenly Father again, etc. At the sharing time, Skyler said, "My Mommy and Daddy can watch me do my talk." Satomi only had to stand next to him and Skyler pretty much said it all!! We were all proud of him, especially he was scared of his 1st dance stage in December last year. Practice matter, and it was a rewarding and proud moment as parents. Skyler was so happy that he got a sweet, a new toy (iguana that he sleeps with), and a ribbon that says, "Great job today!" from this experience.

Happy Valentine's Day

We had a good one. Rob was kind to take Satomi out but she actually requested to have a family day since we are so busy 24/7! It worked out perfect since we both had Monday off. On Sunday, Satomi made Valentine's Day breakfast, and at the dinner, we were invited to a dinner at Biggs' Family. It was nice to visit them as a whole family. Not only Rob got Satomi a rose and a very nice card (it's traditional in our family), he also got a new dryer! It was miracle that our dryer lasted this long (thanks to Heavenly Father). So, on Monday, we were shopping a half day that made Satomi and Skyler's Valentine's day cake plan a little delay. Because we don't have much a whole family time as much as we want to, on this special holiday, we enjoyed feeling LOVE in our family :D

Evan sitting up

This month, Evan really started to sit up and play. He started to roll over a lot and he actually loves his tummy time. He can also reach to the objects and even roll to reach to the far object. He's done army crowling a few times and he just loves his new discovery! The fun time begins!

New Hair cut!

Robert and Skyler got a hair cut after looking not so well (it looked like old tired rug). I didn't take Robert's picture but did take Skyler's since it is something new we did here. He wanted to keep his hair longer so he could spike up his hair like one of his preschool friends. Personally, Satomi likes short hair so she doesn't have to cut his hair every month. But, she also have to admit that this hair style does look good on him and made him look like much older kid. Pretty handsome!

Best Buddies!

This was also taken right before they were about to go to bed! This time, Skyler really wanted to take a picture with Evan. I'm glad they both like each other :)

Dino theme days

Since we were sick a lot this month, Skyler had a lot of activities at home. But as you can tell or guess, most of them were dinosaur theme. Dino art project, dino science project, dino coloring, dino book reading,...you name it, we probably did it. We made dino hat with paper plates, we colored dinosuar pictures and practiced letters of each dinosuar's. We played mix and match game with dinosaur, danced with dinosaur songs, we used flash light and played hide and seek with dinosuar, made different colored and shapes with construction papers and made a pattern on dinosaur, made fossils with dinosuar and play dough, etc... We also learned hygine such as blowing nose and washing hands with dinosaur (Skyler pretended he was a teacher and dino toys were his students). While we were battling with sickness and busy schedule as usual, we did pretty good job, I think...?
