Outdoor play

2009-08-18T14:47:00.000-07:00

New bike for Ethan!

2009-06-03T11:00:00.000-07:00

Ethan got a shinny and flashy new bike thanks to daddy's friends' donation for a belated happy birthday present.

so what's ellie doing? having fun picking at ants and leafs :) 頭髮從學校回來都亂七八糟的嘿

hello?

2009-05-16T20:55:00.000-07:00

ellie now knows what phone is for. well she does "hello?" to almost every object she picks up.. she also dances to music nowadays. too bad i didn't catch her dance when she's standing up :)

Spring school pictures!

2009-05-13T13:18:00.000-07:00

well i know i didn't like taking school pictures but at least i smiled :P

照的心不甘情不願的哈！害我照片買都買不下嘿

we had a little celebration for ellie's 1 year old bday. thanks to ellie, ethan had ice cream cake to eat! she made a mess but she had fun :)

Weekend fun~

2009-03-05T12:46:00.001-08:00

Ethan's pictures are really hard to take. he always makes goofy faces or tried to grab my camera. Here are couple shots i took on the weekend (ellei's chill'n on the stroller and watching her brother slay monsters with sword.. :) )

so what does ellie do on the weekend? ellie makes mad dashes to the stairs and play with the recycle bin =- . -= ellie 週末都在爬樓梯啊翻垃圾啊..


衝啊~	嘿看看有沒有人跟來	啊被抓到了 o^^o

哈哈哈哈！終於被我找到有貓的鞋子啦！美國小貓圖案的衣服鞋子都是給小女生穿的。小男生都是小老虎。 ^O^

Snow Day! 下雪啦～

2009-02-27T19:56:00.000-08:00

there's this one day when it was pouring rain outside of our house and we thought we might venture to the mountains to see if it was snowing. sure enough it was snowing cats and dogs up in the mountain. it was freeeeezing cold up in the mountain. too bad the kids didn't have snow gears to play in the snow long enough. ellie was probably out there for 5 seconds to take some pictures before we pack up and head down the mountain. ethan had a lot of fun running around in the snow :)

霧薩薩

Here's Ethan having fun in the snow..

and here's ellie's 5 second outing in the snow..

玩雪之後的感想...

沖天炮 =D

2009-02-08T20:42:00.000-08:00

it's too hard to get a good picture of ellie with two pig tails so here's a little clip. 妹妹綁兩搓照了好幾次都照不成功乾脆錄個影片給大家看看 ^O^ 很難綁喲

阿公阿媽生日快樂～

2009-02-02T16:07:00.000-08:00

There's finally a sunny day to use my DSLR!

2009-01-30T13:46:00.001-08:00

what a difference in picture quality between my DSLR and my point-and-shoot camera! well it better be better because it's 5x more expensive hehe here's ellie just cruising along the wall and in the big empty room =)

no no, it's not what you think... ㄝㄝㄝ...造飛機造飛機飛到天空去~

2009-01-04T21:28:00.000-08:00

i know what it looks like but no, ethan is not flashing inappropriate gestures ^^;; i was testing out my Canon Xsi and he was flying "airplane".

byebye 2008

2009-01-01T21:12:00.000-08:00

here's a quick summary of all the events that we went through ever since ellie was born =P i just didn't have the time to update the blog as the events ended. i would rather catch up on my sleep if i have extra time ;)

Christmas 2008~
although ellie seemed to like eating the wrapping paper and climbing over the presents more than opening presents and ethan was more interested in playing with ellie's present more than his, we still had fun ^O^ even the cats had fun playing in the empty boxes.

here they are opening presents. ethan was distracted and ellie was acting like an all-terrain vehicle ^^;

here's ellie enjoying her christmas present:

Pumpkin Patch!
I took ethan to pumpkin patch this year to pick out pumpkins so we can carve them. there were bounce house, slides, some dangerous looking rides but ethan didn't want to try them out. it was an experience we had to try out. i probably would just get the pumpkins from market this year..

Halloween
we went to riverside plaza for trick-or-treating. we figured that it would be safer and more fun that way than knocking on people's door. we got everything from candies to a free kids meal at Islands restaurant. mr. i-fight-monsters was a little scared when he saw kids wearing zombie masks ^^; ethan dressed up as his favorite blue robot. the mask was too big so he didn't keep it on long enough for me to take pictures.

my monthly blog report 哇洋蔥頭出現啦

2008-12-12T11:25:00.000-08:00

it seems like i only have time to post on my blog once a month =P i tried to take ellie's picture but she's just so wiggly and wobbly that every pictures comes out blurry. here's a video clip of ellie crawling. i had to shut the video off because i was getting attacked!

look! i can stand up!

2008-11-24T16:18:00.001-08:00

it's really hard to catch a none blurry picture of ellie smiling because she's so wobbly and jumpy!

new trick ellie learned

2008-10-02T22:39:00.000-07:00

ellie learned how to make her lips look like birdies and make a popping noise =)

Long time no see!

2008-09-11T14:34:00.000-07:00

i know.. i know.. it's been 3 months since i did anything with the blog but i just couldn't find the energy and time to post anything! ellie's now 5 1/2 months old and she's already rolling around and wanting to crawl to places.

Disneyland!

2008-06-13T08:42:00.001-07:00

We took Ethan to Disneyland last weekend because we were all bored. It was hot but we had a lot of fun. Ethan did well waiting in line =)

Here's Ethan waiting for Nemo ride

Here's Ethan in the tea cup ride

Ellie! Smile~

2008-05-29T11:27:00.000-07:00

It's been almost a month since i posted anything. ellie was being trained to drink formula from bottle and it took about two weeks for her to drink formula from the bottle without fussing. now that she's two months old and more content, she smiles! it's kind of hard to catch her smile on the camera (she will smile at people just not cameras). here's couple pictures of her smiling and a short video.

Ethan loooooves baby

2008-05-07T09:00:00.000-07:00

Ethan loves to play with baby (yes, the cat's name is baby because he whines like one). Baby's such a nice cat =)

Ethan with Ellie

2008-05-01T13:13:00.000-07:00

Awwww, i wonder how long the lovingness between Ethan and Ellie will last hehe

Ellie's 3-4 weeks old

2008-04-21T11:29:00.000-07:00

Well she's 2 days from being 4 weeks old =) she's getting chunky! i know her eyes are crossed in some photos but that's because young babies don't have good control of their muscles yet.

How Ethan can be entertained with less than $1

2008-04-17T10:36:00.000-07:00

Grandpa brought party blowout to entertain the little monster. kids are so easily entertained (which is a good thing!)

Ellie's 2 weeks old!

2008-04-08T16:44:00.000-07:00

Ellie's 2 weeks old! she now has some awake and none crying moments for me to take pictures!

Introducing Elyse Rei Park!

2008-03-28T14:28:00.000-07:00

Our daughter Elyse Rei Park (we'll call her Ellie for short) was born on 3/26/08 at 10:42pm. She was 7.1 lbs and 18 3/4 inches. I will get more pictures as she becomes more alert. She spends most of her day (especially in the morning) sleeping for now. Here she is:

聽說...

2008-03-18T10:24:00.000-07:00

聽說有人在看我的blog. 那我就勤勞一點打掃我的blog ^^;;
Ethan 每個星期六都跟老爸一起洗車. 應該是喜歡玩水多於喜歡洗車吧 ^^;

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-21T11:42:00.000-08:00

I know i know, i haven't updated this blog for god knows how long. Ethan received his early Christmas/Birthday present from auntie and grandma so here's is the most recent picture of this almost 2 year old monster:

ethan playing with water part II

2007-05-29T22:08:00.001-07:00

finally uploaded, part II continues after i got splashed by ethan..

ethan playing with water!

2007-05-26T22:01:00.001-07:00

here is part I:

pictures at last

2007-05-13T22:54:00.000-07:00

well i figure i should post some pictures too instead of posting videos so here they are ^^

ethan eating yogurt

2007-05-11T22:25:00.000-07:00

i know it looks yucky that yogurt is all over him but he's gotta learn how to use the spoon somehow =P

ethan says bubbles!

2007-05-01T23:16:00.000-07:00

more bubbles! but instead of chasing them this time ethan says bubbles!

Ethan playing with blocks

2007-04-16T22:33:00.000-07:00

ethan celebrates when he stacks a block successfully! i wonder when he can stop screaming for everything -_-;;

Ethan chasing bubbles~

2007-04-14T23:35:00.000-07:00

We play in the backyard every weekend with bubbles to entertain Ethan. actually.. our true intention is to get him tired =P

Ethan demanding water bottle to be opened!

2007-04-09T23:04:00.000-07:00

ethan hasn't changed much since he was a little baby ^^;; when he wants something he definitely will let you know. here's a short demo:

Uh-Oohhhh

2007-04-02T22:36:00.000-07:00

ethan says uh oh now. even when if it's intentional instead of a real uh-oh ^^;

ethan car washing

2007-03-20T22:45:00.000-07:00

this was last weekend when the weather was hot and ethan car washing with daddy.

this is how loud my son is ^^;

2007-03-11T22:55:00.000-07:00

well i guess sometimes ethan needs to use up his enegery somehow =P

Ethan found a new toy!

2007-03-01T22:07:00.000-08:00

yes.. he discovered my bag. ethan likes to take everything out of my bag or carry it around the house nowadays. see he didn't even have time to put on his pants after a diaper change because he is having so much fun!

Ethans says "bujabujabuja"

2007-02-28T22:42:00.000-08:00

ethan's saying something new! bujabujabuja he says. i wonder what that means ^^;;

Ethan walking - after 1 month

2007-02-22T21:15:00.000-08:00

Ethan is walking better now. this video was taken couple days ago and he's walking better and faster now. he can even clap his hands when he walks =)

Ethan playing in the kitchen

2007-02-10T10:56:00.000-08:00

On a good day after ethan comes home from school, he'll sit and play while i cook. on "a good day" that is.. usually he plays too much in school and skips his naps and by the time he's home he's tired and grouchy and just wants to cling on me like a monkey ^^;;

Ethan can walk now!

2007-01-27T20:38:00.000-08:00

I know i haven't been posting anything for awhile since ethan's grandma and grandpa had been here with him to watch him grow. Now that they are back in taiwan, look what they missed!

Long time no see!

2006-09-11T21:46:00.000-07:00

well, i haven't been updating the blog because ethan has been keeping me busy! the only thing i do after work is crawl with him around the house until he goes to sleep.. i'll try to get more pictures but here are some pictures of him around the house around 8/28/06 =)

ethan playing in his crib

2006-08-16T20:55:00.000-07:00

in case you're wonder what he was doing in the beginning of the video, he was trying to untie the knob for the string on the crib bumper ^^

ethan with kittie

2006-08-02T21:53:00.000-07:00

aww i need some help when i'm taking his pictures! grrr can't get a clear smiley picture of ethan when i take the picture by myself

at the end, i gave up on trying to sit him up multiple times to get a good picture...

attack of the ethan!

2006-07-31T22:21:00.000-07:00

ethan can move around pretty well now. although he can't really crawl yet but he sure can scoot himself to wherever he wants to be. in this case, he wanted to grab my camra ^^;

playing with paper

2006-07-24T22:22:00.000-07:00

finally uploaded and approved! here is ethan busy playing with paper.

playing with play mat

2006-07-22T23:43:00.000-07:00

hmmm i updated the wrong video on google. here is ethan playing on the play mat =)

ethan studying with me

2006-07-15T16:13:00.000-07:00

i was studying this week for a test today (and i passed! woot!). ethan seems to be having fun with my studying material. video to follow as soon as it is approved by google =)

ethan in...um.. dress -__-

2006-07-09T22:25:00.000-07:00

the weather has been pretty hot lately. ethan's grandma went to Target and bought him a dress to wear at home because it's cooler that way. he still looks like a boy though hehe. he keeps on moving around so the pictures are blurry.

ethan's grandpa also came to visit this weekend:

ethan rolling around the bed

2006-07-07T20:22:00.000-07:00

ethan knows how to roll both ways now and he is having tons of fun rolling around on the bed all the time now.

kick kick kick kick

2006-07-03T21:43:00.000-07:00

we let ethan play in the water around noon nowadays since the weather's been so hot. i'm sure he'll have no problems learning how to swim later ^^;

Ethan in super hyper drive!

2006-06-30T21:32:00.000-07:00

ethan loves to play with his wind chime ^^ i bought this for him when he was smaller so he can kick it. now he reaches out to grab things he likes to shake it more than kicking it. he goes crazy almost everytime he plays with it hehe

hi mommy, i'm awake~

2006-06-29T22:31:00.000-07:00

ethan flips onto his stomach and raises his head to see if anyone's in the room when he wakes up in the morning. he sure looks like a gopher peeking out from the ground when he does this hehe

i'm the king of my stroller!

2006-06-27T17:56:00.000-07:00

ethan slants to one side when he sits in his stroller nowadays. he also puts his legs up on teh tray when he sits in his stroller. i hope he doesn't drive like that in the future -_-

More bath time!

2006-06-21T12:57:00.000-07:00

ethan loves to take bathes. he jumps up and down when he knows he's going to take a bath before he goes to sleep:

ethan looks like an o-ji-san in traditional asian market with his shirt on his head ^^;

ethan sleeping

2006-06-14T21:41:00.000-07:00

ethan doesn't sleep on his back only at night anymore. ever since he learned how to roll to his left he's been sleeping either on his stomach or on his side. i know the lighting is horrible on these pictures but i didn't want to wake him up =) it was a bit cold yesterday so i dressed him in these pajamas. he kicks blankets in the morning and sometimes when he rolls over to his side or to his stomach his blanket would not be on him anymore so we do dress him a bit warmer when he sleeps.

ethan eating supplemental food

2006-06-13T21:28:00.000-07:00

ethan's learning how to eat from spoon. he's getting better at it everyday. it's easier to feed him in the stroller than chair because he still can't really sit up yet. and yes the food gets all over his bib, hands (because he eats his hands too once awhile when he gets bored of the food in the spoon) and everywhere else he touches.

Happy naked ethan

2006-06-12T19:49:00.000-07:00

Ethan loves to be naked when it's hot. it's so hard to keep him off his stomach nowadays. he can now sleep on his side now at night instead of on his back.

i can touch my toes!

2006-06-06T21:33:00.000-07:00

ethan can hold his legs up now which makeas diaper changing easier =P

Ethan rolling~

2006-06-04T18:46:00.000-07:00

Ethan can roll to his left now! he doesn't roll to his right yet but he mastered rolling to the left. he can't roll back yet but he can roll onto his stomch =)

Trip to San Diego

2006-06-04T16:58:00.000-07:00

Great grandma is here in San Diego from Taiwan. Here are some pictures before leaving from home to SD:

While at San Diego...

newly aquired skill

2006-05-29T10:56:00.000-07:00

Actually ethan already knew how to do this but he does this more often nowadays when he's happy:

takes couple tries to get a good picture because he moves so much!

sappy happy

2006-05-29T10:49:00.000-07:00

two pictures i took back to back. what a difference it makes eh =)

chunky monkey

2006-05-23T22:21:00.000-07:00

it's a bit hot today so we took off ethan's clothes to let him play a bit shirtless. ethan gets heat rashes if we keep his clothes on when it's too hot:

it's a bit hard to take clear pictures when ethan's happy. he wiggles around a lot more nowadays when he's happy ^^;

boing boing boing

2006-05-19T23:25:00.000-07:00

see ethan's powerful legs! i put him on this thing or on his stomach before he takes a bath so he can get tired by the time he finishes his bath and hopefully would go to sleep:

happy ethan in the morning

2006-05-11T16:57:00.000-07:00

aww too bad the smilie face doesn't last all day hehe. ethan is generally happy in the morning after he woke up:

Monkey Magic~

so hot~

2006-05-10T20:09:00.000-07:00

it's so hot today that i just kept ethan on his short sleeve shirt without pants. ethan can hold his head up and look around pretty well now. he also arch his butt up and kick his legs trying to crawl.

Picture perfect

2006-05-09T20:28:00.000-07:00

by grandma and grandpa's request, here are few pictures of ethan sitting with pillow support:

2006-05-09T19:43:00.000-07:00

Ahhhhmmmmm~

2006-05-02T19:53:00.000-07:00

Ethan opens his mouth when anything gets close nowadays. i think he's getting ready to eat solid foods now. here's a clip shot by his daddy:

Weekly Outing

2006-04-30T20:38:00.000-07:00

Ethan's wearing a new outfit today ^-^ it's pretty hot today so he got to wear his new short sleeve shirt we bought him couple weeks ago. if you look closely it's matching whale shirt and pants =^-^=

We secured the car seat differently now and the seatbelt from the car goes across the car seat. ethan holds onto the seatbelt like he's riding roller coasters ^^;

ethan playing with blanket

2006-04-29T12:30:00.000-07:00

awww i didn't catch him pulling the blanket over himself and covering his face like he usually does in the morning. but here is a short clip of him playing with his blanket.

pretty in pink

2006-04-29T10:22:00.000-07:00

my parents bought this pink outerwear for ethan. it keeps him pretty warm in cold mornings.

New family flagship

2006-04-23T19:07:00.000-07:00

We traded in our sedan to this SUV cross over yesterday =) We figured that we're probably going to be hauling around lots of baby stuff and the SUV is more versatile.
Ta-da~

Ethan's walker

2006-04-21T22:38:00.000-07:00

yet another investment to keep ethan entertained and make grandma's job easier watching ethan at home. the walker is for bigger babies and ethan can't reach the floor at the lowest setting. grandma tighed strings on the walker so she can drag ethan around the living room. look! it's so comfortable he fell asleep!

April bath pictures

2006-04-21T22:08:00.000-07:00

Big difference from the first couple month eh? ethan looks like a chuncky monkey! i didn't have time to take more bath pictures because ethan's bath time is now 9pm and i didn't want him to catch cold so i was in a hurry to snap just a couple pictures. his bed time ritual is as follows: 8:30pm dance under the star -> 9pm bath -> 9:30pm eat and then hopefully he would fall asleep after that hehe

i just realized after viewing my blog i didn't post his March bath pictures. here are some march bath pictures. look how much bigger he got in just one month!

Ethan dancing

2006-04-20T16:55:00.000-07:00

Ethan loves the blinking star on his play mat. This is what he does everyday before he takes a bath and goes to sleep for the night =)

Yum Yum video

Video is shot at a different time period than the talking video before. he just happened to have the same bib on =)

Fishy Fishy Fishy

2006-04-16T16:43:00.000-07:00

Ethan playing on his stomach while watching the fish swim in the aquarium =)

Look Ma! I can turn side ways

2006-04-16T07:30:00.000-07:00

Although Ethan can't flip onto his stomach yet, he sure can turn to his side now.

New toy!

2006-04-13T15:49:00.000-07:00

I figure since Ethan likes to kick, he would be happy in something he can bounce in. well his legs are not long enough yet but he would have fun for about 10 min or so before he doesn't want to play anymore =)

Click here to see video!

Ethan's outing ^O^

2006-04-08T19:14:00.000-07:00

We took Ethan out to Cerritos today. the over all he had on is actually size 6-9 months o.O;; it fits just right and ethan is only 3 months old -__-;;

Getting ready..

what happens when ethan's hungry? eat in the car of course ^^. he didn't mind drinking formula while the car is moving

finally arrived at the mall! ethan likes to ride in the carrier more than the stroller. look, he fell asleep =)

Ethan talking

2006-04-06T18:46:00.000-07:00

Time change has messed up Ethan's sleeping schedule. grrrrrrrr now he doesn't sleep sometimes until 12am! but good thing is if he sleeps at 12am he doesn't wake up until 6:30am so at least i get that stretch of sleep =D here's a video clip of ethan talking with me.
