You're so funny!!!!

Abby was laughing so hard @ daycare today... my family this weekend commented how she scrunches her nose when she laughs. I wonder if she learned that from me? Funny what little things kids will pick up. The 2nd one looks like she's had enough fun and saying something like "oooh no more pictures please"...

Family Reunion in Williamsburg

We had a bit of a family reunion this past weekend all 11 of us met in Williamsburg, VA. Since my parents have been in Korea they hadn't seen Abby since she was a Flower Girl @ my sister's wedding in Sept 07. Also my sister Jenny & her husband Abe are moving to the UK in a few weeks. It was so nice we could spend a little with them before they left. It was really nice to hang out with all the Yuh's :) its rare we all get to hang out together.

With Halahbuhjee (Grandpa), she's curling her hair :) actually Halmuhnee (Grandmom) was curling her's and Abby wanted one!

Saturday @ Marbles

Nick, Grandmom & Grandpa Gregory and I took Abby to her 1st trip to the Marbles Kid Museum (http://www.marbleskidsmuseum.org/) today. It was opening day of the Marbles Olympics and the Carolina Hurricanes were there too. As much as Abby loves the water table @ daycare, we thought she'd have more fun @ the splash area... maybe cuz she's still a bit short fo for the area. I tried to put a smock on her but it was long, she tripped.




Playing Connect 4 with Grandpa


Went up on the Pirate ship with daddy! Argggh~~!!


Hurricanes - mock locker room set-up with Staal & Ward's gear. Of course daddy & Abby had to take a picture with it. Abby is not a fan of hats or helmets, of any kind.


On the gymnastics mat, we have high hopes for her one day :)

Beach Trip 2008 (part 2)

here's the house "Sugar Magnolia" we stayed at:

Playing around on the wrap around porch. Abby really liked to sit on those stairs.

FINALLY!!!! Whew~ I got a shot of her with the cherry sunglasses on her face. She's usually too busy playing with them. Pls excuse her nose and massive drool. Her molars that poked in are coming in fierce! She now has 12 teeth :) She managed to catch a cold @ the beach... poor girl. I took off the most offensive boogers in photoshop (as you can tell I'm not very good at it).

Beach Trip 2008 (part 1)

We just got back from our annual beach trip. This year we went to Topsail Island, NC and rented a new (to us) house. The house was so extremely nice and overlooked the ocean & playground.

On Father's Day Abby, Nick & I went for a stroll along the beach.

I love the birds in the background

The playground directly across the street was a big plus. Here's Abby on the dinosaur. Hands down her all-time favorite is the classic swing. But its pretty hard to take pictures of her in it... we met a 5 mo puppy Bulldog named Torro. We should have gotten a picture of them, they were both so happy to meet.

Time to smell the flowers

We went to church on Sunday. Which lately is not as frequent as I know we should. Lately one of us is sick (usually Abby) so taking a cranky, screaming baby is not ideal. I also do not want to take a sick baby to their nursery. We are very against parents that purposely do that (esp @ daycare!!)


Anyway... Abby wore a new dress she got from her birthday (thanks Auntie Jayne & Uncle Scott). She looked so pretty and it was such a nice day, I took Abby outside for a few pictures.
This one is such a classic Abby these days.

Body Painting by Abby

Today's art activity @ daycare was body painting. Abby had soooo much fun! Can't you tell?! HUGE thx to Ms. Sarah for catching this shot and letting me keep the picture. God bless the teachers for doing this & cleaning up this mess, she didn't look like a smurfette at all when I picked her up ;)

Pigtails & Artsplosure

It's a generally known fact, I have hair envy. Specifically envious of other mom's that could put a pigtail on their baby girl's hair. The last month or so I've been thinking Abby may need a haircut soon BUT this also delays chances for that pigtail I've been dying for. Its a Korean-American mommy's mantra to tightly pull a pigtail and stick it straight on top of her head.

Here's Abby's very 1st pigtail EVER! I was very pleasantly surprised, she did NOT yank it off her head like the bows, headbands, sunglasses, hats (getting the picture?!) basically everything I put on her head.


I'd dare to say she looks pleased her hair isn't flopping all over her face. This was only the 1st and she only kept it on for 10-15 mins till bedtime. We'll try it again in the morning.



This past w'end we went to Raleigh's Artsplosure. We went early so not to coincide with Abby's naptime. Too bad some of the (food) vendors weren't open when we got there. The gigantic catepillar was a tent that we climbed inside for a minute.


I'm a big fan of gecko's so naturally a friendly Geico Gecko was a terrific pic opp :)

Lil' Miss Buckethead

Abby loves to play with her baby lego blocks. What's even BETTER is the box the blocks come in. We once put it or the top on her head to see what she'd do. Now she just likes to put it on her head by herself. Even if there's blocks in it, it all just tumbles out while she gets the box on her head. It's pretty funny, if we put the top on our head, she comes by & takes it.

Ready, Set, Go!


and just like she likes it here's our Lil' Miss Buckethead :) Do you like her new polka-dot top? Granny made it! It goes with a pair of polka-dotted lime green pants.


We play a lot in our screened-in porch lately. She love love loves to go outside. Her favorite new thing is to go up & down on the one stair between the house & the porch.

Abby smooches makes me SMILE

Playing around in Abby's room on a Sat AM. Kudos to Granny, the red & white polka-dotted outfit is another Chez Granny creation.



Not the greatest of all pictures only since I look like I literally rolled out of bed & what's going on w/that crazy hair?! But with all that said, this is THE money shot I've been wanting ever since Abby's been laying these big, fat, wet smooches on me. Thanks to my dear hubby for capturing one of my favorite moments ever.

She's coming in...


& here's that big, wet kiss I told you about!! Poor Sparky he hates the camera. His next arch nemesis is probably the vacuum. Not sure which is worse lately. Since we hardly vacuum ourselves lately, it's probably the dag-gone camera he hates. You can see him wanting to hide his nose in the bottom right corner. Poor pooch.
