Hello world! I know it’s been complete radio silence from me, and I’m embarrassed to say I have not kept up with the blog in a long time. But I have a good excuse. We bought a house and moved! I have a separate post lined up on this big milestone of ours, so please stayRead More
Baby Talk: Starting Solids
Starting solids is both super exciting and super nerve-racking! I debated between traditional weaning and baby-led weaning and decided to do both. I felt more comfortable giving her purees and incorporating chunky foods for her to pick up. We started solids when Em was about 5.5 months with rice cereal per our pediatrician’s recommendation. BadRead More
Summer Babes
It’s officially summer, y’all! Although, here in North Carolina, it’s been summer for a while with temperatures averaging in the high 80’s. At one point last week, it even hit 100. I’m definitely not a summer person due to heat. I don’t do well with heat. Last summer when I was massively pregnant, I livedRead More
Father’s Day
Father’s Day means so much more to me now since I get to celebrate the love of my life on this day too! I always knew Steve would be a great dad, but I had no idea he would surpass all my expectations of what it meant to be a father. No words need to be saidRead More
Memorial Day Weekend
After almost 1.5 weeks of 8 months sleep regression, Steve and I welcomed the long weekend with open arms! We have survived yet another sleep regression, yay! Although this one wasn’t as bad as her 4 months one, it was still very exhausting. So, so glad to have our good sleeper back! My parents visited forRead More
Real Mom Talk: Mommy Guilt
I don’t think any parent in this world is completely satisfied with their way of child rearing. Like every parent, I do my hardest to provide the best care for Em. With plethora of child rearing opinions we see and hear from others, I always end up second guessing myself on how I’m doing as a mother. Sometimes,Read More
Six Months Postpartum Update
Hooray! We kept her alive for 6 months! ;D I’m joking, she has been an absolute joy, and we cannot believe she is already 6 months old! I swear I’ll be saying that every time she gets older. Little miss Emma has been growing like crazy! At 6 months, she is checking in at 17 lbsRead More
Real Mom Talk: Sleep Regression Sucks
Although I don’t have any previous experience with babies, I think Em was/is a great sleeper for the most part. I know I talked about never getting enough sleep in the previous posts, but that’s pretty normal and expected for parents with newborns. Now, we weren’t as lucky as those whose babies slept through theRead More
Emma’s 100th Day Celebration!
In Korean culture, we celebrate baby’s 100th day after birth. Unfortunately it was common back in the day for babies to pass away due to sicknesses, so the 100th day celebrates life and achieving this significant milestone. I have also heard that the 100th day also celebrates parents of the baby as well since the firstRead More
Cheers to Another Year Well Spent!
Happy (super) belated New Year everyone! Can you believe that 2015 is long gone and we are off to a start of another year? I cannot tell you enough, it’s crazy how time flies! I started this blog at the end of last year, and looking back on everything that has happened in 2015, itRead More
