「ん？またこの帽子？？」

"aaargh!! mommy, i don't need this hat!"

「この帽子いらないってば！」

そして可愛いストレッチズボン（？）を海に買ってしまいました。

also, there's a mini-carnival happening right outside our apartment this weekend.

Kai isn't old enough yet but it looked like lotsa fun.

そしてこの週末は近所でプチ・カーニバルが行われてます。

the cutest butt award....

a gift from my grandfather in japan--(kai's GREAT grandfather)

thank you Gchan!

playing with baby clothes...!

i'm always up in the morning WAAAAAY before james.
so i like to mess with him.... like this!
hahahahah!! you can tell he's still sleepy...

"me too me too! take a pic of me!"
hahaha wow..mine came out kinda creepy!

rawr! dino zip up hoodie!

!!!!
i found this cute dino 3-piece outfit!
well, i should first explain my snoopy doll..

i've had this snoopy doll since i was a teeny weeny baby♥
my grandpa bought it for me when i was like 2 years old.
he's been my favorite stuffed animal ever since!
when i was a kid, i used to dress snoopy up in baby clothes...mostly girl clothes :)
he's the perfect size!
so after we got the dino outfit, i dressed up snoopy..and voila!
it fits him perfectly!!

however, jamus doesn't seem amused by it...
hahahaha!!!

baby crib...GET!

YAY!!
little baby got his crib today!
thank you grandma! ♥
let me tell ya...there are so many cribs out there, it was almost driving me nuts just to pick one out! they have different sizes, different functions, quality, etc.
oof....
but we settled with a simple and not too large crib.
it also turns into a toddler bed for when he gets bigger!
yay i'm so excited! i think we'll build it next weekend (i LOVE building furniture)
as for the bedding...we're gonna scope around.
i saw a few cute ones..like super adorable bedding sets, but i want to make sure i find the one i love!

and of course on our way out of the store, i spot this owl outfit...
Yes, of course i bought it! look at it!

baby shopping with my ma...!

i had monday off (dentist...boo! but no cavities♫)
and my mom has mondays off...so we went a little baby shopping!
we went to babies r us to check out some cribs... there are so many different kinds, i still don't know which one to get :S but we'll get that later...

so she helped me pick out some other necessities... like bottles..
my gosh they have a million selections for bottles alone..!
my mom couldn't remember which ones she used but she really liked the glass baby bottles for home use... (easier to sterilize) so we got some of those. and a starter kit of plastic bottles.
a few more baby clothes and (beanie) hats! squeee!!
since he'll be here around winter time i'll need to keep the little bugger warm♥
other stuff like bottle cleaners and nursing pads... oy... so much to get...
and lastly we got him a tub!
wow..this is starting to feel more real...! O_o

the shopping has begun...!

yep...after we found out we're having a boy, i went mini-shopping!
the fun part..clothes♥
i picked up a few newborn~3months outfits.
but i still need to get the more important things...like a crib, bottles, stroller, etc.
OY!

i seem to like the monkeys♥ so cute!

first onesies...!

so erika couldn't wait any longer....she told me she was purchasing a few onesies suitable for both boys and girls.

PJ???!

I KNEW IT!!!!

(if you didn't know, erika is a HUUUUGE pearl jam fan--like hardcore.

she's in their fan club and she never misses a show in Seattle if they come)

PJ clearly stands for Pearl Jam.

these are awfully cute tho--but they do look more like BOY onesies.
