happy 100th day my baby!

aiden hit his 100th day of life this past saturday! he's grown so much each day...it amazes me as he discovers the world; recognizing our voices and turning towards us, finding his hands, putting things in his mouth, knowing day and night, knowing the smell of mommy's milk, ...i could go on. although it's only been 3 months, i feel we've come a long way since the day he's came into this world. it's exciting for me to see him grow and surreal to think that he'll one day grow up to be a man like his father...can't believe we all started so little and so innocent...more amazing is the one who gave us life.

special thank you to daddy for the beautiful pictures.

i'm at mom's...getting some alone time while aiden's napping w/ grandma.

so my newest task has been to search for daycare. i've been procrastinating mainly because i'm reluctant to take our munchkin to some of these places. after seeing how they're run i'm even more hesitant. my first one was a shocker. the infant room was overcrowded although they did abide by state regualtion (1:4 ratio). kids were crawling over each other, i saw another scratching the other and while i breastfed in the nursery another baby fell and hurt herself. it was messy. each one i've visited after that has been better, but still not good enough for me to be comfortable with. i cried after visiting the first place and have been on the verge of tears all the ones thereafter. i'm sure this is a dilemma that most working moms must go through...it's just harder than i thought it'd be.

aiden's finally rolled over a couple times after he did it for jihey at the beginning of this month. and ever since tracy's mentioned her coworker's baby "heil hitlering," aiden's started to do a little more of that w/ his hands instead of putting it in his mouth.

playtime with aiden. he's reading one of his favorite books.

first entry since...forever

it's been a while since i've last had my own blog on blogger... since 2002 and several years since i lost www.bettykim.com. then tried making it up w/ www.bellykim.com and never could recover what was lost. now i'm back w/ www.bellyjo.blogspot.com. i'm tempted to purchase www.bellyjo.com since it's available, but not sure if i want to fork up the fee or if i'll update enough. nonetheless, i'm excited to start rebuilding my blog site from a new foundation...a blank canvas. thanks to my hubby for encouraging me to start again. :)
