Happy Birthday Mom Mom Harris!

Memorial Day TMI!

Hi All,

I don't know what's going on but lately, I've been letting Mommy & Daddy sleep in more. This morning, for example, I woke up at 7:30am - but I then spent another 1.5 hours just hanging out in my crib "talking" to myself. Later in the afternoon, I took a 4 hour nap! You would think that I would be well rested with all of this sleep. However, I had a few meltdowns today when Mommy & Daddy took me to toys r us. I guess I was upset b/c they got me a vacuum cleaner so that I could do some chores around the house:(

OK - now for the TMI news:
I had my first poopy "accident" today. When Mommy realized that I was about to go poo poo (as evidenced by my toots, she took off my diaper and was trying to rush me on to the potty seat. However, I was having way too much fun playing with my lawn mower so I took off before she could get to me - hehehe! On my way down the hall, I plopped out a large nugget for her to clean up - hehehe! Needless to say, Mommy was not a happy camper. However, since Friday, I had two successful poops in the toilet - and I guess if Mommy was able to catch me, I would have had a 3rd.

So lately, I've been sleeping & pooping well.

Here is a picture of me pushing my lawn mower:

REVISED - I SLEPT 15 HOURS TODAY!!!

A Weekend of Many "Firsts"

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're all having a great Memorial Day weekend! I certainly am! It all started on Friday morning: I pooped in the toilet!!! Yeah poop! To be fair, I only pooped a little nugget, but it was still something, right?

Later on Friday, Grandma & Grandpa Yook & Uncle Chuck came to visit and we went out to dinner to Hee Been (this is the place where A & A had their 1st B-day party a few weeks back).

Here is Grandma Yook & me smiling for the camera:


In this picture, I'm showing off my "deer looking at headlights look." Also, I have a lot of food in mouth:


We were doing a belated birthday celebration for Grandpa Yook - so here is pic of the birthday Grandpa:


On Saturday, we had a Korean BBQ lunch at my house. I helped Daddy with the grilling:) During lunch, I tried Korean spare ribs and watermelon for the first time. Yum Yum!


Also on Saturday I started chomping directly from the a banana for the first time (before, Mommy always had to cut it up in small pieces).

On Saturday evening, we went to Church where I went to the nursery for the very first time. It was really cool and I loved the nursery director. When she saw me, she said that I looked like Sury (sp?) Cruise. That's the first time that someone compared me to a celebrity! Mommy & Daddy went to the main sanctuary where their learned about the 8th Commandment - thou shalt now steal. I did Ok in the nursery until I realized that Daddy & Mommy were gone! But the nice lady at the nursery was able to sooth me by pushing me in the stroller. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of my nursery experience, but in this picture you can see the special wrist bands that we had to wear (Mommy & I had the same ones):






OK - I'm pooped! Good night!

Love,
Jackie

Taking a Walk with Joey!

Hi Everyone,

I had an amazing walk today with my friend, Joey. We walked all around our neighborhood and had a great time catching up. Here are some pics of us in our strollers:






On a more serious note, please keep those prayers coming for my Pop Pop. He's doing better and is home now, but I still need your prayers. It's been a big adjustment for Pop Pop & Mom Mom. I really want Pop Pop to be 100% very soon!

Also, praise for my friend Lucian who is doing better (almost 100%). However, my friends Alex & Abby need your prayers - both are sick. I'm praying really hard on my own, but I think God would be more responsive if you guys prayed along with me. So please pray for Pop Pop, Alex & Abby.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Love,
Jackie

PS. You may have noticed that I'm wearing a super cute dress. I do tend to dress up for my walks b/c a girl has gotta look good where ever she goes (though I wish Mommy would follow my lead in this department). Anyways, the dress was a b-day present from my friend NJ and his parents. Thanks so much! I felt like a flowery princess in this dress. Sorry if I'm showing off a little too much leg:)

Happy Birthday Grandpa Yook!

Quick Recovery from Stomach Flu #2

Hi Everyone,

Did you miss me? Sorry that I haven't posted in a few days. I actually started writing a post on Saturday night, but Uncle Chuck started messing around on my computer and my post got deleted! Thanks Uncle Chuck;)

Well on Friday morning, I woke up to my own vomit - gross, I know! But I had to share anyways;) I was bit lethargic afterwards and I proceeded to take a 3 hour nap. After the nap, Mommy gave me some milk (not realizing that I had the stomach flu at the time - rather, she thought that I was sick from her terrible cooking). After that second bottle of milk, I threw up again. Mommy got worried and took me to see Dr. T, who confirmed that I had the stomach flu. I'm not sure how I got it since none of my friends had it (and luckily, didn't get it from me - at the least the last that I checked). I had a lowgrade fever 99.4 (Dr. T. said that a lot of doctors wouldn't even consider that a fever). Anyways, Mommy & Daddy put me on pedialyte. By evening time, I was feeling much better. By day 2, I felt 100% - but Mommy & Daddy continued to give me that nasty pedialyte to "be on the safe side." However, Mommy did sneak in some solids in my meals. In fact, I was feeling so good by day 2 that I helped Daddy mow the lawn. Didn't I do a good job with the lawn? Daddy says that he doesn't know what he would have done without my help!




Overall, this bout with the Mr. Stomach Flu was nothin compared to what I went through back in March. In March, I threw up 5 times within 2 hours. Also, I got Mommy and Daddy sick too. I didn't get diahrea - but I didn't get it last time either ("thank God" says Mommy & Daddy).

Today, Mommy & I headed to the shopping center to take care of some errands. Afterwards, she took me to Olney park so that I could have some fun on the swings:)

OK - that's it for now!

Love,
Jackie

Play Group with Small Group Kids!

Ok - the title is a little misleading b/c I am not in a small group anymore. But all the kids who came to playgroup today were all members of the same small group that Mommy & Daddy used to be in.

Here is a group photo. Unfortunately, it was super hard to get a good group photo. This photo was actually the best one out of 5 group photos - sorry my eyes are closed:(


Emma, Jacob & I are playing megablocks. I think Tyler was snoozin during this photo.


Here I am with Jacob in the ball pit.


I had so much fun with you guys! I didn't even have a meltdown today! Hope you guys come back again;)

Love,
Jackie

A & A's Dol Celebration!

Hi Everyone,

I had such an exciting weekend!

First, I got to attend A & A's Dol! It was fabulous!

As you can see, I had a grand ole time!



Here is a pic of my friend NJ and his parents, along with a new friend and her parents. The cute girl is only 1 week older than me!



Unfortunately, I didn't get too many photos of the birthday prince and princess. But I do have the following video clip to share:

After the party, I headed straight down to Richmond to celebrate Mother's Day with Grandma Yook. I'll post pics of that trip later.

Love,
Jackie
