Nearly 9 months

So, our sweet Simon is nearly 9 months now. That’s also about the same amount of time since my last blog post. That wasn’t intentional, just trying to get this 3-kid thing down. I think I’m in a pretty good place now, so I’m trying to get the blog going again. Thought I’d start it off with these CRAZY adorable shots of what may be the cutest child EVER. I know…I know…I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it time and time again. It’s just true.

(Btw, Joe took the shot of him in the green hat. Pretty awesome, huh? …which I knitted, as a matter of fact. More on that later. And my Aunt Peggy crocheted the fabulous blue blanket. Kind of amazing.)

And yes, he’s wearing Baby Legs…because he’s cute and he can get away with it.

Simon’s First Portraits

Simon’s Birth

{I copied this post from Joe. It’s posted on our family blog, chengblog.com}

(Sorry for the late posting of this very important news—everything goes on Facebook these days!)

We’re so happy to welcome Simon Lewis Cheng into our family! He was born on June 8, 2010, weighing in at a healthy 8 lbs, 7 oz.

Ten fingers, ten toes, and everything else appears to be in working order as well!

Noah and Ollie are doing great with their new baby brother, especially Ollie, who takes his new role of “big brother” very seriously.

We’re so thankful to God for blessing us with another amazing little person to take care of. Simon has already brought so much joy into our home!

Little Chef

Ollie is so helpful in the kitchen…

Although…I suppose a bit wasteful. It’s okay, his cuteness makes up for it. heh.

Just adorable

So, I don’t really have a story here. I just think these are adorable. I love my little guys so much! Even when they’re upset, they are cute! hehehe.

This one of Ollie just sends me over the edge. He was so annoyed at me cause I kept taking so many pictures. But I got this awesome expression from him, which makes the crying afterwards TOTALLY worth it! haha. ;) Sorry bud, but your Mom is crazy…and you are CUTE!

Counting

Just showing off Noah’s sweet Chinese skills. Thanks to his Amah & Yeh Yeh.

 

The other day, a stranger asked me if Noah knew any Chinese. I told him he could count to ten…then Noah proceeded to count to thirty! I must say I was a very proud, and shocked, mommy. And the man was very jealous that Noah had such awesome Grandparents that teach him so well.

ismodern ROCKS!

ismodern is a modern children’s clothing store that has the GREATEST boys clothes. Finally, a designer who takes interest in BOYS. She is an architect turned clothing designer, which is why, I believe, she has that extra edge. Very cool. They just got even better cause they are sponsoring Pictures for a Purpose. Our fundraiser to stop child trafficking. How great is that?

My friend, Kara, came over to practice for the fun event, which takes place this Saturday. And of course, she is a brilliant photographer, so she was able to take these awesome pictures of my boys wearing ismodern! Aren’t they great models? Even monkey. haha.

 

 

So…if you are looking for some great children’s outfits…visit ismodern.com. And if you are looking for some awesome photographs…visit KaraHicksPhotography.com. She’s got some great art prints for sale too. Those sales will help her go back to Thailand to document and eventually combat human trafficking. So don’t hesitate to buy some.
