Miles turns 1!

Our baby boy is 1!

Our precious baby is technically no longer a baby! He is now a toddler. I can't believe how fast the year went. I can still remember the night I gave birth.. Miles was so alert and sweet right from the beginning. And he has amazed us a million times over in the past year. Tim and I are just so happy and grateful for our baby boy. And I hope he had a great first birthday.

I decorated our hotel room a little bit and bought a few balloons. (Miles loves balloons) I also made some birthday cupcakes for our little guy. Our little celebration became even more special with an impromptu virtual birthday party with family, through Google Hangout. First, my brother, Herman, and I were video-chatting and thought it would be cool to have more people on.. so, my sister downloaded it and my brother in law also downloaded it. It turned out perfectly. Miles got to see his cousins on the computer and laugh with them. They all helped sing Happy Birthday to him while we brought out his cupcakes & candle. And they also got to watch Miles devour his first cupcake! (He loved his cupcake!) I'm so glad it turned out nicely. I was a bit bummed at first when we moved to Connecticut that we couldn't throw Miles a birthday party with kids, but this was perfect. Even the kids online interacted with each other! They loved watching Miles =) I'm really glad Miles had a great 1st birthday. He is such a precious boy and deserved a wonderful birthday =)

Here is a picture of Miles a year ago.. so sweet and fragile.. so amazing.

The next day, Miles and I were just hanging out in the hotel room. Miles has been so active now and crawls around everywhere! He loves to hang out under the table here in our hotel room. Here is a video of him being super cute:

Happy Easter!

It has been a little while since I last posted. We have been in Connecticut for a couple of weeks now. We have been driving around and checking out different areas and restaurants and at the same time looking for a place to live. We recently decided on a rental a few days ago, so we're pretty excited about that. Just recently, I had to go to the ER here because I had some really bad stomach pains that woke up me at 5am on Friday.. and it ended being due to my gall bladder.. I have gall stones and one was stuck. I was admitted to the hospital and ended up staying there overnight. (Not my favorite thing) It has been a busy couple days because of that, but we still enjoyed our Easter today.

I hope everyone had a nice Easter. When Miles woke up, I had him look for Easter eggs around our hotel room. I gave him his Easter basket a few days ago so he would be a little used to it before today =) He was pretty good at seeing the eggs right away. His eyes got huge when we stepped into the living room area with the eggs. It was really cute. This is Miles' 2nd Easter. Last year, he was only a couple of weeks old .. amazing how time flies! Tomorrow, Miles will turn the big 1!
