pictures from james' first birthday party~

venue: the place we had james' birthday party is called "dae dong manor" in flushing, ny. they hold all kinds of celebrations.. it was really nice, i highly recommend it. the TLC and food was off the charts and they were really accommodating to us. we did the buffet style, and the team manager got not only us food, but both our parents food because she knew we didn't have any time to eat. how nice! :) also they decorate everything for you so all you have to do is decorate your picture table and that's about it. very convenient.

you get to choose from different colors.. i chose light blue.

everything is included..

my DIY disney themed place cards

i d/led the walt disney font and used the label stickers and stuck it on construction paper.

cutting his first cake! :)

what will he choose?!

going for it!

he took the whole napkin -_-

my baby chose the rice!

grandparents also thanking the guests for coming!

we also gave out raffle prizes and had our guests answer some questions. overall we had a blast.. i'm so thankful and grateful for everyone who came and for showing support and love to our family. james is so lucky to have such wonderful people around him and words will not express how thankful i am. it would be a lie if i said that it wasn't stressful planning a party for 100+ guests, but in the end it was all worth it! now it's time to plan for our wedding! yayy................. haha :)

photography: we were referred to this place called "baby president" in flushing, ny. not only were the pictures super cute (but fobby! =x), he was our mc and he offered to do it for free! awesomeness! not to mention he did a really great job at it too! all of our guests were super entertained and they were saying how much fun they had!

 the slideshow that we made:

the stuff that they have are pretty cute~ and they pay you out twice a month~ let's see how this will work for me!

9 months*

wow we're already 3/4 of the way through james' first year in this world! so many things happened this month and when i see james hitting a milestone it really amazes me.

so remember how on his 100th day he surprised us by laughing? well today at 9 months, he surprised us by saying "ba-ba-ba... ba-ba-ba-ba!" lol :) i've been waiting for so long for him to start talking to us! and it's so funny because it really seems like he's trying to say something. i think this month was the month where he started doing lots of things.. he also started to crawl, stand on his own, started to "cruise", started eating REAL food (pasta, rice, and whatever that's on our plate), and started to sleep throughout the night. he also went to another wedding and got another haircut! :) he met some new friends and had lots of fun playing with them~

oh! we're renovating his room! will post up before and after pics. so excited~
