Meet this beautiful family! This was definitely a fun shoot so I had a hard time trying not to overload this post with pictures. I would post process every single one if I could, but I need to go back to being a mom and wife now.</div>

When Lydia's mom warned me that Lydia probably would not sleep during the session, I didn't really believe her. :) Well, here she is wide awake for the entire 2+ hours she was there. Luckily she has beautiful, big eyes so I didn't mind at all. </div>

So now that I have more than enough photos of my kiddos for Christmas, it was time to do the family shots. I really wish all DSLRs came with a remote!! Family photos in our house stretches across a few weekends b/c my kids and, more importantly, my husband, do not have the patience level needed to do a full hour shoot. LOL Can you guess which one is going on the Christmas card? ;)

River is 1 and Hunter will be 3 in two months. They are at the age now where they are starting little fights here and there and taking each other's toys away. If I leave them alone for too long, I will find River crying with a bucket over her head while Hunter is holding it down so that she can't take it off. But River is no saint either. She knows how to work it now where she tries to get her brother in trouble by screaming really loud and doing one of her fake cries. Very cute! It makes me smile. </div>

This is a traditional Korean dress. These dresses are worn for special occasions like 1 year birthdays, weddings, celebrations, etc. I remember growing up and wearing these every Christmas. I loved it.</div>

Ok, I know you've probably had enough of all this River's Birthday Party talk, but we just finished up her Second 1st Birthday party today and I am none the more relieved!!!! You can't imagine how I feel, when I say, I'm glad it's over! It was a blast!! We are so blessed to have make such wonderful friendships wherever we go. This time around, I did not have time to be the Photographer. So I eagerly await for my friend's husband to send me the photos he took. But I did have a few minutes to take photos of my creation...of course.

<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, the day has arrived...no more mashing baby food, no more mixing baby formula, no more stressing about food allergies (well, sorta), and hopefully, no more being trapped in the house because of River's two naps a day...well, that will be in the near future. So, she is on whole milk now and though she is not a fan of it, she drinks it only out of Hunter's cup. That part cracks me up! I think it all boils down to River wanting whatever Hunter has. She has gotten really good at waving hi/ bye, and she says "umma" (mom) quite frequently. She refuses to eat anything but what is on my plate so before she even turned one, she was already eating salmon, tilapia, steak, pasta, and whatever gourmet dishes I cook up every night. haha (jk, I don't cook gourmet meals) She STILL only has two bottom teeth, which makes me wonder, "How the heck is she chewing all this food?" That is why God is a Master Creator. Because even though things sometimes seem impossible, He made it all possible. And though there are times I worry about her development and wonder why she still has no teeth or hair, I know our Father and Creator knows exactly the amount of hair on River's head and will raise her up to a Beloved Child of God with body parts and all. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So finally, here is my little princess. She still can not stand on her own, though she's done it for a few seconds here and there, so I propped her up on a box. She is a moving target so it worked out well. She was too afraid to move. haha </div>

CAKE SMASH!! ok so I didn't have an extra cake so we had to use a cupcake. Her birthday cake was made of fondant so I don't think there would've been much smashing with that one. <br />

Here are photos from her party, which yours truly styled all on my own and spent countless months handmaking all these decorations. And I wish I could say I'm glad it's all over, but I have a second party planned for her in a week. I guess I'll be getting good use out of my decorations.<br />

Ok so everyone wants family photos...but instead of posting the usual boring ones, I thought I would post the bloopers. The shots that no one ever sees because it's not worth paying for.<br />

This is sweet, little Charlotte. At only 2 weeks old, she was very alert. It was actually quite funny how she kept looking around wondering what we were doing. I am surprised that I have photos of her with her eyes closed because I felt like she was awake most of the time. And then every so often, she'd let out a cry of protest because all she really wanted to do was be held by her mom. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here she is...my beauty! I normally hate posting multiple shots of one pose and so have been trying really hard to edit myself. But I just couldn't help it this time. It's so hard to edit when you are in love with your subject. I can't believe she is already 11 months. Planning her 1 year party has pretty much taken over my life. So I always have to stop and remind myself to relish every moment with her and not be consumed by unimportant things. I shared last month that she was having weight gain issues. I'm happy to say that she is finally gaining weight steadily. Though I am starting to realize that being small is just how she is. She drinks about 30 oz of formula a day, in addition to table foods, and she still is pretty small, weighing in at only 19 lbs today. On another note, she hates baby food and only wishes to eat what I am eating. So we have moved on to table foods and I'm basically stuck with a box full of baby smoothie pouches that I don't know what to do with. Still no sign of wanting to stand or walk, which is quite odd because a few months ago, all she did was want to stand. Now when I try to make her stand, she pulls up her legs. But she has gotten really good a cruising on furniture now. I guess she doesn't want to grow up too fast. <br>
River started raising her hands in the air when I say "Hallelujah!" It's something we taught Hunter too. I guess when you are raised in a christian home, that's a must! haha. She also loves to clap her hands and wave hi. <br>
Let the countdown to her birthday begin!! </div>

Look at this face!! I just want to bite his chubby cheeks every day. Luckily, I'm not a carnivore. LOL He is now 2yrs and 9 months old. The reason why I don't post more photos of him is because as he gets older, he has less tolerance for taking photos. He laughs as he starts bolting away from me the minute he sees me take out my camera. He has a crazy imagination and wild personality. He is also a doting older brother, but don't get me wrong, he does occasionally torture his younger sister, River. Even at this young age, he has a great sense of humor and is constantly saying things that shock our pants off. He keeps the laughter alive in our family. It's also amazing to see all the things he learned in his preschool. I had no idea he could do have the things he does, until the teachers started telling me. And then when I would ask him to do it at home, he would do it. For example, he has the Lord's Prayer memorized and this preschool poem called All Things Bright and Beautiful. He has all that memorized. Amazing what a 2 1/2 yr old brain can absorb and spit out. He amazes me. I am so honored and proud to be his mom. Love you little guy!</div>

10 months??? Already??? Where is the time going? So she still crawls and pulls herself up to stand, but now she cruises on furniture. Nothing new really. She still only has 2 teeth on the bottom and still no hair. Oh wait! How could I forget. She started waving to us too. It's the cutest thing to watch her to do it because she almost seems amazed at herself and will stare at her hand for a few minutes while she's doing it. Just as we get excited to see the new things she's been doing, she gets even more intrigued. <br />
Also, I pretty much stopped breastfeeding and she now drinks out of a straw cup (I decided to skip over the sippy cup). I really didn't want to stop nursing but at her 9 month checkup we found out that she did not gain a single ounce. And her Dr was a little worried so I started feeding her in a cup and she drank so much more! I couldn't believe it. So it made me a little sad to think that for three months she wasn't getting the milk she needed to grow. She's so much more chatty now and happier. I guess a full stomach will do that to you. So now we have to catch up on 3 months of lost time and I'm trying to feed the heck out of her. haha She also prefers solids instead of baby food. So I started giving her cut up bits of food but it worries me since she has only 2 teeth. Anyway, that's enough of an update. Here's my sweet River - who is her namesake - and never sits still like a river. haha</div>

This is River's nursery. When Hunter was first born, I put into a lot of attention into decorating his nursery. Everything had to match and be perfect and of course be completed before he was born. Well, with the second child, it was a bit harder to get everything so perfect. And of course, she was born and her nursery was not complete. It was a constant work in progress. It took me over a year to collect all the pieces that I needed to make it just right. I had all these ideas for color. But in the end, I went for a cream neutral palette and Voila!! In between feedings and nap times, I managed to finally finish it. </div>

And of course, the nursery wouldn't be complete without the beautiful baby girl it was designed for. Her smile just melts my heart every time. </div>

DC/ Alexandria/ NoVa, Family/ Child/ Newborn PhotographerI recently started regretting not keeping a journal of Hunter's growth and development over the last two years. Then as I was editing some recent pictures of River, I thought, why not use this blog to keep track of all of that. Hopefully blogger will still be around when my kids get older so that they can read it all. <br />
River will be 8 months in less than a week. She is my sweet girl who, along with her brother, makes my life all the more fun and hectic. Where is the time going because I can't believe she will be 8 months very soon. She is eating lots of solids. She thoroughly enjoys eating which is a great change of pace from having a toddler who is a picky eater. She started crawling right before she turned 6 months, and now she keeps trying to stand and cruise on furniture but her poor little legs keep buckling on her. I call her my littler overachiever. Her bottom two teeth started coming in also. <br />
River makes raising babies a breeze. So much so that I contemplated having a 3rd child. But reality slowly set in, and I decided...maybe not. hahaha <br />

This was a very busy past week for us. First we drove up to the Pocono Mountains and went on a short ski/ water park family trip with my sisters. The kids absolutely loved it!!! Though I think I may have enjoyed the water park more than my 2 yr old, Hunter. River as always was very compliant with everything that we did; even if it meant being lugged around in my Ergo wrapped up in a puffy infant snowsuit in 30 degree weather. She is seriously my dream baby! Then after that, we celebrated my sister-in-law's wedding. It was quite a celebration. I have to say that even though I didn't know about 95% of the people there, this just might have been favorite wedding. It's all because of this great band named Touch...or The Touch. They were awesome!!! I mean, beyond awesome. Any band who can sing Gangnam Style and can sound exactly like PSY even though they are of a completely different race, is a true talent in my book.
So there is this old Korean tradition called a PaeBaek where you get dressed up in traditional Korean garb and do all kinds of silly things like tossing chestnuts and going on piggy back rides and drinking tea. I won't bother explaining b/c it would take up half my post so I'll leave it up to you to google. And since pictures mean a thousand words, I'll let my pictures do the talking. </div>

Congratulations Susan and James!!
