ceo wanna be…
Written by beeber on November 2, 2007 – 8:59 pm -Being the MAC addict, dAd loved this new outfit that anZel has. He probably would have loved to have anZel dressed as Steve Jobs for Halloween, except he would’t spend the $400 for iPhone prop.
It must be love
Written by beeber on October 31, 2007 – 9:09 pm -anZel and I talked about what he would like to be for Halloween months ago. Originally, he said he wanted to be Max in Where the Wild Things Are. Lately, the Itsy Bitsy spider song has fascinated him a great deal. So I gave him a choice of Max or spider. Naturally, he said spider.
I made a mad dash to the local St. Vincent DePaul for material yesterday. Luckily, I was able to find an XXL black velour woman top and a bright orange t-shirt for his costume. When I asked Grandma Helen to help, she said either she would do it or I would have to do it all. Since she made many of my outfits when I was little, I grateful stepped back as the assistant and let her take the lead. We started at 8:30 pm after anZel went to bed. Grandma and I worked side by side. She provided instruction on where to sew and I tried to keep my eyes peeled in order to sew a straight line.
Our tools were limited to a sewing machine, dull scissors, white threads for the sewing machine and our bare hands. Overall, I made a terrible seamstess and called it a night at 11:10 pm. Grandma Helen, the perfectionist, worked diligently and tirelessly until 5:50 am to finish this costume by hand. The end product looks good enough for the store. anZel was the only child in his day care with a handmade/homemade costume and he received rave reviews from his teachers. If you see a child wearing a spider costume until the end of the year, his name is anZel.
Material cost: $3.9
Love and sleep: Priceless

wearing dAd’s hat (he was quite upset at beeber for not giving him the camera)
finally master the block stacking skill (grandma and anZel walked around it for good few hours and preserved for us to see when we came home from work)

“Bingo, who’s your daddy!”
“Dude, somebody move me!!”
birthday photos
Written by jlz on April 21, 2007 – 3:26 pm -anZel’s officially 1 now…it feels strange to say that he’s 1, instead of some number of months. It feels like he’s growing up really fast…I still remember the days when we were asked how old he is, and we say “X days!” Then it’s “X weeks”, then “X months” and now “1 year old!”
Thinking back, it’s been a tough year for beeber. She’s always running around taking care of things, regular checkups, picking up toys for anzel, figuring out how to heal anZel’s eczema, etc etc. Mother’s love is definitely unconditional…Also, without grandma helen’s help, it woulda been a disaster for us new parents. Can’t imagine how we could have made it without her.
We had a great birthday party out at the park for anZel today. Here are some random photos:

Written by jlz on April 1, 2007 – 1:15 pm -Haven’t posted too many photos of anZel lately…here’s a good batch of them. anZel’s been doing really good on everything except for eating. Can never get the little dude to eat much solid. It required all kinds of tricks from beeber and grandma before anZel would eat a few spoons. Yesterday when anZel had 1.5 cups of yogurt, beeber was sure that she can win the lotto that day!
anZel’s been able to sign out the plane and the moon in the sky if he sees them.
