My Taste of Home

Here we are again ……. We caught cold again. Last Winter (cold seasons) we were sick over and over, non stop. Spring is allergy seasons and we already getting sick for the past 2 weeks. Maybe we need to live in a bubble like “Bubble Boy”. I should invest my money on Tylenol and Motrin’s stock since we’ve been taking this medicine like crazy.

Let’s get to the good part, I managed to snaps some pictures of Josh while we were goofing around at home.

Groceries shopping always a fun weekend day for us. Josh enjoys driving his car and his job is getting the items we purchased into the cart.

Last weekend we went to Bahama Breeze Restaurant for lunch with grandma. That was fun!

Lastly, but not least, we have Joshua’s picture eating his dinner all by himself.

My new favourite music video from Enrique Iglesias. He’s hot!!!! I love this guy not only because of his good look but his voice, his personality and I think he’s a little shy, funny and down to earth too. I hope you guys enjoy this video like I do.

Josh is a very independent and loves to do things on his own. He help mommy throw his dirty diapers in the trash can every time we change his diaper and he also put his dirty clothes in the washing machine. He is such a big help. His books and toys have to be done his way or he’ll change it back the way he wants it if you messed with his stuffs. Oh well, its fine with me. He also loves to help with groceries, I have to be quick picking a bag for him to carry. If he decides to carry certain things, it will be the end of the world if I won’t let him carry because the bag he picks was heavy. It was funny seeing a toddler trying to carry a gallon jar of milk on his own but this little man is a fighter, he drag the bag of milk until he get it inside the house.

Last weekend he decided he needs to redecorate my bed, obviously I don’t know how to put my pillows at the right place. After a few times attempt to put my pillows back the way I like it unsuccessfully, I decided to just let him finish with what he’s trying to do. He also think  I don’t need 2 of my other pillows. You can see the finished product of Josh’s design below.

My simple and boring decoration. 

 Josh is doing his magic.

 Ta-da ……. It’s done.

What do you guys think? Is it cool to put one of your pillow side ways like that?

Last Sunday, we took Josh to the beach and Brandon our cousin’s son was there too. They had so much fun and completely wipe out by noon. They love playing with the waves and Josh keeps saying “jump” every time the waves getting closer to him. Believe it or not, I had a lot of fun too and no sun burn this time.

Josh had so much fun at Rain Forest Cafe.

Today Josh turns 18 months old. Wow… My little man is not so little anymore. He’s very talkative and tries to say everything he heard. It’s time for us to watch what he’s watching on TV and what we were saying. Thankfully I am not a person who likes to use bad words but living in the U.S, people like to use the “F” word all the time. I am not sure how to handle the situation when the time comes. Any suggestions, Mommy bloggers out there?

A few words Josh can say clearly are; No, Yes, Mama, Mummy (new word as of yesterday), Dada, Elmo, Aiydan, Go, No More, Nenek, Jump, Up, Down, Bath, Poo Poo, Ball, Hi, Hello, Bye Bye, Gabba Gabba and Thank you.

Other words he can’t pronounce properly yet are; Yushz (Juice), Nana (Banana), Ba Ba (Milk or Pacifier), Erk (Yuck), Ek (Egg), Shoo (Shoes) and bunch of other gibberish words.

Last weekend I planned to cook my meals for a whole week. I think it is the best since Josh is growing up and need more of my times. I know for sure that I am too tired to cook my dinner after 8pm because I only can eat after Josh went to bed. In order to eat good foods, I better starts cooking during the weekend for the whole week and freeze it. One of the dishes I made yesterday was “Beef Liver in Black Pepper Soy Sauce” from Salt & Turmeric. You can get the recipe at her blog. I had a sample from this dish….. ok, I have a huge plate of white rice to “test” and it was so good. Josh also have a few bites and seem to like it very much. Thanks to Farina for sharing the recipe. Next, I am going to finish cooking my Sambal Ikan Bilis with Tempe, Sambal Udang and Beef Rendang. Josh was a little cranky and hanging all over me, so I only managed to cook the sambal without adding the main ingredients. Hopefully I’ll be able to get my cooking done by tonight.
