Mommy’s always behind the camera. My new goal is to take more pictures WITH Linus.

3 months – Giggling and learning new things!
Our Maknugget turned 3 months!
Our sweet Linus wakes up every morning happy as can be. How can mommy be tired when she sees this face?
Our 3 month portraits turned out so well. 
Linus picked out his first toy at the store. Introducing Harvey (aka Ha-Ha). In the past month, he learned to grab onto things and hold them. He loves holding Harvey and also loves cuddling blankets. 
Baby Linus can now roll over unassisted from back to tummy and can hold his head up real high! 
LA Fair
We went to the LA Fair to eat and play. 
Linus hits up the Aquarium
We decided to spend the some time with cousins Alyssa and Alton and go to the aquarium. 
Linus slept through most of the tour. 
But the moments that he was awake, he enjoyed looking at the fish.
Except when Dad woke him up for this picture. WTF?
Our baby is one month old!
July 20, 2012 – I can’t believe it. Our baby is one month old! It went by so fast, I’m afraid if I blinked, I would have missed it.
At one month, you got to take your first stroll outside.
And Daddy gave you your one month bath.
Look how many people came to come celebrate with you! These are some of the friends you will grow up with.
4 weeks – Linus hits 10lbs!
We’ve made it to 4 weeks. It was so tough, but we are starting to get the hang of being parents now. Linus and I have gotten into our own rhythm. My days are consumed with naps, feedings, and poops – but it’s so worth it.
Daddy has become a pro at giving baths. This is a picture of Linus’ first bath after his belly button stump fell off. He wasn’t too happy here, but he loves baths now.
Linus loves to play on the playmat. He’s getting so big and strong! He no longer fits in newborn diapers or clothes anymore.
Ah-gong finally came down from Canada when Linus was 10 days old. Together we celebrated Canada Day with our newest little Canadian.
I can’t believe we’re about to make it to one month. The time just flew by!
Day 3 – Sleepless nights
Wow, waking up every 2-3 hours is TOUGH! But then I get moments when I see you smile and it’s all worth it. At least PoPo is here to help. We could never survive without her.
Day 1 – We’re heading home!
22 hrs after being born, we were released from the hospital and happy to head home! This is Linus’ first car ride. Daddy was so scared driving home that night.
That evening, you met the rest of the Maks.
First 伯伯 held you.
Then 伯娘.
Then with everyone！
You know how many people adore you Linus? Look at Alton 哥哥 give you a kiss!
38 weeks – He’s Here!
Introducing Linus Mak! Our little bundle of joy joined us on June 20, 2012 at 11:39pm. Weighing in at a whopping 7lbs, 7.8oz and 20 inches long! Here is a picture of the big boy at birth. Look at all that hair!
Linus’ entrance was pretty dramatic since he didn’t cry right away like I had expected. Those moments where I saw his eyes opened, but not making noise were the longest moments of my life. When he started to cry though, boy did he CRY! We have to have a special thanks to Dr. Wu for helping me deliver a 7lb baby naturally.
This was my first chance to hold you. Already I know I’m in love with you.
And here is your first bath. You HATED it. Good chance to keep working out that cry of yours.
And our first family photo. Mommy and Daddy were so happy to finally meet you! Happy birthday Linus!
Daddy’s so proud of his big boy!
