Apple

AJ seems to enjoy his first apple bite. Here’s some picture that I took to share what he could do now.

Greek festival

Today we went to Greek festival which we go there every year and this time with our little one who enjoyed the crowed of people and listening to the loud music. As always there were Greek band play tradition folk tunes as well as contemporary Greek music. There was demonstration Greek folk dance performed and there were free dancing under these tunes for anyone who likes to try. I enjoyed watching them. Greek festivals sell Greek artifacts that are imported from Greece, such as souvenirs, jewelry, pottery, little statues, posters, pictures, music, etc. But for hubby the best thing to do in the Greek Festival is to eat Greek food.

First Day In Eureka

Yesterday after work we drove up to Eureka. We left around 6:30 p.m. and arrived at 12:30 a.m. and now we are here. It was a long drive 6 hours. Today we watched the kinetic race with Joe’s friend up here then we went out for lunch afterwards. Here's some picture I took during the kinetic race.

AJ Got Scraped and Bruised

AJ was hurt today at the day care. A baby gate fell on him. He got scraped and bruised on his face. I felt so bad knowing my little one was on pain. I know all babies get hurts all the time no matter how safe and careful the day care and workers and this thing happens. As a preschool teacher I have witnesses a lot of little kids do get smashed and it mostly caused by another kid.
AJ’s teacher wrote an accident report explaining what happened. I know that she couldn’t prevent him from being hurt and I was confident that she cared enough to do anything she could do to prevent it. After work we went to see AJ’s doctor for check up if his ok. It was good to know that there’s nothing to worry. Im so proud of him because he still smiling as if there’s nothing bad happen to him. Here’s some picture taken in the hospital while waiting for his doctor.

Hot Weather

It’s not even summer yet but it’s definitely heating up here in California. Lots of people go to local beaches and mall hopping to cool off and Im one of them. AJ and I with some friends were hanging out at Valley Fair Mall for a couple of days now where Air Conditioner is free. I like the weather just right the kind of weather where you could go to beach. When it is cold, I say I like hot weather. If I have to choose I would probably choose cold weather so then I can cover up and stay inside. I know that on the summer you could do a lot of stuff like wearing short, flipflop, swim wear and go to beach. But there’s some thing that I don’t like about summer. The hot weathers make me feel fidget, high electricity costs, and to shine to sleep long. For AJ’s first experience with the hot weather he seems he enjoyed crawling around inside the house without clothes on two nights in the row.
I will post his pictures when I get a chance.

AJ

Play can be especial important and rewarding. When AJ started to show interests in sights and sounds I was so excited that I put a lot of coloring and squeaking toys in front of him on his car set and slowly swinging back and fort for his eyes to see. He focused and watched the toys and didn’t lose sight of the toys for a long time. He was physical active before he was 3 months old. He likes to kick his legs as if he was pedaling and before he knows it he could grab his own little feet. He loves to play toys with music or things that make noise such as rattles and plastic.

AJ seems to be happy observing other kids who crawl and walks. By observing other kid’s AJ could pull himself up now on his crib and on a table. And also he tried to stand up by himself without help or hold onto something. As a first time mom I was amazed watching him getting bigger and stronger. I considered him right on target on physical developments

How I Spent My Mother's Day

We know that a lot of restaurants will be crowded on Mother’s Day. Some people would call the restaurant and make a reservation and some would just show up. It was too late for us to make one. So, Joe and I make a plan to go to hometown buffet for brunch thought that it would be less crowded and the food would be ready when we are and that’s what we did. We went there for brunch. It was a little bit crowded and the line to get in was long. After the brunch we came home and relaxed for a while and then we went to a flea market. It was my idea to go there on mothers’ day because I have to buy an outfit for AJ’s baptismal this Sunday. We didn’t really look around because I was so tired. On the way home, I told Joe that it would be nice if I could take a nap when we get home. Joe just smiled at me. We got home and Joe took AJ out in the backyard and I was lying down on the coach and not even 10 minutes Joe called me to come out to join them. I came out and hang out, played with AJ and took pictures. And I finally went back in to take a nap and I did for 2 hours while the father and son still playing out in the backyard. I was so happy that Joe watched AJ and let me slept in. It wasn’t long enough but it was worth it.

Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it’s going to be my first. We don’t have plans yet, but it would be nice if hubby could watch AJ so that I could sleep in because he could hardly watch AJ and let me sleep in. I am not expecting a diamond from hubby as a gift but I would love to get an expensive purse heheeheh which is impossible. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what Joe will do or give. I just want him to show me appreciation for having AJ. It sucks to feel unappreciated

Hawaiin Party

Another successful party and well decorated. AJ and I had a good time at the party. The pictures will tell all.
