Wow, has it been 4 months since my last post?! What have I been doing besides caring for the lil monster Avery who, by the way is turning the big ONE next week! Yikes! I think it's time I start blogging about my waste of space life again. But first, in the spirit of Halloween, I'd like to share this pumpkin dance: So creepy. But yet I watched the whole video. Maybe there should be a gangnam

The hubs and I took Avery to Happy Hollow again. Sadly, she still didn't seem interested in the animals. She did enjoy the carousel ride though. hello. nice to meet you. "Look, it's Mommy" says Avery.. weeeeeeee....

I came home from a tea date with Avery's godma today look what I found at my door: These are the best chocolates from Napa Valley. There was no note, but I had an idea who sent this to me for my birthday. It wasn't the hubs - for sure. I love this person to death, but she is trying to sabotage me. Tonight, I ate 4. Tomorrow I will eat 5.

Avery has been sleeping in our room in her cousin's co-sleeper since she was born. When she turned 3 months, I said I would move her over to her own room and her own crib. But then 4 months passed, 5 months, then 6 months. I just wasn't able to let her go and wanted her next to me. After her bath Wednesday night (when she turned 7 months exactly) she fell asleep in her crib. I decided to leave

An old highschool friend of mine was in town for her brother's graduation from UC Berkeley so I met up with her for lunch around that area today. I haven't been near the campus in awhile and was pleasantly surprised to see how many new shops and restaurants have opened up since ..... I can't remember when.  After our mediterranean lunch, we hopped over to Ici ice cream shop for some dessert

Since I didn't get anything for mother's day (LAME), I told the hubs that I'm going to buy something for myself. I'm thinking of a monogramed necklace with the letters A and S for Avery and Shady. These are so cute: http://dallanonnajewelry.com/thelittleletternecklace Whaddaya think? The only problem is, A could stand for my husband as well. humph.

To my mommy, to me and to my fellow mommy friends and family. Mommies are the best! I think Avery and Shady agree.

We went to Stockton to celebrate my niece Serena's 8th birthday today.  I had just told my cousins that Avery hadn't pooped for two days and then when Serena's mom lifted her out of the infant seat, this happened: My poor cousin got poop smeared all over her hand. hahaha Talk about blowout. Avery thought it was funny. Us not so much. My nephew (and Shady) in the background said "wow,

My godson's mama and I took Jaxsie and Avery to Happy Hollow Park and Zoo this afternoon. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, we only had 30 minutes to roam the park. haha We didn't know they closed earlier on weekdays. Oops! Nonetheless, we managed to ride the carousel twice and see a few goats and mini horses. It was really hot anyway so we probably wouldn't have stayed for too long. We'll

The baby shat big time last night on our bedsheets. So we had to go sheetless. Shieeeeeeeeet, as Senator Clay Davis always said in The Wire. If you guys haven't seen that show, I highly recommend it. early a.m. nap

I had a wonderful time hanging out with my god daughter and her mama today. We met at Santana Row for tea then visited our usual shops in the usual order - Anthropologie, Lululemon, and Papersource. We then headed to Mitsuwa for some mochi and ramen at the Japanese grocery store Mitsuwa and saw this sign in the produce section: Interesting.....

The hubs is in Chicago all week for a business trip and I am left all by myself...with the babies. I better get a damn good mother's day gift. Guilty as ever:

Ever since Avery was born, my parents finally agree that having a computer (and access to the internet!) is a necessity. They make use of the webcam and skype/msn practically everyday to see their precious granddaughter. It is so funny to watch them on the other side trying to figure out how to maximize the chatting screen window or how to scan photos and such. My mom even enjoys using the

It's the hubby's 34th birthday today. The four of us had a low key celebration dinner at Cheesecake Factory.  Man, we're getting old. No more elaborate surprise birthday parties anymore! Sorry hubs - maybe next year. Happy Birthday!

Our doggie Snoop back home in Taipei passed away last night. Mourning the death of a pet is definitely harder than I thought. You will be missed, Snoop! We love you always and we'll never forget the 15 memorable years you gave us. Shady and Snoop on her 6th birthday...

It was so damn hot today. We went on our weekly farmer's market stroll in the am followed by a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond to purchase some fans. Avery went for a swim (more like float) in her tub today. Ugh..summer is right around the corner which means ...less clothing...more skin......diet time. sigh.... Still trying to lose all the weight I gained from lil miss Avery. Time to join weight
