A Beautiful Day in Redwood Shores

Nathan is so happy to be out for a walk with Mama, Papa and CoCo. Since my joint pain started a few weeks ago, I haven't been able to take Nathan and CoCo out much. It's definitely nice to catch some fresh air!Believe it or not, he actually enjoys it when we bite him :-) (gently) The bad thing is when he gets us back, he bites us hard! Don't think that's a good idea to play that game anymore.

CoCo didn't want to join us for a picture.

Nathan is full of expressions these days!

Happy Memorial Day

This is one of my favorite pictures of Nathan and me. Thanks Uncle Brian
Check out my cute sock, it's match my shirt!
The two cousins love hanging out together. Can you see Nathan's 2 upper teeth? They are HUGE! They both cut through a week ago (5/18 & 5/21).

Yeah, I can crawl

Nathan surprised me and started crawling today despite of his cold (2nd one). I was expecting to see the "rock" movement first before crawling. I guess he was just anxious to move around.

He is definitely proud of his accomplishment!

My 2 upper teeth are about to erupt

My hives are gone

Thank God his hives finally got all cleared up. I was really worry for a few days. Fortunately, Nathan was in very good spirit the whole time and didn't fuss much. Glad that it was all over.

My 8-Month Birthday

Nathan turned 8 months today. I didn't take a picture today because he broke out in hives, very serious hives...all over his body. We suspect it was food allergy, but we were not 100% sure since it started a day after I introduced him the new food (broccoli). It was so bad that it took 4 days to calm down even with medication. The doctor said that it could be a virus or a combination of things. His face was so swollen on the 3rd day that I wanted to cry when I picked him up from his crib in the morning. It was definitely a scary experience for us.
Now, I am very paranoid when introducing new food to him. I hope this was just an isolated incident.

Happy 1st Mother's Day

It was a very special day today. Besides celebrating my 1st Mother's Day, I took Nathan to Church with me (just the two of us). He was such a good boy during the entire mass. He didn't sleep or fuss. He actually wanted me to turn his stroller facing the altar, like he knew what the priest was saying. He also enjoyed the choir very much. I was amazed that he was so patient for one full hour. We went for a walk after Church.

My teeth are really showing

Get Me Out!

Nathan has been trying to get out of his crib these days. He figured out how to pull down the bumper and look for me when he wakes up. He still cannot pull himself up yet, but I think the day may come soon. We probably have to lower his crib in the next few weeks.

Nice Warm Day in Crystal Spring

It was a goreous day in the Bay Area. We took Nathan for a walk in Crystal Spring.

Bad Hair Day

Nathan's hair is getting long and growing up :-) It looks pretty funky, but I love it. This picture also captures his really cute smile. It's one of my recent favorites.

Haley's 1st Birthday Party

My old colleague Theresa invited us to her daughter, Haley's 1st birthday party in the park.

Trip to San Francisco Zoo

We joined Uncle Brian, Aunt Linda and Jonathan for a trip to the SF Zoo. I think Nathan is still a little too young to enjoy all the animals, but the giraffes, zebras and flamingos did get his attention.

Looking like a Big Boy

Future Beethoven

This Music Table is one of Nathan's favorite toy lately. I just love watching his little fingers move around all the different activities. Thanks to Auntie Shirley for this wonderful gift.
