4 month Bug

 Happy 4 months to our baby Bug!

We have been out of control busy lately that I forgot to give a 4 month update on Bug.  Who really missed it, though?  I do send out LOTS of updates.  :)  

It's week three of Daddy being home with Bug and this Monday, she took her first nap for Dad.  Yup, he succeeded in putting Ella down for a nap.  This girl is so particular that not many people can do this.  Remember when Grandma came to stay with Bug while Daddy and I were at work? Well, it took Bug about a week to let Grandma put her down too.  The nap Daddy put her down for was short-lived, but he did it.  With Dad on leave, I've been getting lots of visits from Bug at work.  These make my week!  Not only do I get to come home early now because of my schedule change, but I also get a break during the day to see Bug.  It makes being back at work less of a heartache.  Here are some pics of Bug's visits to my office...
She holds conference calls...

...and sometimes uses the white board...

...visits with "Grandma Andrea"...

...and Auntie Ellen...

...and always manages to take a seat...

Dad is now gaining a much better appreciation for what it takes to take care of not just any baby, but Bug.  (Side note: When filling out the questionnaire for the day care she'll be attending in January, it asked "How would you describe your baby?"  We responded with, "Hypersensitive and particular".  What I wanted to write was, "Dramatic, but super sweet to Mommy."  :)  Needless to say, Dad's got his hands full for three more weeks!  

Bug has been talking up a storm!  Who would have guessed, knowing her inquisitive daddy and even more talkative mommy.  This girl really is our's and each month, I see more and more of Wyatt and myself in her.  Of course, the majority of the words we use to describe her (i.e. hypersensitive and particular) show that just because she doesn't look just like me, doesn't mean that she can't act EXACTLY like me. :)

We even spent some time with Ninang Angela and Ninong Louie... 

Laughs with Dad and Bug... 

I'm not very fond of how I look in this video, but Bug is so cute I had to post it.  Hey, give me a break.  I'm a new mom and I'm tired!  I'm still trying to perfect putting Bug first in my life AND trying to look decent.  (Obviously I failed this day.) :)

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
