Ouch!

Bug had her 4 month check-up today and boy was everyone surprised!  I think they're so used to Bug screaming all the time when we're there, that they were pleasantly surprised when we came in with a very alert Bug, all smiles and giggles.  I'm happy to update you with Bug's stats:

Weight:  13 lbs., 12oz.
Height:  24 1/4 inches

Dr. Nish looked straight at Bug and said, "You're not growing too much or too little.  You're JUST PERFECT." 

Well, Dr. Nish, I don't think I could have said it better myself.  Although, I am her mother and some people might say I'm being biased. :P

Bug also got her second round of five (YES, FIVE!) shots today.  With how vocal Bug has become, you can only imagine how loud it was in that examination room.  To avoid forcing you to listen to Bug's shrieks (and she waited til the second shot to start), I didn't take any video or photos of her during the process.  I did, however, take some after photos.  

Before I get to the after photos, here's a fun video of Bug, waiting for the doctor to come in to examine her.  AAAAAANNNNNDDDD...she's only got diapers on!  CUUUUUUTTTEEEE!
 

That was fun.  Now let's see the after photos...

Of course, semi-good behavior during the shot deserves a milky formula reward. :)  Drinking and whining all at once.  Is this girl a multi-tasker or what?!?!?!?!

Bug is growing at what seems like a rapid rate and we're trying to take it all in.  In the midst of work and everyday errands, and chores, sometimes I feel like we forget to soak in all the cuteness that is Bug.  I mean really...she's pretty darn cute...no matter how little she smiles. 

That's all for now.  We're headed to Yreka for Christmas next week and I'm sure there will be plenty of pics when we get back.  If I don't get a chance to blog until after the holidays, happy holidays!  We have so much to be thankful for every year...and for the hubs and myself, we feel extra blessed this year with giggles, drool, and smiles. 

God Bless,
Kat

    Her reaction to you is priceless. And then that last picture. She clearly isn't happy. Poor thing must've felt like she was tricked. Hahah.

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...
