5 month Bug

Happy 5 months to our not-so-little Bug! (She sure is filling out, isn't she?)
 (Thank you, Aunt Becky for making such a gorgeous quilt!)

Bug is officially 5 months old today.  WAAAAH!  I'll say it again...she is growing up so quickly.  Dad is back to work, after an exhausting 6 week paternity leave and Bug and I stayed home...sick as...bugs.  Daddy has become a seasoned pro after staying home with Bug for so long and he's grown so much.  I am so thankful to have witnessed how far he's come and how his relationship with Bug has grown.  She now gives Daddy a whole lot of smiles and gets excited when he comes home from work.  Bug has also decided that she is now going back to napping during the day, which means that she no longer passes out at 6pm.  Now she has time to wait up for Dad to get home from work and to join us for dinner.  Yaaay! 

Despite the coughing, runny noses, and swollen eyes, we still had time for a family photoshoot for Bug's 5 month photos. 

ENJOY!







After ditching "school" on the first two days, Bug was finally able to go to day care.  When I pick her up, the teachers always say, "sweet baby!"  Who is "sweet" baby they speak of?  I'm looking for my child...the one who talks a lot?  Hahaha.  It's great to hear she's adjusted so well to day care (even though we're only on day three).  When I walk through the doors, Bug is ALWAYS in the front room, standing on the table (being held by a teacher, of course), and talking to all the toddlers who are walking around and seated in high chairs.  Where are all the other infants?  Well, they're asleep or in the infant room.  It would be my child who likes to hang with the older kids and wants to be the center of attention.  Totally my kid.

 

The two biggest blessings in my life.  I'm so thankful for how much they fill my heart with love and my life with purpose.

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...
