6 month Bug

Happy 6 months to our baby Bug!  (Check out this pic! If looks could kill, right?)
::Sigh::  What can I say?  There are a few more developments these days.  All the milestones seem to be coming so quickly and I can't seem to remember them all, but I'm going to try just for this one blog... :P

First,  Bug has become quite fascinated with her feet.  The plus side is that it keeps her preoccupied.  The down side is that she spends a lot of time bending down trying to reach them, therefore making practicing sitting upright pretty difficult (not gonna to lie to you).

Second, crying in the middle of the night has become fairly routine.  She is the loudest sleeper in the history of sleepers!  She wails mid-sleep and since it's begun, there seems to be no end in sight.  To make it worse, remember that cute little Bug that used to wake up so happy?  Well, she no longer exists.  Bug is now the grouchiest of the grouchiest of morning people (second to Dad, of course!).  She now yells when she is trying to wake herself up and it lasts a pretty long time and with her voice getting louder every day, this can't be good for our poor neighbors.  However, as soon as she opens her eyes, everything is better.  Just like that! It looks like the only morning people in our household are Mommy and McKayla.  Sad times.

Third, we are starting solids for real this time.  Attempt #1 failed for many reasons- 1.  Dad was not focused because he lost his camera.  (I'll save that story for another blog post.)  and 2.  I couldn't tell if Bug was sick or reacting to the 1 tablespoon of rice cereal I had given her so I opted to postpone solids completely until I spoke with the doctor...today.  After speaking with Dr. Nish, I feel fully prepared to start this new transition into solids.  Solids, here we come!  (Wish us luck!  Although, with this hungry monster on our hands, I'm pretty sure this will be one of the easier transitions we'll have to make.)

Today, Bug had her 6th month appointment with Dr. Nish.  That's right- the bagillionth (that's right, I said it) round of vaccines.  She was such a trooper!  (Mommy on the other hand, not so much.  Thank goodness for Dad being there to help us all!)  Here are her 6th month stats:

Height:  26 inches
Weight:  15 lbs. 9 ounces- I swear it feels (and looks!) like more.

Here are some pics!  Seriously, this has got to be more than 15 lbs. 9 ounces, right?
 Waiting for Dr. Nish to come in for the shots.  So happy.  Oh, how things change so quickly.
Just for fun pics...
 After doing some major socializing at my friend, Nicole's baby shower, Bug went to Ninang Angela and Ninong Louie's house for some major nap time.
So happy that this girl is all healthy and happy!  Okay, so who's up for some more 6 month photos?  There were SO MANY to choose from, I just did not feel like it was right to keep them from all of you!

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...
