Irish or Filipino?

Here are some tidbits of the happenings around the D. household.

What can I say?  She loves to wear all of her accessories at the same time.  Such a girl.
 Bug helping Mommy run errands after day care.  She sits with her legs up ALL THE TIME. (Not very girly, if you ask me.)  Oh, this was two seconds before I realized she pooped out of the size 2 diapers that day care was still putting on her.  When she moved to size 3 I forgot to bring those sizes to day care.  So in one week we had 3 poop-outs.  Parental FAIL.
 Most Fridays I don't cook.  I spend my entire week rushing to cook dinners and on Fridays I don't.  It's my break time and now that it's Lent, we can only have seafood.  "No Meat Fridays" have turned into "Baja Fresh Fish Taco Fridays". :) 
 McKayla has been craving some attention so while I was organizing things and putting away cards, etc., she plopped her big butt on the lid to the memory box.  Obviously no way to ignore her now.
 Ah...the jumper.  So this was a great solution to not being able to cook.  The only down side to this is that now that Bug has hit 7.5 months, she never wants to be in it alone.  She wants me there to play with her.  Otherwise, if she can't see me, she'll start to whine.  So sad.  I thought this would never end, but according to my baby-know-it-all developmental emails, she's begun to experience separation anxiety.  Awesome.  No wonder she's so attached to us.  And according to the developmental email, separation anxiety is why she's started to wake up once a night every few nights.  Time for some more overnights with Mama and Papa.  This girl needs space...whether or not she thinks it.

She like to multi-task.  Drinking and jumping all at once.  Good for her.  Way to be efficient- gain the calories and work them off all at the same time. :P
 Splish splash!  We moved her tub into our bathtub.  She was starting to make a real watery mess of the floors.  She's so cute.  (Don't even try taking that rubber ducky.  She'll scream.  So, from the time she gets in, until AFTER she's got her PJ's on, she's got that ducky in her hand or in her mouth.)
 On Saturday I met with my friend, Julia to do some DIY projects for my sister's upcoming baby shower and I received this text message from Daddy:  "Do you think this is too much?"
Much better without the pants.  By the way...Daddy also put on a new born headband.  I'm sure her head was hurting after this.
 Yeah, those thighs are for real.
 Guess who's wearing pigtails!??!!?  Yes, my 7 month old has this much hair.  She's probably the only 7 month old who needs detangler.  After every bath, I have to comb out the knots.  Seriously, she needs a real brush, not a comb.  I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I didn't pass on the beautiful fine hair gene.  I passed on the curly-tangled-course hair gene. :)  I'm sure she'll learn how to use a flat iron pretty early on in life. 

Is it just me, or is Bug's hair red?  With each passing day, her hair is a bit more red.
Seriously...is she Irish or Filipino?  Well, both actually.  Hmmm...
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...
