Lately

You must wonder what we do for fun after day care...or maybe you don't think about it.  Either way, here are all the super cool fun things we've been doing lately.

I really do feel for the toys that are suffocated by Bug's unending love for them.
 Sometimes a good sit-up is in order.  Obviously working out is not her thing.  (Just like Mommy!)  Believe it or not, under all that chub are some pretty strong abs.
Jewelry- a girl's best friend.
 Now that Daddy's home a bit earlier, we have a ton of time to go to the pool.  Here's Bug, with yet another random neighbor of ours.  Bug is pretty popular around the apartment complex.  People LOVE her.  I mean, can you really blame them?
Did I mention it's been pretty humid?  This "June gloom" really has to go away.  It's killing me.
I recently had jury duty.  As you all know- BIG SNORE FEST.  The courthouse pictured below is the wrong courthouse.  I waited in line for half an hour at the wrong door.  Little did I know that the courthouse I had to report to was the criminal courthouse...5 blocks away.  This Lifetime loving, emotional mother should be the last person on any criminal case.  Although I was not chosen for a panel, let alone a jury trial, if I had been, I would have made a Lifetime movie out of it once it was over.  (The city told me I could.)
Since I was not chosen for any panel, I waited it out ALL DAY.  I even got to take a few naps!  Thank goodness for great books!

Sometimes we're just too pooped out to play, McKayla!  Bug's getting pretty good at letting us know she's done for the day.  She's getting better at accepting that she can be tired sometimes and that a good nap is in order.
It's a tough life, being a baby and being forced to play all day.  I get it.  You know what's tougher?  Being a parent who cannot keep up with a mobile baby.  That's tough!  Sometimes I feel like Bug looks in this photo.  However, if I lay prostrate on the floor, no one rubs my back and puts me to bed.  Ha!

Updates:  
1- A few months back we introduced Bug to yogurt and she had an allergic reaction. The doctor asked us to reintroduce it this month to see if she really is allergic or if her tummy was just not ready the first time.  So, we did.  I gave her three spoonfuls with her fruit.  A day later, allergic reaction.  It's official.  No yogurt.  The doctor said we should wait until she's 2 years old to give it to her.  Poor Bug.

2- Bug has been in a BAD mood the last couple of days.  She's even begun to scream in the middle of the night.  Yesterday, I noticed that her two top teeth are attempting to break through the gum.  I say attempting because what seems like happens overnight for most babies, happens in a few weeks for Bug.  It takes her teeth so long to break through.  Her symptoms of teething begin a couple weeks to a month before the tooth even breaks through.  Meanwhile, all her little friends (3months-6 months) all have at least 2-4 teeth.  It's cool.  Bug's a late bloomer.  Just another example of her doing things at her own time, but when she does it, she does it well. So hopefully we'll be seeing some teeth soon because this girl already loves to chomp away at big girl foods.  :)

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...
