2 year Bug

Happy 2nd birthday to our talkative, sensitive, creative, caring, bossy little Bug!

Did I mention she's a diva?  :) 

2 year stats:
25 lbs. 10 ounces (25-50th percentile)
33.5 inches (25-50th percentile
head: 44 centimeters (75th percentile)

The nurse said Bug experienced a slight growth spurt.  Wow.  This was a growth spurt?  Don't grow too much or anything.  Here she is, in all your 25-50th percentile glory!  Maybe if she would eat something other than yogurt, she would experience a real growth spurt.

Dear Buggy,

Happy 2nd birthday!  You are our greatest blessing and bring more joy to our lives than you will ever know. In 2 years you've managed to turn our world upside down with your never-ending energy and chatter.  Our house is a much more vibrant place to be when you're around.  Everything we have is so colorful!  I sometimes forget we own plates that can break, or even furniture that's not so miniature in size.  You have become Mommy's little helper in every way, but especially in the kitchen!  You love sweeping, putting our colorful dishes in the dishwasher, and putting groceries away.  This is amazing considering it took Mommy over 25 years to learn the same skills.  :P

 On your birthday, we took you to see Dr. Nish.  After 6 months of preparing you for this visit through books, medical kit toys, etc., we couldn't have been more proud of how little screaming you did in front of Dr. Nish.  You still managed to whine a bit when he was listening to your lungs and let out a short scream when he gave you your shots, but all in all you were amazing.  You really are a big girl!



After seeing Dr. Nish and receiving confirmation that you still are pretty little, we let you skip school because we are awesome parents like that (Remember this.) and we took you to see your first ever movie- Monsters University.  With the recent development of Good-Da, your imaginary friend, I can't imagine why we thought this would be an acceptable movie to take you to.  However, we lucked out and it was.  You sat through 30 minutes of previews and 1.5 hours of the movie. You were relatively quiet, but still interactive with the characters on screen, ate Cheerios, a banana, nachos, and you didn't scream your head off when the monsters were...well...scary.  The rest of the audience thanks you for that.  You are one awesome kid with focus like we've never seen.

 After the morning movie we had pizza in the park while listening to music and you took a long nap in the car and we headed home for a break.  Then we headed off to see your buddy C, and his new baby bro, C2.

Then we went out to dinner with Ninong, Ninang, and Lo.  It must have been a pretty great day because you sat through a Teppan-style meal with no problems!  You even ate miso soup, salad with ginger dressing, fried rice with veggies and chicken. Picky eater?  Not my baby kid!
We love you so much, Buggy! May God bless you always, continue to guide you, and provide you with love only He can give.

Love always,
Daddy and Mommy


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...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
