Jan 23 - Jan 29
Sun, Jan 23
Went to visit Vu guys up in Fremont. Tyler always enjoys going there. He gets along rather well with Andrew and more or less with Ethan. We got there in time for a Pizza lunch and stayed until a Thai dinner. Emily was a champ. She didn't fuss much as long as she was kept well fed. She lets other people hold her for short periods of time. A lot of times, she actually just likes to lay down while you interact with her.
Mon, Jan 24
*time passes*
Tues, Jan 25
There is a site where you can get tidbit facts about your birthday. We ordered on for Tyler and have it hanging in his room, so today I decided to order one for Emily. Sadly, she still doesn't have a room room yet. Mommy still takes up 30% of the space with a desk, computer stuff, and scrapbooking stuff. One of these days, lol.
Wed, Jan 26
Stopped by the hospital today to finally drop off the newborn clothes at the NICU. Swung by Ante and saw Michelle and Wendy. :)
Daily outing was Kohl's today with lunch at Inn n Out. Then it was off to dinner at the Yee's for what I believe they called Bun Rieu. It was a noodle soup that was pretty tastey.
Thurs, Jan 27
Emily screamed all the way to Tyler's school this morning. Mommy took her out and carried her to drop Tyler off and calm her down. Then she screamed the entire way back home.
This lead to a not so great day. Lots of fussing and didn't want to nap. Mommy spent a lot of time soothing and carrying her.
Fri, Jan 28
Daily outing was Ross today. Mommy found a few tops for work and a transformer for Tyler. Surprisingly, nothing for Emily. She did much better today, thank goodness.
Dinner was Popeyes with musubi's@ Murakami's. Tyler loves going there. Uncle Shaun plays with him... hahahaha.
Sat, Jan 29
Ran errands today. Hit up Morgan Hill Target and got new work shoes at DSW. We tried this random Hawaiian food place which wasn't too bad. The food was good, but compared to L&L the portions were small and over priced.
Murakami's came over for Emporer Norton's pizza and pasta. Camden wasn't having a good night, so the basically came to eat and then quickly left. Tyler waited all day for them to come, so when the left early he cried. Poor guy! He did cheer up after watching Madagascar.

Jan 18 - Jan 22
Tues, Jan 18
Slowly attempting to get Emily back on a schedule. She can more or less last a minimum of 3 hours between feedings during the day now. After eating she typically stays up for an hour or 2. Mommy entertains her as much as she can ... reading books, playing peek a boo, playing with all her animals that sing and make noises, riding in her swing, sitting in her chair, tummy time, the play gym, etc ...
After that she'll be tired and ready for a short nap. Putting her down for it varies, sometimes she's ready and will soothe herself to sleep while other times mommy holds her for a bit to get drowsy and then puts her down.
She'll sleep for a bit and wake up hungry and it starts all over again. When mommy needs to do things, after Emily's feeding we go out. It's a crap shoot whether or not Emily will enjoy it. Mommy has come to realize that she does NOT like being in the car seat regardless of if she is driving or pushing the stroller. So the best bet is if she is sound asleep.
Today mommy spent a lot of time on the computer catching up with picture and video uploads. Damn youtube has been sucking it up. Kept getting this generic error.
Also got more games on the iPad for Tyler, hehe. Keeps him busy and a lot of the are even educational.
Tyler had swimming and is doing much much better. Kalua Pig and cabbage for dinner.
Wed, Jan 19
OMG, Emily went 8 hours between her feeding last night. This = a good nights rest for mommy! (with the exception of one pumping session)
Daddy took a PTO day today to help mommy get the Mazda in for fixing. Back rear bumper is going to be replaced from when the lady hit us in the Target parking lot.
While daddy was home, mommy got him to come with her to tour 2 daycare centers. And guess what? We found one we liked! Hip Hip Hooray! Mommy had toured last week also and we still had ones from back in Tyler's day in mind. So out of 6 ... finding one is pretty darn good. We're gonna fill out the paper work and submit it ASAP to hold her spot for March 1.
Had Erik's sandwich for lunch before daddy's secret meeting. :)
Thurs, Jan 20
Emily has been Coo coo and more cooing. It is so cute! And not as random anymore. Now she responds to when I talk to her as if we are having a conversation. Same with smiling. She generally will smile back if she is in a good mood.
Mommy took her shopping at Babies R US and Target today. She was a good sport and didn't fuss!
Fri, Jan 21
Hit up Kohl's this morning and took a well needed nap today.
Had dinner at Pho My with the Murakami's.
Sat, Jan 22
Today the maid came in the morning. We did our normal thing where we hang out downstairs when they are up stairs and up stairs when they are down stairs, lol. Red Lobster for lunch, Thai Orchid at the Murakami's for dinner. Noticed that Em getting GOOD at thumb sucking and can now soothed herself to sleep by doing so. We've been trying to lay her in the crib awake to test this. And it works maybe 25% of the time so far.

Jan 17 - Emily is 3 months old
Happy 3 month old Emily!
Today Tyler was off from school and daddy was not off from work, so mommy had both kids. We ended up meeting Aunty Vicky and Haylie at the Silver Creek Bouncy House. Aunty and mommy took turns bouncing and watching Emily. The kids had lots of fun.
Then it was McDonalds for them and cheese steaks for us. YUMMY! They played for a while at our house before it was time for a very late nap.
Emily was a good sport. I think she enjoys being out and seeing new things. She stays up for much longer stretches now and likes being carried facing outwards so she can see. Everyone comments on her chubby cheeks, lol.

Jan 9 - Jan 16
Sun, Jan 9
Went to valley fair. Emily was a very good girl that "day". She slept for most of the time while we were out. Mommy finally got to do the last of the Christmas gift exchanges. Emily got a lot of 0-3 month clothing, but has already started out growing them ... so mommy had to go to several places to get bigger sizes. She is definitely much bigger then Tyler was at that age.
Speaking of Tyler, he totally amazed us several times today. First, he tried the mandarin chicken at Panda Express and liked it. Then he ate a peanut butter sandwich, something he hasn't done since he was 2. And finally he tried mac and cheese and said it was YUMMY!
After nap, mommy and Tyler went to Michael's and Lucky. Mommy was very sad that she missed an awesome sale on Cricut Cartridges. The sale was still on, but all the good stuff was gone. *sigh*
Emily had a rough night. I'd hate to think she still has her nights and days mixed up, but she's been having a hard time going to bed at a reasonable time. We don't quite have a schedule for her as her colic/gas makes her feeding to be on demand ... but man 12am she was still up. Poor mommy feeding her while daddy and Tyler snored away.
Mon, Jan 10
Daddy went into work early today.
Steak for dinner
Tues, Jan 11
Daddy worked from home today. :)
Emily absolutely hates tummy time. Only after a few minutes she gets super frustrated and starts rubbing her face on the blanket or hand. Then the crying starts and she sounds really unhappy. C'mon Emily you can do it!
Wed, Jan 12
Started researching daycares/schools online today. Sadly there are not an ample amount of choices in the area/price range that mommy is looking for that accepts infants. A lot of places are more geared for preschool and will start at the age of 2. For a moment we considered a nanny coming to the house, but with Hoku it is more of a hassle to find someone who likes dogs and is comfortable enough to have her around while watching Emily.
Emily will have to go starting in March since that's when mommy has to return to work. :( Something mommy is definitely NOT looking forward too.
Thurs, Jan 13
Toured Creative Habitat today. It's a much smaller facility then the one Tyler attended as an infant. I think it can only have like 50 students where as the other one can have like 300. So definitely a BIG difference. The philosophies and practices are good, but the rooms and playground are super tiny. It didn't look like enough space for the kids. I suppose could work if we needed it to. But mommy plans to check out a few more places next week.
Fri, Jan 14
We went to Mexico Lindo for dinner and Tyler still loves the Mariachi Band. On a random note, Emily loves to make bubbles and has started to coo a lot when talked too.
Sat, Jan 15
We all had dentist appointments this morning. Tyler was rather excited and did VERY well. He sat in the chair all by himself and let them take x-rays and fully clean his teeth. What a big boy he is becoming. Emily slept in the beginning and mommy held her towards the end. Only mommy has to go back to get a filling redone. Boo to that!
After Tyler's favorite meal at McDonalds it was nap time. Tyler still fights it every single day. I have no idea how he does so well at school. The teacher's say he lays down and sleeps well. *sigh*
Then it was a quick trip to Costco for some steaks and we had a mini BBQ at the Murakami's. Remember that BIG boy I was talking about? Well, Tyler tried steak for the very first time! He said it was yummy and even ate a 2nd piece, so we are making some progress with his food pickiness. This could be the start of a brand new world for him.

Jan 2 - Jan 8
Sun, Jan 2
I am going to guess we stayed home, but don't quote me on it. :)
Mon, Jan 3
Yay, Tyler didn't cry. Mommy thinks it was a miracle that Tyler did not cry today when she dropped him off at school today. Normally after a long break such as this one, he usually grumbles. I guess he's "grown" up in that sense. He was happy and gave his teacher's hugs ... it was cute.
Tried going to the mall today, but mommy learned that she was spoiled by the holiday schedule in December. Damn place doesn't open until 10:30 normally! WTH!
Sadly we only got through Target before Emily got antsy and hungry. Rather then feed her at the mall ... mommy opted to go home where we then stayed for the rest of the day.
Tues, Jan 4
Today instead of running her one errand in the morning after Tyler's drop off. Mommy instead planned to go to the mall after lunch. It was a bit more crowded then she was expecting, but nothing to complain about after the holiday season.
We went to Macy's, the Disney Store, and Old Navy and only ended up with underpants for Tyler. Marvel super heroes ... he should be excited. :)
Wed, Jan 5
This morning we went to Kohl's and exchanged some towels for the 4 Eric Carle books. These were Tyler's absolute favorite about a year a go. We already had the Hungry Caterpillar (but in a board book), so mommy bought it anyway since this was the BIG hard cover one. That along with The Grouchy Lady Buy, The Mixed Up Chameleon, and something else she can't remember at the moment.
Back at home Emily got fed and mommy ate and then it was off to Wal Mart.
Dinner with Yee's at Pho My.
Clothes from Ms Connie
Thurs, Jan 6
Target, laundry
Friday, Jan 7
More laundry
Hung out with Murakami's for a bit during the afternoon
BBQ dinner at Murakami's
Sat, Jan 8
Tyler and daddy went for a hair cut while mommy stayed home while the house was cleaned.
Tyler and mommy went to Wal Mart to do some gift card shopping. Well it was actually merchandise credit, but there really isn't a differences I suppose. Tyler got a few Toy Story toys that he said he didn't want so we returned them for credit and he's been choosing something new on the rare occasion we actually go to Wal Mart. (mommy is a Target person, hehe) The first time he chose a talking Optimius Prime and this time he chose a k'nex race car (which is like legos)
For dinner we had Pizza at the Murakami's. Tyler conned Uncle Shaun into putting together his car. Mental note, k'nex is not as good as lego's.
