Feb 20 - Feb 26
Sun, Feb 20
I want to say that mommy's weekends are so fun and exciting that she doesn't have time to write about it. Frankly it's probably the opposite. It must be so boring and dull that she can't for the life of her remember what we did.
Mon, Feb 21
Boo to Holidays! Why are schools closed, lol. Mommy had both kiddos today. Hit up the mall but only a few stores in order to leave before the lunch crowd.
Lunch was Tyler's choice, so we went to his favorite dining establishment, Mc Donalds. The fries are still mommy's favorite.
Later that night we called Aunty Tammy to wish her a Happy Birthday!
Tues, Feb 22
Emily's 4 month old check up.
14 lbs and 6 oz which is 50% for weight. 20% for height and 80% for head, can't remember exact numbers. Poor girl got 4 vaccinations, 3 shots and one oral. Appointment took an hour long! For the rest of the day Em was very calm and sleepy.
Wed, Feb 23
Ugh, tomorrow mommy is going to get another year older. Boohoo! As far as she knows they have no big plans. Aunty Vicky offered to watch the kiddos, but with Emily and her stranger anxiety and Tyler well as Tyler ... it is a lot to ask. For now we took a rain check. Maybe later on we'll get a night out for a dinner, just mommy and daddy. It has been WAY too long since we did that.
Thurs, Feb 24
Happy Birthday mommy! Tyler made a birthday card for mommy at school. And then at home baked some yummy cupcakes and covered them with lots of frosting and sprinkles. Double yum! Then it was mommy's surprise gift ... a new laptop. Mac Book Air to be exact. :)
Fri, Feb 25
Thai Orchid for dinner. It was fricken freezing there. Tyler is still very much a carbs boy. All he would eat was sticky rice and Pad See Eew noodles.
Sat, Feb 26
Mommy and Emily went to run errands in the morning. Hit up BRU, Office Max, and Office Depot. Need to get the last of the things needed for Emily to start daycare on March 1st. How exciting and scary!
Daddy took Tyler to a birthday party at the "Jungle", a fun place for kids with bouncy house, games, ball pits, rides and tunnels galore. Sucking kid still won't eat pizza, so he had to wait till afterward to eat ... I hope this changes soon.

Feb 13 - Feb 19
Sun, Feb 13
Tyler still under the weather. Threw up in his bed last night. Poor guy, they still don't recommend cough medicine at his age.
Didn't do much. Went to Costco and did tons of laundry.
Mon, Feb 14
Ran a few quick errands in the morning ... bank, post office. Then it was back to Tyler's school for his Valentine's day party. The kids had decorated brown paper bags and each took turns inserting cards for their classmates. Tyler was very excited to get his. He made mommy read each one and tell him who it was from.
Back at home, mommy made a shutterfly book of Emily. Tyler has one for about every 3 months or so of his first year and mommy hopes to do the same for Emily. :)
Tues, Feb 15
So so sad. My manager is leaving eBay! So when I go back to work I'll have a new one or knowing them, I won't have one because they take FOREVER to hire.
Anyhoo, I made the trek up to Cupertino for her going away lunch at Hong Fu. Can you say cry baby Emily? She cried for everyone who held her -- expected. And then after she kind of settled down she would cry when people just came to look at her. Now what is up with that? LOL. Mommy had to go outside for like 15-20 minutes and finally she went to sleep. But knowing that she still HATES her car seat, mommy managed to hold her sleeping while she ate her semi cold food.
While we were there, we also met up with Wendy to exchange kid goods. Boy stuff for girl stuff. :)
Wed, Feb 16
Mommy's been going to Kohl's quite often these days. It's one of the only other stores besides target that opens at 8am. Their clearance section has good deals if you can find sizes. Got Emily a few long sleeve shirts for 2.00 and under. Emily slept the entire time there. However, back at home had a major crying spell in the afternoon.
Thurs, Feb 17
Today is Amb's (my manager's) official last day at eBay. After dropping off Tyler, we went to Kohl's (a different location) to kill time before going to the eBay office to say good bye. Emily was happy when we got there, but quickly changed her mood once everyone started oogling at her. She doesn't like too many new faces at once and it was overwhelming. She cried of course when people tried to hold her, and still cried when some just looked at her.
She did let Punam hold her for a bit, while mommy stuffed her face with pizza as fast as she could.
On a side note, mommy's work moved her into a new building. This was the first time she got to see her new digs. 3rd floor, so kinda a bummer. Either take the stairs or have to wait for a slow elevator. Her new cube rocks! Window view! :) Not sure how she managed that when she wasn't even there to choose it.

Feb 6 - Feb 12
Sun, Feb 6
Super bowl Sunday! Went to a friend's of Shaun's for Superbowl. They had an awesome kid friendly back yard and Tyler had a blast. Mommy didn't get to watch much of the game and only saw a few commercials ... Emily kept her on her toes.
Mon, Feb 7 - Wed, Feb 9
Thurs, Feb 10
This by far had to have been the most awful crying day for mommy and Emily. Bad enough where mommy even cried with Emily for a bit. LOL! It oddly made her feel better. Despite this, mommy still went to get Tyler from school early so he could get a hair cut. Picture taking this weekend.
Fri, Feb 11
It was another Kohl's morning for mommy and Emily. The rest of the day
we stayed at home in our routine. Singing songs, reading books, eating, napping, watching the mobile, sitting in the vibrating chair, etc ...
Dinner was @ Sonoma Chicken Coop Campbell. It was way crowded. It was mommy and the kiddos for most of the night because daddy had to work late. Go figure, on a Friday! Emily was a good girl though ... mommy got to eat her food while it was still warm. :)
Sat, Feb 12
Our morning at the Picture People could have been worse, lol. Emily although up, refused to smile, didn't let Tyler hold her, and go cranky at the end of the session. Tyler actually smiled nicely and not so much his cheesey fake smile. All was well until Tyler drank his milk too fast and then BARF. In daddy's hand and into the trash can. :(
It was a quick lunch kids down for a nap and then mommy was off to her first pampering in months ... an overdue hair cut and high light! WOOHOO!
To follow a lazy night at home with a Slice of new york pizza at our place with the Murakami's and Yee's.

Say Cheese!
Mommy's been shamefully spending her free time playing games on Facebook, lol. She was finally able to pull herself away to upload and organize some pictures of Emily. Boy how she has changed since birth.
Feel free to take a look. She tried to put them where they should have gone, so you'll have to check back in older posts. But don't you worry, she labeled them with "pictures" in the title. With the exception of the Xmas pictures which are in the Xmas entry.

Jan 30 - Feb 5
Sun, Jan 30
Emily Woke up like a screaming banshee for on apparent reason this morning. She cried and whaled for a good 15 - 20 minutes. We did everything to soothe her but nothing worked. We have no idea what was wrong. After settling down, she went back to sleep. Very weird.
After such a rough morning we were a bit afraid to go out today. However we did opt for Dim Sum in Milpitas with the Murakami's. Emily didn't cry, but did make daddy hold her the entire time.
Afternoon naps where then in order ... and Uncle Shaun came over to watch the Pro Bowl later that evening. Yummy oily and greasy cheese steaks for dinner.
Mon, Jan 31
At this rate mommy should just give up writing the blog, hehe. She's attempting a daily one while out on maternity leave, but soon will do weekly once she has to go back to work (March 14).
Tues, Feb 1
Ah, the best month of the year is upon us. It has the least number of days, Valentine's day and mommy's birthday! :)
Wed, Feb 2
The day comes and goes without mommy coming here.
Thurs, Feb 3
Happy Chinese New Year! Mommy was going to attempt to make won ton soup today. Even bought the won ton wrappers at Mitsuwa, but got lazy....
Fri, Feb 4
Holy moly, can you say crabby patty? It was awful. The crying, the eating, the sleeping ... you name it. Could not figure out what was wrong.
Sat, Feb 5
Lately Emily has been having more crying spells then before. Oddly the colic is suppose to get better as she gets older. Mommy thinks it's getting worse. BOO!

March 27 - April 2
Yippee Skippy! We finally had some nice warm weather this week. Warm enough to send both the kids to school in shorts!
Baby Emily is becoming a big girl. Ms Azra said she started rolling over from back to front this week. And once she does, she realizes she's on her tummy and gets upset. Poor little girl still hates tummy time despite daycare practicing with her every day.
Because of the nice weather we were also able to go walking as a family unit including Hoku. Tyler had fun riding his bike "fast".
Friday dinner at Applebee's
Sat (April 2) was her first day eating solids. Well not solids solids, but very soupy rice cereal, lol.
Went up to Fremont and Visited Vu guys also.
