Happy Chinese New Year!

We had our annual New Year festivities at my parents house in Morgan Hill with all of our extended family on Sunday. It was very special this year since Izzy could wear her first New Year's outfit and also join in on the red envelope 'ceremony'. Grandma got her so many New Year's outfits that she literally has one to wear until she turns six or seven years old. Some of them belonged to me and Cindy when we were young. This one that she has on is brand new!

Here is Izzy and Auntie Cindy. They were acting like crazy monkeys all day long. When the two of them get together it's like being in a nut house.

One of her favorite activities at grandpa and grandma's house is taking everything out of the kitchen cabinets and then putting them all back. The kitchen is one of the most entertaining places for her.

Izzy is getting super good at stairs and steps. She can climb stairs pretty well both holding on and not holding to the railing. It's crazy how good she is at doing dangerous activities!

A Day With Auntie in the City

Auntie Cindy has been living in the city for over 6 months now and we haven't had the chance to go up and visit her. Everyone had been pretty sick the last few weeks and we decided that we were too cooped up and needed to get out of the house.

Isabel had a great time on the pier watching all the sea gulls. She would run around and point at the birds and say, "bird". The day was muggy and foggy at first with slight sprinkles but got warmer in the afternoon.

It seemed like everytime she was in the stroller, she was always munching on something. It's sometimes hard to get good photos because she's got crumbs all over her face.

More cookies!

Bounce-A-Rama!

My meet up group held another event today, this time at Bounce-A-Rama in Milpitas. We had never been there before and it was such a blast. Although Izzy was a little young, I went down the slides with her and she LOVED it. It was super exhausting for me to carry her up all the slides but it's really, really fun going down. I wish they had it for adults! You could only go up if you had a little one with you so I guess all in all, both Izzy and I had lots of fun.

I'm 16 weeks in now and I am beginning to feel "slightly" better. I went from throwing up three times a day to a few days every couple of days. I am actually eating more protein now even though it's in the form of fast food burgers. In three weeks we find out what we're having and we're so excited!

Happy New Year!

A few months ago when we first bought our Step 2 play gym, we had to take down the 2nd story and the slide because Izzy couldn't figure out how to get down and we were afraid she was going to hurt herself trying. In the last two weeks since her cousins were here, we've put the pieces back. Apparently, she is a VERY quick learner! She's a dare devil, always tempting fate by some how climbing on the edges or doing something that would shock us. Izzy finds it really funny.

Her favorite move. Stradding the side of the gym. The good thing is she knows how to get herself out of that position!

On December 30th, I went in for my first ultrasound appointment and finally saw the baby. It's so wierd but since I didn't have the 8 week ultrasound, it was so surprising to see everything on this little body already formed. Everything checked out great and in a few more weeks, 5-6 or so, we're going to be able to find out the sex. I can't wait!!!!
