So we stayed a night at Antioch, Pastor Fendy's home because we will be celebrating New Year's Eve. Pastor Fendy cook a lot of food, rujak, fried noodle, and soy sauce pork.
We didn't do much as well. Mommy and papi has been eating and eating and eating, especially during the vacation!!! Papi hadn't weigh himself yet but his jeans are a little bit tight :)
Everybody is relaxing at Pastor Fendy's home. The grown-up are talking, while the kids are playing Nintendo Wii. Well, I couldn't do much other than watching, reading books, eating. Mommy brought my toys as well so that I can play at Pastor Fendy's home.
In the afternoon, while I'm taking my nap, mommy ate rujak while papi helped setup the basketball. It took about 2 hours for Uncle Hendra and papi to finish setting up. It was cold outside as well. The ring is not set too high so papi try to dunk the basketball. He forgot that the base is only filled with water and so he hold onto the the ring and the whole pole is about to fall. So papi fell and he hit his head on the air-conditioner unit. Thank God, no broken bones are head fracture!!! Just a minor bruise on papi's hips.
Later that night, everyone is celebrating for the New Year. I slept early but got up before midnight. I guess while everybody is having a count-down for the New Year, I was drinking milk :)
Happy New Year... now it's time for me to go to sleep as well :) Thank You Jesus for the new year ahead, may Your protection, blessing and love always be in our family. All the glory and honor belongs to You alone. In Your Name Jesus Christ. Amen.

Today, I am invited to Emily's birthday. This is my first birthday party that I was invited. The event starts at 11am, but because I wasn't ready, we arrived at their place around 12pm. It's also time for lunch. There are lots of people already there and I'm not the youngest one :) There is Josephine and she is just sleeping. It was not long as well that people are going to eat lunch. So Pastor Fendy prayed for Emily and also for the lunch.
Papi ate first while mommy fed me. My lunch today is spinach. It's really green, but I like it. Mommy made it fresh for me and put them in the freezer. And since microwave is not really good, mommy steam my food. There was a study about microwave water and boiled water that was given to the plant. The difference is that, the plant with boiled water is healthy, while the plan with microwave water soon withered away, lacking nutrients. For some reason, the microwave is changing at the molecule level. That's why mommy didn't microwave my food or even what we eat. Of course there are times that mommy and papi use microwave, but not too often.
After I finished and papi also finished his meal too. So papi took care of me while mommy eat her lunch. It was almost time for me to take my nap as well. Papi took some pictures of Emily's birthday and I wasn't in the picture yet, since I can't even stand on my own :) But I do like to stand up and papi and mommy have to hold me though so that I'm balance.
When it was time to sleep, mommy asked for a room from Aunt Felly. So I slept at Emily's room. I didn't want to go to sleep and I was crying and crying. Mommy then tried to give me milk. I became a little bit calm, but soon, I cried again. So papi decided to go home. Then and only then, I slept on the way home. I'm probably not used to sleeping in other people room.

We're going to San Francisco today and we'll be using Caltrain. This will be my first caltrain ride. We went to Santa Clara Caltrain station, that's where papi usually take the train to work. It's free for me and papi have a monthly pass, so he just need to get an upgrade while mommy have to buy a day-pass from Zone 4 to Zone 1.
From Santa Clara to San Francisco, it will take about 1hr 15mins. I drank my milk inside the caltrain and also mommy quickly changed my diaper before we get off from San Francisco Caltrain station.
Arrived at 11:15am and we walked to downtown San Francisco. It takes about 30 minutes walking.
First destination is King of Thai because mommy and papi are going to have lunch there. Their favorite is Duck Fried Rice. Mommy is also meeting up Aunt Irene after lunch. She's taking the BART since it's close to her home.
We went to Jessica McClintock first and while mommy and Aunt Irene is looking around, papi gave me cereal. After that, we walked to Union Square and took some photos with the big christmas tree. Aunt Irene help to take photo. Then, mommy wanted to go to BCBG to look at the sale there. She end up buying a dress :)
After that, we walk back to the Caltrain Station. While waiting for the train, papi took more pictures and soon, I was very sleepy. I ended up sleeping in the stroller :) The train will not leave until 4:30pm so it's still quite a while. When it's about time to leave, I was still sleeping. After all, it has been a long day. So mommy and papi picked up the stroller and didn't want to disturb my sleep.
It was dark by the time we arrived at Santa Clara Caltrain. Papi is thinking of another trip using the Caltrain and I can't wait for the next trip.

Merry Christmas everybody!!! This is my first christmas and I'm thankful for mommy and papi and especially God. I'm so blessed and loved :) I got to sleep with mommy and papi since Aunt Pinpin is staying in my room. Well, she didn't sleep in my crib, but my queen bed :) So early in the morning, after I finished my milk, I got to unwrap some gifts.

But Christmas is not just about getting gifts. It's about Jesus Christ. How God so loved the world that He gave His own begotten Son. A lot of times we forgot why we celebrate. People are so busy shopping to get gifts and presents. They go all out to buy the best-selling toys for their kids.
I think mommy and papi wants to teach me, Christmas is more than that. Though it's good to give, but it's not about the gifts. It's about showing God's love. I'm still a baby and do not understand yet. In the meantime, I'm just enjoying my first christmas with Uncle Sendy, Aunt Pinpin, mommy and papi.

Today is Christmas Eve. We will be going Koi Palace for dimsum first. It has been a while since mommy and papi went to eat at Koi Palace. The line is as busy as usual, if we don't come before they open.
Before we are seated, we went to look at a chef making Dragon Beard Candy.. hmm... what is that... we never had that before or even see it :) It's like fine thread candy and there is peanuts inside.
After one hour has passed, our number is called. Everyone is hungry even when papi already ate some Singaporean Rice Noodle from Litz that Uncle Sendy brought :) So we end up ordering Fookien Fried Rice first and wait for the dim sum to come. There wasn't a lot of cart passing by in our area as well. So we end ordering the dimsum from the waiter. Uncle Sendy also wanted to order the giant shiumay, but it ran out!! I tasted a little bit of the soft tofu and I kept asking for more from mommy :) It's definitely a new taste for me. I didn't try anything else because mommy and papi didn't want me to have too much salt in my system. So far, I've been eating baby cereal and mommy made fresh puree of broccoli, yam, sweet potato, carrot, pear, and apple.
After dimsum, we went to Napa Valley. On the way there, we had to use FasTrak. But since today is Monday and it's also during carpool, we didn't have to pay for the toll. We arrived at 4pm at Sattui Winery but they are closed!! Christmas eve is probably not a good time to go because some will have the store close and some don't. We decided to go to Dean and Deluca, just opposite of Sattui Winery. But they are closed as well... at 4pm!!! So we head back and decided to eat at Chinatown, Yuet-Lee Restaurant. Uncle Sendy confirmed with the restaurant that it's open today. Mommy and papi didn't go to SF Chinatown a lot :) Most of the time mommy and papi go to downtown SF, Union Square, Fisherman Wharf, and eat King of Thai. After dinner, it's time for dessert. Since we are close to Little Italy, we decided to eat crepes at Ticouz. However, this time we forgot to call and sure enough, it's not open!!!
After the long day, we all headed back home. It's sure is fun!!!

Today, we will be meeting Uncle Sendy at Monterey. Uncle Sendy is going to stay over our place. Mommy and papi is giving the house key to Uncle Sendy and meet at Moneterey. This is because mommy and papi has sunday service at 5pm and will be late going home. It will be brunch for mommy and papi. It takes about one hour from Santa Clara.
We arrived at 11:45am, just before lunch. Uncle Sendy is already there with Aunt Pinpin. They went to Hearst Castle the previous day and now spending time at Monterey and will head off to Carmel-By-The-Sea. We went to the Old Fisherman's Grotto for our lunch. Mommy and papi shared the lunch special, 1/2 lobster, shrimp, and scallop risoto, and for appetizer, a cup of clam chowder and fried artichokes. When papi wanted to pay for the bill, Uncle Sendy already paid the bill. So papi said that papi will pay for the bill at Koi Palace dimsum, and that's for tomorrow.
After lunch, we parted because mommy and papi need to go to church. Mommy will be ministering in singing while papi is ministering in LCD.
One last thing that makes me happy as well is that, since Uncle Sendy and Aunt Pinpin is staying over, this means that I will be sleeping with mommy and papi :)

Today, mommy is going to Fremont for music practice. The music practice starts at 9:30am, but I was not ready. I was still taking my nap. So mommy and papi waited until I wake up before going to Fremont.
We arrived 10am at Fremont, and it's not too far away from home. Mommy and papi thought about going to the IFGF Silicon Valley but there are probably reason why God wants mommy and papi to go IFGF San Francisco. The music practice wasn't long because there is an event after the practice. So everyone had to pack up early and practice outside.
After that, we went to New Hwong Kok with Uncle Hendra and Aunt Windy. We had dimsum first before going to Valley Fair Mall at San Jose. Initially, we plan to go to Santana Row but it's quite windy and Aunt Windy is also pregnant. So it's better to be indoor. Aunt Linda and Keshia came by afterwards and we met up at the Cafe and ate some dessert. I tasted a little bit of the tiramisu from mommy :)
We walked a little bit more and soon Uncle Hendra and Aunt Windy are going home and soon later, I also fell asleep. So mommy and papi been pushing me in the stroller for one hour before I wake up. Only then, we went home :) It was after all, a long day and everyone is tired.

As I mentioned yesterday, papi didn't have to go to work today. I didn't sleep through the night as well, for some reason. I woke up at 1am, then at 5am. Maybe I'm just excited? :)
Pastor Fendy also invited mommy and papi to his place to have dinner. Pastor Fendy actually invited all of the congregations and he's cooking satay, egg roll, and rujak. Initially, we are going to stay over at his house because the music practice will be tomorrow at San Bruno. But it was changed to Fremont, thus mommy and papi will not be staying over. So mommy only asked if I could use one of the room to take my nap. The dinner starts at 6:30pm, and my sleeping time is about 7:30pm.
We first dropped by Bank of America to deposit and then meet up with Pastor Henry at his place so that we can go together. The traffic is not too bad before San Mateo and then it is really bad, especially before the John Daly exit. It's probably because there is an AMC theater and it's also friday night.
We finally reached Pastor Fendy's home, it's my first time there. The last time mommy and papi came to Pastor Fendy's home is when mommy is pregnant and carrying me. Mommy ate Pastor Fendy's rujak as well :)
Before the dinner start, we sang a song for the Christmas and Pastor Fendy shared His Word. This time I was really quiet and listening :) unlike at church, I would be shouting. Then, it was time to eat!!! Well, mommy and papi will be eating. Papi ate a lot of satay, egg rolls, and rujak. It was delicious, but I can't eat the food yet :) After that, papi gave me milk before I sleep. Papi then asked where is the room and we both went downstairs. I cried at first because it's a new place and I didn't want to sleep as well. I end up laughing instead of trying to go to sleep. I was looking at the ceiling. It was more than 30 minutes. It was also quite loud upstairs since they are playing games after their dinner.
Papi thought it was already 10:30pm, so papi went up and asked mommy that we should go home so that I can be put to sleep. Papi didn't realize it until everyone got into the car, and it was only 9:30pm. Well, that's ok since we've to wake up early for mommy's music training at Fremont :) Mommy, papi, and I will have plenty of rest.

Horray... today is papi's last working day for the year. So basically, after tonight, papi will be at home until the new year. Now I can spend more time with papi. Most of the week days, I only spend a few hours because papi leave from home at 7am and comes back at 5pm. Especially if the shuttle bus comes late or the train is late, then I would have less time with papi :) It's a blessing for me that papi can be together as one family. Papi actually have 17 days vacation for this year, and papi only used up 10 days, so that 11 days will be carry over to next year.

Today, we're going to mommy's doctor at Redwood City. Papi woke up early, but mommy and I are still sleeping. So papi is going to take the next train and work at home for a little bit.
At about 2pm, mommy and I started to leave from Santa Clara. Mommy carried a lot of things, let see... diaper bag, thermos bottle, bottle bag, papi's lunch bag, and myself!! That's a lot of things. Mommy had to put some on her shoulders. Papi is suprised to know that when mommy told him.
Mommy reached papi's office at 2:30pm and it's also my time to drink my milk. Papi went up to the office to heat up the food and mommy fed me. Papi is also trying to finish up his work before going to mommy's doctor.
At about 3pm, papi came down and I actually didn't finish my milk. So papi drove to Redwood City. On the way, I fell asleep, so mommy told papi to wait in the car. But soon after mommy is at the doctor, I woke up. Papi tried to pretend to be asleep, but I caught him pretending :) I laughed at papi because I thought papi is playing with me.. hehhehh.
Soon after that, I poo, so papi went to the Men's restroom to change my diaper. Well, since it takes some time for me to change a diaper, one guy try to open the door. Of course it's locked and papi didn't say anything. The guy outside grew impatient and knocked on the door and papi said, "Yes!!". Papi just don't understand, the door is locked, so there must be someone inside, but still someone insist to check. Then the guy say, "Just checking".
After the doctor, papi returned the books first at Santa Clara library. There are a lot of cars, even at the drop-offs. We even saw a police giving parking citation because the car is parked too long. Papi end-up parking at the 3 minute zones and rushed to return the books. The women parking beside papi warned that the police is very strict. Mommy was laughing when papi ran with the stroller. Just in time, 3 minutes.
Then mommy and papi went to San Jose to visit new detached single homes. Mommy and papi plan to buy a new home, with at least 4 bedroom so that, if a new addition, a younger brother or sister :), we'll need a bigger house. Mommy and papi hope that God will open up the ways. There are just so many things, but mommy and papi believe God is the provider and even give in abundance.
It's a new KB home but there was not obvious sign. We drove around the area first, and there are already people living there. Papi then tried to call but it's the fax machine. Finally, papi stopped at 1702 E. William St and walked to find the number. There isn't 1702, but 1700. When papi looked inside, there was no one. When papi make a U-turn, he saw a building with a sign for development project. Yup, this will be the new homes in the near future that KBHome is selling.
Next stop, is another new home, also in San Jose, but it's near Milpitas and Santa Clara. The place has a nicer neighborhood but when we arrive, the office is also closed!! It's only 5:20pm and the office states that it closes at 6pm!!
Anyway, it is time for me to drink my milk and so mommy fed me while papi take a look around the area. Papi noticed that it's not detached, but attached townhomes. Hmm, that's strange. There was a house for sale, probably 1-2 years old.
So today, we end up not looking any new homes and went back home. Papi had to stop by Safeway to get mommy's medication. Well, since everyone has been inside the car, we decided to go out and have a walk in the Safeway supermarket :)
We didn't spend a lot of time at Safeway. When we got back, papi tried to call Uncle Sendy, then Grandma. But Aunt Susie actually picked up the phone and informed that Grandma is still in Singapore with Aunt Lenny. I talked to Aunt Lenny and Grandma a little bit, no real words yet :) but just random words.
After hanging up the phone, papi tried to feed me. It was almost time for me to go to sleep as well. Then Uncle Sendy called and spoke to papi. They are discussing about the plan to meet up at Monterey. Uncle Sendy will be visiting to SF :) I've been looking at papi and didn't drink my milk.
As soon as papi finished talking to Uncle Sendy, papi try to feed me again. I didn't finish it and papi burped me up first before putting me in the crib. The moment I was put in the crib, I cried. I didn't stop crying for 15 minutes and papi check on me. Papi tried to feed me again, but I didn't want to drink the milk. I kept on crying. At some point, even mommy, who is preparing my baby food came in and check on me. I was still crying. Mommy and papi know that I'm very sleepy. Even when papi sat me up, I was closing my eyes. And then I burped again and calmed down. I quickly went to sleep after that and the time is 8pm.

Today, we'll be looking for a new home at Milpitas before going to church. Also, mommy had to stop by 99 Ranch at Foster City to buy refreshment for church. The new home is near Great Mall America. Papi got lost :) so he had to drive around to find the new KB home.
We arrived at the new KBHome, there are 3 plans and it's also customizable. They are pretty nice. But, when we leave, we saw this place, Correction Facility. Then, there are barbed fences. Then... there are people clothed with black and white stripes. Hmm... look like they are prisoners?!?! Mommy imagined that they will be wearing an orange suit, but this place is like the olden times prisoner suit, black and white in stripes. There is article in San Jose Mercury News, http://www.mercurynews.com/crime/ci_7638867?nclick_check=1, that informed about this.
It's the first time for both mommy and papi first time looking in real life at prisoners. Apparently, this new KBHome is near a jail.
We later went to 99 Ranch at Foster City so that mommy can buy refreshment. Mommy also bought a sponge cake and I try a little bit :) It's a new taste, but I kind of like it :) Papi ate the leftover though because mommy ate only a bit.
We arrived pretty early at church since mommy thought it will take a while to look at the new home. So papi changed my diaper first and mommy fed me. Today, both mommy and papi will minister. In December, it's always short of ministers because most of them went back to Indonesia for vacation. Aunt Prissilia and Uncle Felix had made arrangement with Mommy that Aunt Prissilia will babysit for a while :) This is because Aunt Prissilia wants to get the feeling of taking care of a baby :) It was only for 20 minutes though :)

December 14, 2007

I will be going to the pediatrician today at 3pm for my second flu shot. It's like a booster for me so that I don't get flu :) Mommy and papi already had their flu shot that was provided by papi's company.
So papi work up early. I was on his side and so papi was sleeping in the corner. Both mommy and papi didn't sleep well because I've been crying. I'm not sure why. I'm just not comfortable. Papi left to Santa Clara Caltrain at 6:05am so that he could leave early in the afternoon. Papi kissed mommy and I before he leaves.
When papi got home, I was taking my nap. Mommy is taking her bath while I was sleeping. This is because, mommy is going out with her school friends for dinner. They are meeting at downtown SF because two of mommy's friends do not have transportation.
Few minutes later, I woke up. Mommy also told papi that I've already taken a bath :) So I'm ready to go.
We arrived at Pediatrics Associate at 3:10pm, yes, 10 minutes late. There was a lot of traffic on the way to San Jose. Papi quickly sign my name and pay for the doctor visit. I was called a moment later. This time, as I mentioned, I'm just going to get a flu vaccination. I'm not meeting the doctor and I'm not being measured or weigh :)
When the nurse gave me the shot, I was quiet at first. Then seconds later, I felt the pain so I cried. It's only natural because something foreign and it's like a sharp pain. I finally calm down after papi changed my diaper.
Mommy and papi then quickly drove home because it's time for me to drink my milk as well. Papi took the wrong turn and so we had to make a U-turn. The next freeway exit is pretty far and the car fuel is almost empty as well. By the time papi got into the right freeway, mommy and I fell asleep :)
When we arrived home, I soon wake up and papi fed me. I didn't drink much, only 2oz of milk. And after that, mommy and I continued our nap. Papi on the other still had to work because his project is not finished.
At about 5pm, mommy woke up first and prepare herself to meet her friends. Papi and I will drop mommy at her friend's work place, AMD at Sunnyvale. But first, we have to fill-up the gas first at Costco. Only after that, we went to AMD. That's where I met Uncle Leonard. There are still couple of friends that are carpooling together so they waited. Meanwhile, I'm getting hungry, so we left earlier.
On the way home, because it's dark, papi got lost again!!! I'm so hungry that I kept on crying. Papi said it will be a while because there is some traffic. Since all the workers are going home as well. Papi had to take a different exit so that we can get home faster. By the time we got home, papi fed me. Strangely, I only drank 3oz. But 30 minutes later, I drank another 2oz. Then papi prayed first for me and put me to sleep in my crib. Good night :)

7 Months Old

Today, I'm 7 months old!!!

I've been really good in the morning and afternoon. But I cried a lot late in the evening and mommy and papi slept with me in my room. It's been a while that mommy and papi is sleeping together with me :) I think mommy didn't want me to sleep alone and crying all night long.
I was drinking a lot of milk as well, 34oz. Mommy and papi are both surprised that I can drink that much and plus eating baby cereal. These few days, I've been waking up early in the morning as well, 4:30am, 5am, 5:30am etc. And I didn't sleep at my regular 7pm to 7:30pm. Hopefully I'm ok with my body clock :) Mommy and papi wants me to sleep a lot, hoping to have 10-12hrs straight of sleep. So far, only 10-11hrs. Looks like I'm going to need more sleep :)

Ok, remember the toy that mommy and papi bought from Toy R Us. Apparently, it is in espanol!!! Mommy was testing and found out that the words are in espanol. And mommy and papi are trying hard to find the receipt. Normally, it is will be 30 days for exchange/refund, but thank God it was 90 days, after papi found the receipt. So we went to Toy R Us and exchange for the english version.
We also went to the library. Mommy and papi want to borrow some books for themselves and for me :) Mommy and papi love going to the library because there are just a lot of books and information. I get to read a lot of books.
One thing that papi told mommy is that, papi never get to read a lot of books. He missed a lot of things. I think papi wants me to have a good habit of reading and also good knowledge. Papi even read me bible during our devotion in the morning.
There was also a meeting at San Bruno church, but papi chose not to go. This is because the meeting is at 7pm. Papi chose to spend time with mommy and I instead. There will be a time where there will be choices, decisions, and priorities. God is always first, Family is second, Church and Work is third. Papi believes that it's important to spend time with the Lord. Jesus who love us first, so that we can love Him back. I hope one day I can truly understand and accept His love and salvation. Jesus has a perfect plan for me with full of blessings and love, and so is everyone who wants to receive Him as the Savior.

Ok, everyone had a blast last night. It's Sunday as well and we will be going to church. Mommy didn't sleep until 5:15am since the girls are talking. Papi didn't had a full sleep because he's been taking care of me. It was a little bit cold last night.
It was soon after 7am that everyone starts waking up and people are leaving. The good thing is the Sunday service is not early in the morning :) so everyone took their time.
Mommy and papi tried to get some sleep again after papi fed me, so everyone, including myself, slept again :) At about noon, I was given my pear cereal that mommy made. I actually like it a lot. Mommy has been giving me new food to taste and eat with my baby cereal.
After that, papi clean me up. With all the rest and food, I'm all energized :) As you can see, I was standing up again at the couch :) I haven't do a full crawl.. just a little bit at a time. For some reason, I just like standing up :) Even one of my exercise with papi is, putting me on my back, then papi hold my hand while I pull myself up to sit. The next thing is to stand, again, papi hold my hand while I try to push my legs and stand on my own. It's so much fun :)
After the sunday service, everyone went straight home since papi had to work tomorrow morning. Everyone is just trying to get some rest :) Good night and Jesus, we thank You for loving, protecting, blessing us. In Your Name Jesus Christ, mommy, papi, and I pray.

Horray.... Christmas Party is tonight. Mommy will be dressing me in Santa Claus suit... hehe.. I don't even have a big tummy or white beard :) I'm so called Baby Santa, just for fun. I think mommy just wants me to be in a costume.
In the morning, we went to church because mommy had music practice. It has been months that mommy hasn't minister. Of course, when mommy is pregnant with me since mommy cannot stand too long, and also when mommy is taking care of me. The only time she can minister is when papi is not ministering the LCD. However, papi found a way, especially when no one is able to replace papi with the LCD ministry. The solution... the Bjorn :) Since the multimedia computer is in the sound room, even if I were to cry our shout, I wouldn't be disturbing anyone. But I've been behaving myself while papi is ministering :)
After music practice, we went home and stopped by Safeway. Mommy bought some more items for tonight's Christmas party. Most of the food are already prepared last night while I was sleeping. Also, some friends will be staying overnight. There was a lot of food since it's also a potluck. Mommy made three dishes: garlic bread, potato, and pizza. Uncle Dony made spaghetti, Aunt Priscillia made baked macaroni, Uncle Edwin brought soda, and Uncle Caofen bought Tiramisu from Buca De Beppo and it's mommy's favorite dessert. Papi had to make some arrangement with the parking because there is no more guest parking spaces in the garage. While some park their car near our home, some park near Pastor Henry's place.
When it was time for me to eat, Papi feed me in my room. I didn't get a chance to take a group photo because it was also time for me to go to sleep. After drinking my milk, I went to sleep just fine and only then was able to eat his dinner.
There was a game, Catch Phrase. It's basically a game where there is a phrase or a word, but you can only describe it by not using the word. Papi didn't play because he's going to take photo and just in case I wake up. During the game, it was getting exciting and fun, and thus of course, it gets really loud. Everyone was laughing their hearts out. When papi checked on me, I was actually crying. I think I'm just frightened by the sudden laughter and couldn't get back to sleep :( So papi accompanied me so that I can go back to sleep. They continued to play until Aunt Fannie came from her company christmas party. She came because she know couple of the girls are staying overnight. I guess it's those "Girls Night Out".
Papi and I end up sleeping outside because some of the guests are sleeping in my room. Papi didn't want me to disturb them so papi and I slept in the living room. Uncle Dony was already asleep on the sofa. Hopefully, he can tolerate papi's snoring, it's really loud :) I myself was awaken by papi's snoring :) Mommy sometimes couldn't sleep because papi snore really loud. But thank God, mommy and I can sleep even though papi snores. Good night everybody.

I woke up at 6:20am, I was very quiet, just looking around and observing the room. Mommy sensed that I am already awake, so papi came in to my room to check me out. Indeed, papi was surprised to see me awake. So papi changed my diaper first and brought me to mommy. Papi still have time, since he has to leave at 7am. So he prepared milk for me and feed me.
Mommy and papi thank God :) The first night is successful. I was able to sleep by myself. But mommy and papi is still not used to it. Both mommy and papi kept listening to the baby monitor and hoping that I will be ok :) Hehhee.. I think they are just taking extra precaution. But I'm ok mommy and papi, don't worry too much.
-----
Tonight, I will be sleeping on my own again :) Hopefully I will do good just like yesterday and that mommy and papi can sleep as well. I love you mommy, papi, and Jesus. Good night :)

It's another Sunday and we will be going to church :) This time papi is not scheduled to minister LCD and so everyone is kind of relax. Normally, we will have to reach church by 4pm, but we left the church at 4pm :) When we are about to leave, mommy asked papi for my milk bag. But mommy and papi soon realized that the milk bag isn't in the car, nor at home. So it must have been left somewhere.. hmm... maybe at Stacks?? So I only have one milk to drink. Stacks is closed as well, so papi will call them on Monday.

Mommy also ask Aunt Linda for the baby monitor. Mommy has been waiting for this ever since I turn 6 months old :) Even though our home is small, papi thinks it's better to use a baby monitor as well. Sometimes, I don't even cry or make any "noises" when I wake up :)

At church, this time papi didn't use the Bjorn. He is holding me and so I am standing up. So during the whole praise and worship, I am actually standing up. I haven't drank my milk as well. It was not until 6pm that I drank my milk :)

After the service, we all went home. Mommy and papi is going to try out the baby monitor :) And tonight will be my first time sleeping by myself. Papi feed me first and later put me in my crib. It's just like any other night for me :) So I went to sleep. Good night everybody :) I love you mommy, papi and Jesus.

Today, we've a plan to go to Stacks at Burlingame to have brunch. Papi has been mentioning this for a while, since two years ago. Finally mommy and papi get a chance to go there and have brunch.
Aunt Irene and Uncle Dony also were there. They are planning to go to Embassy Suite at Burlingame to take a look for their wedding reception. They are also interested with the brunch.
We are suppose to meet at 10:30am, but we arrived late. I was still sleeping and mommy didn't want to wake me up first. We arrived at Stacks and parking is hard to get. There are already a lot of people waiting at Stacks. Aunt Irene and Uncle Dony got there first and they got the number. Then, 15 minutes later, we are all seated.
We ordered Crab Fritatta, Eggs Louis, and Ham & Mushroom Skillets. After that, mommy gave me my apple cereal. It's really good :) I guess mommy and papi have their brunch, I have mine as well :)
After that, we walked around downtown Burlingame. Mommy accompanied them while papi parked and fed me. It is also time for me to drink my milk. When I finished my milk, papi try to find a restroom to change my diaper. Then, papi went to go to Pottery Barn and changed my diaper in the Men's restroom.
We also went to 99 Ranch Market in Foster City to do monthly grocery. Mommy is going to make broccoli and sweet potato for me :)
