Fishie Fishie

K got to experience her first trip to the aquarium. We went to Aquarium of the Bay at Fisherman's Wharf. The place was not that big, but it was good enough to peak K's interest. We saw sting rays, sharks, starfishes, frogs, Nemos, octopuses, sturgeons and much more.  She enjoyed walking through the tunnels of fish tanks and at the same time did some people watching as well. She is one curious girl!

This was her intrigued expression as she looked up at the sharks swimming on top across the tank.

Pretty cool looking jellyfish

Starfish

Since K was so fascinated by the fishes...which aquarium should we go to next...Monterey, Academy of Science?

Old Pals

Auntie Lauren and Tristan dropped by for a visit today. Tristan is one of K's oldest buddies (given she's only 4.5 months old). Tristan, Court and K had monthly play dates during the summer when all the mommies were on maternity leave, so the three of them have practically grown up together. Auntie Lauren would call our condo, T's second home!

Our babies are growing up so fast! The top pic was taken when K was only two weeks old. Thank goodness she is a calmer baby now. T is crawling now and has 4 teeth and Auntie Lauren has a new sexy mom do!  In the pic below, K shows some affection to T by touching his arm.

T answers back by trying to kiss her ear!

T is definitely one of the world's cutest babies! LOVE his smile!

Weekend Festivites

On Saturday, K spent time at great grandma's house (who is 94 years old!) Great Grandma was ecstatic to hold and see K. This picture is pretty endearing as you can see how much she loves K. Also included in the pic are Auntie Tiffany, Rayden and Kaylyn.

Grandma was also happy to see K. We don't get to see her too often since she lives in Sacramento, but she always showers K with hugs and kisses whenever we see her.

On Sunday, we attended the 5th annual family BBQ at Lake Chabot in Hayward. It was hosted by Auntie Kristine. She is a fantastic cook and comes up with creative and new things for us to feast on each year. One of the items on this year's menu included a seafood broil with tons of giant shrimp, potatoes, mussels and even lobster tails. She cooked it directly on the charcoal for 4 hours! I wish I charged my camera battery, so I can show how mouth watering it looked. I only took this picture of K and Auntie Suzy before the battery died. The BBQ area was pretty sunny and I forgot K's hat, so cousin Christian let her borrow his 49er cap. That's two strikes for mommy's forgetfulness!  It was relaxing day-eating and spending time with family. K even met two new friends from our extended family baby Connor & Alexis. Hopefully at next year's BBQ, K can walk and play with them. Connor is 1 1/2 and Alexis is 1.

After a weekend of fun, K and Daddy spent some quiet time together reading books.

4 Month Check Up

On Thursday, K went to her 4 month check up. She weighs 14 pounds, 14ozs. She is in the 75th percentile in weight. I think she may have gotten her baby fat from me. Grandma said when I was a baby, I was super fat and chunky.

K measured 25.5 inches in height which is the 90th percentile. Dr. Mason said her height might eventually taper off, but it would be awesome if she grew up to be taller than Daddy and I. Her head circumference is 16.25 cm which is the 50th percentile. Her head may be on the littler side since I have trouble finding her hats that fit.

Dr. Mason also said K is definitely an active baby. Check her out...we definitely have a grabber in the house.

First she reaches for the stethoscope.

Next she goes for the doc's tie. What a funny girl I have!

All in all, Dr Mason said K seems to be a pretty happy baby. We will see him again at her 6 month check up.

Back To The Grind

Today was my first day back at work.  So far, it was not as bad as how I would imagine it would be. I have an office now and our department admin packed up my stuff when I was out, so my boss told me to unpack and take it easy today! I had fun decorating my office with pictures of K. I know every day won't be such a breeze. It does sound like I will be really busy with a lot of projects coming my way.

Allen and I carpooled today, so we got to drop off and pick up K together. Lolita said K is very friendly. She is laughing a lot and is a chatterbox by trying to talk all day. It's comforting to know she is adjusting well at daycare.  I still miss her during the day, but the best part is picking her up and seeing her face light up when she sees me! I now have something to look forward to every day!

Here's a pic of us taken when she was 2 months old! This reminds me of how fast she grows up and to treasure every moment!

First Giants Game

Today, K went to her first Giant's game against the Diamondbacks. We didn't get there until the 3rd inning since K slept in until 9am after her 5am feeding and her nap schedule ended up being later. It was a lot of fun and we stayed until the top of the 9th inning. Sadly we won't be able to go to another game until next season!

Pregame photo with Daddy. Thanks for the onesie Uncle Dan & Auntie Mel!

Uncle Richard & Auntie Tammy got these adorable Giants booties which was perfect for the game!

Too bad K is not looking at the camera for our family photo!

Chilling at our seats. Her bib says it all!

It was a Star Wars theme at the game. There were Hans Solo & Chawbaccas everywhere. We happened to run across some Stormtroppers and they offered to take a pic with K.

After the game, we attended a family bbq at Auntie Diane's house with all the fixings. We celebrated cousin Ethan's 10th birthday.

This is Auntie Annie. You can't see, but she is expecting baby Ashley in October. K will have a new playmate soon! YAY!!

Doesn't Uncle Derek look like he's on his way to growing a "fear the beard" look?

On Saturday we walked around the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival and found Uncle Rob's booth for State Farm. 

Eyelashes

I couldn't help but check out K's eyelashes when she was sleeping the other day. They are getting super long and full. I can see the right side is even starting to curl a little. I wish I had long eyelashes like hers! Now we just have to work on getting a double eyelid!
