B-day Celebration x3 & Playdate

It's been a party kind of weekend. First K attended Coco's 2nd party. Her party was Mickey Mouse themed. Check out the huge cake she had.

Birthday girl and her mommy. Coco you are growing up way too fast!

Saturday was Mommy's birthday. Daddy surprised Mommy and arranged for Uncle Richard to watch K when she went to bed so they could go on a date. K wanted to show uncle she had a pair of glasses too!

K helped mommy blow out the candles on her cake.  K said "more candles" after they were all blown out.

 

Sunday James and Auntie Lilian came over for a play date. The two kiddos went to the park and blew bubbles. K loves to blow them on her own.

James was so funny. He got a toy dog from his grandma. He pulled the dog by the string as if it was a real dog.  Auntie Lilian says he takes it for walks around their block.

The two had a picnic at the park. Daddy packed them pasta and veggies and for dessert they had blueberries.

Auntie Lilian is expecting in June. K can't wait to have another new friend soon.

Monday was Daddy's birthday. Since K was in school, her parents took the day off and went up to Napa to try Morimoto's restaurant.  Mommy gave it a thumbs up. The bento boxes came with a big variety!

Daddy has the biggest sweet tooth, so he ordered the ice cream sandwiches.

K sang happy birthday for the third time this weekend! She doesn't seem to be scared of getting too close to the flame.

Adam's Red Egg & Ginger Party

Over the weekend, K attended Adam's Red Egg and Ginger Party. Adam was so cute. He wore plaid just like his Daddy!

Emma was at the party too. She was curious to see what K was eating.

K met a new friend, Ethan. He is younger than her but so much bigger in weight and height.

Kara's cupcake just opened in Burlingame so K got a special treat. A mini cupcake just for her!

Mommy had to scrape out the frosting since she didn't want K to be on a sugar high. K only took a few bites of the cupcake. Guess she doesn't have a sweet tooth like Daddy.

K really enjoys puzzles. Teacher Marirose says that's one of K's favorite activities at school. She loves the bear puzzle from Auntie Mai and Uncle Brian. She gets to pick and choose what the bears can wear.

On a grocery trip once all the groceries were taken out of the shopping cart, K wanted to sit inside.

K got a hold of scotch tape and decided to make a mustache out of it! She even tried to make a manly face. Does she look like Luigi?

Under The Weather

Last week K was feeling under the weather and had to stay home from school. Daddy finally built the dream kitchen she received for Christmas to cheer her up. Daddy stayed up all night building it. Who would have know how many million of pieces it came with. Thanks Auntie Caroline and Uncle Vu for the gift!

K received her first Valentine from Teacher Marirose. Marirose gives the best hugs too! She always greets K with a warm smile during drop offs.

On Friday it was bring your favorite book to school day. K picked The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss to share with her friends. She likes the book so much she wanted to read it on the car ride to school.

Mommy, Daddy and K spent the weekend at Po Po and Gung Gung's house. K tried doing a pose on Po Po's yoga mat.

When K was sick she lost some weight. She didn't have any appetite for two days. Her face definitely slimmed down, but her appetite came back when she saw the sweet cake served for Chinese New Year.

On Sunday K celebrated Chinese New Year at Great Grandma's house with the extended family. After dinner Ethan serenaded everyone while playing his guitar.

Message of Love

Right after Valentine's Day, K expressed her feelings for Mommy :)

Line By Line

K has been saying sentences more like "Mommy sit here" or when Daddy honked his horn on the freeway, she said "Daddy beep beep car." When Daddy rubbed his eyes, she asked- "Daddy tired?" She also has been referring to herself in the third person. She calls herself KK. She says "KK shoes or "KK wear hat." But from time to time she still babbles. Here's an example of her trying to read line by line the daily notes written by her teachers.

Mason's First Birthday

Mason's first birthday was last weekend. The theme of his barn yard animals. He had a cool cake with a pig, horse and barn. They were all edible.

There was a pinata set up in the backyard. McKenna was the first to take a swing and the only kid that wanted to be blind folded.

The birthday boy cried when it was his turn. Auntie Becca said Mason loves animals and did not believe in animal cruelty.

Mckenna was the big winner. Her prize was not only the candy that came out but the head of the horse to take home.

K really liked Mckenna and gave her a big hug when she saw her.

During the party Auntie Erica played airplane with K.

After the party, K went to great grandma's house for an early Chinese new year dinner. She had fun ironing her jacket.

Colorful Cheerois

K has been practicing her colors.

She is talking more these days. Her favorite phrase is "I did it!" At the dinner table, before she takes a bite, she says "Daddy eat" and "Mommy eat." And Mommy's favorite is when Mommy says" I Love You" to K, K will point her finger at Mommy with a big smile and say "YOU!!!"
