First Halloween

Trick-or-Treat anyone?

Happy Halloween!

Trick-or- treating at Serramonte Mall so Mommy can eat all my candy

Pre Halloween Festivities

We took K to a nearby pumpkin patch. K had just woken up from her nap. She looks a little sad and maybe groggy.

Daddy couldn't get a smile out of her either.

Lolita hosted a luncheon for all the parents last week. She served authentic Mexican dishes that filled our bellies and the kids dressed up in their costumes. Featured in this pic is Lolita, the gypsy, Gloria, the devil and Laura. Gloria and Laura have been working at the daycare for over 8 years. Laura loves K to pieces. She always tells K, I will bring you home with me.

Not sure what K is doing here...perhaps being camera shy! Her friends Lovey is Belle and Caitlin is Strawberry Shortcake.

Dr. Mason said K can start eating solids at 6 months which is less than a week away! We gave K a preview of solids by giving her a taste of a banana. It looks like she's ready to chew away!



Daddy captured this video on his iphone of K checking herself out in the mirror.

Social Butterfly

K's social calendar was booked up this weekend. We celebrated great grandpa's 90th birthday at Koi Palace. It's kind of crazy to think K and him are 90 years apart!

We hope we get his genes and look this good when we are 90!

K missed the photo op since she was sleeping, but maybe Daddy can photoshop her in! This is all of the grandkids and great grandkids.

We also went to Daddy's coworker, Aimee's engagement party. She is getting married next September.

Grandpa and Grandma came to visit. Grandma fed K a bottle for the first time.

And lastly we went to Uncle Johnny and Auntie's Faith's house for dinner. They made some finger licking good ribs! The meat was so tender, it fell off the bone. In this picture, are their kids. Aubra is in the back and from left to right (Landon and Emery).  K had fun playing with them and the kids offered to babysit K anytime.

Surviving The Heat

Since the weather has been so nice and warm outside, we took advantage of it and decided to take K to the playground in our complex. Finally my HOA monthly fees are going toward something useful!  This was K's first time time on a slide. The look on her face tells me she is not sure what to expect. She's probably thinking, what are you guys doing to me? Should I be scared?

Judging by the expression on her face after she came down, she wasn't scared at all and really liked it.  She looks like a little daredevil. Daddy and I went down a couple more times with her. Let me tell you, slides seem much higher and steeper when you are going down with a baby!

Remember playing on this when you were younger?

K wasn't too interested. She cared more about putting her fingers in her mouth. Next time we will go to a park with a swing, so she can experience another first.

For those of you that have been to our condo, they know how warm it is. The condo is even more toasty when the outside temperature rises. It was a whopping 85 degrees inside our condo yesterday, so K cooled off by wearing just her diaper and bib.

Special Delivery From HK

Daddy's friend, Uncle Norman came to pay a visit to K. Uncle Norman currently lives and works in Hong Kong. He was stopping by SF on his way to a business trip. His wife, Auntie Dalena could not make it and was bummed she could not see K, so we will have to go to Hong Kong when K gets older and see her. They offered us a place to stay at their home when we are in town. Uncle Norman says it's even child proof since his 3 year old niece comes to visit.

K loves to grab and touch people's faces as shown in this picture

Two men and a little baby

Auntie Dalena picked out this cute chinese top and matching skirt called a cheong sam. It will be a perfect outfit for Chinese New Year which will be at the end of January 2012!

K continues to practice sitting up, here is her crouching tiger pose.

Practice, Practice, Practice

These days, Daddy has been practicing with K to learn how to sit up. 

Leaning a little to the left....

She still needs her arms to brace herself and lean forward, but A for effort!

According to Lolita, K has been a little fussy at daycare this week. Lolita said K is usually pretty cheerful and happy, but she has been drooling like crazy, licking her gums and beginning to whine. We suspect she is starting to teethe, so we got her a teething ring to hopefully ease the pain. We pray to God that teething does not affect her sleep at night!
