Shiela’s baby shower

Earlier today we drove up to Sacramento for my cousin’s baby shower. This year is full of babies. First us, next my cousin, and soon after that, my sister!

Anyways, it was good seeing everyone today. First the shower with great food and great company, and afterwards, a trip to my cousin’s house for a nice cool dip in the pool. It also happened to be Lulu’s first time! She had a great time. At first she wasn’t all too sure about the big “bath tub” but she got used to it pretty quickly. In no time flat, she was kicking, splashing and smiling.

All in all, a really good day!

4th of July Weekend

For family in the US, I hope you all had a good 4th of July weekend. For us all in San Jose, mom and dad had an early celebration on Friday with a BBQ. As usual, dad’s BBQ’d chicken, steak and corn were excellent!

Dad at the grill.Sunday morning was a big day for Lulu – she had solid food for the first time!  We were supposed to start her on Saturday, but we wanted her to be a “baby” for one more day. She did extremely well, not too messy, and not too fussy. I think she’s been waiting for quite a while – while we eat, she makes mouthing motions as if to say that she’s eating too. Too cute.

 

Angela needed a day to catch-up with school. To make things easier, I took Lulu and Myles to Casa de Fruta for the day. As in the past, playing local tourist, we get there and ate at the restaurant (which is pretty good, and really not expensive at all) and finished by sharing a cherry pie a la mode (their pies are excellent!). Lulu go hungry too, so I fed her a bottle. We left to go play at the playground and walk around. I think today was my first “mostly daddy day” with Lulu :)
