05.18.02 HAPPY
BIRTHDAY to T-Wong! Today
was a nice relaxing day. Ashlyn and I slept in while Aric got ready
for school. It was nearly noon when we finally got ourselves out of
bed. After Ashlyn was dressed and fed, we went to the market to buy
some groceries. I strapped on the Baby Bjorn and we did our shopping.
Virginia,
Tony, and lil' Matthew came over and hung out for a couple of hours.
It was really good to see them again. The last couple of times I saw
Virginia (ie...Ivy's shower and wedding), I didn't get a chance to really
catch up with her. Virginia and I have known one another through mutual
friends as well as worked together for many many years in the SF pageant
scene. I
had a great time chatting with her and Tony. Our talk mainly revolved
around our offspring or just being engrossed in watching our kids play.
Lil' Matthew is so cute! He enjoys handing you things, giving kisses,
bobbing his head and waving his arms to music, and he can communicate
his needs and wants with words and gesture (which is something I'm totally
looking forward to)! Okay...I can no longer deny it...Ashlyn is really
BIG for her age. I don't consider her unhealthily big...just BIG. She's
the same weight as lil' Matthew (who is almost twice her age) and almost
the same size as he is. I guess there's no point in worrying about it
now. Once she's more mobile, she might slim down a bit. *fingers crossed*
I just don't want to be one of those people on "MAURY" going,
"Yeah...for breakfast, my daughter eats half a dozen fried eggs,
four pieces of toast, a pound of bacon, a half gallon of milk, and a
twinkie." =P Pictures from today:
Aric
finally got a haircut today. YAY! It must have been all the teasing
and 'fro remarks. hehehe After he got back, we cooked dinner together
and watched TV. We ended up watching "While You Were Sleeping".
I don't care how many times I've seen that movie, I still love it and
always cry during Sandra Bullock's monologue during the wedding scene.
*sigh* Ashlyn had another runny diaper tonight, so we changed her and
I did another load of laundry. Then I took advantage of the fact that
Aric was playing with her to work on the wall borders in Ashlyn's room.
This project is losing it's momentum, and I'm getting quite impatient.
*sigh*
