Playtime @ Vieira Park

We're fortunate to have a park within minutes of our house even though it took the developers MANY years to build one. To make sure Adrian gets plenty of fresh air and exercise, we're frequent visitors to many of the neighbourhood parks. Sometimes it's nice not having drive, but instead walk along a nice short path to reach a toddler friendly park. On this particular trip, we were rewarded with some of my all-time favorite shots of the little munchkin. Good job, honey! :)

Adrian in the Passenger Seat

Adrian is seriously showing some major signs of independence. From wanting to feed himself, buckling himself in his car seat and helping around the house. After spending an afternoon viewing the King Tut exhibition at the De Young Musuem, he decided that he's old enough to sit in the passenger seat besides Daddy and refused to go back to his lush and super cool Moo Moo car seat. The little guy eventually lost the battle and was returned to his seat, but of course he didn't do it so quietly! :(

My Lil Goofball

I'm almost certain if you were to look up the word, "Goofball" in the dictionary, you'll find Adrian's name! My little munchkin is always clowning around and is constantly surprising us with various goofy actions. We both enjoy his great sense of humor and encourage it at the same time! Here's the goofball being his goofy self under his beloved table. Sometimes, I feel that he has this goofy/cheeky look permanently etched on his cute little cherubic face! :)

Singing "Old MacDonald Had A Farm..."

This is a special recording of Adrian that never made it onto our website until now. Children music is regularly played in our baby mobile whenever Adrian is riding with us. One night on our drive back home, our little munchkin decided to sing along to his version of "Old MacDonald Had A Farm." At the end of the clip, he also says "Bye Bye" to signal that he's done singing and my cue to stop recording!!!

Looking back, I am so grateful that I had my Flip camera with me (a MUST HAVE in my purse) to capture this event as the little munchkin rarely ever sings along to this song! :( So here's a valuable advice from one parent to another -- ALWAYS have a camera or camera phone charged and handy! You never know when your child might do something silly, goofy, fun that you want to capture for memory sake, so better be prepared than regret it down the road! :)

Pristine's 3rd Birthday Party

I thought time goes by pretty quickly after I graduated from college and started working. Apparently, I was mistaken and that the truth is it goes on a faster acceleration plan after you have a child. I can't believe that my little munchkin is 19-months young! Where did all of the time go? Speaking of time, I can still remember little Pristine's Red Egg and Ginger party where she was just 1-month young and here we are celebrating her third birthday party at the Rainforest Cafe in San Francisco!

We had a terrific time catching up with the rest of the Tam family and making an animal balloon for little Adrian. For more pictures of Pristine's party, click here.
Happy 3rd Birthday, Pristine! :)

My favorite shot of the evening and the "money shot" goes to this next one of little Adrian and little Haley kissing! I hope this doesn't become a habit! :)

Adrian's 18-Month Check-Up

I'm behind on my blogs yet again! As a full time working Mum, I cherish every moment I spend with my little munchkin. The great thing about having little Adrian in my life is no matter how crazy or how stressful or how unsettling my day may be at work, coming home to this little guy makes my world a much happier place!

At Adrian's 18-Month Check-up in early March, he weighed in at 28lbs (with clothes b/c he was unusually fussy that day) and 32.75 inches tall. This translates to 90th and 50th percentile respectively. I'm not quite sure if those measurements were entirely accurate since the little munchkin wasn't fully cooperating with the nurse that morning, but Ed and I both know that our little guy is eating well, playing well and healthy and that's all that matters really!

See link for his previous check-up results at 15-months.
Adrian, the little trooper smiled for me even though he had just endured a shot. This was the last for a few more years (?)!
