i am san jose’s littlest sharks fan!

daddy was really reluctant to take me to the shark tank because he thought i would be too cold, being 10 rows from the ice and all.  but i was nice and warm all bundled up in the new sharks fleece that i got just for the game — it has covered feet and built-in mitts.  pretty nifty, eh?  it’s too bad that i won’t fit this outfit for very long.  mommy said that i was gonna outgrow it before the first intermission

i’m so glad that mommy and daddy took me to the game, because i loooved it.  my eyes were wide with awe through all 3 periods and OT.  there were so many new sights and sounds, not to mention the two hot blondes that i was flirting with.  but i just couldn’t keep my eyelids open through the 13 round shootout.  that’s right, 13.  mommy was so tired from all the standing, sitting, standing, sitting, standing… (you get the picture) while holding all 13 pounds of me every time a new shark skated out.  we were just waiting to see nabby shoot — that would have been so funny.

i can’t wait to go to my next game, but i’ll need to find a new warm outfit to wear!

mommy took koda to spidey’s birthday party tonight.  they ate stuff like edamame, veggie crudite, and artichoke dip.  and they sipped fancy wines and cranberry vodka cocktails by the fire.  it was a girls only party, so i wasn’t invited.  pshaw.  i didn’t want to go anyway.

that means that daddy and i were free to have a boys night out!  it was our very first time going out by ourselves, so it was an exciting experience for us.  out of all of us, i think mommy was the most nervous about how the evening would go.  but i took care of daddy and we were just fine by ourselves.

i took daddy out to do some very manly things.  we scoffed at mommy’s arugula salad — daddy and i had pizza and soda and watched my uncles skate around in circles and hit each other with big sticks.  grrrrrah!  they called it roller hockey, but i call it fun fun fun!  i can’t wait til i get bigger so i can play too

recently, my hands have gotten to be really tasty.  i love sucking on my fists.  yummy!  but as hard as i try, i can’t get my entire fist into my mouth.

but today i made an amazing discovery.  i have a thumb!  it is the perfect size for my little mouth — it’s like a built-in pacifier.  and it’s even better than a pacifier because it’s deeelicious!

yes, much to mommy and daddy’s dismay, i am a thumb sucker.  they remove my thumb from my mouth whenever they can, but they’re not always fast enough.

sooo tasty!

auntie helen is turning 90 and there was a big party thrown in her honor.  i figured i should look nice for this special occasion, so i went shopping to get a new pair of black cords and a red sweater.  i knew auntie would like my outfit because red is good luck in the chinese culture.

i was treated like a v.i.p. when i arrived at the party.  there was a nametag and table assignment waiting for me, and i even got my very own seat and place setting.  babies never get their own seats — i felt like a grown up!

and i must say, i looked quite dapper in my new outfit, even though i’m going bald.  i am pretty self-conscious about my hair loss, but mommy assures me that it will grow back.

happy 2 month birthday to me

things i like:

• tummy time
• bathtime
• lying on the changing table (i know a clean diaper is just seconds away)
• clawing at my eyes and face (mommy HATES it when i do this!)
• my mobile (now that i can track objects with my eyes!)

things i don’t like:

• lying on my back
• books (i complain whenever mommy and daddy read to me)
• manicures (i clench my fists so mommy can’t trim my nails)
• ergo carrier (i don’t like being put into it, but i’m ok once i’m in it)

i got a clean bill of health at my checkup today.

here are my latest stats:  12 pounds 14 ounces (75 %ile) and 23 inches (52 %ile).  now i’m no statistician, but i’m pretty sure that makes me officially overweight.  hmph.  stupid growth curves.  doc doesn’t seem concerned though, so neither am i.

i got more vaccinations today, too — two shots in the leg and some yucky syrup that i had to eat.  bleccch.  mommy cried when i got the shots.  i dunno what she was crying about.  i am the one that had big needles stuck in me!
