Going to see if I can make it to meet a couple of girlfriends for lunch in...gasp...Chinatown today.  I think it may be mad crazy.  Then I'm going to stop by and visit my momma.  B is feeling better today...a little stopped up at the end of his pipeline...but I gave him a few teaspoons of prune juice this morning.  Hope it helps :-)

Anyhoo...happy Monday y'all!  And Happy Chinese New Year to my Chinese friends!  And Chuc Muong Nam Moi to my Vietnamese friends!  and Happy Lunar New Year to the rest of my Asian friends!  Happy everything everybody! :)

Baby Steps...literally

Before I forget. He is 13 1/2 monts old.B took three steps to me all by himself tonight. Twice. This was right before I put him in bed for the night. And before I forget, I wanted to jot it down. It was quite exciting of course. Figures it would be the one time I didn't have my iPhone nearby to capture his first steps. Oh well...maybe he'll try again tomorrow. I rather wish he'd keep practicing going downstairs instead. that would be easier on my arms and back. :-p

On another note, I just joined Pinterest. I don't know what I'm doing yet, but I do know that this can be very addictive. This may impede my ability to read all of my google reader posts. Oiy.

My li'l guy has been under the weather for a few weeks now. I started him on an antibiotic this week. His mommy and daddy haven't been 100% either. It's hard to keep your germs to yourself when all you want to do is hug and love on this...

Tyin' the Knot!

Haha! That's the name of my nail polish that I'm currently loving :-) I already tied the knot back in 2004 in case you were wondering :-p

I keep looking at my nails (although my hands are so tired looking) so I figured I'd just blog it. I think the color is rather hip and i'm pretty unhip most of the time. Also, this is my attempt at more frequent blogging, lol!

Anyhoo, I picked up this polish the other night while it was 50% off so it was $2.50. Ahhh...I love a good deal. And that's way better than the $8 for OPI polish that I splurge on.

Anyhoo---happy hump day folks!

Waiting

Our entire family has been quite under the weather lately. After almost two weeks of runny noses, congestion, and coughing...I took both B and myself to our doctors on Thursday. B was a very patient boy waiting at both his doctor's office lobby and mine.

3rd cut

Here's B getting his 3rd haircut ever from his granny. He looks much older than a 13 month old here.

36

I turned 36 this past weekend. I really cannot believe how fast the years have flown by. 35 was a very fun year...mainly b/c of my new baby boy I was with everyday. I'm sure this year will be just as fun.

Hubby helped me celebrate by getting Benjamin a babysitter so that he and I could go catch a movie together for the first time since B was born. We went to see "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" and the added bonus? We watched it on IMAX. That definitely was a neat experience. I should have made DH take me to see Twilight's "Breaking Dawn" instead...I would've loved watching that for a third time :-)

After the movie, we enjoyed a nice dinner with Benjamin and his babysitters-his favorite Uncle Jae and Auntie Jina and cousin Madison. We went back to a Brazilian steakhouse that hubby and I tried out about a month ago for the first time. Needless to say, it was delicious :-D

On the day before my bday, I met up with my closest girlfriends at my favorite tex-mex place...Chuy's of course.

And on the day after my bday, we had a late lunch at my MIL's home.

My favorite gift? The external flash for my camera that I had on my wish list :-) that comes in later this week. Can't wait!

Maybe this'll be the year I finish up some of my scrapbooking projects. Maybe I can finish at least 36 pages?!?! A girl can dream, right?

Here are a couple of pics...then it's time to give my fingers a break...blogging from my iPhone is not a comfortable thing to do. But I must try to keep up with this blog this year. Wish me luck with that!!!
