Cranky, Sick and Molars

I've been out of commission for the last few weeks for 3 reasons:

1. I have new molars - my two bottom molars took almost a whole month to fully erupt! At first, we thought they were just teeth... but a few weeks later the back part of the molars broke through my gums ... then finally the middle part. I still had leftover gums in the middle of my molars and it totally grossed Mommy out!

2. Sick - It started with a runny nose for a few days (starting on Dec 12.), runny nose turned into "bubbly snot nose" to cough to low fever. I was SUPER clingy at this time and I demanded that Mommy or Daddy hold me 24/7. Every morning, Mommy would wake up and tell Daddy, "I think I'm getting sick too.", but she ate lots of oranges and took Airborne... she didn't get sick until I was almost completely better (Dec. 23)

3. Cranky - With these two things going on in my life, you can only imagine how cranky I was! I definitely wasn't my usual self... I would still get excited when Daddy walked through the door, but then I would get back to being cranky... and I didn't eat for 2 days, which also made me cranky because... well, I'm trying to grow, darn it!

Merry Christmas 2008!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

watching Eebee

A video of what it's like for me to watch Eebee... it just makes me want to dance!

(from Mommy - I still don't know what the obsession with Eebee is, but I have to admit, their tunes are catchy and James and I will often ask each other: "what song do you have in your head?"... lately, it's been all Eebee songs! We need to cool it down...)

Bowling with the San Diegans

We were able to spend some time with the San Diegans while they were here. We went to a bowling alley. Ison and I got to run around and play with Isaiah and Jeila when they weren't bowling. I was really happy just running up and down the ramp! Auntie Freida won me a leopard from the UFO catcher game.

I had a lot of fun with everyone!

Bye Bye Uncle Pat

We know you're smiling down on us from Heaven!

Fishy time!

After Uncle Pat's funeral, we were invited to lunch by his family at World Gourmet Buffet.

The best part about the restaurant was the fishy pool in the lobby! All the kids gathered around the fishy pool at one point and... it was the highlight of my week!

I was so excited to see the fish!

Hey Isaac! Do you see the pfish!?

Mommy!
Stop taking pictures and look at the fish!

Mason was brave enough to stick his finger in the pool.

And here's the video:

Me, Daddy and some of my cousins!

Just pooped!

After visiting Uncle Pat...

I was just pooped out! I usually won't sleep anywhere else but my bed (or stroller or carseat), but I was sooo pooped that Mommy was able to put me down in the livingroom!

Isaac's 2nd birthday party!

After visiting Uncle Pat, we went to Isaac's birthday party... we were pretty late, arriving after the cake cutting and the guests were starting to leave. It's ok, we got to spend some QT with Isaac and his Mommy and Daddy! and by QT, I mean RB!

I think every RockBand owner parent has a child with this guitar to rock out on...
I have 2! One is French and the other is Spanish!

OMG! I was in heaven!
It was an Elmo themed party! I kept pointing to all the things that were Elmo, like the cups, plates and this cutout!

Elmo give a big hug!

Isaac and I even got to watch Elmo's world together!
(the parentals watched the Paquiao fight)

Here we are watching together...
notice our feet!

Rock on!

I love to play the drums!

Hi-yah!

This morning, I head-butted Mommy in the face... I did it so hard that it made her nosebleed...

I guess our Saturday family movie "Kung Fu Panda" was a little too violent for me!
