Sarina is ALL about feeding herself these days. She wants to feed herself and is getting better with utensils. She also really likes cereal for breakfast (Especially when daddy is having cereal too.) Here she is feeding herself cereal....
Last weekend the three of us went to a concert at AT&T park (the baseball park where the Giants play.) At the concert we got to see Natasha Bedingfield, the Fray and Counting Crows. More importantly we got to enjoy the great weather, listen to fun music, dance and see some friends. It was a super fun day... here's some pictures. Some video clips to come too.
Today is Sarina's first day at daycare. Mommy stayed with her for two hours this morning and Sarina had so much fun... it was sad for Sarina and Mommy to say good bye but I am told she's doing ok without me and having a ball in the outside area. "outsiiiiii " is sarina's favourite place to be - good thing we live in California!
It's not clear if Mommy or Sarina (or Daddy!) will have a harder time with the transition (I think Mommy is probably the saddest today). But we all agree she is going to love it in no time and will love having so many toys and kids to play with...
Here's a little video of us playing the "Daddy hides around the corner and sneaks around and surprised me game." I put the camera on the side table so you can see her expression waiting and then the surprise. Fun!
We bought a new car (now that we are moving to the 'burbs, we had to become a 2 car family) and bought a very logical car for a growing family - a convertible! It at least has a very usable rear seat. We also bought and installed a throne (i.e. car seat) for Sarina this weekend and have been enjoying the fabulous summer weather in the new car. Here's some pictures with the car and some pictures of Sarina on her throne sporting mommy's sunglasses.
Sarina and mommy had a really fun day together. In the morning, we met up with Auntie Cynthia and K-bao for a fun morning of playground activities. In the afternoon Mommy took Sarina to the Bay Area Discovery Museum - one of her favourite places to explore. Attached are some pictures from our trip.
We had so much fun together. My favourite moment of the day was however, when my little tofu eater tried to stuff all of the tofu I gave her for dinner into her mouth / cheeks and then tried to say "more" in her very sweet voice, but could barely talk. I couldn't stop laughing!
We came home today and discovered that Sarina has received a present in the mail from Uncle Mitul and Aunt Tanvi. They sent her a fun block sorter and she was of course excited to open up a package from the mail.
We got it open and Sarina started playing and soon figured our what to do... Here's a little video of her playing with it. You can see the joy on her face every time she gets a block to fit in the right hole. She also says some of her favorite words and you can hear them in this video: "More," "No," and "Mommy"
