I know, I know, I am behind on my updates. Sorry - but I have been so busy (plus I got sick for the first time in my life - I didn not like it at all!)
I finally had the time to update my site. Please read below for my November and December 2008 adventure:
November 7 – 10: My parents and I spent the weekend in San Francisco. It was very special because it was all of our first time in the city. We stayed at a really nice hotel called the Marriott. It was right next to the ocean. We arrived at SF on Friday evening. My dad drove the whole way there while I slept most of the time. We made a few stops so that my mom can feed and change me. The first place we visited was Fisherman’s Wharf. We spent most of our time there on Saturday. My parents ate clam chowder at the infamous Boudin restaurant and they did a little bit of shopping. I was in my stroller the whole time ‘coz it was sprinkling and cold. My parents used the rain shield on my stroller and bundled me up really well so that I could stay warm and comfy. In the evening, we met up with my lolo Norman (my lola Mercy’s husband). He lives in SF and he volunteered to take my parents out to dinner. They ate at a fancy Filipino restaurant. My parents were very pleased with their meal. The next day, Sunday, we went sightseeing. We visited the Golden Gate bridge, my mom kept calling it the Golden State bridge, Full House, Alamo Square Park (across from full house), Lombard crooked street, Chinatown and the Ghirardelli chocolate store. It was a very busy and long Sunday for us. We left SF early on Monday morning. It took us a long time to get home because we got lost.
November 24: Today was my 4 month wellness check up. I weighed in at 16 lbs 13 oz. According to my Doctor, I am doing very well.
November 26: My mommy went back to work today. It was a very sad day for her because she was away from me for a very long time. I spent most of my day at my lolo and lola’s house. My parents dropped me off at 5:30 am and picked me up at 6:30 pm. It was weird not being with my mom. I’m used to having her around all day long. I definitely missed her. She called my lola a couple of times throughout the day though to check up on me.
November 27: My parents were off from work because it is Thanksgivig day!!! We went to my dad’s side of the family first. They had lunch there while I played with my cousins. In the evening, we went to my mom’s side of the family. We had dinner at my lolo & lola’s house. Yes, I had dinner too. My lola fed me cereal and she let me suck on a piece of persimmon. I was very satisfied. Yummy in my tummy. We spent the night there because my parents had to go to work very early the next day.
December 9: My mom did not go to work today because she doesn’t feel good. She has the stomach flu.
December 10: My mom stayed home again today because she was still not feeling well. My dad went to work while my mom and I spent our day at my lola’s house. Lola helped my mom take care of me.
December 24: Christmas Eve!!! We went to Fontana in the evening for a family Christmas party. I met most of my mom’s side of the family for the first time today. My mom dressed me up in a nice polo shirt with a blazer and jeans. My auntie Lynne said I looked very cute. Several family members were amazed at how white (light skinned) and big I am. Santa came to visit and brought all of the little kids’ gifts. Each kid got a chance to sit on Santa’s lap and take a picture with him. The adults played the white elephant game. I tried to sleep but I couldn’t because they were so loud. I was very tired at the end of the night. My parents were so happy at all of the gifts I received from family members.
December 25: Similar to Thanksgiving, we spent the afternoon at my dad’s side of the family first. I got more gifts from family members and friends. My parents ate and I played a little bit with my cousins. In the evening, we went to my lolo and lola’s house. We opened all of our gifts there. I was the first one to open my gifts. There were so many to choose from. My mom was more excited in opening my gifts than I was. I just wanted to put the wrapping paper in my mouth. It was a lot of fun. I am very blessed and thankful to have such a great family. We spent the night again at my lolo’s house because my Dad had to work early the next day.
December 28: I got sick today. My mom was very upset because I had never been sick before. My nose is stuffy and I have a temperature of 102. I just want to sleep and be held by my mommy.
December 29 – Jan 2: I was sick the whole time. We spent the whole week at my lolo and lola’s house because my mom needed my lola to help take care of me. My mom didn’t get a lot of sleep because she had to monitor my temperature. We spent the New Year at home. Since I was sick, we couldn’t really celebrate. I ended up getting my lola sick because I sneezed on her. She said it was okay because she loves me. I had to go to the Doctor 2 times during the week. My parents wanted to make sure that I get checked.
What a LONG but EXCITING two months. Talk to you next time...TSUP!
Love,
Aiden Jeremiah
