Baby's Firsts...

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while since our last blog entry -- it has been quite the busy time for us! In the past month, Baby has had quite a few firsts!!

Back on March 29th, we went out to dinner for Uncle Erik's birthday. It was Baby's first time eating at a Michelin Star restaurant! (Not to mention his parent's time eating at a Michelin Star restaurant!) We went to Bushi Tei in Japantown, which is French-California fusion cuisine. And...it was REALLLLY yummy!! Hopefully baby will get to go there again some time.

Frequent flier miles!!
Although Baby isn't near the experienced traveler that his cousin, Hui-Hui, is but this past Tuesday, Baby boarded his FIRST airplane flight with mommy. To the lovely town of Austin, TX for a Wells Fargo leadership conference. I was a bit paranoid about it and in EVERY pocket of EVERY bag that came with me on the trip, there was a "pregnant traveler's emergency contact sheet"!!! It had information on there of who to contact, what my health insurance was, who my primary care physician was, my due date, etc. You never know!!! Baby was a good sport - he stayed active, so I could do my kick counts, but not so active that I couldn't nap on the plane :) He'll be finishing the second half of his trip back home on Friday.

THUNDERSTORM!!!
Here in Austin, there was quite a bit thunderstorm!!! As I'm writing this, there's TONS of lightening happening outside. Strangely, I hear no thunder, so I'm not too worried about it being too close (since we are staying right on Lake Travis) and hitting th hotel or something!

TAIKO PERFORMANCE!!
This coming weekend, Baby will be in his first taiko performance at the Morgan Hill Taiko Festival. He's getting a little too big for mommy to reach the drum, so this will be it for me until he's born!

What an exciting time :) I am sure we will have many more "firsts" once the baby is born -- but thought these were some great milestones to share!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Daddy's setting a good example!!!

Contrary to popular belief, I eat vegetables.

As the following photos show, my baby will always know it. :)
