It's safe to say- she likes her chair

Lately, Reiko has been wanting to sit on everything so we decided she needed a chair. Apparently, she loves it! It's so cute to watch her sit in it, get off, and sit in it again. She also likes to squeeze herself behind her chair instead of going around the easier way.

My first lumpia!

If you ever needed any proof Reiko is 1/2 Filipino, she devoured her first lumpia. She just loved it. We went to a Filipino restaurant in Milpitas called Kalesa. First time there for us, it was not bad. Ric, Deb, Byron, Amee, and Aiden joined us (it was Byron and Amee that planned it). We all had a great time. The kids especially had fun running around.

Just chillin' with my buddy Aiden

7/19/2008: Babies-R-Us opening in Sunnyvale

Reiko's first of many visits with storybook characters

7/19/2008: Reiko had fun at the Babies-R-Us opening in Sunnyvale. Her smile when she saw these bigger than life characters was priceless. Ok, I think the Stormtrooper picture was more for me than Reiko.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Reiko loves the slides. As soon as she gets to the top shes already pushing off to go down. She met some other kids at the park the other day, today not so much. She also liked the swing but the slide was her favorite.

I won't let go of my Backyardigans DVD!

Reiko loves her sweet ride, cowmooflauge! She fell asleep on the way home, probably dreaming of the Backyardigans.

Reiko in a lifesize book

Barnes and Noble included a pretty cool kids section. Reiko loved it! She played with the train table, some stuffed animals and got on stage with this lifesize mural of a storybook.

Reiko delivering ice cream

Reiko was having fun playing in the ice cream truck at the Westgate mall on Saratoga. Unfortunately she was out of chocolate ice cream.

Reiko's first trip to San Francisco

We went up to visit Seila while she was in town. We got brunch at a crepe place called Ti Couz. Reiko got herself a plain crepe which she enjoyed. It was practically bigger than her! Reiko loved aunty Seila and let her carry her all over the place.

We finished off the day by visiting the Palace of Fine Arts and the De Young museum where she ran around in the grass. It was a tiring day for everyone but Reiko enjoyed herself.

Reiko's 2nd and last day at the Little Gym

Our Little Gym experience has ended abruptly. We got there and for some reason the paying parents can only bring one parent in the room while the trial parents can both go in. Seems kinda backwards to me. Nevertheless we complained, then argued, then cancelled the rest of our classes. There is no mention of this "policy" anywhere posted or in brochures. Not to mention other Little Gyms are not like that.

She did enjoy her last class though. We learned some tumbling,she stole another baby's ball, and almost made a boy cry because she was about to take his ball out of his hands. All in all a good day. =)

4th of July fun at the park - thirsty!

Fourth of July at the park

Reiko was tired at the park because she didn't get her nap. She wasn't too much in the mood but she wasn't fussy either. She's great like that. I know we are lucky she is the way she is, an easy going temperment.

After a quick power nap she got her second wind and we went for lunch to Red Robin with her buddies CJ and Aiden. A fun afternoon, but more to come. Tonight is a party @ aunty nhung and uncle kyle's house with the two BIG dogs.
