My First...NBA Game - Clippers/Mavs

I went to my first NBA game today.  The Clippers were playing the Mavs @ the Staples Center. Just like @ the Angels/A's game, I loved looking at all of the lights and people around me.  Everyone was cheering and clapping and yelling.  I got tired towards the end, so we left early during the 4th quarter.  I watched with mommy, daddy, Auntie Cathy and Uncle Dana. Thank you auntie and uncle for my Clippers onesies.  

My First...Solids!

CELEBRATE! I started solids today! After a couple of months of being more than ready to start, I was finally given the okay to have my yum yums. :) I had another round of allergy tests earlier in the week and they came back negative. Yay! So now, my doctors (allergist & ped) all feel that I can start to experiment with solids. Today, I started on rice cereal and had a teaspoon's worth (mixed with milk, this came out to about 8 spoonfulls).  

Mommy & daddy were so surprised at how excited I got to eat.  As soon as I saw the spoon coming towards me, I opened my mouth wide and was eager to taste the yum yums. After reaching for the spoon several times, I was glad that mommy & daddy finally handed it to me. I knew exactly what to do with it. When do I get to try chocolate cake? 

Happy 1st Bday Mia!

Today, I celebrated Mia's 1st Bday at My Gym.  Mommy & I met Mia and her mommy, Stephanie, @ St. Joseph's mommy & me class.  We  used to go every Tuesday when mommy was on maternity leave.  Happy Birthday Mia! Thanks for inviting me to spend this special day with you...I had so much fun!

My First...Baseball Game - Angels/A's.

Ninong Kenji and Auntie Jenn took me to my first baseball game today.  The A's were playing the Angels in Anaheim.  Ninong and Auntie were visiting Ninong's family in So.Cal and they stopped by to visit me, mommy & daddy.  I was so amazed when I got to the stadium.  There were so many lights and people and everyone was cheering and yelling and having so much fun.  I loved looking at the big screen and watching everyone around me.  I ended up falling asleep in mommy's arms around 9pm and stayed asleep until we got home.  Thanks for taking me to my first game Ninong & Auntie! I had a lot of fun! :) 

This is what I saw today

Long Beach Aquarium

We went to the Long Beach Aquarium today with Auntie Belinda, Uncle Alex, Kuya Braxton and Ate Avery.  I had a lot of fun looking at all of the fishes, baby sharks and other sea creatures and hanging out with the Yra's. Hope to see them again soon!

Don't worry Uncle Alex. The baby shark won't bite you.

Go Runners Go!

I went to check out the LA Marathon today.  I cheered on Auntie's Christina, Lizzi, Maha and Trish! They all work with mommy @ Unum and Auntie Chris went to USF with mommy & daddy.  She also ran with mommy & daddy in their 1st marathon @ SF.  We waited for them just before mile 22 on San Vicente in Brentwood/Santa Monica. There were so many people - runners & spectators. I had fun cheering with mommy & daddy for people running by. A lot of them had their names on their race bibs so we got to shout things like "Way to go Melissa!" or "Looking good Josh!"  or "Keep it up Samantha" or "You're almost there Sean!"  

I can't believe so many people would want to run 26.2 miles for fun! ;) Do you gusy think I'll be a runner too?

Looking good Auntie Chris & Auntie Maha!  It was Auntie Chris' 6th marathon and Auntie Maha's 1st!

 Auntie Trish & Auntie Lizzi! It was both of their 1st full marathons! Auntie Lizzi ran a half last year!

My First...Swing Ride!

I went on my first swing ride @ the park today. I'm still too little to swing by myself, but mommy cushioned me really well with a thick blanket and kept me safe by holding me the whole time. I can't wait to do it all by myself.
