a weekly log of our everyday life
Baby R was due around this time last year! Oh, how our lives have changed!! Exactly this time last year, we went on our final “spur-of-the-moment late-night movie showing”. Now, when we want to watch a movie in a theater, we have to plan in advance so we have a babysitter for Baby R! We […]

We shared last week how we’ve been feeling a little spread thin recently, Jake especially. So Cindy decided to spend the weekend with her parents- giving Jake some much-needed undistracted, undisturbed time to focus on his work. Working from home has its perks, but one of the downsides is that it is very hard to […]

Jake attended his first in-person conference (since the pandemic shutdowns) this past weekend! In February of 2020, we bought new dress shirts, ties, and pants for Jake in anticipation of all the conferences he would be attending starting that year. Finally, after two years, Jake was able to wear his “new” clothes! We were both […]

The big highlight of our week was hiking with our friends who also have a baby around the same age as Baby R. It’s been so fun hanging out and watching our babies hang out (or more like watching our babies treat the other like a new toy). It’s just so much easier making plans […]

About a year ago, Jake spent about $100 and bought a cherry tree to raise some caterpillars with the hopes that they would turn into cecropia moths. (Read more about that here!) For weeks, he collected leaves to feed his baby caterpillars. It was so exciting to see the teeny tiny caterpillars grow bigger and […]

For the most part, not too much happened this past week. Our routine these days revolves around Baby R’s three wake windows. After Cindy leaves for work in the morning, Jake usually plays with Baby R until our childcare arrives (which is either our part-time nanny or our parents, depending on the day). Cindy usually […]

Cindy got pulled into Pokémon Go again… and bought tickets for the Pokémon Go Johto Tour Event which was this past Saturday. She initially bought tickets mostly to hang out with her friend, which she hadn’t done in a while. And as Saturday approached, she started to dread being away from Baby R for a […]

(Picture is unrelated to the Olympics. We went to the Super Bowl Experience event at the LA Convention Center. We don’t know anything about the Super Bowl, so it was a bit random. We went mainly to hang out with our friends. We felt totally out of our element, but it was a new experience […]

So many changes have been happening with Baby R, we can barely keep up! Turns out, the reason why Baby R was the fussiest and clingiest she’d ever been during Christmas time was because she was teething!!! We’re pretty sure that’s the reason since shortly after two little bottom teeth popped out. Aside from the […]
