OMG What a find!

I just won the cutest ring on an auction site. As some of you may know, I am apple-obessed because it's been my nickname since 3rd grade (story to follow). I get a tinkling feeling whenever I see anything apple. But just check out this ring!!! Isn't it just adorable????? And it only costs me $16.50. :O It's so one of a kind! It'd be fun to have a pear or an orange to go with it. ;)

Oh Poor Baby

I was sick last week. Got the flu and had to stay home on Wednesday and Thursday. Got better after resting for two days. Unfortunately I had passed it onto both Gary and Casey. Poor baby (obviously talking about Casey) is now coughing and having a running nose. Luckily she's not extra whiny when she's sick. I hope she gets better soon. I feel so bad whenever she coughs. :'(

Casey meeting her Auntie

My best friend from Hong Kong has come to visit last week. Although she's only stayed for a day, we had a great time catching up and eating dim sum. ;) Too bad Casey was not behaving like a world-class-good-baby the whole time, I hope it didn't give my friend the impression that she was a whiny baby. :p

Casey now has two teeth. Both on the right. It's funny how they are off to one side.

8 months already?

Casey is turning 8 months tomorrow. She is one chubby baby, hence one of her nicknames is Michelin Man. LOL Surprisingly, she has only gained half a pound in the past two months. It's very strange. Other than that, she's one happy healthy chubby baby. She's now learned to blow a big bubble with her saliva. It's so funny

Second Tooth

Woohoo, another one has cut through. Upper right this time. So only the right side has teeth. :D It's exciting to see her little tiny teeth, but she does get cranky and whiny. I wonder if she'd stop whining once she has all her teeth. Ha ha. Wishful thinking, I know.

Baby first tooth

Can you see which one?

It's the bottom right (in the front).

Exercise...

...is something all of us should do, but have millions of excuses not to. I was in very good shape a couple years ago when I did the lift guarding training. I could swim 60 laps non-stop. Now? I probably couldn't do 6 laps.

As lucky as any new mom could be, I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight. But that doesn't mean my body is in tip top shape. I have started using a toning ball and following a routine. Only need to do the set 3 times on Mon/Wed/Fri and rest in between. Then on Sunday, just do a walk or something light. Today is only my second day, but I know "something" is happening and working as my muscles are sore. Hopefully I can see results soon!
