Legoland

We took Ethan to Legoland on Memorial Day.  We thought not many people would be there but there were more people than last time.  

Ethan went on choo choo train "Legoland Express" twice (once with daddy and second with mommy).  Ethan played in the "Playtown" for awhile and he wanted to play with water.  We changed his pants to shorts and he only went into the water for few seconds and he didn't want to be in there anymore.  

After we changed his diaper, daddy took Ethan to "Sky Patrol".  We got 2 refills of drink and tried granny fried apples.  Granny fried apples didn't taste good.  On the way back to the entrance, we went on "Fairy Tale Brook" and "Safari Trek".  

Baby Shower

Kaichi and Jason hosted a baby shower for Yumi and me.  Yumi invited 2 friends and I invited Carol and Romalyn.  Carol came with Grace and Romalyn came with Steven.  Weiping and her family were there too.  

Yumi baked 2 cakes and I made mango pudding and watermelon baby stroller.  Weiping made bao zi.  Kaichi made rest of the food.  She even made chocolate in the sticks.  

We played 3 games.  First one was guess baby food, second was see whose baby in the ice cube comes out first, the last one was pick a card to see whose baby has stinky diaper.  Yumi and Masa won the first game, I won the second (I got cow soap as price), and Weiping's mother in law won the 3rd.  Yumi put 2 plastic babies in the cake and both Eric and I got them.  We got water guns as price.  I was sitting with Romalyn and Steven when I ate the cake.  When I found the baby, I said, "I have the baby!"  They said, "You just noticed now that you are having a baby?" hehe

Mommy's Bday

We went to Barona for free buffet for two plus $10 free play.  Ethan heard people sang Happy Birthday 2 or 3 times and he said "to you".  

Mommy's Bday Present

Daddy got mommy a 15" Mac Book and a 4 GB of memory card for Lumix digital camera. :)

New Words

He has been saying "cold", "bing bing" = cold, "eat", "stinky" for awhile now. When he wants to watch tv, he says "t t".

Ethan likes to drink soup like his mommy. He'll say "soup".

Before getting out of car, he'll say "shoe".

He tries to sing "The Wheel on the Bus" but he can only do "round". When you sing "all through" and then he'll say "down" = town.

Legoland

Our annual memberships for Seaworld have expired, so we wanted to try Legoland. We got to Legoland around 11.

Our first stop was Coast Cruise. We thought Ethan could get on rides that require at least 36" but he is not quite there yet. He's about 35" I guess. Second ride was Lost Kingdom Adventure. Then, we had lunch atKnight's Table Barbeque. After that Ethan and daddy went on Flight Squadron. Then we went on Fairy Tale Brook. It was very relaxing, the cool breeze and the music made us want to take a nap. Our last ride was Safari Trek.

Ethan did fine with the rides today. Usually he'll be scare like the Flying Fish Elmo ride at Seaworld.

Choo Choo

I met up with Kaichi and Yu-Hsien today at UTC. There's a small kids play area and Ethan usually just played with the car. There are two cars but one is without a steering wheel. Today, after he played with the car, he saw train so he walked over there and stared at those kids who were on the train already. He waited and waited cuz he wanted to ride on it. I kept telling him that daddy will take him to play choo choo tomorrow cuz we are planning on going to Legoland. I put him in the stroller and he started to whine. Then, Kaichi and Yu-Hsien pushed strollers toward us and Yu-Hsien said she has tickets for the train. She took Sophie, Alice, and Ethan to ride the train. I couldn't believe Ethan sat on the choo choo train by himself today (I meant without mommy or daddy by his side). When the ride was over, Ethan didn't want to budge.

We had lunch at Miami Grille. Kaichi and I both had Cubano sandwich with mixed fries (seasoned fries and sweet potatoe fries). Donna had Miami Grilled Katsu Chicken Salad. Yu-Hsien had Key West Chopp. We also ordered 2 kid's meal so 4 kids can share. We ordered Breaded Chicken Tenderloins with fries and strawberry smoothie and Grilled Teriyaki Chicken with rice and peach smoothie.

Words

Lately, Ethan likes to say "dude", "cool", and "duck". When he sees birds, he'll refer them as "duck". When he's in the car, he'll look out for balloons. When you drive fast or others drive fast, he'll say "zoom, zoom, zoom".

Learning Curve Take Along Thomas & Friends - Morgan's Mine Set

After we had dinner, mommy said Ethan can play trains at Barnes & Noble. The first time we walked in there were kids playing with them already. So, we went to Wal-Mart instead. Ethan was crying cuz he wanted to play. Since mommy said Ethan get to play with trains, we went into Barnes & Noble again. Three brothers were there playing. The father told the oldest son to share two trains with Ethan. Ethan wanted the trains with faces so he wasn't happy he didn't get them. So, daddy said lets go. Of course, Ethan cried again. So, we told Ethan we will buy him his own trains to play with.

We went to Target and daddy bought Ethan "Learning Curve Take Along Thomas & Friends - Morgain's Mine Set". It was $39.99 plus tax. Too bad Ethan's birthday is in July or else it would be Ethan's birthday present. hehe

Ethan was impatient and wanted to play with it right away. He was whining on the way home. When we got home, daddy and mommy put the set together. Ethan was happy and played with it until he went to sleep.

4D Ultrasound Take Two

(smiled)

(opened mouth)

After my appointment with my OBGYN, we went to get some lunch. Then, we redo 4D ultrasound. This time we definitely see baby's face :) He opened his mouth, eyes (I couldn't tell), and smiled.

Lake Murray

Today we met up with Kaichi and Alice at Barnes & Noble for story time. Of course, Ethan didn't want to sit and listen to the story, so he went to play with trains again. He played about 22 minutes and then we went to Lake Murray.

Kaichi brought rice, egg, beef with onion, and mac & cheese. Ethan used to like McNuggets but now he likes mac & cheese more.

Kaichi brought bread to feed squirrels, ducks, and birds (mainly seagulls). Ethan held Alice's hand again and walked toward the lake hehe.

Lap Desk

Daddy bought me The Ergonomic Lap Desk from Costco. I like to use my lap top on the bed, so the lap desk is very handy. Months ago daddy bought me a bed rest pillow and The Car Buddy Pillow for Ethan.

Grossmont Center

Today we met up with Kaichi and Alice at Barnes & Noble. Ethan played with the trains for at least 15 minutes. After that we tried to find something to eat. First, we went to Panera Bread but they didn't have anything that Ethan would want to eat. Second, we went to Panda Express. The food looked too dry so we left. Lastly, we went to food court and got 2 items combo at this Chinese fast food place. I got 1/2 fried rice, 1/2 stir fried noodle, Mandarin chicken and chicken with string bean. I also got a large root beer.

Alice and Ethan didn't eat too much. They held hands and sang...so cute!

4D Ultrasound

This morning at 9:30 we did 4D ultrasound. During the entire session, baby was sleeping and had his arm up right next to his cheek or ear. All we could see is his cheek, ear, arms, hands, fingers, feet, toes, his private part, and heard his heart beat. No matter what we did he wouldn't turn or move. Tammy (the person who did the ultrasound) had me turn to my sides or walked around but baby didn't want to move at all. She said baby is about 3 lbs and 1 oz. We were there about 20 minutes. Since we couldn't see baby's face, we have the option to redo it for $29 within 2 weeks. So, I scheduled for this coming Thursday. Hopefully we'll get to see his little face.

Oh yeah, while we were in the room, Ethan was having diarrhea (we could hear it).

Bonita Cove

Today we went to Bonita Cove with Kaichi, Jason, Alice, Yumi, Masa, Tiger, Yu-Hsian, her husband, Sophie, Chia-Hui, her husband, Hsiao-Yu, Donna, her husband, and Daniel.

Jason picked up chicken, salad, rice, and two flavors of Thai sauce (peanut and sweet spicy). I brought Hawaiian sweet rolls with butter and cheese and almond pudding with cocktail fruit.

Masa bought roses for all the mommies!

More Diarrhea

Ethan still has diarrhea...poor baby. Besides diarrhea, he is still active and playful.

16th Tooth

Lower right cuspid broke out sometime in April.

Diarrhea

Ethan has diarrhea today. I have changed his diapers 6 times already and Eric changed 1 time.

I guess both Ethan and Eric have stomach flu or something (both diarrhea like crazy today). May be it's the food from Coco's. We went to Coco's last night for dinner.

Alice's House

Today, we went over to Kaichi's house again. Yu-Hsian, Sophie, Chia-Hui, and Shiao-Yu were there too.

After Ethan and Alice ate, they went to Alice's room. When they came out from the room, they were holding hands...how cute is that hehe. Then, Ethan held Alice's hand again to take her back to the room hehe.

JC Penney Portrait Studio

We took family photos at JC Penney again. This time I just ordered the $7.99 package since I want to order the cd later. I can just print pictures out myself.
