Pregnancy Test

I did a pregnancy test on 12/14 but it was negative. After we shopped at Burlington Coat Factory (we were looking for snow pants, snow boots, beanies, and gloves for Ethan and Wyatt), I wanted to stop by 99 Cents Store and pick up another pregnancy test. I was about to buy two since I didn't think it would be positive. I took the test right away after I got home. Eric was asking me, "What does two lines mean?".

Buns

I saw many recipes online and wanted to try and make them. I have made 5 different kinds so far ( buns with taro fillings 芋泥饅頭, plain buns 饅頭, buns with meat fillings 包子, buns with green onions 蔥花包, buns with two colors 巧克力饅頭).

My first one was buns with taro fillings 芋泥饅頭. They weren't as soft as I expected but still tasted good. Yesterday, I made buns with meat fillings 包子 and they did came out soft. Today, I made buns with meat fillings 包子, buns with green onions 蔥花包, and buns with two colors 巧克力饅頭.

9th Tooth

Wyatt's 9th tooth finally came out (uppper left).

Pizza and Alfredo Sauce

I made pizza dough on Tuesday. Eric found "cpk" pizza dough recipe online. I made Hawaiian pizza. It tasted pretty good, but a little bit too yeasty. The dough was soft. Next time I'll try to put sugar.

Eric even bought a cast iron pizza pan. We wanted to make pizza because Eric likes the pizza we ate at Grace's birthday party which was held at CPK. He said the pizza dough was soft and sweet. Ethan and Wyatt finished a personal pizza.

Last night, I made alfredo sauce I found online using cream cheese. We have tons of cream cheese left, so I tried making it. I used rotini pasta. I made the sauce first, then cooked the chicken, added vegetables, and then finally put sauce back into the pot.

You can find pizza dough and alfredo sauce recipes on my website.

Sea World

We bought Sea World annual memberships again. The deal was buy 1 year get 1 year free. This was the first time for Wyatt. I took Ethan to ride on Abby's Sea Star Spin. It was our first time on this ride. I also took him on Elmo's Flying Fish ride. This was my first time on this ride.

First Pumpkin Patch

After brunch at Viejas, we took Ethan and Wyatt to Oma's Pumpkin Patch. This is our first pumpkin patch. There is an entrance fee of $7 per child 1 year and older. Each child receives a water bottle, Jack Patch Pumpkin and participation in all the activities. One adult per paying child plays free.

Ethan went through hay bale maze, petting corral, "milking cow", played with toy trucks and tractors, slide, and hayride. We saw cows, bulls, and calves. They are quite stinky though.

This is the first time Wyatt wore shoes outside. He wasn't used to them, but he walked ok. When he touched the sand and hay, he looked at his hands and didn't want to touch them.

Ethan wanted to play longer, but we had to shop at Costco before it closed.

15 Months Check Up

Wyatt had his 15 months check up today. He got 2 shots on the right thigh and a prick on the left big toe (to check his iron level). He only cried for a few seconds (what a brave boy!).

Training Wyatt

Ethan wasn't a good sleeper when he was a baby/toddler. Wyatt doesn't sleep well too. He wakes up every 2-3 hrs to breast feed like Ethan. So, last Friday, Oct. 8, Wyatt slept with daddy. He went to sleep around 12 or so, and cried at 2 something, 4 something, 6 something, and then 7 something. We finally let him drink at 7.

The next night, he did a little better. He slept around 11:30, cried around 3 something, 6 something. I went to get him and breast feed him around 6 something.

Last night, he slept with me. I had a hard time making him sleep without the boobs. He kept climbing on me and come to me. I tried to give him a bottle and a pacifier, but he didn't want them. So, I told daddy to put him to sleep. It only took daddy few minutes to put him to sleep cuz he's very tired and sleepy already. He slept around 12 something, cried 2 times, and I fed him around 6 or 7.

2nd Child Speaks Earlier

Wyatt definitely talks earlier and more than Ethan. On Friday morning (10/1) as he woke up, he pointed to my nose and said "nose". Now he can say dada, mama, ma, jiu-jiu = uncle, jiao jiao/foot, choo choo, ge-ge= big brother, gou gou = dog, go go go, good, wo wo = Word World, bad boy, bao bao, nana = banana, ga = car, push, door, turtle, duck, ball, balloon, hao = ok, nene = breast milk, boobs, book.

Roseola

I think Wyatt has roseola. Wyatt had a fever from Thursday to Sunday (9/23 - 9/26). On Friday night - Saturday morning, his fever was pretty high around 103.8. He started to show red spots on his face and body on Monday, 9/27. Today, red spots on his face is almost gone but he still has spots on his body and legs. He feels fine but he still doesn't have appetite.

Preschool

Ethan had a free day at a preschool. When we told him he's going to preschool, he talked about it everyday. He had fun and he liked it. We are waiting for an opening so that he can go there. I packed grapes, almond and jelly bread, ham and cheese sandwich for him. I also gave him juice. His daddy took him to school and waited downstair at Starbucks just in case Ethan needed him.

I went to Ross at Mission Valley to look for a lunch bag/box but they didn't have it. Then, I went to Jamba Juice to get smoothie (bogo!). After that I bought lunch from Jack in the Box. Then, I went to see how Ethan was doing. When I got there, Eric was about to pick Ethan up. After that Eric took Ethan to grandma's house and I took Wyatt home.

After Wyatt had a nap and had his dinner, I took him to Toys R US and Ross to look for lunch bag/box. I bought a Scoopy lunch bag for Ethan from Toys R US. They didn't have much selections left. I also bought playdoh sets for Ethan (buy 2 get 3rd free).

8th Tooth

I don't know when Wyatt's 8th tooth came out. I saw it around the week of 8/23 (upper right).

Walking Around

Wyatt starting to walk around in the house. He walks like a drunk.

Fever

Wyatt had a fever for three days...poor baby. He's fine now, but has little red dots all over his body. (side effects of measles vaccine).
