Welcome Home

Tonight, Yoshi was drinking his milk when Nori came back. But as soon as he saw Nori, everything stopped, including his favorite milk, because his favorite person was right next to him.

Weekend

Got some mulch for the yard-Nori's Saturday project
These 2 pics of "inside window viewing" were taken by Uncle Henry
Sunday- we met up with my friends to see the "Bodies" exhibition. It's very interesting. If u ever get a chance, check it out. http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/intro.html
Check out Yoshi's latest strolling position- looks like roller coaster ride.

Quadruplets

Can't imagine if this is REAL!!!
= 4x the diaper change
= 4x the cry and laugh
= 4x my backache

Early morning

This morning, we had to leave the house at 7:45a.m. (the last time we ever woke up so early was to the airport leaving to HK) I have signed up the P&G research panel (Procter & Gamble's headquarter is here in Cincinnati) (Susannah- THX for the info). They have a special facility for research purpose (check out the cute froggy at the building entrance. Christa, u would love it) There are focus groups, one on one interview.....and the one we went today was kind of like trying different diaper products, and fitness measurement/research. However, after the first round of measuring, they decided that Yoshi would not be needed for the 2nd round studies, so we are allowed to leave early after trying few more diaper products. Every week, there are all different studies going on, so I"m sure we will be back often. (3 reasons why I'm interest in doing this: a-it's kind of fun for me and Yoshi to go out; b-I graduate w/marketing, so it's kind of my field; c-it's a way to earn extra income for Yoshi's new summer wardrobe expense ^_^)

After the P&G visit, of course we got to stop by Babies R Us for Yoshi (he woke up so early for a good reason) Here is the familiar mirror outside the store. (it was 2 months ago from the last mirror pic, Yoshi does look a bit older.....) (Oh Junko-san, check out the diaper bag I'm carrying...arigato)
Yup, Yoshi can hold on to the coffee table and stand up on his own. And no longer hit his head on the wood either. (Kay- check out the outfit u gave him, finally well fitted. Thx) And what else he can do?? yes, opening the cabinet door and being curious.

Lunch time visit

Weather was nice yesterday (& today), so I took Yoshi to spend lunch time with Nori. We sat outside his office, enjoying the sun. He was very excited to see otoosan (daddy).
Thanks Lynn, for offering to take this family pic. Oh, I was just wondering what's Yoshi wearing yesterday....wait...good that I got an under layer shirt for Yoshi, otherwise, he would have been naked on this pic. ^_^

It's contagious

Wardrobe change

These are the clothes that no longer fit Yoshi since he was born. Babies grow so fast.

Tiptoe (but not for ballet)

Yoshi: "Oh, I hear some noise...machine noise".........(crawl crawl crawl...towards the window)

Yoshi: "Oh I see...it's our neighbour cutting his grass too" .... (his whole body was tired from stretching all the way up to the window.....)

Book

Yoshi loves to explore the bookshelf in his room. There is this particular small hardcover book that he seems to be very interested- "Bob the Builder". Maybe it was so small that he finds it easy to grab onto.

Happy birthday to Zoe & Sedona

Saturday, we attended Zoe & Sedona's birthday parties. Their birthday party theme this year was "Chinese party", so of course we got to be there...^_^ Yoshi love to hang around with the girls, they are great sisters to him. Happy Birthday girls!!
(And just a side note for those who thought they knew Tonya well....not yet, till u see her eating Chinese food, u will be amazed for her adventure....^_^)
Hello birthday girls......
Here was Mr. Curious. (Thx Tonya for letting him adventure your video collections)
Ladies, please excuse little Yoshi, he was so cranky at the end because he was really tired. (he fell asleep within 5 mins after I started driving)

Spring blossoms

Every April, the trees in our area blossom with beautiful flowers, almost like a white color version of cherry blossoms. Last year, I was 9 months pregnant, and now, little Yoshi is here with us.

Hello George

Last Friday, Yoshi finally got to visit someone that is younger than him- George, 4 months old. (He's my friend- Katie's son) Seeing him, reminded me of Yoshi when he was at that age, couldn't crawl/ walk yet, just lay around, watching other kids playing. That's probably what Geroge was thinking.

Hello Lilliana & Isabella

Today Yoshi had a play time with his friends from Gymboree playgroup- Lilliana (pink shoes-5 days younger than Yoshi) & Isabella (red stripe shirt- 3 days older than Yoshi). It was fun to spend some time for baby talk. Both the girls can start walking few steps, boys for sure are slow learner......^_^ they will see each other again tomorrow at the playgroup.

There are lines for window viewing.
Busy babies

Why was Yoshi checking his stock market in the backyard?
Why was his Aligator friend sitting far back, was he having a sun bath?
Why were there other strange looking "wacky" friends also? And who are they??
Why....What.....Where.....When....Who.......Which.......??!!
Answers will be revealed in a much later time............(don't expect answers for at least few wks..)
In the meantime, Mama got to sleep, it's another late night again....Zzzzzzz.....................

Happy Birthday Uncle Henry

Yoshi: "Happy Birthday Uncle Henry!!" Thanks for coming to visit me with Christa yesterday."

Mama:" I know u don't like to be viewed in blog, so I kept the pic in low resolution...^_^"

Bath time fun

Nori's friend gave us this floating seat, since there is no beach around here, so Yoshi can only play with it in the tub for right now. He seemed to have lots of fun, even though he just took a small sip of the water earlier....

Backyard

What's Yoshi looking at?
Oh, he was making sure Nori was working hard on grass cutting
And now, what're both of them looking at?
Oh, they were admiring the good looking yard after Nori spent 4 hrs out there. Good job.
