Tristin and Isabella: Out and About

This weekend, we had absolutely beautiful weather. And when I say absolutely beautiful, I mean it in the most relative sense since in the Bay area, for the most part, the weather is always pretty wonderful. This weekend was particularly special because in addition to the usual blue skies and clean, crisp air, we had loads of warm beaming sunshine. So warm, C, T and I all had shorts and t-shirts on. Tristie doesn't have many short-sleeved shirts or shorts since its usually somewhat windy and chilly where we are (since our place is perched right on the water) so I scoured through his closet for the one short-sleeve-shorts he had and it turned out to be a onesie that my colleague at work in Singapore had given to us that had yet to be worn. It has a special message (to be revealed in the pictures below).

Not sure if I mentioned this in my last entry but Tristie, these days, is recuperating from a cold. He's doing much better and is starting to get back to his usual self. As I may have stated in my last entry (don't remember what I said or didn't say) but he's now grabbing both feet all the time and likes to pound his hand on the table or on his waist or on whatever he can pound on. Paranoid mommy that I am, I initially thought that his flailing arm was a sign that something was wrong with him. I freaked out for about 5 minutes wondering why he was making that motion only to be later told that it was a normal development. Hopefully so.

In my last entry, I may have misled T-blog readers to believe that our little pumpkin enjoys reading. Well, he's actually quite uninterested and usually looks everywhere but the book. In fact, the moment we open a book up and try to flip to the next page, he tries to close it. I would like to believe he has no control over his arm and its just him making funky, "uncontrollable" motions but some times I wonder if this is wishful thinking and the "coincidence" is an indication of what's to come intellectually. Oh well, as long as he's happy and healthy :-) . He's still making inroads into the world of solids. We stopped for a week because he developed a rash after eating sweet potato but just today, we started him back & he had his first serving of mushed carrots. Can I get a "yuuuum yum'"?

Hopefully, the good warm weather will continue and we'll be able to get some more fun shots of T outside, exploring the world beyond home.
