Our nanny went to China for a month, & my sister came to watch baby for 3 1/2 weeks.
She stayed home every day of those 3 1/2 weeks. I told her that it would drive me crazy.
She sent me 20-30 pictures of the baby every day at work. I miss this.
They had good times together. R learned to say "Ahmoh" (eemoh).
Thank you Ahmoh! R loves you. She still calls for you in "your room."

in the 4 months preceding this one..
...I was there to get that family photo 
getting free tickets for 'non-profit-days' was just the icing on the cake
Dancing or posing?
You better believe she threw a fit...
...when we dragged her away from the rays
Wishing she didn't have to leave
she's goes ga-ga and starts 
the other day I decided to be nice and let her eat it all by herself...
this was the response...
Here's the little rascal playing "dress up". She saw me trying on my new clothes ($5 a piece from Miss Me sample sale!), and started copying me...
At Korean Sabbath School...
It grosses me out when she sticks keys in her mouth...
Daily walk & picking fall leaves with Alice...
The 'helmet head/Elvis presley' hair style has got to go...I must schedule a hair cut at Little Kuts asap.
Other than that, here's a quick update for me:
I read a recent article in Time magazine, that talked about just this.
It was fascinating. Click here to read the article: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2020815,00.html
So far, so good. I'm less nauseated than the first time, just exhausted all the time. Baby's due in April, so R and baby #2 will be 22 months apart. If it's a boy, Joey already has a name picked out...=)
"Is she walking?" is the most popular question lately. Just started, thank you very much. 9/14, to be exact. I've made a habit of counting the number of steps she takes....and she went up to T-W-E-L-V-E. I was so proud! Although, crawling is still more efficient for her:).
" And what does she say?" Here are a few: Wow. Me, me. Mommy. Mamma. Papeyah and papaysoh ("precious" "clapping" in Mandarin). Sheh sheh (Thank you). Umma & appah. Mung mung. And today-- ABC! 
I wish I could take her swimming again. This was back in Portland, at my mom's condo. 
I had her in the water for 3 hours and she absolutely loved it. My friend Paula & her 1-year-old Aveary joined us. Aveary showed off a thing or two--this 1-year old can blow bubbles under water, kick, and jump into the pool. It was like watching a science experiment!
Lately, I've been going a little batty. For about a week now, Rebecca's been inconsolable @ night for 1-2 hours, flailing, screaming, and nothing will work. I'm so exhausted by it. I tried giving her milk (which usually ALWAYS works), checking the temp, taking her outside, rocking/bouncing her, pushing out the gas....and nothing. Our nanny thinks it she is spooked/scared. Others have said it was gas, others teething. I'm not convinced, bc it's still going on and nothing seems to comfort her. Parents--any ideas??? I desperately need to get some sleep again...
My favorite thing that she's doing lately? Comes over to me, rests her head on my lap or shoulder. Loves it.
