First haircut

Aaron finally got his haircut by daddy after 8+ months. He had never gotten a haircut since birth as we noticed his hair has gotten shorter and shorter. We finally figured that his hair gets shorter as his head grows. Daddy cut tiny little bit of his bangs and the side so he won't look as dirty/messy all the time. ;) Of course, mommy saved his first hair and will return to him later on.

First play date at home

Aaron had his very first play date at home. We invited Jeanie+Garett and she brought her friend Maisy+Sophie to our home.  I made lasagna the night before and baked it today to soak up more sauce and flavor. We had so much fun together and time passed by so fast.  It's so cool to see babies interact with each other and they all do similar things.

I love having people over and prepare food for them. It's nice to be able to finally make some friends in the Bay area, and it's even better that daddy is supportive of it. I am enjoying every moment with my gremlin.

Aaron's first CNY

Happy Chinese New Year! This is Aaron's first CNY and he got an awesome chinese outfit from Por Por and Kung Kung.  The outfit is a little big besides the hat (perhaps his head is abnormally big?) but of course he still looks adorable.  I like how he looks like a king with that funny little hat. In mommy's eyes, Aaron looks cute no matter what he wears. I love you, my prince.

Aunt Debbie visiting from HK

Aunt Debbie came visit Aaron for 2 weeks from Hong Kong. There have been numerous guests visiting Aaron since he was born. She brought 2 pairs of slippers for Aaron and helped bring the awesome Chinese outfit for Aaron.  We are going to cook and eat some yummy food the next 2 weeks.

Play date @Ping's

We met Ping + Niels last week at Jeanie's place, she was so nice to invite us over to her place for plate date.   They live in South San Jose and the area of their place is beautiful. Ping made some delicious salmon udon for us and I couldn't stop eating. They have so many "big boy toys" that Aaron never played before. They have all kind of toys like the musical table, ride n go, and other toys that I've never seen.  I went home and started researching for all the fun toys I can get for Aaron. :)

First play date (@Jeanie's)

Aaron and I went to his very first play date at Jeanie's place. We had such awesome time that Aaron met another baby named Niels. Jeanie was very kind to prepare a steamed fish, veggies, and meatballs. She even went to get us some bubble tea! Aaron got to play so many new toys and we borrowed a couple books home. We love play dates! :)

Last pump

I can't believe the dreadful 7.5 month pumping has finally comes to an end. I am officially done with pumping for Aaron. The last time I pumped was 4 days ago and today I am only making less than 15ml. It feels so good to be free from the pump and I can spend so much more time with Aaron. The past 6 month of pumping was absolutely painful (both physically and mentally).  It was so time-consuming and stressful that I hope nobody else needs to experience it.  But I am still glad that I did it for Aaron and gave him what is supposed to be the best. I just wish I had enough supply and didn't have to supplement with formula. Oh well, it can never be perfect, can it?

Whee! I love the freedom and the extra time I have with Aaron.
