Back to Work

Four months of maternity leave seemed like a lot back in April, but now it's all gone in a flash. I can vividly remember turning off my daily 7 AM alarm; it was like yesterday. Last Sunday night, I packed up my laptop, and felt what seem like first day of school jitters. Sniff... Sniff...

I've been leaving my blog open on my laptop at work so that I can look at my Ella Bu all day. Time for some new pictures!

Ella loves to hold her bottle now, but still needs a litte help from Mommy.


Ella doesn't cry anymore when she wakes up from a nap. She just looks around and starts to babble to herself.


She loves to sit upright now, but can't quite sit by herself yet.



Ella starts her days in the swing, and sometimes just nods off again.


Finally!!! Ella finally began to take to Auntie Emily and have been sleeping soundly in her arms for a couple of times.


Getting ready to wash her greasy hair.

Ella's Party

We celebrated Ella's 100th Day with a picnic at Golden Gate Park last weekend. The unpredictable weather in SF was very cooperative. The wind was calm for the most part and it was sunny for the duration of the picnic, which unfortunately melted the malt balls in the favor bags.


It also happened to be Daddy's birthday, and it was the best birthday he's ever had. All the photos are posted on Flickr, but here are a few.

Auntie Emily and Daddy went to the park early to set up and waited for the jumper to arrive. They set up all the tables in the shape of an "E" for Ella. Nice detail!!


Thanks Grandma and Uncle Bo for picking up all the Sushi and Chinese food!!!

Mommy and Uncle Ethan had the difficult task of cupcake tastings and we decided on the Red Velvet and Lemon Drop Cupcakes from Noe Valley Bakery. Both were big hits with everyone!!

We also want to thank everyone who participated in the Sumo Wrestling for providing the FREE entertainment.


We had a great time hanging out with everyone! Thanks for coming to share a fun day in the park with us!

Ella turned 3 months

I don't have anything in my pockets?!

She did it! She lifted her heavy cheeks today, both Mommy and Daddy were there to see it.

My favorite Blog: Shimandsons

Couldn't really sleep tonite. I began to surf and decided to check on one of my favorite blogs, shimandsons. Sally Shim started out in Portland and had moved to South Korea this year. I love her clean, no fuss style. She's also really into Japanese craft magazines like me. I think I might have a blog crush. She also featured another crafty blogger, Sarah Smiles, in her recent entry. They're both so talented and have a great sense of the simple style. Both are much better at sewing than I am as well.
