all I want is my two front teef

8-month old Ethan chomping on some bread at Hog Island in SF

Ethan has finally cut his first tooth! It's been three weeks already, and it actually has come up quite a bit. I was feeding him dinner with my fingers, and felt something very sharp. It was difficult to see the top of the tooth that's coming out because he's always moving, but it's easier to see now that it has poked out more. He never had a fever, but did start coming down with a cold around the time the tooth came in. But, I'm not sure if it's teething-related since the babies in daycare were also sick around that time. I'm eager for him to get more teeth, so that he can start chewing more solids. Hopefully he doesn't get more pain from them though!

It's Okay to Not Be Okay in 2020

This year has been, what can we say; Disruptive, strange, and hard. We were supposed to go on an epic Japan adventure sans kids for the first time, party at the BTS concert together, and explore more of LA as a family to name a few of our plans. Instead, we tried to make the most of remote learning, rearranged our home to accommodate two work from home parents, worked our butts off to retain both of our jobs, and found small ways to keep the sanity. To focus on the bright spots though: 1. We are now raising some cute fish in a 10 gallon tank 2. Tie dying has become a family hobby 3.

Netflix & Kdrama has become a fond pastime for Eleen & Lucas (Netflix's Signal and It's Okay to Not Be Okay are excellent) 5. No one has been sick for a whole year (with kids in preschool & elementary school normall...

2nd + 3rd weekend of August

Thank you for the lovely notes and cards of comfort and warmth yesterday. To be honest, I was a bit surprised to hear from some of you, but it's nice to know there are a few people actually reading this blog. I feel a lot better today because of you guys. *virtual hugs* Time also has a way of lessening the deepness of the sadness. I'm sure there will be days ahead that will be difficult again, like when I actually see my mom in person for the first time, but I'll cross that bridge then. In the meantime, I'd like to continue doing regular things to further distance the sad feelings and memories. I wish I blogged more regularly so that I wouldn't start forgetting things, but c'est la vie. Ethan has gotten used to his new shoes now, and doesn't protest putting them on as much anymore. We did go to Little Gym in our area, and Ethan was curiously terrified. He wouldn't let go of Lucas, and refused to be put down. Even his legs and...

Fixin 'er up!

My blu-ray player stopped working all of a sudden on Friday. I was thinking oh well, I've been wanting to upgrade it anyway for a while. Then another thought came into mind, hey, I should try upgrading the firmware before trashing it. Just upgraded, and I get to see this now:

peekie wu!
