Watch out for the mom in the minivan!

Make your way for the mom driving down the street in the hoopty! My car is now permanently the Honda Odyssey. I think my coolness factor is now in the negatives...hahahaah. We bought the car Memorial Day Weekend, and I have definitely been enjoying it. It's got all the bells and whistles...who do you know has a car that has 2 wireless headphones and that could play DVDs and seat 8!!! :)

Jon is now driving around in my lil bro's old 2001 (or 2000?) Mercedes Benz CLK 320.

My mom is nowing driving around in my RX330 (gasp!). Yea, I gave my mom my Lexus. I just paid the car off, too!!! Bank account is sad. =( OH, well....

My dad is driving around in a new silver 2008 E350. Leases ended and the S-Class was too expensive to lease, so my dad decided to save some money and leased a E350 instead.

The Nissan MINima is the "whatever" car...

And...my lil bro is waiting for his ordered 2 door 2008 MANUAL BMW 335. I hate him. Hi Joe! Yay! I can learn how to drive stick on his car!!! He's been waitin' for this car for 2 months. I think it arrived today and he is going to pick it up this weekend.

Awesome News!

I am so happy for my cousin. We found out that they were pregnant about a month ago! I didn't blog on it sooner because I didn't know if they had told everyone yet, but yea! I'm so happy for them. They invited us over for dinner...and then she goes, "yea, we are going to be staying at a 3 bedroom apt in Irvine"...I go, "why do you guys need a 3 bedroom apt!"...and she goes, "well, one room is the master room, 2nd room is for the office, and the 3rd is for the nursery"...after she said that, I said with a shocked and surprised face, "why? are you guys pregnant?"...and she goes, "yes...."....I said, "congrats!"....giving my cousin a hug and Ben a hug...and holding back tears....happy tears. :)

I'm looking foward to visiting them in a couple of weeks when we go to SD. Yay!

Meet my cousin Skylar

My cousin Skylar come over a couple of weeks ago. She was born on April 4, 2008. It was fun getting to know her! Check out these pics that my Grandpa took of us!

Why is she touching me, Mommy?!?!?

Do we have big feet??

Let's hold hands...

Cousin Skylar, Auntie Charlene, Me, and Mommy!

Blogging on new milestones!

I should probably blog more often or else I am going to forget when Nathan reaches his new milestones! Just recently, maybe a week or so ago, Nathan started to master his crawl. Up until then, he was doing a army crawl and had many face plants into the ground!

Anyhow, so he crawls to the couch and then pulls himself up into a standing position! I was so amazed! I only let him stand for about 5 seconds before I picked him up. Reason - both my parents and in-laws say that if a child stands up too early or for too long, then it might cause bow-leggedness....fact or fiction? My pediatrician says fiction, but better to be safe...I don't let Nathan stand for too long even though he just loves it. I would pick him up and place him away from the couch and guess what? He crawls to the same couch again so that he could pull himself up to stand.

Also, recently his two front teeth came out!! I saw that his gums were swollen about a week ago, so I knew to expect the teeth to come in...and sure enough, just a couple of days ago, I saw 2 little white stubs. And yesterday, when he was chewing on a sucking pad, there was blood on it. Kind of scared me a little bit, but it didn't seem to bother him.

Hmmm...what else...solid feeding has been going well...He has tried sweet potatoes, peaches, apples, pears, peas, carrots, avocado, banana, zucchini, and blueberries. I think that's it so far.

Oh, yea! So this past weekend, we took Nathan for a dip in the pool, and he just LOVED it! He was kicking the water and he was swimming freestyle! =) I wish I knew how to post a video on this blog....Maybe I'll learn someday. =)

Here are 2 recent funny face pics...He was making this expression daily for awhile.
