More Infantino Please!

I found some more of Lily’s modeling photos on Infantino, Amazon, and Target online!  I believe these photos were taken back in maybe April!  On Amazon and Target she’s modeling the Infantino Touch and Feel Critter Ball Set, doesn’t she look so engaged in them??  The critter balls are sold for $19.99!

Here is the Infantino Go Go Trio jungle pals!  I remember when she did this shoot, it was one of the first times she sat on grass, it she was so fascinated with the grass and kept pulling on the grass.  I’m happy to see that they ended up getting a cute shot of her, and man doesn’t she look so young and chubby??  I just wanna squeeze those cheeks!  I like how she always curls her toes haha!  These jungle pals are sold for $12.99!  I must find then in stores!

Lily on the Move!

We were finally able to record Lily (13 months old & 3 days old) getting off the couch properly and safely!  She started to do this by herself for maybe a month or so but when she lands on the ground, it’s a lot more solid now and today she even took some steps afterwards like a pro!!  We’re so proud of you Lily pad!!!

Best birthday present a mommy can ever get; Lily walking so much today!!! She stumbled once but then tries so hard to get back up and walk some more!!! I was screaming and cheering with so much excitement inside! I don’t like to talk much while recording her cause I love her sweet little voice so if she does say anything I don’t want to talk over her. hehe. I’m so proud of my Lily pad, best present ever!!!

This isn’t a video of her on the move, but it’s still worthy of sharing! Lily (13.5 months old) is so good at not sharing her food that it’s so funny! haha. Enjoy this video of her sharing skills and of her and daddy being silly during dinner with her new skill she learned to do!! I love these two monkeys!! Haha!

We took Lily (13.5 months old) to the park and let her roam free!!  She improved in her walking SO much and just loves to walk everywhere now and she hardly crawls.  Everytime she falls down, she just picks herself back up and continues to walk!  We’re so proud of our baby Lily pad, and although we’re sad she’s growing up so fast, we are still super proud and excited with her developments!  She loves to explore her new surroundings and I love how she puts out her arms when she walks to balance herself!

Here’s a video of our Lily pad (13.5 months old) climbing up the stairs!! Look at her go!!  Normally I don’t like vertical videos but in this case, it works!

Lily (13.5 months) loves to talk a lot now, but now she’s developing a more advance level of her baby language!  I just love listening to her voice and just when you think it doesn’t get any cuter, she proves me wrong!  I wish can just bottle up all that cuteness!!  Now as to what she’s saying…no clue…haha.  Enjoy!

Lily Funflower!

Earlier we knew that Lily was on the cover package of Infantino’s Funflower, but here she is on the Infantino website (3rd image) for the product online as well!!! This picture is so big and clear, much better than the tiny picture on the package, that’s so exciting she’s on both packaging and online! Yay, go Lily pad!!!

UPDATE:  You can also buy it at Amazon and she’ll be on the cover!!!  I took a risk and bought one hoping she would be on the box and it arrived today (October 11, 2013) and there’s my Lily pad!!!  You can buy it HERE!

Here’s the link to the first post with her Funflower packaging!

Lily on Target & Amazon!

Check out who’s on Target.com and Amazon.com!!! =)

Lily’s Adventures in San Francisco!

This is Lily’s 1st time in San Francisco and technically my first REAL time here as well!  What an adventure this trip was, we definitely made most use of all our time there and luckily Lily was a big trooper and was so good with all our travelling and activities!  Her naps worked perfectly into our schedules as well!  I’m feeling very tired (and lazy) to go into a detailed blog post about everything we did, so here’s a “quick” and sweet rundown of what we did!

We got in on Tuesday night and met up with Diana and Sean (friends from the great white north), and ate at a really yummy ramen place called Katana-Ya! We then went to Bi-Rite Ice Cream but arrived right when they were closing, but Diana and Sean told them they came all the way from Canada and so they let us in!  YAY Go Canada!!!  It was so good to see them considering these things don’t happen often!  And Diana taught Lily how to say “yes!”  Check out the video here!!

On Wednesday we started our day by eating lunch at HDR’s Coffee Shop, a Korean restaurant that serves Mexican food with Korean food instead (i.e. kimchi pork burritos, bulgogi tacos, etc!)  It was quite good!!  We made our way to Lombard street, and then grabbed a really yummy blueberry pancake cupcake from Susie Cakes.  We visited Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf!  It’s really cute and fun, I really liked the touristy vibe there.  We tried to visit the bridge but it was completely covered in fog, so owe tried to go to Land’s End, but we didn’t go on the hike because we didn’t wanna carry Lily up and down all those steps haha.  We visited the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts and then we wanted go to the Academy of Science but it was closed by the time we got there, so we went to the Japanese Tea Garden instead, and it was really pretty!  We then met up with Vy, Chris and Scott for dinner so that Chris and Scott and finally meet Lily!!!  That was fun and great to see them after so long!

 

Thursday we have a very pretty scenic drive south to Harley Farms in Pescadero, where we took a tour on the goat farm and got to pet the goats and a llama!  We got to see how they milk the goats and how they make all their cheeses!  They also had lots of samples and boy were they tasty!  It was a really pretty farm too!  We then continued our drive south to the Monterey Bay Aquarium!  It’s by far my new favorite aquarium now, it’s so nice and big and we even got to see them feed and train the sea otters (my favorite sea creatures!)  Lily had a blast in the splash zone too and she loved the baby corals corner too, a play area just for babies!!  We then went up to San Jose and had dinner with Joe Goan, Joe & Karen Cheng and got to meet their baby Kaylee for the first time too!  Thanks for making the time to meet us on 4th of July!  We didn’t do any 4th of July festivities, we saw some fireworks during out drive home, that was good enough for us!

Friday visited the Golden Gate Bridge and boy was it cold that morning!  It was a lil foggy but we managed to get a clear enough picture with the bridge!  We then drove north to Healdsburg for Tian and Tony’s Wedding!  It was such a beautiful wedding!!!  I loved all the details and the view was just so pretty!  It was great to see all my friends and celebrate T&T’s special big day! You can view more pictures from Tian & Tony’s Wedding here!

Saturday morning we went to Tian and Tony’s cottage for their goodbye breakfast and got to see my friends before going home.  We then went to see the Golden Gate Bridge from the north side of the bridge, and the view is MUCH better from there, so if you ever want to see it, see it from the north looking south!  You’re on top looking down at the bridge rather than looking up, so I think it’s much nicer.  We then went to the Twin Peaks to see the amazing view of the city, but man it was quite windy!  Afterwards we went to meet up with Aarin and his friends where Aarin tried to give Lily coffee and made her race around the lounge haha.  On the way to the airport, we HAD to stop by Kara’s Cupcakes to get the smores and passion fruit cupcakes, so devine!!!  We ended up having to go to the San Jose Airport instead of SFO due to the unfortunate accident that happened that morning at SFO, and it made me quite nervous flying home, but we made it home safe and sound!  It was a great vacation and we had so much fun!!!  It was nice to be outdoors and experience these new adventures with the two people I love most, Khoa and Lily! =)  Lily had so much fun looking at all the new sights and meeting all these new and old friends!  She most likely won’t remember this trip, but I will, and we can always show her pictures =).  You can view more pictures from our vacation here!
