Ok, I'm just going to jump right in. I kept thinking I should come up with a clever way to explain, excuse the long absence from the blog...but then I figured, what the heck, let's just pretend it didn't happen and post away.
A couple of exciting firsts this week. Z. turned 3 months about a week ago, and figured out how to roll herself over this week. No more blissfully putting her on the changing table and not worrying to bend down to pick up wipes that had fallen off. No more putting her on the bed and nonchalantly walking into the closet to get changed. Now we have a baby on the move! She hasn't quite figured out what to do once she's rolled over, but she's kicking her legs and moving her arms and becoming frustrated enough that we are worried she's going to figure out how to propel herself forward sometime soon. Oh, let us get adjusted to the rolling first! It's amazing how this time around I just want her to stay how she is; there isn't the same urgency to see what is going to happen next or to get her to the next milestone quickly. I just want to hold on to how she is NOW, because I know how quickly it all went by with her big brother.
And, speaking of oppa (what a younger girl calls her big brother, and a term of endearment with many couples, as long as the guy is older), he went to see Kung Fu Panda 2 this weekend with a bunch of our friends, who then all came back to our place for some Western style Chinese food. This was the first movie that he did not ask to leave from in the first ten minutes because of it being too loud, or too dark, or just too scary to not know what was coming up. He sat with popcorn in his lap, a soda in his cup holder and was mesmerized for the entire movie. He laughed at the chase scenes, offered daddy popcorn, and wanted to set up a time to go again as soon as the movie was over. He also wanted to know why the characters were speaking English if they were all in China. We will have to talk about suspension of disbelief before we see Cars 2.
(I completely forgot to take any pictures from that night...it was a bit crazy with the baby and the cooking and the organizing tix for 12, but this is a contemplative O. during Bugil's Sports Day...pics and explanations of that to come!)
