California 2009

Three days after we got back from our Vegas trip, we booked a last-minute flight to San Francisco at the insistance of my hubby. He wanted us to spend some time with his family down south so that they can also meet our little man.

Least to say, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. It was more of a relaxing trip as we did not bother doing much sightseeing but I had lots of fun getting to know the hubby's aunt and uncle and we also were able to visit our little man's great-grandpa. He's 86 years old and still very young at heart.

Here's some of my favourite photos from this trip:

Vegas 2009

Our end of November trip to Vegas was a whole load of fun and work put together. This is our first time travelling with a baby so you can just imagine the bulk of things we brought. From excess diapers, extra bottles to sterilizers and the amount of clothes I packed, we definitely had to check in a massive luggage along with our carry-ons.

The good part of the trip is that we were able to travel with my parents as well as the hubby's mom. They were all such great help in carrying a few things at the airport. Luckily, the little man was also the most well-behaved little boy you can ever ask for when travelling. No fussing, crying or tantrums though he was flying with a cold. I was very thankful.

Because this is the hubby & I's 2nd trip to Vegas, my usual photowhoring session was cut down. I found that I was more interested in making sure that my little one was occupied rather than pull out my camera at every turn. So for this trip, I took 90% less pictures than I would normally do.

If there was anything I would suggest for those of you making a trip to Vegas, don't miss out on the Buffet at the Wynn. The moolah you pay for is worth the price of their amazing food!

Enjoy some of the pics I have posted up here :)

Vegas was such a success...

... that we've decided to follow-up on it.

San Francisco/Fresno here we come!

See you all in another week (again)

Goodbye for a few days...

.... we're finally off to catch some Vegas sun!

T-Minus 2 Days

With Vegas coming just around the corner, of course my little man just had to go succumb to a common cold. It started the other night with a little sneeze and a lack of appetite and graduated to a runny nose yesterday.

Mornings are OK to deal with but evenings are an entirely different matter. We learned last night just how horrible common colds are for babies given the six times we got up to carry, cuddle and soothe a congested little guy.

I was so exhausted from last night that I didn't even pay attention to a lovely little cheer-me-up my hubby wrote on my FB wall until now.

Indulge me for a second on this one....... AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW.

The hubby can be sometimes ever-so-sweet if he really wanted to.

Wish us luck tonight! With the help of Little Noses' saline drops, we three just might be able to get the sleep we need and the little man and I just might not have to miss that flight to LV!

one more week...

back to reading

I walked into my bathroom last night and sat on the toilet to find myself staring at a copy of Dan Brown's newest book The Lost Symbol staring me in the face. I yelped in shock and screamed in delight that my wonderful hubby has given me such a wonderful surprise!

I've been going at the book like there is no tomorrow. I think that's the number one reason why I woke up with a migraine today.

I can't wait to make a serious dent on it!
