Studying!

Hellooo friends!
I can't believe we've been in Boston (suburbia) for almost a month now! Edwin and I totally do a double take every time we hear the Boston accent (ahem... i mean BAAH-STON accent). Yesterday, I overheard one lady say, "I've gotta get my caaahhr. " Wow. For us with Texan ears, it *almost* sounds foreign. hahaha.

Anyhow, it's been fun so far. Unfortunately, I feel like I haven't had a chance to really do much yet because I am holed up studying for my Massachusett board exams -- well, at least the law portion for pharmacy. Every state has different law requirements. So in order to transfer my license from Texas to Massachusetts, I have to read (memorize) pages worth of dry law stuff. Ugh! I've also had to do 30 hours of continuing education to renew my license for Texas.

So I still have a LOT of STUDYING to do before I finish unpacking since my law test is coming up....SOON. I totally have senoritis syndrome where I would rather do ANYTHING than studying. But study I shall.

I *promise* to update more after all my exams are done. =) I have a lot more pictures to update, but I shall be disciplined and refrain from doing so until all my studies are done!

Jocelyn is 6 months...oh wait, almost 7 months!

Hello friends!

Where did the time go? Life has been so hectic and crazy, I am kind of shock that it's now June. Of course, we are busy and so I haven't had much time to update. But I do want to check-in and give a brief update. =)

I can hardly believe that Jocelyn is already almost 7 months. Her last check up at 4 months, she was 90th percentile (height & weight). This time at 6 months, she was 90th (weight) and 95th (in height)! How did our little 6 lb 11oz baby become this chunky girl? We know it's definitely NOT from our genes (especially the height). It must be just a phase! We'll enjoy her rolls of fat while it lasts... =P

This past month whizzed by. Since the last blog post, she has been able to sit all by herself unsupported. Her little two bottom teeth has also recently come in.

Another big milestone is that she has also finally started solids. I've been really hesitating starting her on solids because well...I'm just kind of lazy. Nursing her is just easier than having to pull out a bib, bowl, spoon, and spoonfeed her bite by bite. But as she has gotten older, she has been eyeing our food and seems just hungrier and hungier -- ESPECIALLY when we are eating. So, it was time to feed her solids.

Here are some fun pics of her first time eating. She was so ready for it, that at times, she was literally lunging for the spoon.

Getting ready to take a bite:

She's loving it!We also had some fun recent bathtime pictures. It's been fun bathing her since she can sit up and splash water around.

Here's a picture showing more of her two bottom teeth:
Well, that's all the jocelyn update for now. As for update on us and life, we'll save that one to another post for next time.

I will *try* to keep my posting up and not get behind...

A brief update! =)

[L]: It's been such a long time since we've been able to update this blog. But for the very faithful 1 or 2 of you that maybe still check this blog, I really appreciate it! =) Thanks for caring about our little family. I tell myself that I will update this soon, very soon, soon-enough...and uh, never get around to it. There's SO MUCH to update...and I think I just don't know where to start... so I don't do it at all. Sigh.

For example, let's just start with our little sweet Jocelyn who has won over her mommy & daddy's heart the day she was born. She has grown so much since then! She now laughs, squeals, rolls over, and knows our little games we do with her! She has even grown from being in the 10th percentile to now a 90th percentile baby (height & weight!) hahaha. She has been the daily delight and joy.

We have taken literally hundreds/thousands of pictures (we even bought a mega memory card to hold it all)... and we daily add to it. So when the task comes to pick out a few to download onto our blog, facebook, whatnot... how do we choose?!! So as a I result, I have done nothing about downloading pics. But I promise, there will be one day soon when I post my fav pics. There's just too many to choose from at the moment (as if this problem will be solved by waiting later...?) sigh! =) I guess I'll just start by posting the latest pics (see below). We went to a strawberry farm with our friends who also have a little girl only 3 days older (Jocelyn's friend Isabelle). It was so much fun!

In other areas of life... well, it's been busy too. Back while we were in Asia, I loved blogging regularly because almost everyone dear to us were on the other side of the ocean. And it was our way of communicating and sharing our life. Now, well, most everyone is within driving distance! hahaha. =)

But sadly, all of this will change once again! This July we will be moving AGAIN. As you may know, Edwin will be attending school in the New England area at GCTS to get a Masters -- M.Div. So I guess that means I need to get busy and start paying some attention to this blog again...as we sadly prepare to leave our beloved H-town once again. Sniff, sniff...

This time, though, it's comforting to know that we won't be so far away on the other side of the world...and, yes, there will be lobsters and clam chowder where we are heading to! :)

PICS: At the strawberry farm last week with our chunky monkey! And of course, who could resist dressing her up with such cute accessories...

daddy's little girl...

We've been absent from our blog for quite some time now. It's been quite of a whirlwind these past few months! In case you haven't heard...here's our newest little addition to our family. She is such a HUGE blessing to us and such a big gift from God!

Here's little sleepy-head Jocelyn smothered by daddy's kisses. =)
