BBQ Lunch





We grilled some burgers for lunch with the Quicks last weekend. It was delicious. The sun was a shinin' and we came up with some inventive ways to protect the little ones from its harsh rays.

Growing Up



Our little Panda is getting so big. She weighed in at 10 pounds 4 ounces at her doctor's appointment yesterday, and she's growing out of her smallest clothes. She can no longer wear her Panda onesie pictured above! :-(
Here are some new things Panda can do:
-bat at toys
-roll from back to side
-sort of laugh (big smile with a gaspy intake of air)
-partial push up from tummy time position

It's so fun to watch her grow!

Happy 88th!

The Imase-Hiyama-Oda side of the family gathered on Sunday to celebrate Grandma Lucy's Hachi Ju Hachi. Click here to view more photos of the festivities.

McKay Trading


Panda visited the office of McKay Trading and Western Hide on Monday and got to hang out with Colette, Barbara and Grandpa Jim while I ran a few errands. Most women don't leave work to be stay at home moms and still get the day care benefit...how lucky am I?

We love you guys!

Smile Baby

Happy Mother's Day To ME!


Chloe's smile is the best present I could ask for! Aww, is that too cheesey? Ok, I also really like my Miu Miu flats from her Daddy. But no, really, baby smiles are even better!

What Else Is New...

The rest of the week in pictures:
Panda and I visited the farmers market with Cookie and bought herbs for the garden.


We hung out with Susan at Kenmore.



We took a Mom and Baby Yoga class at Bloom with Jennifer and Ellie.


We spent some time being cute in various baby loungers and outfits.


We hung out with our monkey in the boppy.


And we had lunch with our friends Jill, Simon and Harry at RJ Grunts followed by a trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo! What a great week!

GroWth sPUrT!

Our little one keeps getting bigger! She will be 6 weeks old tomorrow and, right on schedule, has started her 6 week growth spurt. How could we tell, you ask? Because she was up almost every other hour to eat! We had become spoiled as a family recently by her 5 hour stretches between night feedings...this is going to be a tough week!

Chaise Lounge Photo Shoot

I love my pretty baby so much! Every time I take a picture of her it turns into a mega photo shoot...she's such a babe! Here are our pictures from yesterday afternoon, Mark's day off. We visited the new Barney's and ate at Fred's. We went shopping for about 3 hours and Chloe slept through it all. Then she turned on the cuteness when we all got back home and I had to document it for posterity...and for our enjoyment today!

These photos are dedicated to Millie and Gundor. We hope they are having a fabulous time in Amsterdam and they will come back to visit us soon! We love you!
