Three months!

Baby Stephen turned three months old on August eighth. And boy, has time flied! He became much more social this past month. He loves it when you sing songs to him or talk to him. And he usually tries to sing and talk back. His favorite songs include you are my sunshine, popcorn popping on an apricot tree, and three little ducks.

This month he learned to start grabbing stuff. He loves to grab our fingers, clothes, his toys, blankets, and pretty much everything in reach.

Here are some pictures.

Trip to Utah

During our trip to Utah we spent most if our time with family, friends, and enjoying food. Although we live in an area known for great restaurants, we have a few favorites in Utah that we need to visit every time. They include pizzeria 712, Gloria's, communal, cafe rio, kneaders, and zupas. There are also several others in salt lake that we didn't make it to.

It was so nice to see our family and friends. My family is pretty small; only my dad, brother in law, and sister in law live in Utah. But Stephen is one of 6 kids who are all married with kids so there was no shortage of people to see.

We were fortunate to do everything we wanted to during our trip. Here are some pictures.

Baby blessing

This summer has been a busy one for us. In addition to having a new baby, Stephen had an internship this summer in silicon valley (about an hr away) and a job at uc Berkeley. We have also been busy with lots of visitors.

Since Stephens internship ended mid-July we decided to go to Utah to visit family and bless the baby. It was great to see our family and friends and introduce our baby to them. Stephen gave the baby a wonderful blessing. I cried. Here are some pictures from his special day.
