Hai and I had a good weekend, but I must say I was glad when the nanny showed up this morning. I asked her to come in for a few hours a week for the next couple of months so that Hai could get used to her. It's working. Today when she came he reached for her and clearly was ready to "go to the park". The nice thing is the park is right across the street from my condo complex, so they are not far away - and he really seems to like the swings, the fall leaves that crunch and the sand. (He's definitely going to be a beach kid).
This weekend we spent a lot of time with his "Tia" Maria and his "cousin" Christina. Christina is 4 and getting used to the idea that her Tia Melissa has a baby. He's pretty fun until he takes time from her is basically how it goes... But she's a great little helper and we had a fun weekend. We went to Stanford shopping mall where Hai saw more dogs than he's probably ever seen in his life and yesterday we braved "Babys R Us", it was actually less painful than I thought.
Now I'm headed to a yoga class to work out the kinks from carrying Hai in the Baby Bjorn and pushing the stroller all weekend... I may just end up in the jacuzzi at the gym, but the intention is there...
And yes, I know I need to take some more pictures, it's on my "to do" list. I can't wait for Grandma and Grandpa to get here, we might actually get some real photos taken!
Hope you all are well!
Melissa

The blog is terrific, and it'so wonderful to hear about your adventures into the land of parenting. It's the scariest thing in the world, no doubt! Your stories also bring back so many memories of when my Jaxn was Hai's age. You have quite a knack as a blogger. Looking forward to more posts and to actually seeing you both in person very soon.
