part 2 of our crazy weekend

after a 5 1/2 hour flight, we are here in the city of angels. yuck. :( sorry for those of you in l.a. but man, we miss nyc already.

when we got to lax, we went straight to get the rental car which took FOREVER. this would be jonah's first for a lot of things to come on this trip - 1st plane ride, 1st car ride, 1st time meeting tim's side of fam, 1st time meeting my side of fam...it's endless.

so after we got our rental, we head for one of my favorite restaurants in cali - OK CAFE in alhambra. i love their wonton noodle and soup and spanish coffee there. so cheap and good. we found a place similar to it in nyc but it's not the same. this was one thing that i was dying for when we got here. so when we get there, we found out that ok cafe turned into dj cafe. WHAT! i was so pissed. i couldn't believe it.

we went in there anyways to see if the menu would be the same, at least but no luck. everything was different. they didn't even have wonton noodle and soup. it totally sucked so we just left and went to garden cafe. i got my fix of wonton noodle and soup and spanish coffee but it so was not the same.

part 1 of our crazy weekend

well, we made it here to sunny california. i think we exhausted the little man. on sunday, we had to wake up butt early b/c we had to catch a 7am flight which meant that we had to leave our apt at 4am.

usually, jonah wakes up at around 8a for his 1st feeding so i thought he would be totally pissed when i had to wake him up at 345a to get him ready but when i woke him up, he had a huge smile on his face. i just love my kid. he's definitely one of those kids that's not all cranky when he wakes up. i love that.

so we leave the apt at 4a and got to the airport at like 5a. we're thinking that's great, we have 2 hours, plenty of time. no problem. at this point, jonah is still up and in a good mood. when we get to the airport, this is where the nightmare begins.

when we get to the delta station agent to check in, they had the hardest time getting our ticket. 1 1/2 hours later, they finally get us all checked in which means that we only have 15 minutes to get to the gate and the station agent tells us that the gate is really far and we need to haul buns. so here we are w/ jonah running like a mad woman to our gate but we made it just in the nick of time. i think i must have lost 10 lbs from all the running and the stress. during that whole time, jonah was a little angel.

More Friends

today was a milestone for me. i've been w/ tim for 12 years and during that time, the friends that i made were usually tim's friends or my co-workers. today was special for me b/c thanks to jonah, i'm beginning to make my own friends.

galit is a makeup artist w/ a 5 1/2 month old daughter, maya.
claudia is a graphic designer w/ a 6 month old daughter, audrey
laurian is an architect w/ a 5 1/2 month old daughter, adina.

we all met at hampton chutney on the UWS for lunch. since jonah is the youngest one out of the 3 girls, it was great to hear all the mothers talk about their experiences. i'm learning so much from them. then, we were off to do some shopping. so much fun. i really had a good day.

To my love monkey

Happy Anniversary, my love.

7 years, baby. I LOVE YOU!

Fight the Power!

jonah just started doing this yesterday. i have no idea where he got this from or why he does it but doesn't he look like he's saying, "Take this!" or "Up Yours!" it makes me laugh every time he does it which quite often.

it's official

our little baby has gotten his 1st tooth.

you can't really see it in this picture but it's there. you can feel the tooth just under the gums.

he's not really drooling yet but he is crying a little bit more at night and chewing his hands. i wonder if that has to do w/ the tooth sprouting.

jonah is 4 months now. is it too early for his tooth to start popping out?
