v.2

Saturday the bumblebees came over for a potluck dinner. Joy brought bratwurst from Milwaukee, salmon caviar and blinis. Ruthie made a delicious Greek orzo salad and DeeDee brought dumplings from Rickshaw. I made deviled eggs. I was going to make a ricotta cheesecake for dessert but since Joy had to leave early, I did not want to risk making it and having more leftovers. I really cannot afford to be eating a whole milk ricotta cheesecake on my own! Joy brought with her the Wii and 2 guitars for Guitar Hero. I never, ever played before but I got the hang of it pretty quickly! It is fun!! It probably is a good thing Joy left early or I might have developed a strong addiction to Guitar Hero. Denise and Ruthie also bought some cute outfits for Sienna and DeeDee also got her a new toy. Thanks guys!!

Monday my parents took us all out to Dim Sum in Brooklyn. We went to Ming Gee. Although cheaper than Golden Unicorn, I found it to be a little bit more greasier. Still good tho! We took Sienna’s booster seat with us and she sat at the table.

Let the eating begin!

Sippy cup, chicken feet and dumpling. Perfect Dim Sum plate!

Enjoying the food

Hey lady! Over here!

Did YOU get enough to eat?

Sienna gets cheated at Dim Sum!

We had the girls over today for lunch. Sylvain has left for France and Yves is still in Palm Springs. Even though we didn’t do any cooking today (besides Mummy making rice pudding), I’m tired!! Having 3 active girls in the house is tiring! It was all great fun tho. We thought it would be fun to order thai food to get the girls ready and it was very good! (But I’m sure it’s better in Thailand!) My parents came over for a little bit to drop off more New Years oranges and we took the opportunity to have a grandparents picture. I took 4 shots and of course, everyone looks different in all of them. I couldn’t decide which one to post so I’m just going to post all 4!

Here’s a shot of the delicious rice pudding!

We hooked up with JP, Carol-Anne and Gaby via video conferencing. The only people we were missing this time were Yves and Sylvain!

Maia and Sienna wanted to touch Uncle Baba and Tata Mouse and cousin Gaby.

Nana goofs around with her grandpa

Sienna really has fun with her cousins and will really miss them!

Yves is in Palm Springs this week for work. The place he’s staying at doesn’t have a wireless, high speed connection so we can’t do a video chat (what hotel doesn’t have that???) so this entry is to update him on some of the things that were going on this week!

Wednesday night we went to celebrate the Year of the Rat at my parents house. They have the big celebration on the eve but we also had lunch with them on the day.

I thought I would also show some of the mischief she is getting into this week.

Over the Barrier and into the rest of the house!

Squeezing into a corner I’m not supposed to be in


Climbing out of my high chair and must now be buckled in again!

And this is not mischief but wanted to show how her top tooth is coming in! Taken today outside Kohl’s.

And close up

Saturday we had everyone over for a late lunch (we were just missing JP, Carol-Anne and Gaby!). My MIL made Jamaican food, everyone’s favorite, ackee and saltfish, jerk chicken, unjerk chicken, plantains, rice & peas and bammy’s. Also some potatoes and I made broccolis. For dessert, I made cookies and cream ice cream with the maker and Yves’ favorite cookies and pumpkin cookies. Everything was delicious and we stuffed ourselves!

Sienna is really starting to get into playing Peek A Boo. Sometimes she’ll start the game during the middle of having her bottle. It just cracks me up that she gets the concept of the game. Plus it makes her laugh so much! I know my friend Pete will really get a kick out of this video I took of a recent game, more from my sillyness than anything Sienna is doing!

We went to a trial class at the Little Gym on Wednesday. I didn’t take very many pictures. Here are a couple of her being very watchful and taking it all in before she actually does anything.

Here is a video of Sienna enjoying bubble time.

We didn’t do much over the holiday weekend. 2 of the days were really cold. We’ve started the Let It Go project otherwise known as the Why Do We Still Have This? project. I joined a Brooklyn freecycle group on Yahoo and already got rid of, I mean, passed along my old Orange Handspring (still works!) and original Nintendo Game Boy with attachable light. There’s another boxful of stuff I need to list as well. It takes a little more effort for this but it feels good that someone else can use this stuff and not fill up the landfill.

Sienna’s checking her e-mail!

That’s Neo!

Yo Neo, what’s up! Want the snowman’s scarf?

That looks like fun!

It is fun!

Sienna had her 10 month check up last week and she grew an inch since her last check up at 8 months! It surprisd the doctor because he said usually by this time, they don’t grow much in length. She’s gonna be a tall baby!
