We went to Central Park after church today. The weather was crisp and cool, just perfect for the city weather. We saw various summer concerts, walked around the park and met lots of puppies and dogs.

I picked up these gorgeous vine tomatoes from Whole Foods on sale! They inspired me to make Mexican food for lunch before we set out to go to our friend’s wedding this afternoon. It’s Chloe’s first time with a non-family member babysitter tonight. We’ll see how it goes…

We took her to Danny & Jenny’s rehearsal dinner party. Even though it was way past her bedtime she did her rounds and said hi to everyone. People were impressed how friendly and outgoing she was. 🙂 I think she is especially friendly to Asian people. It was like meeting family to her. She certainly had a good bonding time with uncle Tony and aunt Eura!

We invited Soo-Jin over for dinner this afternoon so Chloe can get to know her. Soo-Jin baby-sat her a couple of times before when Chloe was less than a year old, but other than that, Andrew and I hardly ever left Chloe with any one else. It’s crazy to think that we haven’t gone out that much! A few times when we both had to go out, like for evening weddings or company events, we had either my mother-in-law or my parents stay with Chloe. I think between my full-time job and Andrew’s crazy work hours made me feel bad (sometimes even guilty) to Chloe during the weekday, so we always manage to do spend time with her as much as we can during the evenings and weekends. However, we decided IT IS TIME to reclaim a more balanced social life for again… Okay, forget the social life, but we would love to go see a movie ONCE before the second baby arrives in September. Is that too much to ask?

I think Chloe’s gotten over egg allergies! Yay!!

Chloe spoke on the phone with Andrew for over 3 mins. She was acting like she was really having a conversation with him. It was such an entertainment to see her babbling, waving, LAUGHING out loud and making faces! Where does she get this from??

Chloe had her routine check-up this morning. She’s 33 in. and 23 lbs. Her height is in the 92 percentile, but her weight is only in the 22 percentile. In an attempt to fatten her up a bit (and I was really hungry when I went grocery shopping today), I tried making something special. I made a salmon dish that I recently learned from the Food Network and Andrew grilled the salmon, along with stakes, and of course some hotdogs as usual. Chloe, however, took only few bites of the salmon and prefer not to eat it, so it all ended up going to my baby boy #2!
