Cashew meets Sushi

Wow, it's a month and a half since Grandma Kam came to visit us. She's been such a great help! She's been cooking us delicious meals and looking after Maddie while Spidey and I are at work. We're so grateful to have her here.

Cashew is doing well - at her last checkup she was 90th percentile for weight! She is growing at a good pace and doing some new tricks. Instead of stuffing all her fingers in her mouth, she has now mastered just inserting her thumb. She can even curl her fingers so they don't spread across her face now :) She loves to watch people and know what's going on - she'll crane her neck to see something if she hears some rustling across the room. It's so fun to see her respond to us - if we smile at her, she'll smile back. Also, we've figured out what kind of things make her squeal with delight or laugh out loud. She loves it when Spidey burrows his face into her chest and blows hot air. We can also get a reaction out of her by doing things related to height drops - seems she's somewhat of a daredevil - she laughs if you throw her up into the air, when you fly her like Superman or if you bounce her on her feet on the floor. Last Friday at HF, she rolled over twice from her back to her tummy! It was the first time we saw her do it - yahoo!

Cashew's been a great helper, here she is carrying her milk to go home. We were at GrandmaLu's for five days. It was great - we got to play tennis - Pushi and I were trounced by GrandmaShi and Spidey - but we'll back for revenge - ha ha ha. Actually, I think next time it'll be ladies vs. men. This past weekend, Cashew hung out with her cousin Sushi. We are so happy to welcome her into the world and so excited that the two of them can grow up together. Cashew is actually wearing Sushi's new jacket - how sweet of her to lend it to Cashew! Sushi is already exhibiting a generous heart. Here are three generations of the ladies!
