Who's "OOC" (out of control) now ...

I had to post this because I am not the only one who is buying the baby things. Edwin was so proud that he found this little Raider outfit for the baby. It took him quite a while to decide between the two outfits he liked (personally I would have bought both). Don't let him fool you, he is as "OOC" as I am. Here is a picture of the Raiders outfit ... it will be a while before you actually see it on the baby since Edwin bought the 12-month size.

So many baby things ... so little time

There are so many things the kids need to get for the baby and so many decisions on which ones to buy. The kids are really good about researching which products are the safest (not to mention trendy) so I just sit back and watch it all unfold. So far the kids have gotten their stroller (Bugaboo), high chair (Tripp Trapp), and infant car seat (Graco).

Luckily Hui-Hui (Cindy & Paul's little girl) came out for a visit so she gave everything a "test ride". She absolutely LOVED the Bugaboo stroller. She enjoyed playing with the carseat and testing it out with her bear.

We had a great time watching Hui-Hui using all the baby goodies. I think Hui-Hui had a good time too.

The kids are still looking for their crib, furniture, bassinet, glider, and a bunch of other things. Whew ... things have really changed since WE had our kids. Was it really THAT long ago???

Trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium

Edwin & I decided to take a much-deserved weekend away and go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium (one of our favorite places). Who would have thought the weekend would turn into a "gold mine" of baby goodies. We stopped at the Gilroy Outlets on the way down and went to Osh Kosh, The Children's Place, and Carters. Oh my what a fun time we had. Edwin wanted to go to the toy outlet and buy a trike, but we decided it was a LITTLE early for that. With our bags full we decided we better leave and head to the Residence Inn.

I have discovered that buying clothes for a little boy can be fun too (I was worried about not shopping for all the cute pink stuff).

The Aquarium was fun and I searched the whole place for a Aquarium bib but they didn't have one ... so I settled for a little "Otter blankie" instead. So cute.

You'll be happy to know that I controlled myself and didn't go to the Outlets in Monterey for baby stuff ... until next time.
