Dog Tired

We went for dinner to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday, and when we came back she was “dog” tired

Cheeky Lady

Rebecca loves to scratch her ears and face so at night I would swaddle her so that she would not have access to her arms and hands.

This morning she managed to wriggle her right arm free, and she gave me this cheeky look, like she was telling “neh-neh-neh-neh-neh”.

I just went Pro on my Flickr Account. Now to move my few thousand photos from my gallery page to flickr. Thank God for utilities like FlickrExport, which allows me to easily export my photos from iPhoto to Flickr.

New Toy Doggy

I went to get the mail this morning and found that Rebecca’s great aunt who lives in Australia, has sent her presents – a set of clothes and a doggy toy. She loves it.

A Dress, Mom?

I usually like to dress her in Footsies, but this morning all of those were in the laundry basket (we had to change her clothes often because of her uncontrollable drooling), so I picked out this lovely white Winnie the Pooh dress for her. Not the easiest piece of clothing to wear, but doesn’t she look sweet?

Pink Panther

One good thing about this playard is that it has a changing tray that you can attach to it. It makes it so much easier to change little Rebecca. Here she is after being changed and staring at Pink Panther.

Rebecca goos and gaas at them like they were actually having a conversation. Fascinating to watch.

I sleep better this way

Rebecca was totally exhausted after her park adventure.

Here’s a video I made from our visit to the park. Enjoy.

The Girls at the Park

Today was such a great day that we spent the evening taking a walk at the park. Mom, Dad, Rebecca, Grandma and the two doggies all went together. This is the first time we brought Rebecca, Charlotte and Cayenne out together. Our car was PACKED. Time to get an SUV. hehe.

Getting Some Sun

Today is one of the precious days of March that is without rain. Here in the Bay Area we are experiencing the wettest month of March ever, and days like this have to be treasured. Rebecca views her backyard while the dogs run around in it.

Daddy and Rebecca

She’s barely three months old and is already wanting to sit up all the time. Her favorite position now is to sit in front of you while resting her back on your tummy. She watches TV this way too.

Here’s Rebecca feeling her toy. She looks apprehensive.

I was feeling under the weather last evening, fever, body aches, and fatigue. It might be my usual body’s way of welcoming Spring. I always get a little sick during this time every year. Change of weather. Anyway I took two Tylenols last night, while May took care of Rebecca, had a good night’s sleep, and this morning my fever is gone, though my body still aches a little. Hopefully I’ll get better by midday, don’t want to spoil the weekend! Plus I hope Rebecca doesn’t get sick (again!).

Bad Hair Day
Originally uploaded by berniechew.

Rebecca has Cradle Cap, which means she has dry skin on her scalp that looks like a bad case of dandruff. To minimize its growth, I use baby oil to rub her scalp to loosen the dry skin, then use a plastic comb to gently scrath them out. After that I would wash her hair, and this is how it looks after.
