Tomorrow is our spring break family trip... this was planned long time ago but now it has changed from a CT skiing trip to probably a NY touring trip. Both Timothy & Acacia have been under the weather these past few days... and up until now we are not sure if we will really make the trip tomorrow... we will make a final decision tonight at dinnertime. It's a mixed feeling.. on one hand, we've been excitedly awaiting this trip for a while now... and the boys have been really excited about playing in the snow and skiing... but on the other hand, it's freezing cold in east coast and it's sunny and bright out here in Texas..... it really makes me wonder if I have made a wrong decision to go there at this time of the year or not.
This Monday we finally submitted Jacob & Acacia's passport applications.. it is SO expensive!! Each kid costs about $142.. plus the $$ to develop photos... good thing daddy finally took the pictures by himself and had them developed in Sams, not only it's cheaper but we were able to get the kids to smile... much nice pictures then the ones taken outside. And we will also apply for Taiwan passports for all 3 kids. That is another $240. With the expensive airline tickets for all 5 of us, this Taiwan trip has turned into a huge expense for us. But it will all worth it, I know, at the moment we get to see our families.
OK I want to record somethings about Acacia. Other than her 2nd cold, she is doing really well developmentally. She sits by herself very well now, and she is able to scoop backwards a little. Still not very willing to be on her tummy or to crawl, but she likes to stand with our help. I think she might go straight to walking and totally skipping crawling. We will see. SHe has tried quite a few different foods: pumpkin, sweet potato, squash, avacado, peas, and the other day she tried carrots and seemed to like it. Today I bought some canned Gerber turkey, and I just gave her some. I guess she didn't really like the texture, but she still managed to eat some with oatmeal. She loves to drink water, and she likes to chew on her teething cookie, as well as some strawberry flavored baby puffs. She is a much better eater than Jacob and Timothy were. I hope she will be a food lover, just like her mommy!!
It's so quiet now both T & A are taking a much needed nap. This is the only time I have to update a blog...
