9 months old

Tesshin turned 9 months old today. No bells and whistles. He actually had his well check appointment today. He only had one shot versus his normal four. He cried for about 5 seconds and then he was ok. He completely lost it when they pricked his finger to check his blood for anemia.


After his appointment, we drove over to see Karen and Akemi (Fu). Akemi has gotten so big since the last time I saw her. She smiles and responds to Karen's voice. It's so cute. We were Stroller Mamas and walked over to Corner Bakery for lunch. I love their California Grille Paninis. He was fussy in the stroller but he setlled down once we got to the restaurant. I think he was fussy because he was fighting a bout of diarrhea. I had him on my lap and I felt some movement. Next thing I know, I feel something very warm on my leg. I look down and I see poop on my jeans. Yikes! I rushed him to the bathroom but there was a line (of course). I eventually got him cleaned up and tried to enjoy the rest of my lunch. I put him in a restaurant high chair for the first time today. I'm totally lovin' it! He can actually sit there, eat a bowl of Cheerios and be somewhat content for 10 minutes while the grown ups eat. Akemi was a perfect little angel the entire time. Such a sweet girl! Overall, we had a great day and I give special thanks to Karen for putting up all of the craziness of the day.
