Leftovers

Since I'm home today I didn't think about what was for lunch until Chloe was asleep in her crib! Oops! Good thing we had leftovers and rice already cooked!!

Options

Chloe finally ate a good amount of dinner tonight. It might have been because she had 3 different options to chose from and they were all delicious. 

10/27: stroller naps

Chloe took a 1 hour nap in the stroller today while my mom & I shopped! It was pretty awesome not having to carry her in the ergo to sleep and to have her sleep longer than 30 min was a bonus. 

Appointment reminders

We recently started sending our patients appointment reminders via text and since then I've gotten a lot more patients who will call to cancel/reschedule on their own and who call in advance to tell us they're running late. I don't know if the two things are related but I'd like to think they are. 

10/25: slow cooked meals

Me and my grandma teeth don't like chewing very much so meals and foods that are slow cooked are right up our alley. 

Farmers market

Fresh veggies, fresh fruit, yummy samples. It's like Costco except fresh!

Radio

I find it amazing that radio is free and that you can get a clear signal over such a broad area. 

walking distance eats

I was able to call in my order, walk to the restaurant, pick it up, and come back to clinic within 10 minutes.  It was very helpful and convenient.

Extra hands

Good thing I had a resident today or else I would've been swamped!

10/20: extra supplies

Stupid Verizon Fios didn't schedule an installation for me but instead sent a technician for a repair. He comes and thankfully had extra supplies to do the whole installation in one day. 

Call backs

I called Southwest today and instead of waiting on hold for 15 minutes I left my phone number for them to call me back.  About 15 minutes later I received a call back and there was a live customer service rep on the phone with me.  It was very convenient and I'm very happy I chose that option.

cast iron pans

I cooked longanisa and garlic fried rice this morning and didn't have to wash the pans since they were cast iron!  WOO HOO!

Central eating areas

We originally were gonna eat at Colori Kitchen but there was a lot of construction and it seemed like a sketchy area so we detoured and ended up at Maccheroni Republic instead. Thankfully it's not a long wait and it was super close by. 

Good timing

We went to Disneyland California Adventure today! We were able to watch multiple shows and go on a ride all with relatively short waits. It was even better that Chloe didn't mind the waits either! All in all it was a great day. 

Her smile

As Chloe becomes more like a little girl and less like my little baby I can't help but fall in love with her all over again. Look at this smile!!

10/14: Empty restaurants

We went out for dinner last night and maybe bc it was early or bc it was a Wednesday but the restaurant was pretty empty!  We had pretty fast service and the food came out super quick!

Shaded parks

I finally found a park that has shade! At least in the morning it has shade! It's not an amazing play area but it has the essentials. 

10/12: this guy

Outdoor play area

We went to Lake Ave on Pasadena and Chloe was able to play in the outdoor area while we ate our acai bowls.

TV distractions

Bc Alex & I were tired when we got home but Chloe was not. 

Playing with water

Because it was HOT outside today

Free books

Chloe got another free book from the doctor's office today!  It was the only highlight of the visit.  Here's a picture of her with her book as we wait for the doctor.

Free food

Family nap time

When were able to nap while Chloe naps. 

10/3: timing

Yearly meet ups
