I ventured out with 2 babies last week. Well….. to our backyard. :-p

Lia is playing her water table she got from Da A Yi…

While Eli is having sun tanning section…

We’ll go further out next time…

While hanging with her “real” aunties in San Diego, Lia demonstrates the proper way of answer a cell phone…

When Lia wants to play a toy, no one stands in her way!

When I read the story of Winnie the Pooh to Lia, I read the part about the honey from the bees, and Lia exclaimed “Daddy’s ‘honey’!” (reference to what Karen calls me). When we asked “then what’s mommy?” she answered, “pooh bear”!

Here’s a little clip in San Diego.  My mom said something about “in the basket”, and Lia started dancing…

Karen had her first ever ultrasound, where for around 10 mins a technician probed every angle she could and identified various parts of the baby. While some parent may unleash as much tears as the Alaskan River at the view of the black and white blur, Karen and I endured the session until the one image that we cared about most arrived…

Boy or girl? You didn’t think I’d make it *that* easy, did you?  🙂  Now let the guessing game begin!

(Click on the image for a larger view. Hint: Pretend the baby is sitting on a glass table, and the picture is taken from the bottom)

We will be having our first ultrasound on Tuesday, when the truth shall be revealed. Which will it be? Boy or girl?
