finished ian's blanket on this past sunday. ian went again for his synagis. he was such a good boy...didn't really cry until later tonight when i tried to put him to bed. howled like no tomorrow. :P

merii kurisumasu! shinnen omedatou!



finished tsutomu's hat this morning! :P i think it's a little small. dpns are interesting to use. used the hat knitted in the round pattern from the knit stitch (the knitting experience, book 1) by sally melville.



it was worth it going to daly city. i saw so much love for ian from his grandpa and his auntie. too cute...it brought tears to my eyes to see the "dad" that dave always talked about...the really great side of his dad. he really cares about ian so much. i'm glad things are going so well. sometimes distance does make the heart grow fonder and the birth of a child can really bring new life to something that has been stagnant for so long. prayers do make a big difference.

working on 4 knitting projects:



still on my son's blanket

a hat for my son

a scarf for my husband

a hat for my friend tsutomu.

haven't updated the lj and my blog in a while. motherhood :) and just too damned lazy to turn on the computer. oh and how my husband just loves ROME, the game not the city...although it would be nice to visit rome too.



thanksgiving was great...we cooked, we talked, we ate...and we passed out. i ate so much that i thought that i would explode. i made my pumpkin pies. yah.



ian has been smiling, cooing and gurgling. it's so cute...we have it on video. yeup.



email has been finally checked.



and motherhood...the whole advice of letting the baby "cry-it-out" ...is debated by dr.sears!

i found this article mentioned in the preemies community! in fact, read the whole article! it's very informative.

today boo-boo had his second round of synagis. he had a tiny head cold in the last few days before this injection, but the saline drops and cold air humidifier are doing well for his nose.
