Play date: Brooklyn Children's museum

Picture
Nina and Miko, in front of turtles. Later, some boy ran into her, and tried to hug and kiss her. When we were at the cafeteria, the same boy was there, he came back to her and tried to push her stroller. She's already a trouble maker.

Nina and Miko checked out the Brooklyn Children's Museum. We only had a couple hours left when we got there, and spent most of time at the area that are for older kids. But at the end, we found the area that are for infants and young toddlers. It's probably a great place to go when the weather is not good. We'll be back sometime.

Snack ideas: apple chips

Picture

Gave it a try, hoping to give her something natural and healthy. She used like a teether till it got soft enough for her to actually eat. She seemed to enjoy it. It tasted sweet and crispy.

Play date at Pier 6

To view the rest of photos , visit my flickr.
Nina had another Springy outdoor play date with double Akira (Girl Akira and Boy Akira) at Pier 6 of Brooklyn Bridge park. Because it was still a little chilly and windy, the sandbox was nearly empty, so we had a fantastic time in a private playground.  It was very interesting to watch how they interact each other. They appeared to be old enough to recognize each other and were very touchy, as well. After a while, we got hungry so we moved to a cafe nearby. Luckily the cafe wasn't crowded either, and we were able to sit down with two high chairs and three strollers parked next to our seat. It was some adventure to have a sit-down lunch with three kids. We each fed the kids to keep them occupied while we ate. They made some noise, but they were good over all.

8 months 3 weeks: Practicing with a walker

Picture

Papa trains Nina walking with a walker. She's a daughter of her papa, meaning she doesn't like anything dangerous, and she's causious about her safety. This walker, by nature is not stable enough for her to feel safe. So she was hesitant to use it. But Little by little, she's getting used to it.

Visiting Granma & Granpa

A day trip to Connecticut. Granma & Granpa was very happy to see Nina for the first time since they got back from Florida after 6 weeks. She now crawls around everywhere, and messes whatever she can reach. She seemed very happy hanging out with them, too.

We visited Jonah n Alyse in Fort Green, Brooklyn. Nina got a little shy when we first got there. But soon she got warmed up, and loved hanging out with the most kid-friendly couple. We took a stroll to the sculpture park inside Pratt Institute and had some picnic. We had a lovely Saturday afternoon. Thanks, J&A.

Nina messes with Nami's sun glasses. She does that to me all the time.

It was a beautiful spring day here in NYC. We took a ride to Prospect Park and had a picnic with Mahiro and Nami. Though the sun was intense at times, the lawn was brown and wet. We brought a lunch and strolled afterward. Nina is liking her new stroller, too. We hope to be back soon.

Nina's first swimsuit

Picture

Nina signed up for her first swimming lesson starting the end of this month. For that occasion, I got her a lemon colored swimsuit. The swimsuit is for 18 months so it looks too big for a 8 months-old. But I'm hoping that she'll grow in by this summer.

Picture

Meantime, she's busy with developing her motor skill. She gets up and down hundreds of times a day, crawls to one room to the other. And finally she tried to get up to the handle of a walker, which we've been trying to introduce her to. She's a little scared about the fact that it moves forward as she gets up. But it's a big step toward walking by herself.

This is how she rides nowadays

Picture

I'm still in search for the next stroller, which should be light-weight, easy to fold/carry around, with a roomy storage. Meanwhile, this is what I have to put up with. Everybody looks at her smiling, and she loves to smile back.
