Baby & Parent Pilates

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've not posted for awhile.

For the past few Thursdays, DOJ and I have gone to a "Baby and Me" pilates course at Movement Lab pilates studio. We learned about it from Ilaria (Lucas' mother), who asked the instructor Julie to set up a "Baby and Me" pilates course. So now twice a week a baby and parent can go to a class. We go on Thursdays at 4:30. This past week, Ilaria/Lucas and Julie/Rowan were also there.

Sometimes I've really teased DOJ by having an EXTRA LONG nap, so that I'll arrange to wake up around 4:28pm, making both of us late but still there by 4:40pm. It's not great to be late, but it's fun to see DOJ squirm as he wonders if he'll be able to even attend the class! The instructor is really nice (she's a mommy plus she's pregnant), so that it's okay that we're late.

Enjoy the pictures. I'm off to have a nap :D

Aunt Nancy & Uncle Glenn visit me over Labor Day Weekend 2009

It's been awhile but at long last I am posting some pictures and memories from Labor Day 2009. Aunt Nancy and Uncle Glenn visited and met me for the first time. It was a great visit! We spent time at home, visited with family and friends, and saw various parts of San Francisco!
Here we are in front of the Grateful Dead house in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. We also went to a chocolate cafe and the Giant Robot store.
Aunt Nancy and me in Golden Gate Park.
Uncle Glenn and me at Yank Sing for dim sum - the Mobranskys and Heymans also joined us there.
In front of Cupid's Arrow on the Embarcadero. In August 2005, Nancy and Glenn got engaged right at this spot!
With my other Aunt and Uncle! We all got together at Il Fornaio for Monday night dinner.
I got to see Aunt Nancy and Uncle Glenn in Chicago in October and Thanksgiving. I can't wait for them to return!

Happy 9 month birthday to Ruby!

The final week of February in a blur...

Late late, and a post *senza* pictures...
But here's a recap of the last week of Julien's first February:

Saturday Feb 20: we bought a new car seat and new stroller at Citikids!

Sunday Feb 21: a late family lunch at Rosamunde's Sausage Grill (Mission/24th) with Stephanie, Itzik, and Lily. It was their first time to meet MOJ :) Stef taught us how to use our Bundle Me with our new stroller, hurray! Then as MOJ had Pilates, Julien and I simply strolled home in the new stroller, which felt *extremely* easy, even going up Folsom to Bernal Hill. Wooh!

Monday Feb 22: lunch at Sally's with Mogzilla (Mother of Groomzilla); later a park date at the Bryant & 17th Street playground with Caelen (und Buffy) and Lucas (e Ilaria). After the playground, we all went to Coffee Bar for coffee. It's a gorgeous industrial space with the seating upstairs, so we each took turns on the wheelchair service elevator with our babies in strollers :)

Tuesday Feb 23: the heavy rain didn't stop our family from going to the Baby Matinee - we got to see Valentine Day! We also ran into one of MOJ's former coworkers (who attended my alma mater); he just had his 2nd child 2 weeks ago. After a luncheon at Rigolo, we drove home and Julien fell asleep before his playgroup.

Wednesday Feb 24: we went to Baby Rhyme Time at the Bernal Heights library with Shuyi and Ruby. Lisa and Ollie (from playgroup) were also there. Then we headed to Holly Park and Ruby and Julien enjoyed some fun swinging time. Maybe a picture next blog post?

Thursday Feb 25: another lunch at Sally's with Mogzilla, simply because I enjoy meals there! Despite a long afternoon nap, I still made it to Baby & Me mat pilates at Movement Lab. Fun mat class - Julien and I will commit to going every Thursday!

Friday Feb 26: Julien and I met Kate and Druvy at Precita Park for some fun swings activity, before we all abandoned park due to heavy rains. Got to the car just in time :) Thankfully I hadn't attempted to stroll down! Friday afternoon was a very nice day to just stay home...
