We had a wonderful fun packed weekend, and now it has come to a close. The weekend started with Chloe walking!!! She took a bunch of steps on Friday night, and I caught it on video. We’re so proud of her, but now, we have 2 walking babies to chase around the house.

On Saturday, we just couldn’t pass up the great weather and decided to go out. Our two choices were the Tut exhibit at the de young Museum, or to the Tea Cake Bake Shop in Emeryville. Due to several events in San Francisco that had shut down streets, we opted to stick with Emeryville. While at the Bay Street shopping center, we went to Ikea, had lunch at the Zao Noodle House, and picked up some sweets at the Tea Cake Bake Shop.

This weekend’s firsts didn’t end with Chloe walking. The kids also had several other first foods. While at the Zao Noodle House, the kids ate Vietnamese Pho. They had it with rice. Today, after swimming lessons, we picked up some Filipino food. The kids had Lumpia Shanghai and Pancit for the first time too, and they loved it! Finally, for dinner, they had hot dogs with Hawaiian bread.

Video and a picture gallery is attached. Enjoy!

Chloe had her second swimming lesson today. Sebastian had to miss it cause he’s a little sick, but Annie was able to get some video of Chloe and me!

The kids caught a cold, and have been fighting if off since Monday. We’re hoping that they are better by tomorrow.

Brief post. The kids have their first swimming lessons tomorrow!!! We’re all packed for few hours in the water. I think it’ll be a great time for the kids. I’ll post pictures as long as the camera doesn’t fall into the pool

Sebastian took his first steps on June 6, 2009! He was in the kitchen and just decided to walk, so I grabbed the video camera and grabbed a few more shots. Here is a video of him.

Chloe will catch up quickly to her older brother.

Annie and I have decided to enroll Chloe and Sebastian into swimming lessons! There is a place near our house called the American Swim Academy (http://www.americanswimacademy.com). They have an Aqua Babies program that goes from 6 to 36 months! Since Annie and I are big on water activities (sailing, scuba diving, and just hanging out in a pool), we feel it’s a good idea for the kids to get comfortable in the water sooner rather than later. Also, it just seems like a fun way to spend time with the kids. Here is a video about the Aqua Babies program.

They have both clapped before, but this is the first time I caught it on video.
