"want to go to ucla"

"mama, thumbs up!"

look in the camera, nj...

now say, cheeeeeeeese!

oh my, someone needs their teeth brushed and face cleaned!

morning blood test at ucla, we got a late start so we had brunch at noah's bagels. love it! we used to live near one in pasadena, but now we don't really have much chance to go. i thought about calling his auntie sherry and uncle matt to see their new place, but i wasn't sure she'd be up yet. and i'm sure he would've wanted to see cousin cooper, but i still have my cough. :( it's best i stay at home anyway. we missed going to hope, maybe next week if my white blood count is better. we sat to eat our bagels and nj his challah bread, and baba said, "this is nice". yes, it is! i'm amazed at how he can just sit in his chair and eat nicely like a good boy. and clearly, he was enjoying himself! before we finished up, we asked him if he needed to pee since we still had the drive home. he said no, but baba said, "let's try, just in case". and he went, that made us happy.
