new restaurants

SQ and I love to go around our neighborhood trying out new restaurants. This weekend we tried out two places.

LOU'S CAFE (on Geary, between 14th and 15th)
This place opened about 4 months ago. We found it via Yelp. They serve sandwiches, soup and coffee. We ordered the LLB Special (roast beef, turkey, ham on Dutch crunch). It comes with Lou's special sauce and jalapeno sauce. Also ordered a custom sandwich with chicken breast and avocado. We also ordered a cup of clam chowder. I must say that I absolutely love everything we ordered! the clam chowder was really delicious, even better than Boudins IMO. Nice service and clean atmosphere. I would definitely come back.

SAWAII RAMEN (on Irving between 23rd and 24th)
This place also just opened. It used to be Macau Friends before it went under. We ordered the fried tofu as appetizer. The tofu came in a plate with the sauce. The tofu was a bit soggy because of the sauce. I think I would have liked the sauce on a separate plate. We also ordered the pork ramen. Really disappointed with the meal. While the soup and noodles tasted fine, the bowl only included 3 pieces of cha siu, seaweed, bamboo shoot, and wood ear. That was it. No bean sprouts, no egg, no fish cake, no red ginger. So it was kinda blah.

Crib

After letting Sarah sleep three months between the Pack N Play and the bassinet, we finally got Sarah's crib set up yesterday. The crib is hand me down from her cousin but is in very good shape. We even picked up the hand me down crib set. The theme is stars and moon. A lot of blue but there is some yellow to balance! I guess this fits in perfectly with her bedtime story, "Goodnight Moon!"

Shopping mindset for my lovable Sarah

Today I took the bus to Downtown SF. It is actually a pleasant direct ride on MUNI and the only way to go. No rush and no worries about parking. I went primarily to Old Navy and GAP, since their Friends & Family discount event (30% off!) starts today. In both stores, I found myself subconsciously walking straight to the Baby section. I didn't even bother one second to look in the Women section for clothes for myself! How did my shopping mindset change so fast? Now, it's all about my baby, my baby, my baby. :) Well, why wouldn't I constantly think of my baby Sarah? She gives me a "morning smile" every day when she wakes up from her sleep! And yesterday night, Sarah was especially lovable - she slept from midnight to 7am! 7 hours of continuous sleep - Love, Love Love!

Short Arms or Big Head?

I noticed that Sarah's arms are the same length as her head. Look at this picture and you'll see what I mean. So does she have a big head or just short arms? LOL! Well, according to websites & doctors, the baby's head grows at a faster rate than the body, but the body will eventually catch up. I guess the big head to small body ratio is what makes all babies so damn cute.

Anyhoo, I took Sarah to her 2-month wellness check-up this week and here are her stats:

Weight - 10 lb 10 oz (39% tile)
Height - 22.75" (61% tile)
Head Circumference - 15.75" (77% tile)

Sarah also took all her 2-month vaccinations and she did really well! A loud scream and a beet-red face that lasted only 10 seconds...and then she's back to her normal self. Good job, baby!
