I'm off to the Hermosa Beach library story time with Linda now! 
Surprised? I'm on another SLIDE!
I love these rocking things -- whatever animal this one is.
Can you believe it? Yes, it's REALLY me! It only took me about 1.5 hrs to warm up to the idea of getting my hands dirty in the sand! When I got home, my white pants actually had dirty spots.
Here is my friend Riley with me in the sand. She loves climbing and getting messy. I'm learning to be 'active' from her, and she's learning the potty from me.
Mommy went to see Dr. Rosenberg today, and my baby sister is very healthy. She is likely as large as I was. I'm putting my bet on a 9-pounder like our daddy was as a newborn. Poor Mommy, huh?
Mommy has two more doctor appointments before her C-section on April 8.
I can't believe I'm going to be a big sister!!!
Love, Sedona
And as you well know from yesterday's entry, I love SLIDES! Look what I found on this slide: an Easter egg! I like eggs, because they look like balls, but I can take them apart. I also like to say "egg" and "eggy."
Look at me driving ... I wonder if Mommy will let me drive her Cayenne.
After playing outdoors we got to sing songs with pompons. I love them, but Mommy doesn't seem as excited about it. She did go searching in six different locations for pompons for me to have at home, however; it's not her fault Party City makes crummy ones that fall apart.
This is a picture from last Sunday; the Lakers were playing the Houston Rockets. We lost. At this point I realize Daddy is going to have to work long into the playoffs so I might as well be supportive. You might think it to be a bit lame that I have a Kobe No. 8 instead of the updated Kobe No. 24, but consider this: Aunt Sara bought this in 1999, when Mommy and Daddy started dating. She was that certain way back then that they would make me, sooner or later!
Love,
Did you see my cool Nikes? Daddy got me a bunch of gear at his beloved Nike Employee Store in Portland, and we find endless enjoyment in finding swooshes on my stuff or his stuff. After some lunch and fun in the yard, we started the egg hunt ...
I was kind of shy in the beginning, as is my way, but Mommy and Lulu really tried to make me comfortable so I wouldn't go home empty-egg-handed.
See, I got comfortable! Yay! I have three more egg hunts this week (because Mommy helps keep me happily sociable). Today was a practice round. I'm geared up to go again tomorrow at Mommy & Me class.
After all that activity, I kicked back and chilled in Raychel's cool chair. I want one of these, but I don't think my daddy is going to go for it. Maybe if Nike made one ...
We're home! I love helping Mommy get the mail. It's something I really look forward to every day. I consider it my little way to help out around the house.
After all that, we still had time to play with Lulu's dog, Toffee, before my nap. I got to feed Toffee treats and he would "sit" or "roll over." It was super fun. I wish Inu were as easily trainable and as well behaved as Toffee is ... or as I am!
Doggies are fun. But I also like my new pet fish (not pictured). I call him, "Ish." (That's short for "Fish." Ha!)
Love,
From left: Loretta, Betty, me, Whitney, Patty (missing Kathy and Elizabeth)Here are the beautiful real and balloon flowers I got -- along with some fun gifts. Thank you!!
Jennie had flown in from Houston for the mini-shower, but I had no clue Sara (& Mike) had come to town from Dallas. It was super sweet and meant a lot to me. Thank you!
Tahneetra, Cornell & Anaya (she's our Montessori school inspiration) came, too!
Here are my TAP girls!
(Vicky, me, Peggy, Lulu & Sophia -- minus Jenn)
Here are some more of my gal pals. I wish I had a photo with EVERYONE.
(Geena, Leslie, Jennie, Anita, Mom, Sedona & me)
I'm pretty sure Sedona thought it was her party, and well, she was really the center of attention, as usual. She passed the time looking for babies and/or belly-buttons.
She starts here with her mommy ...
And moves on to Daddy ... 
Then follows up with Anaya! 
Here's our family with Geena & Felix (Thank you, FX! He helped a lot in setting this up!)
And here is the whole greater family! Guess which one Sedona calls "Turtle." (Hint: second from the right.)
And a special bonus thanks to the party sponsors, my dearest parents. I love you. Thank you for making sure my 30th birthday will be so memorable. 
I am beyond grateful for all the people in my life. Thank you!
I'm super excited about turning 30 and adding a new baby girl to our family. I look forward to creating many more memories with each and every one of you.
One more thank you to those who were able to attend: Sara & Mike; Tahneetra, Cornell & Anaya; Betty; Whitney; Patty, Larry, Bryce & Natalie; Vicky & Dennis; Sophia; Peggy; Patty; Lulu & Ray; Randy; Rosa; Diana; Anita & Jason; Leslie; Jennie; Kristen, Mitch, Atticus & Skyler; Dad & Mom Ding; Felix & Geena; Mag & Sarah; Dad & Mom Wang; Kevin & Sedona.
Love, Maggie
Because Mommy likes to eat sweets (she thinks it is because she is pregnant, but Daddy says she always likes sweets), they had a cookie cake and then added more by going to Sprinkles for the famous cupcakes afterward!
Thank you! Baby Ding II really appreciates you not forgetting about her.
... and shoot some pool.
Then we got in line for red envelopes ...
My turn ...
Yay! All mine!!
