Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today is Daddy’s birthday.  In preparation for his birthday, I looked to Addison’s blog to find out what did he do last year, with Addison, on his birthday, hoping to get some ideas on his preference on birthday celebration.  What I learned was that the didn’t go anywhere last year.  Instead he just stayed home.  So, I thought I should get him out of the house this year, since he hasn’t been to anywhere outside of the house other than the grocery store since I was born.  More importantly, this is Daddy’s first birthday with me.  It’s only the right thing to do, to do something special to celebrate this big day with him, right?

So what can I do to get him out of the house? 

It wasn’t until Noon that I’ve finally figured a way to get him to take me out of the house!  I remember back when I was in the hospital getting ready to be discharged, the nurse told Mommy and Daddy that if I have any projectile vomiting, I need to be taken to the doctor right away.  So I thought why not have Daddy take me to the Doctor on his birthday to celebrate? 

In order to have something to vomit, in case you don’t know, you’ll need either 1)  plenty of alcoholic beverages, or in my case, 2)  milk.  So shortly after my early afternoon feeding, I performed a basic projectile-style vomiting.  No, Daddy didn’t freak out.  In fact, I did a projectile-style vomit just yesterday, and Daddy told Mommy not to worry.  But to celebrate Daddy’s birthday today, I made sure my vomit today is worth a trip to the Doctor’s office, at least in Mommy’s mind.  I figured if I scare Mommy enough, she will bug the crap out of Daddy to take me to the Doctor’s office.  Having Grandma (Tong) on-site helped too, as Daddy had to answer to two concerning individuals, and not just one.

Mission accomplished! 

Mommy and Daddy called the Doctor’s office for an appointment and took me to the Doctor while Addison was taking his afternoon nap.  It was a very short and quick trip to the Doctor because the Doctor knew, as well as I did, that I’m doing this just to celebrate Daddy’s birthday.  Still, the Doctor put up a good show by checking me here and there. 

“Her weight gain is good; Just give her extra time to digest her food.  If the vomiting continues, bring her back tomorrow.”  the Doctor said.

Oh the Doctor also assured Daddy, once again, that my skin color looks fine!

So here’s my first un-planned Doctor’s visit… just to celebrate Daddy’s birthday, of course!

Later in the evening, Grandma and Grandpa made a surprise visit.  They brought dinner and had dinner with all of us.  After dinner, there was even a birthday cake for Daddy.  Below is a video and some pictures taken from today.
