I bet most of you remember this video…
First of all, that’s Addison and not me! Now, this is me…
Now, I don’t know why Daddy likes to do this stupid eye test. But now I do know how hard did Addison try not to laugh at Daddy when Daddy does stupid things like this.
Can someone tell Daddy not to do this again?
Although Addison is now generally less jealous of me these days, I still don’t spend that much time alone with Daddy especially during the day. So this afternoon, when Mommy sent Daddy to take me upstairs to change my diaper, I took the advantage and cracked a smile at Daddy. Well, he got so excited that he immediately grab his HD Camcorder and started talking to me hoping that I will give him another smile. Did it happen? Find out yourself!
Unfortunately, he just wouldn’t stop there.
Why? Because I couldn’t get to sleep. Why? Because I wanted someone to hold me. I fall asleep much faster when someone is holding me in his/her arms. I also wake up a lot faster if that same person tries to put me back down onto my bassinet. So this morning, Daddy was the lucky one who got to hold me to sleep.
These pictures were taken earlier this afternoon. What do you think? Does the headband make my head looks big?
First it was 23.
Then it was 21.
Dr. Liu told Daddy that my test result is at 18. However, Dr. Liu is still not too satisfied with the result and scheduled us to return to her office next week FOR ANOTHER BLOOD TEST!
The numbers are already dropping! What’s her problem!?
We started off the day with me going to Dr. Liu’s office for another blood test. I’m sad to say that but drawing blood seems to become a routine for me. But I still cried out loud when the nurse poke a hole on my foot. No, we didn’t bring the camera either because it was just another blood test.
Right after my blood test, I went back home for a quick nap. By around 3pm, it was time for Mommy to go see her doctor. Since Grandma (Tong) has been staying with us for the past few days, she was able to look after Addison at home, while Mommy, Daddy, and Myself headed out to the Doctor.
Based on what I’ve heard from Mommy’s doctor, Dr. Chen, everything is good with Mommy too! Which is a very good news!
Later that evening, Daddy took this video while he was chatting with me.
Now that Mommy has to stop breastfeeding me for 2 days, it’s about time for Daddy and I to spend some time doing Father and Daughter bonding! Look at these pictures! Can’t you tell that I enjoy being held inside Daddy’s arms?
Just a quick re-cap. I scored a 23 last time.
Today, I scored a 21.
Dr. Liu told Daddy that it’s good that the number is going down, but a ‘21’ is still too high.
Dr. Liu told Mommy to stop breastfeeding, again, for 2 more days before resuming and we are scheduled to return to the Doctor’s office for another blood test next week.
…means that I have to go through another painful episode of drawing blood. Mommy didn’t have the camera this time because both Grandmas are not available, and Daddy had to stay in the car with Addison to wait for us. Daddy didn’t want to bring Addison to the Doctor’s office fearing that that naughty Addison might pick up some virus when his hands will be touching just about everything. We shall get the result later this afternoon.
The Jaundice test result came back and I scored a 23. Dr. Liu said it is high, and Mommy needs to stop breastfeeding me for 24 hours and return to Dr. Liu’s office for another blood test. Just when I thought I could have something else to eat other than milk, Daddy kindly informed me that I will be on formula for the time being. How boring!
I just had my 1-Month Check-up today. Everything went well, of course, except for 1 thing! The same thing that Daddy has been mentioning to the doctor during the past 2 visits… Jaundice! Remember Daddy kept mentioning to the Doctor that I looked yellow? Well, instead of wearing a yellow shirt, Daddy decided to wear a black shirt so that nobody can blame his shirt for my yellow-ish looking skin color. It turned out that a change of shirt was rather convincing. Dr. Liu finally agreed that I do looked a bit yellow (contrary to my personal observation), and ordered a blood test. A blood test!? How about I’ll just wear a different color scheme of outfit? I’m sure it will make me look less yellow-ish. Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option.
Before we get to the scary stuff at the Doctor’s office, let’s start with some routine measurements.
Right after the measurement, we were waiting in the examination room for a while before the doctor showed up. During this time, Daddy took this video…
Now comes the ‘ouchy’ stuff!
Well, I’m okay. I survived. So there is no need to send me toys, dolls, jewelry, nor cosmetics to help me with my pain. However, Daddy said if my blood test came back with a ‘naughty’ result, I might have to do this again.
Although we have never met, I’ve heard that you are not particularly interested in shopping, especially when it comes to clothes. At least that’s what Daddy told me. That’s too bad! Because I know things would have been different had you met me. I’m confident that you would shower me with dolls and clothes from Day 1.
Anyway, wherever you are now, Happy 60th Birthday to you!
Yes, I’m exactly 1 month old today! But where’s everybody? I looked at Addison’s Blog to find out how he celebrated his 1-Month old milestone, and I noticed that there were lots of people visiting him at that time. Where is that mean lady? Looking at that first video of her holding Addison, I really think that she was saying some very bad grown-up words (that starts with the letter ‘F’) to Addison, just to try to get Addison to stop crying. Maybe Daddy was really mean to her when they were young, and therefore, she thought that it was her opportunity to take it out on Addison? Anyway, I’ve heard from Daddy that she has lost some hair lately. I hope she’s doing okay.
What about Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Chris? They were seen in the next 2 videos holding Addison too! Where are they? I’ve heard that they bought all kinds of toys for Addison when he turned 1-month old. I guess I can always keep track of what they owe me, and ask them to pay-up at a later time. But come on, you people, at least leave me a message on my Blog, just to wish me Happy 1-month old! Don’t worry, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
So how did I celebrate my 1-month old birthday? I really didn’t do much except for doing lots of sleeping and eating. Grandma (Tong) was here to celebrate this big day with me. Grandma (Chan) left last night, but she did make sure that there is a cake for celebration. Overall, it was a very simple celebration.
I’m getting a few emails asking me what the dress code will be for my official 滿月 (Full Month) Dinner Party. Come on, you people, what’s the rush!? I haven’t decided on where, and when, the official 滿月 dinner party will be held. As soon as I get the information, I will post it on this blog. So just check back regularly.
Here are some pictures taken from today.
It appears that my brother Addison has finally gotten over with his jealousy behavior against me. Lately, Mommy or Daddy are allowed to hold me in their arms, while Addison is around. Unfortunately, in an effort to train my Brother to show some love to me, Mommy and Daddy have been constantly asking him to give me kisses. The end result is that he’s now giving me kisses as if there’s no tomorrow! I don’t know if my boyfriends will like that!
Here are some pictures taken from today.
Not much had happened today. Daddy took a few pictures of me while I was asleep. Otherwise, I’ve been at home, just like almost every other day since I was born.
"I was fighting a flu." Uncle Joseph said.
That's the excuse he gave me for waiting for so long before paying a visit. But when I asked Addison if Uncle Joseph was telling the truth, Addison said 'No.'
"I think Uncle Joseph was just too busy taking pictures and eating!" Addison said.
Eating? Why? That's when I found out that Aunty Annie and Uncle Joseph are like me... a talented blogger! If you don't believe me, check out their blog here. When I grow up, they better be taking me BACK to all these restaurants that I couldn't go (with them) right now. Addison might not care, but I do.
Here are some pictures and a video taken from today.
Yes, I know I mentioned that I'm NOT going to go crazy about posting nude videos of me on this blog. But this is my first real bath, with real warm water. I felt that I must share. So watch it all you can before I change my mind.
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.
While working on my blog, I noticed that the following video was left out of my post from July 20th. Unfortunately, it’s just another video of my brother trying to get me to play that toy that makes that stupid noise. So please forgive me for putting you through another 2:25 minute of annoyance.
Daddy always come over to my room to see if I’m awake, and if so, he’ll spend some time with me if/when possible. Otherwise, when my jealous brother wakes up from his nap, he would require full attention from Daddy again.
Here are a few pictures taken from today during Addison’s nap time.
