Family

Our happy little family out and about on an unusually warm mid-November afternoon. Adrian enjoyed being bobbed along in the comfort of the baby Bjorn that was securely fastened onto daddy. Adrian was also sporting a cool hat to shield his cute cherubic face from the strong sun rays.

3 Month Update

So I just turned THREE MONTHS old and I'm beginning to notice some major improvement in my ability to wave my arms and kick my legs. During the rare few moments when I'm not swaddled or when my arms escape from the wrath of the receiving blanket, I take full advantage in my freedom to wave and kick madly around. My hands have discovered my mouth and I enjoy placing both fists in my mouth. I haven't ventured into sucking my thumb yet, but there have been a few occasions where my thumb mistakenly makes its way to my mouth. Mummy & daddy have been extra careful not to leave me unattended because I have a tendency to roll to my right when I'm lying on my back. This might be the onset to my being able to roll over soon!

My neck muscle is pretty strong for a 3-month old thanks to all of the tummy time that Mummy & Daddy have given me. They FINALLY brought out the cool box that was sitting in the storage room and collecting dust for me to play with. And it's a..... Jumparoo! Thanks to Uncle Stephen & Auntie Jinny, I get to jump up and down, and listen to the cool music and see varying lights go off.

Check me out chilling in my Jumparoo! It's way cool!



(In case you're wondering, yes that's me on a Wii Fit. Since I'm still small and my feet doesn't quite reach the floor, my quick thinking parents figured this would help in allowing me to plant my feet firmly down. It's not like they have time to play on the Wii anyways!)

Gettin' Jiggy Wit It

Mummy captured me dancing (and sneezing) to an episode of "Dancing with the Stars."

My 2 month check-up

<-- Here I am at my 2 month check up! I'm feeling a bit shy before I strip down into my birthday suit for the big weigh in.










<-- And the scale reads 12lbs 2oz!!!

<-- Daddy held me to comfort me after I braved THREE shots and ingested a fourth medication orally.









Dr. Pediatrician said I'm doing great. I am 23.25 inches tall, weigh 12.2 lbs with a head circumference of 40cm. I am in the 59%, 58.66% and 48.97% percentile respectively.

One month update

Hi Ya! Sorry it has been a while since my first blog, but this past month has been an eventful one for me. First of all, I fought and "won"my battle with jaundice and then I had to tackle a fever of 102 degrees. Thankfully, I was feeling 100% better by the time of my red egg & ginger party.

To back-track. Mummy introduced me to tummy time during week 2 and let me tell you --- I LOOOOOVE tummy time! On some days, I can lift my head to the left and then to the right, while on other days, I just exercise my neck muscles by lifting it up high. That way, I can also look around and stare at all the cool things in my room. I'm getting really good at lifting my head up so I can't wait for the next challenge that mummy introduces me to.

My umbilical cord stump finally dropped off at just over 2.5 weeks. Gone are the days of the sponge bath. Now, I get to "chill" in a tub! I absolutely loooove bath time. Michael Phelps watch out -- I'm only a baby, but boy do I have a mean kick. Mummy told me that when I'm a bit older, she and daddy are going to take me swimming. I can't wait!!! I already don't mind getting water splashed all over my face. In fact, I enjoy every second of it. I think I should be on track to take swimming lessons soon! :)

Mummy and daddy threw a biiiiiiig red egg & ginger party at my one month mark and it felt great to be the guest of honor! I got to meet lots of familyand friends who spoiled me with lots of gifts and red envelopes. I'm not sure what's inside of them, but it felt cool to be the center of attention. Mummy and daddy kept complimenting on how well behaved I was that day. They said that I was not one bit fussy and slept through all of the conversations that were happening around me. I also woke up to take pictures and didn't mind being passed around for the pictures.

Oh and Grandma Tran gave me my first haircut! Yup, I was sporting a nice 'do for my red egg & ginger party! Thanks Grandma!! :)

Mum's still taking a gazillion pictures of me so feel free to take a peek at my gallery.
