Standing... (with assistance)

Here I am standing (with Mummy's help). Although I haven't quite mastered the skill of crawling, I think I'll be an eager beaver and skip it and go right onto walking.... :)

Another crib recall...

Now that we're parents, the word "recall" when associated with any baby-related product sets off a red alarm for us. Today, an announcement was made that "Stork Craft Baby Cribs pose suffocation risk" -- more than 500,000 cribs are now being recalled! If you're an avid blog reader of ours, you would recall that our first choice crib was issued a recall just days prior to when we were about to place our order. Our next choice and the crib we ended up purchasing have now joined the ranks of the term that I've coined, "crib recall heaven."

We tried calling the consumer hot-line for Stork Craft baby cribs and to no surprise to anyone, the line was busy...

Poor Hummingbird

On my way into the office this morning, I almost stepped on this little guy. He was sitting in the middle of the pathway in the parking lot. At first I thought he was dead, but he moved a little when I was trying to nudge him off the sidewalk. Poor guy couldn't fly anymore or tuck his wings back in place after stretching them. After unsuccessfully trying to pawn him off for $20 (hey, I need diaper money!), I placed him at the bottom of a tree in the sun.

Update: I just checked on him after lunch, and I'm afraid he's gone up to birdie heaven... :(

Rest in peace...

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Come next year, I'll be "big enough" to help Alan and Ethan in blowing out the candles! :)

My New Double Eyelid

Out of the blue, and almost 5 1/2 months since birth -- a double eyelid has emerged on my left eye. Mummy has been waiting for this day for a while now and is praying for the appearance of the other one to "even things out."

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

It's too bad that the lines at the Academy of Sciences were too long today. Nevertheless, I had a fun time sharing this special day with you and Mummy at Golden Gate Park.

Wishing you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Daddy! I hope this is your "bestest" birthday ever since you got to celebrate it with Mummy AND me! :)

P.S Sorry for looking away from the camera when this picture was taken -- it's just that I find the outside to be very stimulating, especially at the park where there are tons of kids to play with.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous 2009!
