Gimme some noodles, Daddy!

Like father like son, Adrian is already a fan of ramen! Unfortunately, all Adrian got was a couple of licks on the side of the bowl. Not to worry, son! A whole new world of noodles await you as soon you're ready to upgrade to grown-up food! :)

My double double eyelids

Most Asians aren't as priviledged when it comes to having double eyelids. When I was born, my eyes were tiny and I certainly didn't have any double eyelids. Then in January, as mentioned in my earlier post, a double eyelid suddenly appeared in my left eye. This came much to the surprise of my Mummy who thought I'd be double eyelid-less! Since January, Mummy has been wondering when the other one will crop up on my right eye. Less than a month later, that day has finally arrived -- I am now sporting a pair of double eyelids! Yay for me (and Mummy)! :)

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Here's wishing you a fabulous birthday, Grandma! May 2009 bring you lots of happiness, wealth and good health! :)

6-Month Wellness Check-up

Getting comfy on the scales. Of course the diaper were removed for the weigh-in as I wouldn't want to fudge the numbers! :)

Well, I am officially 6 months and 5 days old! Today, Mummy and Daddy brought me into the clinic for my 6-month wellness check-up! I measure 27.5 inches tall and weigh 18 lb 3 oz (75% and 48% percentile with respectively). Dr. Pediatrician said I'm growing and developing at a healthy rate. I couldn't help but notice that she and my parents were discussing the topic of baby food. Ooooh baby food! Little does she know that I'm already a huge fan of solids! Sometimes much to Mummy's embarrassment because I can detect food from "a mile away" and my eyes are capable of quickly darting away from what I was focusing on onto the food (in any shape or form, and whether it's in a bowl, plate or even in a cup) even if it's not intended for me. For some reason, I'm intrigued by all of the stuff that the grown ups gets to eat. I can't wait until I get to try them too! :)

I can rollover from my back onto my tummy from either sides now, but I seldom roll back over from my tummy back onto my back. Mummy has witnessed this momentous occasion, but I rarely repeat it. While on my back (usually while getting my diaper changed), I love to scoot my whole body towards my feet. It's not that I have an itchy back or anything, it's just that I still don't know what else to do with my body. There's an Elmo walker that I chill in at Grandma's and boy am I good at getting from point A to B. For the most part, I can steer the walker pretty well for a 6-month old! The walker is set to the second to highest setting (partly due to my long limbs) and enough for me to plant my two feet firmly on the ground. Mummy and Daddy prefer it this way as they don't want me to walk on my tipsy toes when that day finally arrives.

Daddy holding me after braving 4 shots and an oral injection. 4 shots instead of the standard 3 because I'm old enough for the two-step flu shot. I'll be heading back in a month for part 2 and I'm not looking forward to it! :(

Happy Lunar New Year!

Wishing you a happy and successful Year of the Ox!

My New High Chair

Mummy and Daddy got me a uber cool trendy looking high chair by Boon, model name Flair. It rolls really well on the surface of the kitchen floor. Not only do I get to eat in my chair, but I also get to chill with Mummy and Daddy when they're busy cooking or cleaning in the kitchen.

I'm already enjoying rice cereals, Gerber Stage 1 and 2 baby food. So far, I'm a big fan of sweet potatoes and squash. Fresh fruit are also very yummy too! Mummy and Daddy are always sharing their fruits with me and they don't seem to mind that I get my face and fingers all sticky. I also loooove to drink H2O! Don't worry, I'm still consuming several 5oz bottles of Mummy's milk everyday, but I sure love the variety of food I'm getting.

Stroller A or B?

Mummy and daddy are shopping around for a spanking new stroller for moi! Which of the two strollers do I look groovy in?



Note: The red stroller is missing some of its accessories.
