Home call

Cruising at home today. Baby loves to hang with his buds: sir giraffe, explorer ball, Rudolph, & the others.   Getting more & more curious, he is.  Eating mom’s food today too. A special jook with extra preserved egg & bamboo shoots.  Some sugar snap peas for some crunch.  It was a hot one in the city today. The weekend is going to be a burn too! Baby’s not drinking water yet but…

Cutest baby award

After viewing all the contestants, I am proud to announce my baby won the Cutest Baby Award! Sure this wasn’t a real contest & I only considered my own baby, but he won nonetheless.  He is so charming. Yesterday during tummy time, he just sweetly smiled as he practicing “high-ups”. Lifting his head up is hard work! He makes it look easy.   This is definitely the most supremely sweetest thing that has ever…

Cute baby lottery

That’s what I felt I won.  He’s like, in the words of Dan: totes adorbs. He cries only when: Hungry Dirty diaper Tired Bored* *Not an exhaustive list People like to advise me that carrying baby all the time will spoil him. I won’t get anything done, they say.  You can’t spoil a baby.  At least that’s what the pediatrician tells me. I believe him.  Baby was #3 on this list, maybe a little #1…

This child

Is quite literally the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.  And I seek out cute things, like puppies & such.  So I’ve seen a lot of cute things.  But this baby? Oh my.  A whole new level. Even this morning, waking up a little disgruntled, a little hello & his gummy smile was shining from ear to ear.  After his breakfast, the little hairs on his head was standing up, in full ovation. …

Three months go by so fast

It’s like summer vacation. You’re jumping up & down because it’s summer break & next thing you know classes are back on.  Same thing with this baby.  Just born & boom! Three months old today.  Celebrated with a cake of the sponge variety. Not too sweet because that’s what Chinese people like. They hate ganache.  Happy three months, little Prince! We adore you so.

Laughable mornings

This little guy just wakes up glowing.  Now that he’s got his little routine down, mornings are usually pretty joyous.  After a decent night’s slumber, baby is all giggles & smiles.  It’s usually later in the day baby gets tired & wants to nap or uh, just be a little grouchy.  Before baby can even talk, he sure knows how to make his laughter infectious.

Happy twelve

Baby is a thrilling twelve weeks today! As with twelve week tradition, mom took his picture to document his cuteness at this fine accomplishment. Going to grandma’s house to celebrate baby’s milestone. Baby can now hold his head up for four minutes at a time during tummy time. He can roll from side to side (& all the way around, if we’re not careful!). He coos & ahhs. Wakes up smiling & laughing. Doesn’t usually…

Bedridden dumpling

My baby needs to feed so often, that getting out of bed is sometimes pointless. Good thing I have leftover dim sum that I eat out of the take out container in between feeds. Luckily I did some chores to feel accomplished today. I have my sights set on cleaning the top of my dresser, so I can feel like this was a productive Monday. Baby, however, has other plans. He insists on back-to-back feedings…

My little heart cannot yet have cookies

Cookies from Guang Guang are a mere prop for an almost 11-week-old baby. It’s okay, he’s never had a cookie and thus, does not know what heaven he is missing out on. This little angel excites me with every grin, frown, and even spit-up. Okay, not the last one. He’s enjoying older cousin’s First Valentine onesie. Good thing his arms and legs can stick out because between his rolls and length of body parts, he’s…
