A happy dim sum brunch with family today. Baby was a little gem, as always. First a walk around Cliffhouse, to let baby soak in some rays. Through the shield and comfort of his stroller, of course. Here he is, a happy little clam. Of the dim sum highlights are the beef organs which we all cheered for in unison. The tripe was a tad overdone, but nothing to gripe about. I…
A moment today I couldn’t help but to think that I’m finally out of the woods. The newborn stage: no sleep, feeding around the clock with a tender little baby thing. He’s cleared the newborn stage for some time now but today was a clear reckoning of that realization. He has sturdiness to him. Toughness too, even. The messages marketed for little boys exemplifies this: blue, tough, mud. All this is okay with me… As…
Sausalito Wednesday. Found a little spot for a late brunch. Fried oysters with teeny little pickles. All the food has fancy French names but I don’t remember any of it. The oysters were fresh and delightly crispy. The tomato based sauce was light & mild. Perfection. Deviled eggs for my handsome devils. I wish there were more to them but they are simple little devils. I like my devils spicy if can. …
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. …
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.
CHVRCHES’ cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry me a river” got baby jammin’. After when I was holding him, dancing & singing, baby kept bobbing. I’m living a dream, man. I like babies and all, but this one? This kid is a freaking miracle! He’s so strong. He can stand up nearly on his own. Less than three months old! Auntie says he’s physically gifted! Music to a mommy’s ears. He smiles all day long and…
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…
You are a cinema. I could watch you forever. Baby like to dance. A song he likes, he moves his body, arms and bobs his head to the beat. Maybe like dad, he’ll be a little baby b-boy. In utero, baby liked reggae the best. Now he’s open to all kinds of music: classical with grandma & more modern beats with his folks. Grandma already has her sights set on baby being her dance partner.…
POUNDS. This kid is getting big quick. A hearty 7.7 pounds & 20 inches, 2 weeks early, he came. We bought a scale for the specific purpose of weighing this growing babe. Also, I like to check pre & post poops… Uh, for myself. If you don’t do this, you should certainly try. I pooped 1.1 pounds just this morning! I’m beaming with pride. My grandfather’s analogy for a growing baby is their body is…
Look at this face. All I had to say was good morning. Did I win the lottery or what?
