My senses were assaulted today!
First papa tried to feed me with a bottle of mama’s milk. I didn’t take to it straight away because the nipple was rubbery… just like the pacifier my folks tried to stick in my mouth a few weeks earlier! When I finally drank my moo, it was strange to stare [...]
I am offended!
I just found out that mama and one (or more) of her friends are referring to me as CP, Cranky Pants for short! I can’t help it if I cry when I poop in my pants and you try to feed me instead. It’s not my fault that I voice my displeasure when [...]
Whenever we go out on a walk or take the bus, papa puts me in a sling/Maya wrap. Papa says that I fall asleep in it about a minute later. I can’t tell because by the time I wake up, I am home! This makes me wonder if we even leave the house each time!
Anyway, [...]
Yay, I have qualified for free Hoosier Healthwise insurance! This means that mama and papa do not have to pay very much for my medical care and immunizations. We also renewed our WIC status and now we also get free food from the Farmers’ Market.
All my fans might like to know that now I hardly [...]
I have been chuckling quite a bit lately (see a short video of me, 806KB). Maybe it’s because new diapers make me feel good, maybe it’s because the fireflies look so pretty at night. Maybe it’s papa’s funny song about me!
Poopy, poopy diaper
(sung to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic)
My name is [...]
In all my excitement I forgot to tell you about tornados that blew by earlier last weekend!
Papa told me that tornado season came early this year (I had nothing to do with it, honest!). The sirens blew, the emergency alert system played on TV and radio, and we had to take shelter in the middle [...]
Grandma and grandpa left today for Chicago. They will spend about a week there before flying home to Singapore. So now there are fewer people in the Tan household to adore me and attend to my every need!
Papa and mama also seem to think that they can put me on some sort of regime. They [...]
Help! The hairs on my body are switching places!
I seem to be losing hair on my head and papa says I look like I am suffering from male pattern baldness! There also seems to be less hair on my shoulders and back.
I still have hairy ears and a small tuft between my bum cheeks. I [...]
Mama and I went to a mama & baby play group last week. The mamas and babies are from the childbirth class that my folks attended earlier in the year. Ian and his mama played host.
The mamas spent most of the time talking about us; how much we poop, pee, how little sleep we allow [...]
I am one month old… time flies when you are making poopy!
We celebrated this milestone by inviting some of papa’s and mama’s friends over for lunch. Papa said that these were people who had helped us a whole bunch during our stay in the US. We had nasi lemak, satay, roti john, samosas, and salad. [...]
