My world

Sunday, October 31st, 2004

For now my world is limited to the apartment, Bloomington, assorted vehicles, various airports, and Boston. I have yet to see Singapore but I have met (and stared at) various people from Singapore.
But the rest of the world also comes to me. The neighbors upstairs include a Thai couple and an older lady of [...]

Q&A

Saturday, October 30th, 2004

Q: What would you get if you crossed the Godfather with a laughing Buddha?
A: You get this video (3.86MB) of me in a rather loopy mood!

Drinking?

Friday, October 29th, 2004

I am learning to drink from a cup. A real cup not a sippy cup. After all, mama and papa use real cups, so why not me? I am still not very good at it, but practice makes perfect.
So… when am I going to get to taste some Coke or alcohol or coffee?

Crawl?

Friday, October 29th, 2004

I can’t remember exactly when, maybe it was a week ago, that I starting trying to crawl.
What pisses me off is that I can’t yet support myself on my legs and arms simultaneously. When I push with my legs, my bum goes up in the air and my head grinds into the bed, futon, or [...]

Plump-kin

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

Arrgh! Uncle Patrick saw the photo of me dressed in my pumpkin suit and called me a “plump-kin”!
Will the fat jokes never end?

Close shave?

Tuesday, October 26th, 2004

Horrors! I just heard that some mamas and papas shave their babies’ heads when they are one month old! I feel sorry for some of my non-ang mo counterparts. Folks who cut our hair believe that it is “unclean”. Have you heard of shampoo or soap and water?
Eek, we come into this world with [...]

Teletubby?

Monday, October 25th, 2004

Papa says that I could be the fifth teletubby: Stinky-Winky.
Apparently, my diapers smell even more evil now that I have started solid foods. With all those animated actions and excited expressions, I thought that mama and papa were expressing their excitement each time they unwrapped my presents. They seemed even more “impressed” when I try [...]

Dark side

Monday, October 25th, 2004

I’ll admit it, I am guilty of “molesting” and terrorizing other babies.
I like to reach out and touch my counterparts’ parts… well, just their hair most of the time. They have such colorful hair! If they don’t respond or when they look like they are going to say something, I scream first! Aren’t I a [...]

Wet walk

Sunday, October 24th, 2004

Mama and papa really put the stroller through a weather test today. We went out in the rain for a walk through campus and downtown.
Most sane people would have stayed indoors but I found out long ago that papa does not have a complete collection of marbles. Papa thought that the fall colors were pretty, [...]

Boo… hoo!

Saturday, October 23rd, 2004

What a day this turned out to be…
First mama and papa decked me out as a pumpkin pie. Then we attended an early Halloween party for babies, mamas, and papas. It was really crowded! I was glad to see that I was not the only one in a costume. But I was quite upset that [...]
