Wave clip

Friday, February 18th, 2005

A little over a month ago, I learned how to wave. This has brought me no shortage of new admirers. Now papa wishes he had tried teaching me how to panhandle… we might be rich by now!
Anyway, papa opted to keep a video of me waving (693KB) while being carried by mama locked away in [...]

Raspberries!

Thursday, February 17th, 2005

After papa bathes and dries me, he likes to blow raspberries against my belly and even my bottom. Mama says that papa is a brave man when he does my buns! Anyway, I quite enjoy the sensation and so I giggle and shriek.
Today I blew raspberries against mama’s tummy when she tried to get me [...]

Evidence

Wednesday, February 16th, 2005

Here is video evidence of me signing “more” (2.78MB).
Papa says that it may not look like much if you don’t know sign language or a baby’s psychomotor skills. He says he can offer a few choice hand and finger gestures to those of you who don’t appreciate this milestone. Wah, so fierce!

Signs

Tuesday, February 15th, 2005

If you could see me now, you might catch me making a gesture with my hands.
No, I am not making bad signs. After a few weeks of being harassed with simple sign language from mama and papa, I finally relented and made the “more” sign!
I didn’t make it when I was being fed. I didn’t [...]

My pen

Monday, February 14th, 2005

Now that I am taller, papa decided to lower the thing that supports my crib mattress. Phooey, now I cannot look over the side when I stand up! Not only that, the bars seem higher.
My crib and playpen are sometimes referred to as my “pen”. I thought that a “pen” was something you wrote with. [...]

Chomp!

Sunday, February 13th, 2005

Today we went to the Theodas’ house for a Lunar New Year celebration.
Wah, there were so many people and so much food there! Unfortunately I did not get to taste anything on the table. Fortunately I got two hongbaos. Unfortunately papa is keeping them in his pocket. Fortunately I have something in my diaper for [...]

Caged!

Saturday, February 12th, 2005

Help, I am a caged animal!
Ever since I started exhibiting greater mobility, papa has been trying to baby proof the apartment. First he covered the sharp edges of the living room table and bedroom nightstands. Then he covered the electrical outlets. Ooh, I look forward to these mental and physical challenges!
However, I did not expect [...]

Good & bad

Friday, February 11th, 2005

It looks like I may have a stomach virus… or chicken porridge doesn’t agree with me. I also have a phlegmy cough. The Year of the Rooster isn’t much to crow about so far.
But these things haven’t stopped me from having fun! I have learned to swallow my phlegm. When I got the flu when [...]

New year?

Wednesday, February 9th, 2005

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! It seems like only a month ago that we celebrated the new year. My how time flies!
Hee-hee, just kidding! Papa reminded me that today the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, and many others celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Unfortunately, my own home country doesn’t observe the new year with holidays. KFC doesn’t [...]

Crabby

Wednesday, February 9th, 2005

I’m a little crabby. No, not crabby as in grumpy. I like to walk sideways!
When I am in my crib, I pull myself into a standing position. Then I use one side of the crib to support me as I slowly walk up and down the crib. Mama saw this and asked papa to watch. [...]
