My "Full-Month" (滿月) Dinner Party

Wow! What a party! Last night was the first time that I was out for long period of time! Also, last night was the first time that Mommy and Daddy took me out to dinner! Just to make sure that they will take me out again, I behaved extremely well! For the most part of the evening, I didn't cry, nor screamed. I tried to smile a lot, and tried very hard to let everyone to get their hands all over me. It's tough, because you all know that I don't like that strangers touching me, or holding me.

Our outing started with a longer-than-usual (to me) drive. Right before we left the house, I was feeling a bit hungry, so Mommy decided to give me a feeding before we left. Which also pushed our schedule a bit behind. About 25 minutes of driving later, we were the last one to show up at the party. But Daddy told me not to worry because the important people always show up last! The thing is... I wasn't too sure if he was referring to me, or himself!

As we walked into the room, I heard a lot of people making 'Ah' noises. I even heard a few hands clapping! I turned around and saw 3 tables full of people all starring at me! Wow, I didn't expect that many people to me there, but Daddy told me that that was about the right number!

Like I mentioned earlier, I was behaving very well throughout the evening. Everyone wants to hold me and take pictures with me. I saw quite a few new faces, and a few that I have already met a few times before.

But most of them have visited my web-site, so they are fairly up-to-date on my good looks and charm. There were quite a few younger looking girls that I have not met before. Mommy told me that they are my cousins. I can't wait to play with them... assuming that they don't mind playing with boys... a good looking boy!


In addition to pictures, I also received plenty of gifts! Just when I thought Christmas was over, there was another table-full of gifts! Once again, I really wished that I can unwrap those gifts myself!



That's my Aunt Juanita and Aunt Phoebe up there! I think I'm finally unafraid of Aunt Juanita's evil-look. I even managed to cracked a smile at her, as you can see from the album below. After all, she did buy me some very very nice Christmas gifts!

Oh... did I mention that there were plenty of food as well? Again, I wouldn't know what they taste like. But everybody else seemed to be enjoying the food! And that bottle of Sprite sitting on the table... I wanted to have a taste of it so bad!

The evening ended with a lot of laughters and happy faces! I finally got this chance to meet my extended family in L.A. I think it's time for Mommy and Daddy to take me on a trip to Hong Kong to visit the other half of my family there!

One last thing before I conclude this post... today is my favorite Unlce Chris' birthday! I want to wish him a Happy Birthday, and best wishes and luck in the coming year!



Hmm... I thought I overheard that there's a New Year's Eve party somewhere tomorrow night?

My First Christmas!





No, those pictures weren't taken on Christmas!  Instead, it was taken a few days before Christmas when Mommy and Daddy tooke me on a trip to Costco.  I think most people would agree that I look so cute in this outfit.  That's why I'm sharing these 2 pictures with my Readers.

Now, let's talk about my first Christmas!

First of all, now that I know I am supposed to get gifts... plenty of gifts!... during Christmas, I wish there is one Christmas every month!  Grandma, Aunt Phoebe, and Uncle Chris were all here to celebrate Christmas with us.  In addition, Mr. Edward Wong - a long time friend of the family, was also here.   He brought a bottle of Merlot, but Daddy said it is some kind of grape juice that I won't be trying for a very long time!  It was a fun evening because everyone was having a good time.  There were gifts everywhere, for everyone.  Too bad I don't have enough muscle-control to unwrap the gifts.  Therefore, Daddy had to do it for me.  But unwrapping gifts seems exciting to me!  

Below is a video, highlighting my first Christmas! This video is merely a quick fix-up attempt from the video editing software that I have just started learning how to use. I hope you will like it.




I know there have a been a lot of Readers/Fans hitting my site in the past few days, looking for some new pictures taken over Christmas. Thank you for visiting my site. It's been so busy in the past few days that I hardly had time to spend on my web-site. To make it up to you, below are the pictures that are exactly what you were looking for!




Finally, the video and pictures below are to show Grandma how much I enjoy the gift that she bought me. In this video, you can also see that I am beginning to make those "aah goo" sound (or noise, depending on your view on babies). It's a rather long video, but this is what Mommy and Daddy do most of the day, when I'm not sleeping, crying, or being fed. They play with me, and look at me for long period of time.








Tonight will be another big event night for me. Daddy is hosting a "Full-Month" dinner event on my behalf. Yeah, I know I'm more than 1 month old now. But since there will be plenty of people, Mommy and Daddy didn't want me to expose to large crowds when I was still merely 4 weeks old. That's why we decided wait till now, which is already 6+ weeks, believe it or not! Stay tune for more pictures!

Me vs. Jason Bourne


I was in Russia running from this CIA agent named J. Bourne. Unfortunately, my car ran out of gas, and Bourne caught up to me. He threw a punch right at me, and I ducked! I then ran into this apartment complex, and he caught up to me again. I was forced into this emptied apartment, and Bourne started to throw things at me. Things like books, lamps, glasses, tables, chairs, and etc. I know I'm quick, agile, and my reflex is top notch. But I can only make so many moves to avoid all these flying objects. Well, one of this antique lamp that was thrown at me caught me at my nose. Otherwise, I was okay! I jumped off this window, into the river down below, swam ashore, and continued my escape from Bourne... and that's when I woke up from my dream... realized that I've scratched my nose in my sleep.

Fun Time with Grandparents

Following Grandma (Chan)'s visit on Friday night, Grandma and Grandpa (Tong) also made a visit on Saturday. Grandpa just returned from a business trip from Shanghai on Thursday, and he just couldn't wait to come see me! Speaking of Shanghai, Daddy told me that it is a place that he will bring me there someday!

As usual, whenever the Grandparents are visiting, it means good food that I wouldn't know the taste! But as a trade off, I get plenty of spoiling. Although I have to admit that Grandma (Tong) is beginning to pickup my little tricks here and there, and she is starting to know when am I being naughty and just screaming for attention.

Anyway, below are some pictures of me and my Grandparents. Enjoy!

Some Spoiling from My Grandma

Grandma came to visit me on Friday night. She prepared food for Mommy and Daddy, and spent some time holding me in her arms. Unfortunately, I wasn't in too much of a good mood because Daddy had been keeping me up the whole evening, wouldn't let me sleep! Therefore, I'd been crying for quite a bit throughout the evening. Of course... since I knew Grandma was in-da-house, I wanted to push the limit a bit, just to make sure I get the proper dosage of "spoiling." And it worked like a charm!

Mommy and Daddy have this rule that if I'm fed, and diaper changed, and I am still screaming murder, they will just let me vent my anger for 10 minutes... alone! Well, since I still have a rather short attention span, my screaming usually lasts less than 10 minutes, unless something is really bugging me. But on Friday night when Grandma was here, I barely had to raise my voice to scream, and I'm already in my Grandma's arms... faster than you can say 'Addison!' What an luxury! Now I just hope that Grandma come visit more often so that I don't have to beat that stupid 10 minutes trap!

Here are a few pictures of me and Grandma. Isn't she pretty? I bet when she takes me to Toys-r-us, people will just assume that she's my Mom!

I Watched My First Jay Leno Show

Well, Daddy told me that it was a re-run, but I wouldn't know. You know, that Jay Leno guy was pretty funny! You can see that I enjoyed his monologue quite a bit! Yeah, it was way past my bed time, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. In fact, I didn't feel sleepy until almost 3am this morning. Unfortunately... for Mommy and Daddy, soon after Leno was over, I started crying and crying. I didn't know why I cried so much last night. Maybe it was because Conan O'Brien and Carson Daly weren't as funny as Leno, and that's why I was so upset. Or maybe it was a bit cold last night, and I was just not used to it.

I cried so much last night that Mommy almost threw me off the window! Only it was Daddy who stopped her from doing so at the very last minute, and told Mommy that he would like to take the honor instead. That's when I knew that I was in really big trouble... when Daddy had to get off his bed (on the wrong side, apparently) at 3am to put me to sleep! I got quiet rather quickly and mysteriously, I felt asleep.

I think Daddy was so upset at me last night that he decided to wake up early to visit work again! Otherwise, why would he wake so early in the moring when he got so little sleep last night? Anyway, this evening, when he came back from visiting work, I pretended to be a good boy for a few minutes, just to cheer him up. He did look a bit tired, and he told Mommy that his left arm is beginning to sore. I think Daddy was hinting that I'm gaining weight. But I think he just need to chill! He probably strained his left arm while driving his BMW!

My Mini 1-Month-Old 滿月Party

As mentioned, the Grandmas threw me a mini-滿月(1-month) party at home yesterday! Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Chris, Aunt Juanita and Aunt Peggy, and the Grandmas were all here after work. Grandma (Chan) even started preparing the food the night before. There were plenty of yummy food, and most importantly, there was also a very delicious (looking) chocolate cake too!
Throughout the night, everyone wanted to hold me and they just didn't want to let me go! Below are a few pictures that Daddy took, when Aunt Juanita was holding me in her arms. A picture speaks a thousand words. With 3 pictures, it only means more words!




After last night's party, I seriously believe that Aunt Juanita has some kind of problems with me. I even sensed some anger in her, when she was holding me last night. If you don't believe me, you can watch the video below. Although I was all quiet when she was on the phone, I was actually so freaked out by her mean look that I was actually shitting my diaper at that moment. And when I started crying again, I couldn't believe that she wanted to bit off my tiny little hand! Her evil smile and her devilish stare almost gave me nightmare last night!





Just when I thought my 5 minutes in Aunt Juanita's arms was scary, I was exposed to a totally different kind of trauma later last night. I might be 1 month old, but my body is just not ready for roller-coaster-type of turbulence yet! When Aunt Phoebe was holding me, I really thought that my lungs, kidney, and intestines were all going to get re-shuffled to a new location! I actually wanted to ask Daddy to show me how to 'slow-motion' this video clip so that my Viewers can catch a glimpse of my worried looking face. Too bad that Daddy has been busy today!




By the time I arrived at Uncle Chris' arms, I was completely exhausted. I only had some strength left to cry, and nothing else. You can see in the video below that Uncle Chris was trying to bribe me with some money, hoping that I will stop crying. Well, nice try! Just leave the money with me, while I continue to cry!




Here are some more pictures that I took with different people yesterday. I just wish that I could have a bite of that chocolate cake. It looks really yummy!




Last but not least, I want to conclude today's post with another one of my 'Tummy Time' performance. I just want to show off the strength of my neck muscles! This video was shot early yesterday afternoon, before everyone arrived at my house.

I'm 1 Month Old! 滿月!

Can someone tell me why Daddy has been waking up so early in the morning and then disappeared!? What is 'work'? Why does he have to always go visit work?

I'm officially 1 month old today! Grandma (Chan) stayed at our place last night, and prepared meals for us today. She will be staying with us again tonight.

Daddy told me that we are going to have a small party tomorrow at home, with the Grandmas, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Juanita visiting, to celebrate my 1-month birthday.

Below is a video of me... being forced to do some 'Tummy Time.' The video was shot a few days earlier.





Now comes the pictures! These are all taken within the past 24 hours. Yes, these are pictures of me at 1-month age! I can't believe I'm 1 month old already!

Eye check and Vitamins Intake

I don't know why Daddy kept moving from left to right, to left, to right, while holding his camera in this video below. I just know that I am very photogenic. That's why I always try to look at the camera, as soon as I am aware that someone is filming me. But Daddy, in this video clip, just thought that my eyes just started to recognize things, and my brain has just started to instruct my eyes to follow the object within my eyesight. Check out how stupid he looks!





Later in the day, I was crying for just no good reason... as always. And somehow Daddy managed to sneaked a drop of vitamin in my mouth, while I was screaming on top of my lungs. Well, what else could I had done other than to just shut-up and taste the vitamin!? Somehow both Mommy and Daddy thought that I look cute and funny. Well, I do!




Finally, here are some pictures that Mommy and Daddy took in the past few days. Enjoy!
