Something is Still Stucked in My Nose!

First of all, I want to thank those who expressed their concerns of my well being in the past few days. Those are only some flu-like symptoms. No big deal! Although the stuffy nose is rather bothering at times. As long as I'm still allowed to scream and cry, I'm okay. Besides, I still haven't lost my appetite as you can see from the video below.

Below are some pictures... I told you so... I'm really okay!

Just A Bit Under the Weather

Yes, I think this past week I was partying too much! I've been sneezing and coughing. I couldn't breath because of nasal congestion, yet there were watery stuff flowing out of my nose. With the breathing difficulty, it just made eating and sleeping more difficult. Of course I wasn't too happy about it. Well, neither were Mommy and Daddy. So on Friday, Daddy left work early to take me to the doctor. Even though I've told them many times that I don't need to see the doctor, they insisted. Daddy even said he'll ask the doctor for some prescription strength Night-Quil for me. I think Night-Quil is some kind of medication for kids, right?

So we got to the doctor, and the first thing they did was to weight me. I came in at 18.6 pounds. Yes, I've gained weight again! But Mommy said I was above 19 pounds before I got sick. After the scale, we went to the examination room to wait for the Doctor. A few minutes later, the Doctor showed up. He pretty much checked me from head to toe. He checked my ears, looking for signs of ear infenction. He even stick this wooden stick into my mouth, and press it agianst my tongue to look for something. Well, whatever he was looking for, it wasn't there! The Doctor said I'm all good... looking! He told Mommy and Daddy that I don't need to take any medication, and they are to be on a lookout for potential fever over the weekend. Yup, that was it! I've told them I don't need to see the Doctor! When are they going to listen to me?

Just Some Pictures

Some pictures that Mommy took today.

Curry Chicken? - That's what Daddy said

This is what happens when you give me your arm to suck on.

Yogurt Tastes Good!

Yes, I like yogurt. Especially the kind that Mommy eats. I'm okay with the kind that are made for kids. I'll take it! But if given the choice, I prefer Mommy's because it has strawberry or peach flavor.

Last night, we went out to dinner with Mommy's friend Uncle James and his family. They came from Arizona. If you were one of those who read that Golden Little Piggy blog about this baby who lives inside his Mommy's tummy, you should recall that Uncle James left quite a few comments there. It was my first time meeting Uncle James. He has 2 boys but they are much older than I am. He also bought me some gifts. Check them out from the pictures below.

A Busy Sunday!

I had a very busy Sunday!

Mommy and Daddy first took me to Uncle Chris' apartment to see if Uncle Chris has anything good that he forgot to bring with him back to Hong Kong. It turned out that there was this huge big screen TV sitting in the living room waiting for Daddy to take it away. Oh, did I mention that there's also a chair that moves?

Since it was my first time visit, I thought it was only appropriate to leave something behind at Uncle Chris' place as a token of appreciation. But since no one told me that we are visiting Uncle Chris' place ahead of time, I didn't prepare any gift. Instead I decided to poop and left behind a poopy diaper. Yes, Daddy forgot to take it out of the house when we left, so it's still sitting there! Since no one lives there right now... did I mention that all the windows were shut closed when we got there?

Anyway, before we left, I took a few pictures with Grandma at the parking lot. You can see that it was a very nice and sunny day, and I looked as good as Grandma!

So after our visit to Uncle Chris' place, we headed straight to a dinner event. Grand Aunt Jean and Grand Uncle Barton are celebrating their 40th Wedding Anniversary at a Restaurant in Monterey Park for dinner. It means that there will be plenty of food that I could only look at but not taste.

When we arrived, there were already a quite a few people there, and as soon as I walked into the room, all eyes were turned to me! Well, I can't help it! Everyone wanted to hold me and touch me. They all tried to talk to me. And at my age, the good thing is, I don't really have to respond to them. To tell you the truth, I was actually thinking if I should cry out loud, or just stay quiet. But as I was still thinking, I was already being taken over, and being carried around, by quite a few people already.

As you can see from the pictures below, I actually fell asleep when the dinner was served. They all thought that I was tired. Instead, I just didn't want to look at them eating, while I couldn't taste any of the food. Therefore, I pretended to be sleeping.

I woke up as they were finishing the courses. Again, I was being passed around... but as soon as the girls noticed that I'm awake, they just swamped around me.



Fortunately, I'm kind of used to it already. I used to get swamped around by a bunch of old ladies whenever Mommy takes me to the Supermarket. (Actually, it is still happening unless Mommy cover up the stroller with a blanket.) So this is way better! But you know, sometimes younger girls are more immature.

Here are the rest of the pictures taken from the dinner party. You can see that it was a very busy night for me!

Here is a video showing Grandpa holding me in his arms shortly after I woke up.

It's a Rat! Not a Mouse!

I don't know if any of you knew that my Daddy works for a Rat! Yes, a rat! But his company likes to call it a Mouse. To me, a mouse is something that connects to a computer or laptop.

Daddy's company even gives this Rat a name called Mickey. So, Mickey Rat. They even put clothes on this rat, made this rat to wear a pair of white gloves, and taught this stupid rat to walk with 2 of his 4 legs only.

I'm a Scouser... I Guess!?

Well, according to Daddy, Liverpool Football Club has once again made it to the Champions League Semi-Final for the 3rd time in 4 years. And for the 3rd time in 4 years, Liverpool is playing Chelsea. The first leg, which will take place at Anfield, kicks off on Tuesday, April 22. So please... show your support for Daddy's team. I did, and so can you!

Having Dim Sum With Grandparents

It's Saturday! Mommy and Daddy took me to meet Grandma and Grandpa at a Dim Sum restaurant. This is my first time visiting a Dim Sum restaurant, and let me tell you... I wasn't that impressed. That place was noisy! As soon as I arrived there, the ambience immediately put me in a bad mood. That's why whenever Grandma and Grandpa tried to hold me, I screamed! I was pretty sure that it had nothing to do with them. I just knew that I was in an unfamiliar territory... kind of like Liverpool playing at Old Trafford type of feeling. Who would feel comfortable at that, right?

Finally, Uncle Joseph, who was also there, took me for a cruise around the restaurant to calm me down. At first, he told me that he's going to walk around the restaurant and show me some good looking 'chicks.' (Yes, I soon found out that he wasn't referring to McDonald's Chicken McNuggets type of 'chicks.') But along the way, all I heard from him was 'yuck', 'butt ugly', 'what? that's a female?', 'forget that one', and even 'don't look over there!.' Half way through our restaurant tour, he decided to change the theme of his tour a bit... to 'Girls that I shouldn't go out with when I grow up.' As you can see from the tour below, I wasn't too thrill when the tour ended so quickly. Fortunately, Grandma was there to take over.

It was a really hot day! By the time we were done with Dim Sum, and walked back to our car, the temperature read 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Yeah, I'm used to Celcius too! But that's what Daddy's BMW is showing, and certainly my butt was feeling it too!

By the time we got home, I was soaking wet! No, Daddy's Bimmer was just cool enough (both inside, outside, and Daddy himself!), it was that stupid car seat that made me all hot and sweaty! Think about it... while every occupant is facing forward and enjoying the breeze from the AC, I had to face backward with the seat back blocking off all the cool air. So how could I chill under such hostile circumstances? That's why as soon as Mommy got me into the house, she took off all my clothes. I immediately turn back to a happy camper, as you can see from the pictures below.

Yes, I Thought Daddy Stabbed Me!

Hey, how was I supposed to know? Daddy is an adult, and I'm not. How would I know if his movement was so fast that I didn't even see his arm moved. I mean, I could have been stabbed by Daddy with a knife or something. After all, he's been telling everyone that I'm naughty and I'm not sleeping through the night bla bla bla. That's why when he raised his voice at me, I had to prepared for the worse. And when the worse case scenario happens, what do you do? You cry! And that is exactly what I did. So, you cannot blame me for crying. I was just learning how to react in front of my Grandparents, should this happen again when they are around. So chill!

Oh, for those who plan to watch this video from work, may I recommend you to turn down the volume a bit. (And no, Daddy's voice wasn't thaaaat loud.)

Update: You know... don't blame me for crying. The adults just shouldn't talk to me with their adult tone to begin with. I can't help it, okay?

I Have a Dream...

... a dream that I can bite, chew, and swallow some real solid food. This video below is a close resemblance of what my dream looks like.

I Took 2 Baths In 1 Day... Guess Why!?

Yes, and the picture here is taken from the second bath. Why? Because my poop had so much force and volume that it went beyond the ability of my diaper. Yes, it was everywhere! And yes, it was just right after my bath. Hey, I already did Mommy and Daddy a favor by not pooping in the bathtub. So what do you expect!?

But before I show you my latest bathing video, I would like to bring back some memories. Long time readers of my blog will definately remember my first bath video...

I was merely 20 days old when this 'First Bath' video was shot.

When I posted this video below, I was 2 months old then. Yes, I looked older, but most critics agreed that I still retained every bit of my good looks at my age.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to introduce you to my latest bathing video...

Noticed that ther'es not much left in my personal bath tub? I think I'm ready for the Jacuzzi tub!

I'm 5 Months Old!

Yesterday, I celebrated my 5 months old birthday by not sleeping at night. I was so excited that I just couldn't fall asleep. Could you believe that I'm already 5 months old? My cute face looks so young that when I go out, people thought that I'm only 4 months old!

Back to my celebration. I felt honored to have Mommy to be by my side all night long, throughout the celebration. She looked tired, but I'm sure that she wanted to stay up with me as well. Daddy was a little bit disappointing. He slept through the night without even waking up in the middle to check on us.

Anyway, my all-night celebration ended right around sunrise. By then I was exhausted, and fell asleep... finally.

Here are some pictures that Mommy took during the day.

Here is a video showing Mommy giving me some water through a straw. I don't know if you've heard... I don't like using Baby Bottle. Baby Bottles are for kids only. I don't know why Mommy and Daddy thinks that Baby Bottles suit me.

Eating is Tiring

If you've been following this blog, you should know that I have just recently started eating that so-called 'solid food.'  Seriously, if that's call solid-food, I wonder what does that piece of dark chocolate called!  Anyway, I don't know why, but usually when I eat, I fall asleep.  And this time, someone took the opportunity to snap a few photos of me, sleeping... peacefully... right after a meal.
