4 month check-up numbers are in!

We saw the doctor on 5/13 and Ryan received another clean bill of health. We also got the go ahead for Ryan to eat solid foods...:)

He is now:

17 pounds (87 percentile in weight)

27 1/4 inches in height (94 percentile in height)

43.8 cm for his head circumference (88 percentile in head circumference)

Big boy if you ask me..;)

Some of Ryan's 4 month development include:

signs of bottom teeth showing up
laughing out loud
opening and closing his hands (he now pinches me all the time!)

So, we started on solids the same day and his first solid food were Earths Best Organic carrots.... Ryan had no objections to solid food. Here is a video of his enjoying his first taste of solid food.

Happy Mother's Day...

I celebrated my first mother's day!

We decided not to go out, so we stayed home and I got to play with Ryan all day...:) It is nice to be a mom.....

I love the picture below..... the love of my life....:)

Mun Mun's Bday and Charles's 40th bday

Last weekend, we celebrated Mun-mun's 4th bday. Mun-mun is growing up quickly. She loves the princess toys and her room is all pink! she is such a girly girl..:) We had lots of food from Bucca de Beppo.

Here is a video of the party.... the first part of the video shows Gordon carrying Ryan to sleep.... however, Gordon fell asleep before Ryan did! Everyone had a good laugh on this one....:P

We had to leave early and miss the durian bcos we had to run off to SF to celebrate Charles's 40th bday....:) Dinner was at Lucky River restaurant. Our special gift to him was a remote-control ferarri car...... It is a special edition... Christian (Charles's son) saw the car and immediately wanted to own it.... hope Charles will get a chance to play with the car..;)

Ryan was really good all through dinner. Sydney loves playing with Ryan... she actually takes the time to entertain him and he gives her some nice smiles.

4 month old videos.

Here are some videos taken on Ryan's 4 month bday..:)

I am 4 months old!

hello hello, can you believe how time flies... I am already 4 months old as of today (May 4, 2008)

Mummy and daddy took me to the park today and I sat on the swing and slide for the first time..:)

My four month updates are as follows:

sleeping and eating - I am trying to get into a pattern for sleeping. At night, I can sleep from 8pm to 6am. I will wake up and eat, play a little and go back to sleep from 8-10am. After eating at 11, I will sleep for an hour or two and eat again at 3. I will sleep for another hour but will get grumpy around 5.30pm and need a 10 minute power nap...

Sometimes, I will wake up at night and cry... but I notice that no one comes to see me, so I make a little bit more noise and eventually fall back asleep...

As of today, I can laugh out loud and mummy finally notices that I am teething.... i think this is the first time she has looked into my mouth and was surprise to see white stuff on my bottom teeth area..:)

I am still trying to sit up on my own, but I love my exersaucer and jumperoo... The bumbo is so so only.. i can only stay in the bumbo for 5 minutes, but can play in the exersaucer and jumperoo for half hour.

I like to talk... mummy and grandma talk to me the most. We can have nice long discussion about everything. Sometimes I talk louder than them and we all start to laugh....

Everyone says I am so big. I think mummy's milk is making me very strong. I drink 8 ounces during each feed...totalling about 35 ounces a day....I wonder what my doctor will say when I see him on May 13. I move my mouth when I see mummy or daddy eating. I can't wait to try the real food!

I have big feet. Mummy is putting me in 9 month clothing and the feet area of the clothes still seem to be tight. Now, mummy has to find stuff that don't have feet covers, so that my feet can grow more.

I have learned to cuddle.... I love it when mummy carries me and I cuddle next to her when she gets back from work. I also don't mind when anyone carries me; I just want to be carried!

Oh... as of the last two days, my double eyelid showed up on my left eye. It is only on 1 eye, just like mummy. Mummy thinks I look pretty with the double eyelid. I wonder if the double eyelid will show up on my right as well..... will have to wait and see.....

Thank you for reading this blog.... till next month!
