From Ryan Kwan - Day 24

Hello world! I am Ryan Kwan and I am 24 days old.

The first 24 days of my life has been interesting. I miss being in mummy's tummy, where it is quiet and warm. Out here, it can be too warm or too cold (depending on how my mummy dresses me)....

I have been a good boy so far... I love being carried and love my parents's bed! So far, I have pee-ed, poo-ed and drooled milk on their bed. My bed is still clean.

My sleeping habits has been changing constantly. I used to fall asleep on my own but now, I would want someone to hold me and when they put me down on my bed, I would wake up ( I am sure this drives my parents nuts since they already spent all that time holding me to sleep). My parents decided to stop my crying by putting a pacifier in my mouth. I am unsure if I like it yet, but I am willing to give it a try...:)

I wake up constantly with stomach pains due to gas in my tummy. I would cry and need some comforting while the gas comes out through my butt. I wonder if that would go away as it does hurt and there is nothing anyone can do.

My parents treat me like a 3 month old. I have to remind them that I am only 24 days old. I love getting kisses from them, and love my bath time that is usually followed by a massage from my mummy.

I have yet to get into any schedule. I eat when I like and sleep when I like. My mom tried to follow the Baby Wise method (eat, play, nap) but it is not working for me. When I play, I cannot nap as I am wide awake. I need to eat again before I can nap. I am also a power napper. I can nap for 10 minutes and be happy.

Oh, I had my first giggle on day 23. I also can laugh when mummy plays rough with me. My eyes can follow the sounds of noises and I love to move my hands up and down especially when I am agitated. I recently found out I have fingers and tried to suck my thumb yesterday.

Here is me lying on my mummy. I can sleep for hours if someone is carrying me. I don't like my crib...

I love it when daddy plays with me and carries me...

Grandma, Ryan and the Internet

On a daily basis, grandma in Malaysia wants to see baby Ryan..:) So, mummy sets up the webcam and turns up the microphone and speakers and Grandma gets to talk, hear and watch Ryan..:D

Aunty Cindy and Uncle Jin also get to watch Ryan thru the webcam....

What would we do without the internet?

Waking Ryan....

Here is a video of mummy trying to wake Ryan up to take a bath...:)

Acura MDX Touring

After having only one car for 1 year and 4 months (I sold my Honda in Sept 06...)We finally have a 2nd car! After months of searching, we have purchased our second car; a 2004 Acura MDX Touring.

The buying process has been fun. We found a wholesaler in Fremont and he would go for Acura auctions and bid for the car that we want. He would send us a list of cars with the number of miles, color and options and we would tell him how much we are willing to pay for the car out the door.:) Most of time, he would call us and tell us that someone asked for a higher price for the car. There was once when we did get the car at the right price, but the inspection report came back bad, so he had to reject the car. The wholesaler does take a commision, but at the end of the day, we did save about 3k out the door compared to kbb prices.

Anyways, we now have a Pearl Brush Sage (a.k.a Gray-Green) Acura..:) Gordon is super excited and has been playing around with the car the last few days. This car has the option to have 7 seater, which I think is pretty cool. If we put the extra two seats up, there will be less trunk space. Kinda cool for special cases..:)

Check out the pics...

Let us know if you want to know the Wholesaler too...:D

Too cute....
