March 2012 - 16 Months!

I feel like time is flying by so quickly.  I know I didn't really say much about his physical progress, but TnT actually started sitting up by himself aroudn 6 months; was crawling around 8 months; cruising around 9 months; walking between 10-11 months; and now he's running! 

I have decided that for this year, I'm just going to aim for monthly postings...but for next year, I want to start that Project 365.  It's just were you take a picture to post every day.  I mean, I take pictures usually 3 times a week anyway, so this shouldn't be too hard.  It probably won't be a long post, but a short caption or summary of what was going on.  I'll probably have that made into a photo book or scrapbook (or both!).  Sounds good, right?  Well see if I can even upkeep that! LOL

@15 Months...

While we were at State Line on the way to Vegas, I decided to pick up a few things for the baby.  Isn't this shirt cute?  It's from the Gap...and it says Dr. Love.  He looks like he'd make an excelleng doctor, doesn't he?  He just has that sort of face you have to trust, hehehehe.

We went to Vegas for Chinese New Year...the baby handled it pretty well, except he didn't want to sit in his seat the whole night.  And who could blame him?  I would get antsy if I had to sit in my seat for 4 hours straight! LOL

For some reason though, he didn't sleep that well on the car ride home.  I thought that if we drove home when it was his bed time, he would just knock out and sleep the whole way.  Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.  He kept waking up crying...and he would cry for about 15 minutes before falling asleep again..only to wake up and cry like 10 min later.  I think all of us were happy to get home and rest.

14 Months

Another month, another Disneyland trip.  This one was for MY birthday (you can see the birthday pin in the pic, lol). 

Unfortunately, he's not looking at the camera for this pic...he didn't even know what was goin on, lol.  I guess this kinda stuff will be funner when he gets older.  (Excuse my poor grammer, hahah.)

By now, we know that his absolute favorite ride at Disneyland is "It's a Small World".  He gets all excited when he hears the music outside when standing in line.

And isn't this shirt cute?  He got it for his bday and from the back, it really does look like he's wearing a backpack! LOL 

I've also decided to start pin collecting (yes, totally unrelated to TnT, sorry!).  I think on my next trip I'll grab a landyard and some pins to get started.  I see them all over the park, and it seems like lots of people are totally into it!

Hmm..not much to note about TnT thos month....But it's crazy how big he's getting already! =)

13 Months, Whoa!

Hmm, yes...another pacifier pic.  But isn't he soooo cute?!?  We are planning to take away the pacifier soon...but it's hard for me to give up because a) he looks so cute with it, b) he LOVES it, and c) it's hard to hear him cry.

But...as my mom says, it's my own fault for letting him get addicted in the first place.  I think it's worth it, hahaha. =)

This is him trying to sneak into my mom's luggage for her cruise.  Although he didn't really understand what was going on, he's like a cat or dog...he knows something is up and that he's not going to like it.

I still came over to the house while they were on their cruise, and I could tell that the baby was looking for his Ah Ma and Ahn Kong.

Happy Birthday!

Okay, so I didn't really post as much as I thought I would this year...but even then I can't believe my little baby is already one year old.  Isn't that crazy?

After a super successful bday party at my mom's house, we took little TnT to Disneyland on his actual birthday.  Isn't he the cutest?  With his expressions, he's just a little mini-daddy. Hahahah

So...my goals for next year are to post more often!  Also, I need to wean the baby off the pacifier (and eventually bottle).  I hope he'll stop using 10 diapers a day, hahaha...

As soon as the clock struck 1 year, we started mixing 1/2 and 1/2 of formula and whole milk (per the Dr's instructions).  Then..one of the days I didn't have powder on me, so I just gave him whole milk.  After that, he flat out REFUSED anything that had formula in it. LOL  That's good for us...definitely cheaper!

8 Months...Where did the time go!

Hi everyone!  I haven't posted in awhile...and I might have to back date some future posts so that we stay in chronological order.  But for now...here's a look at TnT from his first convention: Anime Expo!

My mom knitted this Pikachu outfit for TnT.  It was funny how it happened. I was just musing aloud saying it'd be so cute if the baby had a Pikachu outfit for Anime Expo.  Then my mom started asking for yellow yarn.  For like a week.  Finally, I asked what the yarn was for...and she said, I thought you wanted a Pikachu outfit for the baby.  Yes, my mom is hip and knows that Pikachu is yellow, lol.  And then she got mad at me because I took forever to get her a picture of Pikachu...and the day I finally remembered...the printer broke.  FAIL!  But I threw some on her iPad and she was ready to go.

I helped her out a little on the sewing parts.  Don't you think it turned out AWESOME?  She didn't even use a pattern...she just winged it.  WTF, I always need a pattern! LOL

The baby had an amazing time...he smiled non stop and talked a bunch!  Seriously, the cutest Pikachu ever!

Finally - 3 Months!

My little one is officially 3 months old, as of yesterday.  Hurray!!  Lots of things have changed since his 30 day birthday, and I'm glad to report I'm getting more sleep at night. =)

So, first off, let me tell ya, I'm sorry I haven't been able to regularly blog (either on here or my main blog!).  I've been UBER busy, and it's only going to get busier!  Although I'm not working full-time, I do have some clients and I am doing some bookkeeping for a restaurant.  That, added to the fact that my parents have been out of the country for the last couple of weeks (omg, CANT wait till they get back on Wed!!) and the fact that my mother-in-law has started working 7 days a week, I have barely had any free time.  At least when my parents get back, I'll have some help with the baby.  =)

So...where I'm at right now....I'm trying to get TnT on sleep schedule. I think it's kinda working. He's still waking up before it's time, but I'm hoping if we stick to the schedule, he'll gradually wake up less...until he sleeps through the night.  I'm not sure why he doesn't sleep 7 hrs anymore, but my goal is to get back to that.

What method am I using?  I'm trying out the scheduling method...where you just stick to the same schedule every day.  Well, almost the same...his nap times vary throughout the day because I just let him sleep when he wants...that is, until 9pm.  At 9pm, I don't let him sleep until midnight.  My goal is to get him to sleep from midnight till 7am.  When he starts sleeping longer, I can let him sleep earlier...I think they say babies can sleep up to a block of 10 hrs.  10pm-8am or 9pm-7am would be a dream come true right now, hahahaha.  Anyhoo, I'll try to keep y'all updated as to how my scheduling method works. =)

Till next time!
