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!

Happy 30-Day Birthday!

My little one is officially 1 month old!  Time flies like crazy when you're busy!

Anyhoo, we had a dinner this past Saturday with my mother-in-law's friends.  Then we did another small dinner at my parents' house with just family.  We were planning to throw a bigger party for the rest of my family and friends, but my mom hasn't been feeling well, and she said she doesn't have the energy to host a party right now.  So we're postponing it until further notice. =/

In the meantime, here's a pic of my sweet TnT on his special day!  Isn't he adorable?  I have a video of everyone singing happy birthday to him, but I haven't posted it anywhere yet.  I want to make a special YouTube channel just for him, which is kept private where only friends and family can watch his videos.

When that's all done, I'll definitely post it here and take "applications" of who want a chance to view his stuff! Hahahah

Anyhoo, till next time!

I Got Peed on, awesome.

So yeah, like the title says, my little angel peed on me today.  Coincidentally, this happened while I had just undressed him for his bath and was waiting for the hubby to get the bathtub ready.  So yeah, of all the luck...

On another note...in this pic to the left, I'm sporting the Munchkin baby sling.  Baby slings (IMO) are one of the best inventions EVER (for lazy people like me).  It lets me carry the baby without actually using both hands.  It leaves my hands free to play on my iPad.  Yes, that's my iPad in the pic...I was recording the baby's last feeding, lol.  The app you see there is called "Baby Geek" and I love it.  I use it to record all of TnT's pees, poops, feedings, and sleep.  That way I can tell people that he's not eating well, or pooping as much as I'd like, etc. =P LOL  And yes, I DO do that...

So we kinda figured out what all the crying was about...it seems like our poor baby had some pretty bad gas, which was upsetting his tummy.  He was grunting all the time, and crying more and more every day.  So I took TnT to the doctor and he recommended that we change his formula (apparently gripe water wasn't strong enough!).  So now we have him on the Similac Soy Sensitive formula...although I'm not a fan of the smell.  I definitely like the smell of the regular formula better.  Perhaps our poor baby is lactose intolerant?  I suppose we'll have to wait and see.  We're only using the soy formula till it runs out...then we're switching to Enfamil AR (which is for gassiness and sensitive tummies too).  Just following the dr's orders! =)  I'm just happy our baby is not grunting all the time, and seems to be in a better mood.  He still cries sometimes, but it could be because we haven't completely weaned off the original formula (you can't just switch cold turkey!).  I'll keep you guys updated on how he does after he's just on the soy formula.

Well, it's 2am, and I really should be sleeping instead of typing (but really, I want to enjoy my night off!).  I'll try to be back soon!

Till next time!

Yay, an Innie!

Not much new to report.  TnT is still the crybaby....can't wait till he can "use his words" to tell me what's wrong! LOL  Atm, I'm just really bad at guessing.  Usually I start with a bottle, then smell his diaper, then try to burp him, and if all that fails, just hold him.  If he still cries after that...I'm usually at a loss and just try to rock (or bounce!) him.  Right now, I actually got his pacifier to keep him quiet, hehehe.  I usually don't think about it, but it was right next time and I thought I'd give it a shot.  I didn't think it'd actually work (cuz he's not hungry), but it's doing it's thing, woot!

Anyhoo, as you can see from the pic, TnT's umbilical cord has finally fallen off. He's 3 weeks and 1 day (or 22 days to be exact).  I'm glad he's going to be an innie...=)

That's all I have to report for now...I really can't wait until his house arrest is over, and we can finally go out together!  I have cabin fever...going out once or twice a week for a couple hours doesn't really do it for me.  It might have, 8 months ago, when I was super nauseous...but not anymore!

Till next time!
