Milestones

Baby Madi has reached another milestone! She can lay on her tummy and lift her head up w/her arms and peek at what her Mommie is doing. Mommie is usually ducking and hiding out so she won't get spotted by Madi.

Baby Madi is a little over 100 days old. She enjoys socializing w/bed buddies - the Inch Worm-ie, Jacques the peacock and Mortimer the moose. She loves her Inch Worm-ie most. When she wakes up in the morning, she's usually jibber jabbering with Worm-ie. When she's done talking to Worm-ie, she kicks Worm-ie then cries when she gets bored! At that point, either Mommie or Daddie entertains Madi. Talk about high maintenance!!!


Madi's Mommie is soooo tired from wearing Madi w/the Baby Bjorn. Madi goes where Mommie goes!!!

We are so excited to see Grandpa Thach... 11 days left! I bet he has many presents for Madi and Mommie!!!

The very top picture is Madi, who looks like Uncle Aaron. The one below it, Daddie wearing Madi. The one beneath that is 'Madi drop kicking Inch Worm-ie,' she's saying 'Imma kick you in the head!' And the last picture is Madi with Mommie.

Peace, Madi

Hi All -

It's been a while since I've blogged. A lot has been going on... Baby Madison had her first cold... well, minus the fever - sniffles and cough. Her cough went away within 3 days, but she had sniffles for an entire week. I got to use my nasal aspirator to pump out all the mucous in her nose. She hated it soooooo much, she would cry and whine... I'm so glad the sniffles are gone.

Her sleeping habits are great. She's been sleeping through the night on her own at 5 weeks... she sleeps from 9p to 8a now, we are very lucky!!! She is BIG TIME FINGER EATER... we can hear her sucking on her fingers while she is falling asleep, it's tooooo cute...

Bath time with Baby Madison is fun for both of us... I love to bathe her, she loves to be bathed. She is starting to become so heavy that I can't wear her anymore... she absolutely LOVES being in her 'Baby Bjorn.' She's outgrowing her clothes and eating like a piggy.

Madison is crying a lot less now. She loves to interact with anyone who'll talk to her, eve her inch worm that plays classical music, hehe. She is funny, she tries to talk to her inch worm. I hold her a lot less now, she enjoys to lean against a pillow so we can 'talk.' She still talks to Daddie in the morning - when Daddie is ignoring Madison, she smiles and coos at Daddie to get his attention, but the moment she's done playing, she'll cry... Poor Daddie :p

She's sooooo amazed when grandpa or grandma calls from SF. She stares at the telephone wondering where the other person is??? Madison is very excited when the phone is in front of her, she is always trying to talk back!

We are still visiting Daddie's work for lunches every other Tuesday. Baby Madison LOVES the attention from everybody. She probably thinks her name is 'Sooooo Cute,' since it's all she hears.

Madison LOVES to smile at the camera... she's sooooo vain.

We are all so excited to see Grandpa Thach in 19 days, YAY!!!

children's rhymes are soooo violent

I've been playing children's music for Baby Madi everyday; she enjoys having music on while she is falling asleep.

After listening to baa baa black sheep a few hundred times, I noticed that there were some very violent rhymes...

Goosey Goosey Gander

Goosey Goosey Gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my Lady's chamber.
There I met an old man
Who wouldn't say his prayers,
So I took him by his left leg
And threw him down the stairs.

The stairs went "crack"
He broke his back
And all the little ducks went "quack, quack, quack"

Michael Finnegan

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his chin-igan
They grew out and they grew in-igan
Poor old Michael Finnegan! Begin again...

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a pin-again
Caught a fish and threw it in-again
Poor old Michael Finnegan! Begin again...

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He grew fat and then grew thin-again
Then he died and had to begin again-
Poor old Michael Finnegan! Begin again...

happy 2 month birthday

I am finally 2 months old, YAY!!!

It's been the best 2 months so far... amazingly tiring.

Baby Madi is finally on a schedule... her formula intake has increased again. She's guzzling down 120cc/ml per 3-4 hours, 140cc/ml nighttime bottle. She sleeps at an average of 9 hours in the evening(without waking up for feedings) and naps at average of 5 hours during the day. She's asleep for about 14 hours and awake 10 hours throughout the day. What a PIGGGGGYY!!!


Every time I look at Baby Madi, I know we did the right thing. She completes our life as a family; she fills the empty-ness in my heart when I miss home. Being her Mommie just feels right, like there is not a single doubt. The creepy thing is that when I am not with her(which I am 22 out of 24 hours of the day), I miss her. If that's not LOVE, I don't know what is!!! Oh gosh, I am sooooo gushy. Yeah, this is unconditional LOVE.

Dynacolor Rocks...

Not only does Madison have a very super loving family... she has a group of Dynacolor Aunties and Uncles that love her soooooooo much. Thank you so much for the diapers and care (THE BIG FAT RED ENVELOPE)... **kisses**

Your cakes are on the way... **sorry for the delay**

Baby Madi goes through 8-10 diapers a day and she consumes a can of formula (400cc/ml) per 3 days...

Grand Baby...

Madison has robbed my addiction to shopping. The thought of going to a shopping mall or department store gives me goosebumps... a screaming baby at SOGO = totally not cool... it's like she's telling me not to spend any money. What a brat...

So far she's been eating well and sleeping well. Madison eats 100cc/ml every 3 hours, 120cc/ml before bedtime. She sleeps from 9pm to 5am; she started sleeping through the night without waking up at 6 weeks. Bravo!!!


Madison with her grandma's (mommie's mom) and great grandma... she's the first grandbaby!!
(Grandma #1 = Daddie's Mommie, Grandma #2 = Mommie's Mommie, Great Grandma, Madison)

It was nice having my mommie visit from San Francisco, CA. When Madison woke up at 5am, my mom was helping me watch and feed Madison... she is very loving and caring. I'm glad she was able to visit! San Francisco Grandpa and Uncle Aaron will be visiting, I am more excited than Madison...

finger eater...

Here is picture of her sucking on her thumb on her own...









On the bottom is a picture of Madison in her stroller...

It's so embarassing to have a crying baby in a shopping mall!!! Cry babies aren't welcomed... she was wailing so hard and loud that people came over to look at us, like I was hitting her. Urghh...
