Seattle Trip

Greetings! Thought I'd talk about my brave parents taking me to Seattle at 5-6 weeks old. Aren't they troopers?
Luckily just before we went I had reached 8lbs! (Actually 8lbs 10oz) In honor of that milestone, my parents stuck me in this to prepare for our trip.

I wasn't quite sure what to think of the bjorn at first. You can tell not only am I skeptical, but I'm also holding on for dear life. Now you can't get me out of it without a little squawk. It's a great place to fall asleep!

In Seattle, we saw a lot of different places to live, but we also got to drink really good coffee.. (Check out the pretty design on Mummy's latte!)

Mums went to Top Pot for a mega-donut.

And I got to meet Uncle Matt and Aunty Marge! Here I am imitating Uncle Matt..

Can't wait to teach them more funny faces!

7 weeks!

I'm 7 weeks old today! My parents are taking it a day at a time, but I try to make it worth their while. Check out my habits.
I eat.. pretty much all the time to keep happy:

I sleep... (some of the time)

I work out (a little bit of the time.)

And I cry... (well, some call it lung exercise..)

And lastly, this picture, I'm a little embarassed to post, but since my parents are promising to use this for something called "prom" in my future.. I figured why not share it with all. This is what my parents refer to as "blow-out"
So happy I'm 7 weeks!

A tribute to grandparents

Just a special note to my grandparents who are always looking so adoringly at me.

Here I am meeting my Mummy Lei for the first time. She smells good.

Hi Ah Gong! Are you going to teach me about math?

Nainai knows I like to bounce!

Yeye feeding me! He also loves to hold me!

Big kisses and hugs to the best grandparents! I love you!

My first month

Hey there! It's been a great first month. Here are a couple of highlights:

My first couple of weeks, I was chilling under some bright blue lights. Check out how relaxed I am...


I've also had a lot of visitors. I feel really special and loved. Thanks for everyone who's been able to see me.. especially those who got to meet me just before they moved away from San Francisco. I'll miss you!

In the meantime, I've been working hard to acquire more chins. After all, it's great to have more than one, non? My papa thinks I have 3. What do you think?

Did someone say blueberry cobbler?

Greetings! I'm so excited to get a chance to join my friends, Owen and Aki and Emma in the world of blogger-dom.
So I guess I have some catching up to do, since it's been a month already.
Let's start from when I got my first whiff of blueberry nectarine cobbler. It was a typical Monday for me. I was my usual content self, although getting a little squished in the womb. I thought, sure I can hang out here another 3 weeks.. no problem-o.
But then, I got a whiff of something so divine... What is that sweet aroma? Say what? My Mummy is making a blueberry nectarine cobbler! Papa had bought all this fruit in bulk (like he always does) and Mummy was trying to use it. After I smelled this goodness, I thought, what greater place could be out there in the world?
Sure enough, I started to work out a plan. I waited until my Papa was nice and asleep and jumped up and down on my Mum's bladder like I always do at 3am. Then just when she went to the bathroom, I reached out and broke my water sack to let her know I was coming (after all, I didn't want to make a big mess.) 4 hours later, I braved the cold, new world screaming like a banshee (no one tells you how cold it really is). My Mum probably wanted a touch more notice and keeps muttering something about not having time for an epidural.. but I don't know what she's talking about. After all, who could miss out on blueberry nectarine cobbler?!
I came out at 7:08am on June 9th and was 6lb 8oz (2970 g), 19inches long, and had a head circumference of 34.5cm.
Here's the recipe she tweaked from the food network. The following include her alterations:
Filling: 21 oz of fresh blueberries, 3 nectarines, and 1 peach (all the extra fruit we had in the house); 3/4 cup of sugar; 1 T cornstarch; 2T diced, unsalted butter
Topping: 1.5 cups of flour; 1/3 cup sugar; 2.25 tsp baking powder; 0.5 tsp salt; 6T cold, diced unsalted butter; 1 large egg; 0.5 cup cream
Preheat oven to 375. Leave the skin on the fruit and cut into wedges and toss with sugar and cornstarch. Place in a 9x13 buttered pan and dot with 2T of butter. For topping, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Rub 2 T of butter with fingers until not visible. Rub remaining 4T until even, and then whisk egg and cream to pour into dry ingredients for dough.
Spoon dough in clumps randomly on top of fruit. Bake for 40-45min until golden and toothpick comes out clean from the topping.
You'll have to ask Papa how good it was, since I don't think Mummy got to eat much of it.
Time to sleep, but more pictures soon.
