Day 139 (Oct. 29)

You could turn over very easy from this morning. You pretty enjoyed it, so you rolled over again and again. You cried at night. We didn't find out the reason. You just cried before sleep. When I held you, you stopped to smile and happily stood on my thighs. When I put you down, you started crying. After almost an hour, you showed your sleepy eyes. Finally, you went to bed.

You pooped one time today, but not in shape. It was Loose and watery Stool. I thought you might eat something wrong or your tummy got cold for some reason. You ate three times cereal and two tablespoon 2nd baby food(peach&strawberry).

Day 137 (Oct.27)

Today is mommy's birthday. Daddy took you and mommy to the Greet Wall buffet. You acted so active. You didn't like to lie in the car seat. You tried to sit up, but you couldn't. For showing your grievance, you started wiggling and crying. Then the only thing we could do was holding you during having dinner. After holding you, you were happy. You tried to reach the food, but we couldn't let you. You grows bigger than your age. We met a older baby who was night and half months old. She is only 25th percentile weight, but you are 95th percentile weight. I am not sure if it is good or not, but I hope you are health for ever.

Day 136 (Oct. 26)

You turned over by yourself for the first time this morning. I am so happy for you. You are growing so fast. A few weeks ago, you could laugh sometime, but you could laugh with sound continually tonight.

You didn't poop during daytime. Therefore, I didn't feed you cereal for the second time until you pooped at night. You didn't cry tonight for some reason.

Day133-Day 135 (Oct. 23- Oct. 25)

Great weather!! You did great this weekend. We found that your poop was in shape. That means you eat enough solid food. We let you try carrot baby food on Saturday. You seemed like it. You didn't like the turkey & sweet potato one. We played with this weekend, you were really happy.

Day 132 (Oct. 22)

We let you try egg yolk last night. You seemed not like it at all. We mixed it to the cereal, you only ate a little and then you turn your face away. You are smart. When we tried to feed you again, you just bit your lip to reject the food. Then we had to gave up feeding you the egg yolk.

Today, you were doing just fine. You didn't cry much during the daytime, but you indeed cried at night. Not much, but cried. You like watching TV and enjoy every colorful thing. I found that when you were alone, you were staring at some pictures or the TV, meanwhile sucking your fingers. I guess your vision is getting clearer gradually, so you can be attracted by some colorful things. By this month, you are having big changes. You take a stab at crawling and can recognize the bottle and the spoon. So now it's really important to keep up the proper nutrition for you, so you can stay healthy and strong.

Day 131 (Oct. 21)

You tried to turn over by yourself today, but you failed finally. You didn't give up after the first try, and you tried again and again. Come on, my girl. Mommy cheers for you. I know you did your best and I am sure, you will know how to turn over very soon. Good girl!

In addition, there was a funny thing happened while you were turning over. You tried to lick the sheet, during turning over. That's the funny part. I would let you know later some day. :-)

These days you pooped well. Therefore, I can feed you more baby food in the future.

Day 130 (Oct. 20)

You slept a lot today. When you were awake, I put you in the walker and you seemed start to like it from now on. You tried to figure out how the toys work, and also you tried to reach them by your mouth. You still suck your fingers when you get a time. When you suck your fingers, your face gets wet too. Therefore, you get some rash on your face sometime. But the rash soon disappears when your face is dry again. We got you another walker today, but you still could not reach the ground. You have to grow one more inch to touch the ground.

You had figured out how to reach the toys and you licked the toys as well tonight. We took a few pictures for you when you were licking the toys on the walker. Those pictures would be the evidence in the future. That was so funny. :-)

Day 129 (Oct. 19)

Everything went normal so far. You ate, took a nap, cried, and then ate again, then played in your walker for a while and then you took a nap again~~~

Day 126- Day 128(Oct. 16-Oct.18)

Oct. 16

You didn't poop the whole day on Friday. I think maybe it is because you ate too much cereal yesterday. You cried a lot because of that. Your tummy was like a balloon. I guess the cereal may lay heavy on your stomach. Therefore, we didn't feed you any cereal and formula, we fed you breast milk instead because breast milk is easy to digest.

We took you to target store to try the walkers and exersaucer. You seems like the walker. Although it is too small for you, you were happy in it. Then we decided to find another one for you in other stores. We don't want to order one online because we are not sure if you will like it or not.

Oct. 17

We took you to WIC appointment first, and then we went to Walmart for your walker. We found a princess walker for you. As soon as we got home, your daddy assembled it and let you try. It is too high for you, even the lowest level,your feet can not touch the floor. You still need to grow one more inch to touch the ground. If you don't like it, we need to find another one for you later. At the first time, you sat in the walker only a few minutes, you started wiggling. The toys set on the walker were not attracted at all. Perhaps, you didn't like the single color. We will let you play on it for a while, if you really don't like it, we will try to find another one.

Finally, you pooped today, and you pooped four times. The first time it was a little bit drier than the other days'. The other times were normal.

Oct. 18

Sunny day, and it's Sunday. You and your daddy didn't get up until 11:00am. After lunch, I took you to TJMax and the Mall for a walk. You like to go outside. You were so quite during that time. Once we got home, you started unhappy.

Friday, October 16, 2009

Day 125 (Oct. 15)

We let you try one bite baby food last night. Your face looked very funny. You seemed not like banana. I didn't try it, it smells sour. Maybe you don't like sour at all, you are just like your daddy. Your daddy fed you much cereal, and you were happy to eat it too. I hope you can poop well tomorrow.

Day 124 (Oct. 14)

You are about teething right now. Because of that, you become fussy recently. You cry a lot, especially at night. You liked people to hold you all the time during night. When we put you down, you cry immediately.You started drooling from a week ago, and now it increases. You like to chew things when you feel uncomfortable or hungry, but you only chewed your fingers when you were hungry before. According to these signs, I guess you are about teething now.

Your daddy fed you some cereal with milk in the morning. You seemed having no appetite. Then we fed you again at night with egg yolk with milk. You ate about one fourth egg yolk. This is the second time for you to try eggs. You didn't eat much milk each time. You only ate about 40-60 ml each time, so it only could last a short time then you would be hungry again.

Day 119(Oct. 9)----Day 123(Oct. 13)

Oct.9

Today, you were doing well. Finally, the weekend is about here. Your daddy can help me to take care of you this weekend. There will be a picnic party at central park this Sunday. We would like to take you there and meet some people.

We took you to go grocery this evening. It was pretty cold outside, but you seemed not mind it at all. I fed you some cereal today. I will try to feed you more cereal from tomorrow and let you get ready for more baby food.

Oct. 10

The weather become cold these days. Today was very cold. You and your daddy didn't get up until noon. You didn't eat much milk today, but your daddy indeed fed you much baby cereal this afternoon. After that, we went to Post Oak Mall for fun. Then we went to Toyrus and TJmax. We bought two big boxes diapers for you. You are growing so fast, so we don't really know when you will grow out of size 3 diaper. Therefore, we chose to buy one box size 3 and one box size 4. You were so quite when you were in Mall, but when you got home, you were not quite any more. You started to cry and wanted us to hold you all the time. Your daddy fed you baby cereal again. You didn't eat this much cereal before, so I guess that would be the reason that made you cry.
You only pooped one time today. That would be the sign for eating too much baby cereal. A few hours later, you pooped and then slept soon.

Oct.11

It was cloudy when I got up this morning. The picnic was held at 4:00pm at Central Park. It had been raining since 12:30pm. I thought it might be still raining around 4:00pm, but it stopped around 3:30pm. Then we decided to go to the picnic. Although it was freezing cold after the rain, there were many parents took their babies to attend the picnic party. You were the youngest one. You were very quite when you met those new faces. People said that you were big for your age. Maybe you are, but that doesn't mean anything. The only thing we care is that you are healthy so far. After half an hour, you were sleepy and then took a nap in the stroller. I was afraid that you might catch a cold if you went out door in such a cold day for a long time. But not as I was worried about, you were doing well at that time. Your body temperature were normal all the time. Your hands and face weren't cold at all. I am so happy for you to meet so many people today. If there will be any chance for you meet people that you don't know, I would like to take to meet them. For that could make you not fear of strangers.

Oct. 12

Your grandma talked to you online today. You were pretty happy. You smiled all the time. You didn't eat cereal today. While I was feeding you, you spilled the cereal onto the laptop. Then very soon, the keyboard didn't work well. they were not pressed down because of the sticky cereal was underneath the keyboard. And also it wasn't easy to clean. :-) Never mind, that wasn't your fault. It was mommy's.

At night, you daddy fed you cereal again, and this time, you ate some.


Oct. 13

You got your third immunization shot today. One oral, two shots. You didn't cry when you got the oral and the first shot, but you cried a little bit for the second shot. Daddy and mommy's good girl!!!You were so brave. Daddy and mommy were so proud of you. When you got home, you were about hungry. You ate about 130ml, played your toys for a while and then you had a nap.

Day 118

This early morning, you woke up around 3:40 and stayed awake for almost one hour. Do you know why? Because you didn't want to change your sleep position. You like to lie on your right side, but you are not supposed to do that. Your right head is still flat but your left side head and your back head is not. I was forced you to lie on your back head, but you didn't like to do that. Therefore, you tried to against me. Because of that, you daddy woke up too. He put you on the futon, and then you slept again. During the day time, you didn't eat much. I was afraid that you might be hungry, but you just ate a little. It was about 50-70ml every three hours. I didn't know why, but I hoped you could eat more tomorrow.

You could played toys for a while by yourself on the swing.

the 117 day (Oct 7)

Today, you didn't want to lie down too. Mommy needed to hold you all the time when you cried. You talked a lot with your own language. Mommy was really happy to talk to you, but mommy could not always company with you. When mommy needed to do other things, you cried. The funny thing was happened this afternoon. You was lying on the futon, holding your fist, and talking to it. But only after a while, you were bored again. And then, you staring at us. It seemed that you wanted our attention. You are smart, but naughty.

the 116 day

You cried a lot last night. Daddy and mommy were really exhausted.

Sweet heart, you did well today. You could roll over with my little help today. That was a really great sign. Very soon, you will roll over by yourself. Your daddy let you lie on your chest, you only could move a little bit. You ate much today. You ate a little rice cereal and 130ml breast milk this morning. Suddenly, you could eat 190ml in one hour this afternoon. You cried a little bit tonight, but you didn't want to lie down before sleep. So your daddy said that he would memorize all these things and let you pay back when you grow up someday. You are an active little baby.

the 115th day (Oct 5th)

You didn't do well today. When I was busy doing other stuff, you cried a lot today. You cried about an hour long without stop. I was so worried about you, so I called your daddy for help to take care of you around 2:45pm . When your daddy was back, changed your diaper and fed you, you was happy again. But very soon, we met another problem. You didn't want to lie down, you would like to sit on my lap or stand up with our help. This made us very tired, so we decided to buy a walker for you to stand in later someday. You are not a quiet baby at all. You are very very active.

You finally could eat pure formula today, but you didn't eat much. You could eat only about 100ml for one time. Usually, you can eat 120-140ml for one time. That's a good beginning, for later I will formula feed you instead of breastfeeding. I hope you can do well with formula feeding.

the 114th day (Oct 4)

the 114th day(OCT 4)

Sweetie heart, When Daddy and Mommy took you to Ross today, we found that you didn't like to lie in the car seat for the first time. You hold your head up highly. It seemed like you would like to sit by yourself instead of lying in the car seat with seat belts, but you couldn't do anything except talking to mommy with your own language. You seemed to tell me that I didn't like to lying in here, I would like to sit up. This sign proves that you are growing and growing. We were so pleased to see this. We chose three beautiful suits for you in Ross and hoped you would like them.

Halloween is coming soon. Daddy and Mommy would like to buy a fancy costume for you, but you are too young to know how funny the costume is. Therefore, we chose one shirt with a smiling face in orange and one panty with black and orange strips. Then you will be a pumpkin baby this Halloween.

Today, you were doing well. You ate every two to three hours and didn't cry a lot.

Start my journal

Alice is growing. The day before yesterday was Alice's first Mid-Autumn Day. We went to a friend's house. She has two sons, one is three and half years old, the other one is almost five months old. She reminded me that I should write journals for my baby girl. She mentioned that she was wrote journals for her first son, so right now she could compare her first sons' signs with her second one's. That's a good way for taking care of the second baby, and also she thought she could remind him some funny things when he grows up. Yes, I agree with her. Therefore, I decided to write journals every day as well. I would like to remind Alice her childhood through my journal.

Feel lonely

I wish my parents were here with me.I miss them very much, especially these days. My health is not as good as before. This makes me pretty sad and hopeless. In addition, I pay more time on taking care of Alice, so I feel lonely after Alice's birth. It's not postpartum depression,it just comes when Alice cries. Maybe all new moms will have this kind of feeling. In spite of that, I am still happy when she smiles to me. I always console myself with the thought that she will grow healthily and happily under my protection. And then I will never regret for having her, but I still feel like I need other people's care too.I was planing to go back China for a few months, but I postponed it. Due to the awful disease,hand-feet-mouth disease, I couldn't keep my plan. I don't want my baby have any disease. I would rather keep her in a safe place. How can I avoid suffering from this lonely feeling? ???:-(
