Nathan's 1st month home...with grandparents love and care every day

10/23 Nathan's 5 day old and celebrate his 1st Halloween with both grandparents

We try to make the hand print and toe print for Nathan..
But even though he is 5 days old...he still respond very fast of withdrawing his hands from the cold...sticky thing........As a result...we failed...well....have to try again later..

10/19 The day our baby boy arrived

nathan's sleeping face...

Nathan-13 weeks (91 days) 憲瑞跟他的小猴子毛巾

憲瑞已經三個月大了 他每天都吃好 睡好 起床的時候都是笑嘻嘻的伸懶腰
吃完奶也都是一臉滿足的樣子 大家都說我們很幸運有一個脾氣好好的乖寶寶

出門的時候 他都會裝文靜 都安安靜靜的左看右看 很興奮的都不太在外面睡覺但是也不會吵

在家裡的時候 他很愛說話 很喜歡被抱 但是有時候也挺獨立的 要自己玩 不要爸媽睡他的旁邊 睡著了還會用手用腳一直努力的把我們推開 有時候卻又很膩者我們 睡著了會自己慢慢轉面向媽媽 身手抱媽媽

憲瑞太可愛了 我們捨不得三個月就把他托到日托中心 聽大部分的朋友都說太小的寶寶去那邊常常都會互相傳染感冒 所以我決定多在家待幾個月陪他 也努力享受看他長大的快樂 希望將這段寶貴短暫的嬰兒時期記憶好好記錄起來 讓疼他的台灣家人跟美國看

Nathan's 3 month old now :-))))

Sorry it took so long for me to update..I just so much enjoyed......and overwhelmed..with all the baby related issues and wasn't able to keep our blog updated...I will try to post more pictures soon..

After a long debate......I decided to stay home for few more months with my baby. He grows so fast and every day makes so much progress in his growth...and in his emotion expression...in his eye concerntration...There are many things I want to do during this maternity-off.....otherever......I found myself often just enjoyed so much of watching...feeding...holding..my baby boy and other things......or.......nothing...so far seems able to interest me more than my baby.

It's a strange thing..even after 3 month....I still can't believe my baby is here now. I guess it's because we've been waited for this baby for a long time..:-) A true Best Christmas Gift we received this year..THANK YOU SANTA!!!

Nathan is now doubled his birth weight..now he is 17lb and 24.25 inches long..Doctor said his height is top 10%..weight is top 3%.....Little bit.....eat too well....:-P

We took a picture of him today when he held his favorite monkey blanket..he love to kiss/bite the monkey..and guarded the monkey so well..even when he is sleeping..

Also..Thanks to Serra..she gave us a set of Baby's sunglass....it looks funny on Nathan..and we happen to receive some Hawaii Shirts for him as well........so we decided to give him a "VERY California" look...Aaron dressed him very well..and it was very warm yesterday (90 F=30C)..so we were lucky enough to take a Sunny California Picture during the "supposed to be cold" Janunary.......I hope you guys in the West US don't get too jealous of us :-)))

And ........the final one..not the least one...one Celebrity picture of Nathan.." Don't take any more pictures of me!!!! I am not drunk....only 9 bottles....milk today.." :-)

What have we been up to?

Dear friends, we have been busy with the baby, posting videos to

After January 1 we plan to post more stories here.

Happy holidays!

Our Baby misses his days a fetus!

The baby enjoys being wrapped up; so comfortable to be back in this pose; even if it is the wrong side of the belly

Grandparent play time

Here is Nathan seeing his reflection and playing on his baby gym. After these exercise sessions he sleeps like a baby, totally exhausted from all the attention and all the stimulation.

Exercising on a baby gym

Well he doesn't quite get it at age 15 days, but this is his exercise gym. He probably can't see all the colors yet, but at least he is learning the Chinese words for "look at this."
