I took these two pictures in Mina's Xmas party. Aren't they just cute? Both of them got a present from Aunite Mina and we had tons of fun.

Sleep Training

Starting this week, we decided to give Carson sleep training to help him learn how to fall asleep on his own. There are many different way of doing it and we chose the "Ferber Method". It's a method that tells you to put your baby down while he's drowsy but awake and let him go to sleep on his own but not depending on the parents. As what we expected, he didn't like the arrangement and was protesting by crying. Then it comes the hardest part. The key to make this work is......LET HIM CRY for at least 3 to 5 mins and don't pick him up.

This is really one of the most difficult moments in my life. Hearing him cry makes me cried with him. I know it's silly but can't help it. Hopefully, he will go through this in couple nights or I may just give up and keep spoil him.

6-Month check up

Baby Carson had his 6-month check-up last Friday, Oct 10th. He's now 16lb 5.4 oz(7,410g) and 26.5 inches (67.31cm). Compare to other 6-month babies in the states, he's at 27% tile weight and 50% tile height. He's actually catching up in height (from 36% tile to 50%) but falls behind average in weight. Not sure if it's because he exercises a lot at the day care or he needs more food. Since we started feeding him solid food, hopefully he will gain more weight.

Sit up!!

Carson can finally sit up. Although he can't sit for too long, I'm still very happy about his great achievement. Congratulations!!

First Kiss!!

Carson's first kiss was taken by Claire. Look how cute they are. haha~

6-Month: Introducing the Solid Food

Today is Carson's 6-Month birthday. The big milestone for 6-month is able to eat solid food. I bought rice cereal and baby food couple weeks ago and was waiting for this moment. Glenda and cutie Claire joined us for the great event of Carson's and helped me, the silly mommy, making Carson's first bowl of rice cereal.

When the feeding time came, I was even more excited that Carson , haha~. He was okay with the food. The first spoon of rice cereal, he stuck his tongue out and tasted it to see if he likes the flavor. And after evaluation, he decided to have the second bite. However, he lost his patient after a while and looked for some really "meal".

It was fun watching him eat and we'll keep feeding him solid food starts from now.

Happy 6-month birthday!!

Hanging out with Mommy

Last Saturday, Carson and mommy had a wonderful time hanging out at home. I love listen to him talk. Looks like he has some thought that he wants to share with mommy. Hope he will still do that when he grows up. hehe.

4 Months check up

We went to do the 4 months check up today. Carson right now is 15 lb (6.8kg) and 24.5 inch (~62.23cm) which are 50% on weight and 36% on height. He took 3 vaccine shots and 2 oral ones. With blessing, he's healthy and getting stronger.

Carson talks and smiles a lot. He likes to watch sports with daddy, listen mommy singing lullaby to him, and check himself out in a mirror.

We'll keep the good work and hopefully he will get taller and reach the average height on the next check up.

First time turn-over

Last weekend, our little Carson finally can turn-over. He didn't like tummy time too much so we didn't give him too much exercises of turning over. Last Saturday, I was kinda wondering how strong his neck and hands are, so I put him on the play ground we got from Julia and all the sudden, he turned over. Congratulations, baby, to achieve your next milestone.

First day to school

今天是我們家寶貝去上學的一天, 本來是我要送他去的, 怎知公司的系統天殺的在今天給我壞壞去, 實在走不開, 只好請Super Daddy 回家一趟來接他. 其實從昨天開始, 我就懷著捨不得的心情, 雖然知道小寶在那裡他們會好好的照顧他, 他也可以學學新東西 玩游戲 交朋友, 但是這畢竟是三個月來我們第一次分開, 果真, 小寶才剛被爸爸抱到車上, 我就開始好想他了~~

可愛又堅強的小寶, 媽咪知道你一定會乖乖的在day care, 希望You will have a good time on your first day at school. Miss you~~

Happy 2 Months Old Birthday

Our little Carson is 2 months old now. We went to the hospital for the regular check up and also took 3 vaccine shots. He was brave and only cried a little bit while I was pretty weak and went out while he was taking shots. Sorry baby, mommy would be very sad if I saw you get hurt.

We also got the measurement of his weight and height. He's 12 lbs 4.5 oz and 22.5 inches tall. Comparing to other 2-month old babies, he's above average in weight but below average in height. Hopefully he will catch up soon.

Please forgive the lazy mommy who updates the blog so infrequently:P I'll also update some photos of him in my album ASAP.

Carson's first bath

Today, baby Carson took his first bath at the Yueh-Zhi Center and he seems enjoy the service very much. In the beginning he was kinda surprised by the water but very soon he starts getting used to it and enjoying it. Right now it should be easy to give him bath since he's still little but when he gets bigger and heavier, I guess the bath time will be a challenge for us. :P

Days in Yueh-Zhi Center

Baby Carson is getting bigger everyday. Like all the babies, all he does every day is eating, sleeping, peeing and pooping. But sometimes, he likes to being awake and hang out with us. He also smiles a lot.

After grandma and grandpa coming to visit him, he's been spoiled. Whenever he makes a sound, all of us will jump up and go check on him or hold him.

Carson is really lucky to have all the love from our family and friends. Thanks for all of you who have come visiting us or sent us the warm wishes.
