I know it's a month early, but we wanted to beat the crowd and take pics with Santa!

That's right, I'm three months old! Boy oh boy, time really does fly. Mommy and Daddy say that I'm a big boy, and I suppose I agree. But hey, that's a good thing :) Anyway, here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

7 weeks old today!

Today my Mommy, Daddy, Wan and I are going for a buka puasa do in East Lansing. It is going to be a long drive, and Mommy and Daddy are really nervous about it...because I'm not a fan of my carseat! Most of the time, when I'm in it, I'll cry the whole drive through. They're hoping that today will be a little bit different, though. We'll see. Hehehe ;D

My Daddy trimmed my nails the other day, so now I don't have to wear mittens because I'm not able to scratch my face anymore. Being able to see and touch and suck my fingers has been interesting. I'm also learning to grip things. My favorite thing to grip is my Mommy's clothes...mostly so I can get to my food source.

I've got a new toy too! Its a play gym and its a lot of fun!

Well, I'm off to take an afternoon nap. My naps aren't too long now because I'm learning to sleep for longer stretches at night...much to my Mommy's delight!

Long Overdue Post!

Well, I've been so busy, I've forgotten all about this journal!

I am now one month old! I was born on August 10, 2007, at 7.03pm. At birth, I weighed 6 pounds 1 ounce, and measured 19 inches tall. My mommy gave birth to me after around 11 hours of labor and 1 hour of pushing.

The past month has been interesting...I've grown a lot. I now weigh more than 7 pounds, and I measure more than 22 inches tall! The doctor says I'm doing great and attributes this to what my Mommy calls her "boob juice".

I'm looking forward to growing some more!

Hi!

Well, I haven't much to say right now...I'm only an 18-week-old fetus, after all.

My parents had an ultrasound last week to see me for the first time, and I put on a real show! I showed them that I am indeed a boy, to remove all doubt. I also danced around a lot and even gave one good karate kick, which my mommy and daddy found very amusing.

The ultrasound lady said that I am 12cm long and that I weigh a good 9oz. I'm a big boy!

Alright then, I'm off with my mommy and daddy to an International Festival at their university. They are all dressed up and daddy said that with me in mommy's belly, her traditional kebaya outfit looks weird.

Till next time, take care!
