A girl named Widget

Widget vs. the sippy cup

Well, since I’ve always tried to steal Mommy’s water from her, she decided to let me use my sippy cups (a baby shower present). Daddy screwed up and took the rubbery plastic plugs out of the lid ’cause he didn’t know what they were for. Now my sippy cups leaks! These are photos of me drinking water out of my sippy cup. Don’t worry, I’m never allowed to drink very much water. The doctor says only 2-4 oz. Widget 0, Sippy Cups 1

A walk to the beach

I’ve been going on lots of walks lately. We almost always stop by the park on the way to the beach. I like to watch the other kids play. I sometimes jump up and down and squeal and laugh at them. Daddy pretended I was a big kid and took me down the slide. They even put me in the swing and got all excited and shouted "Yeah!" as I oscillated gently at a pace a fly wouldn’t notice.

The beach holds no particular charms for me other than another place folks congregate. I like to watch them there, too. Adults seem to think walking up and down the path is nice. I sometimes complain and demand to be carried so I can see better. This time I got to eat on the beach.

I am 5-months old today!

Can you believe I’ve been around for 5 months? We celebrated by taking a family trip to Costco and then stopping by the Hawaiian BBQ place so my parents could pig out. 

I’m now unofficially between 15.5 and 15.8 pounds (my daddy’s estimate. We won’t get my official weigh in until 6 months). My hair is getting thicker but you can still see my scalp. I can burp on command. And since I’ve finally been able to taste some real food, my daddy pulled out the Diaper Genie instead of just tossing my diapers into the trashcan. Now, there is never any doubt when I have a poopy diaper.

Since I haven’t been  posting all my adventures in the past few months, I finally had time to catch up. So don’t miss the back-dated posts:

• Cute Fest III
• New photos added to Stick to Your Knitting
• A video of my first real food (for those who consider rice cereal real food).
• A photo of my first two teeth at 4.5 months!
• What I do with my daddy — type this blog!
• Playing with the alphabet slideshow.
• Learning about another girl named Widget (!!)
• Something I learned from my daddy…
• And I added more photos to my Chinese New Year celebrations.

Cute Fest III

If your like me you have a backlog of cuteness. These photos are from February and March

Stick to your Knitting!

My friend Diana knitted this neato blanket for me with her bare hands! Well, maybe not her bare hands; she did have those little pointy things to work with. I’ve already put it to good use. I went on a stroller outing to downtown in the evening. They say it’s Spring, but it sure seems cool to me.  Since this is my first Spring ever, I can’t really compare it to anything except Winter. And it sure seems a lot like Winter to me.

I have some sad news to report. Mommy has gone back to work! Daddy is taking care of me in the daytime a few days a week. And Ah Ma and Kong Kong are getting a work out on the other days. That sure is nice of them.

Yum yum! My first food

I’ve sucked on cantaloupe, oranges and apples but never was able to bite or swallow. I loved it though. Mommy and daddy finally caved and gave me some real food. Well, banana-rice mush. But I’ll take it! Or at least I thought I would…

Happy Easter!

Here’s a picture of me and my bunny. She’s not made of chocolate but I like to eat her anyway. This is also my easter outfit that my Ah-ma gave me. I spit up on the bunny bib. Sorry Ah-ma!
