Happy 2nd b-day, Ramen!

Ramen is 2 years old already, I still remember the first time she's on my arm, how tiny she was, now she's fully grown up and I couldn't easily hold her for a while due to the heaviness. Upon Ryan's arrival, Ramen surely lost her princess seat, I often felt sorry for her but really don't have much time to play with her, barely keep myself above the water nowadays. Sorry Ramen...

How's life over there?

Tow chatted me on Yahoo: Hey, how's life over there?
me: Life? What u mean life? There's no life here now... :D

6周大了！

I can sit now, uh... not really... :)

Ryan昨天已经6周大了，表姐说他长的象百天的小孩子。

我端着奶瓶在喂他，R在一边看，突然冒出一句：我看Ryan象个少爷。

可不是吗，他有专职的司机加厨师(泡奶粉的）－ 他爸爸， 奶妈加女佣（洗奶瓶和洗衣服）－ 他妈妈我，真是一少爷呀！

他吃饱喝足了，懒洋洋的躺在我身上，斜着眼睛眯缝着看着我，这哪里只是一少爷，整个一 “大爷 （da4 ye2) ”呀。。。

Happy father's day!

See what I dig from Flickr after it merged with my old Yahoo photos. I can't remember which year it is, but the old fun time is just like yesterday...

Ryan's 2nd week

As a friend said, I am in "House arrest" period... this Chinese "sit for a month" thing is killing me, I am not even allowed to go downstairs... :) baby is growing so fast and we are trying to capture every moment with him... this morning, I made a little homepage for him at here.

Baby Ryan says Hi!

大难临头，你会怎么做？

在infant CPR课上，老师特别说了在救别人的时候，一定要先确保自己的安全。她举了前不久在Oakland发生的一起火灾中，哥哥已经逃出了，又冲进屋里去就弟弟，最后俩人都没出来。昨晚在看四川的新闻，在学校里哭的死去活来的父母们，一个个蒙着脸的小学生们，心里一阵阵的难过。

回头问R：“如果发生什么事，你逃了出去，你还会回来救我吗？”
R抬头看了我一眼：“那当然。”
我心里一痛：“那Ryan怎么办？要是爸爸妈妈都没了，小孩子不是很可怜”。眼泪已经不争气的掉了下来。。。
R走了过来抱着我的头：”怎么这么傻呢，会发生什么事呢？”
我哽咽了半天：“那我们说好了，要是真有什么事发生，我们谁也不许救谁！”
R没说话，抱着我的手更紧了。。。

大难临头，你会这么做吗？

在家待产

这礼拜开始在家待产。周一去做了第3次的超声波，大概已经有6磅多了，再次确定是个boy. 医生本来想给照张正面大特写，可他不合作，一直低着头，医生说从侧面挤着拍，一定象个小alien, 建议不拍了。昨天下午去了babiesRus, 搬了一车东西回来，天哪，小孩东西可真多呀。。。好像永远买不全一样。今天一会还得出去，又一长list的购物单，难怪"Baby Bargain" 书上说养一孩子到18岁，得准备1ml呢。。。 我晕。。。

下周就算是full term baby了，这周还是要特小心。进院的包包还没准备了，婴儿房也没好。。。我还在玩PackRat。。。

My neice Elizabeth is 7 months old already...

We went to Cooper's 1st b-day party yesterday. Roland was practicing his fatherhood by holding Ethan - the adorable 7-wk old babe. He looked pretty intense here, relax, man... :D

It was a wonderful 6-day trip, due to the pregnancy, we couldn't do much outdoor activities like hiking, horse riding, we spent the most time on the beach and hunting down the good food... :)

So, how am i doing?

I am already half way done and it's a boy! Funny thing is that people are suggesting their names to me to name my little boy. So far we landed on "Ryan" for now, it's hard to find names we both like starting with a "R"... Little boy is starting kick hard, and I am really getting bigger, and... urg... fat too... :)
