Happy 100 days my little Sofia! :)
How incredible.
Daddy came home last night from Germany... he brought home fun stuff- like sweet mustard, honey and even chocolates from london! He also got mommy an extremely nice present- a hermes watch! it's simple and lovely. :) we missed daddy and i'm glad he's home.
But unfortunately today, his back was hurting, so he has gone to the massage place, instead of eating dinner with us to celebrate your 100 days. But i guess that's okay since you don't really know it anyhow... hopefully his back feels better after he is done. maybe he can bring mommy home some food too. haha.
Today was nice though, we had lunch with mommy's old team-- and they had so much fun playing with you! you were VERY well behaved, and you are getting so good at going out, letting people hold you. :) everyone took some photos with you too. you're so cute sofia! :)
After lunch we went for a walk, but i think because everyone had kept you up and were playing with you, you fell right asleep! (as mommy knew you would)... but we walked around the park until about 3 in the afternoon and came home & you slept in your stroller until about 430.
it's such a blessing to have you, watch you grow healthy and strong... happy, smiling and laughing, and it just makes us so happy to see you happy sofia... i hope that mommy and daddy can keep you smiling and laughing forever and ever.
happy 100 little girl.
love mommy and daddy

Happy 3 Months little Sofia!
Yay! Day 92, aka 3 months!
The time (i'll say it again), flies so fast. You are adorable as ever. You love to talk, especially when your diaper is getting changed. You smile in the morning when we say good morning to you. You smile when you see Daddy (more than seeing anyone else). You know Mommy, Daddy, Mila and Grandma. You laughed at Grandpa the other day so hard you almost choked! You're sleeping about 5-6 hrs a night now, even if it's at 3am, till 9am. Then sleep again from 11am to the afternoon 2-3ish. Everyone loves you more and more each day.and mommy is so thankful you're a happy and healthy baby.
***
this past Sunday we finally got to meet up with Joan, Ray and Leeton! He's adorable though has this air of an old man... he has horrible skin allergies joan says and cannot hold his neck up yet. It doesn't phase us how strong you really are, or how advanced until we see other babies. Sofia, you're so alert, so interested in everything... mommy hopes you are getting enough stimulation and seeing enough so that you are learning more and more everyday... I want to teach you as much as I can, and stay home with you as much possible, and daddy has been wonderful in letting me do so. I do need to start working on your line as it's already the 23rd and the deadline is the 28th, so that should be done soon...
mommy and daddy are so proud of you, everyday as you learn more and observe more...mommy is so happy i can be with you all the time (except for dinners out with dad occasionally), and that you are our little girl....
happy 3 month old birthday our little sofia!
we love you.
xxxxooooooooo

february 17th.
The month is flying by.
When you have a little one, you realize just how quickly the time really passes. I guess this means we need to make the most of it, really. :)
This morning Sofia and I were playing in bed. She actually grabbed my finger and decided to put it into her mouth. *lick* She missed her mouth a few times but eventually she got it and *lick* into her mouth. Good thing I washed my hands just before... but i forsee this is what's to come... everything into the mouth! haha.
She is such a blessing... so cute.
We were supposed to go to have lunch this afternoon with Monica and Ben but it's only about 11C out, and a bit drizzling, so I decided we should just stay home. She's sleeping now and it's 330pm, so we'll have to wake her up soon since she's been sleeping since about 12:30 i think.
So cute. I'm so in love. :)
xxoo

Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Valentines Day! Happy 12 weeks!
A holiday packed weekend indeed. One with lots of family, lunches, dinners, and celebration. :)
Friday night the 12th was Adrian & Joleen's wedding dinner. Mela watched Sofia at home, and also Rowena, the new helper. I'm still a bit hesitant for her to start, as i don't feel totally comfortable leaving her alone with Sofia, even Mela alone sometimes as Mela doesn't always wash her hands when she touches/plays with Sofia. Though I guess I'm a bit too anal with the germs things... esp since now Sofia is starting to put her hands in her mouth- need to be careful but I guess the germs help build her immune system...?
Saturday the 13th we went to yuen long for dinner. Sofia was pretty good... slept, ate, didn't cry too much. :) that night we came home and watched sherlock holmes and she slept thru it (we finished at ~1am). unfortunately though she didn't want to go back to sleep until almost 8/9am... with naps between... i was really tired by the morning, and that probably was the shortest temper i have had thus far... only because knowing we had to go to lunch the next day (sunday) for CNY at abu/agongs... luckily m helped out a bit in the early morning so that i did sleep, for about half and hour. but i think that's really the first time i was the most impatient. At least the rest of the day went okay...
Sunday, 14th, Happy Valentines day! Happy Chinese New Year! We went to abu/agong's for lunch, and uncle boris/auntie virginia lesley and jeffrey were there. Sofia was pretty good, sleeping at first then woke up towards the end only, which was good. Mela makes her laugh, probably because she plays with her when she is here, though really, it is important for babies to sleep - mary told me that babies under 2 should sleep at 730 and need a full nights' rest! i wish we were closer- as she's such a great mommy i'm sure. plus JT is adorable! Anyhow, lunch at Abu's then we went to Kaiyehyeh/Kai Mama's house to see them. It was the first time Kaimama saw Sofia. It was nice to see them. Kaiyehyeh is starting to eat lifepak too, which is good. He says he feels the difference as well, so I'm glad that we're able to help, by me marrying Michael, mom able to help his family and the people around them. :) Anyhow, we had a lovely pizza dinner for valentine's day... :) yum. pizza.
Oh! but something SO cute- mommy was changing you and found a fuzz in your right armpit, i tried to take it out and what did i hear? *giggle*, so i did it again, tickling you... *giggle*giggle*! ahhh so cute!!!!!! i love you sofia!!
Monday 15th, Today we went to yuen long again for lunch at yehyeh/mama's. It was yummy, as usual. Sofia was a good girl, actually she was really good today! having fun, playing with yeh yeh, taking photos, even jumping with auntie joyce. she must've been extreely tired after all that playing since she fell right asleep as we were leaving. it was cute though, she even laughed aloud! her little giggle is the most precious thing. it melts my heart. Yehyeh looked SO happy. It was so cute. :) After yuen long we went back to grandma/grandpa wong's house where some other aunties/uncles came to see sofia, though i think you were tired so you were getting cranky... it's okay. we came home and you took a nap after eating. Mommy and daddy had mcd's (oh geez for junk food this weekend!) then we all passed out from food coma.
We woke up and you got your bath and afterwards mommy put you down on your playmat and OH YAY!! You grabbed your bumble bee! this was the first time you ever grabbed your toy-- although yesterday you did already start to notice, each time you pushed the bumblebee, the butterfly would sing... anyhow, mommy is so proud of you!! What an exciting accomplishment!!
Mommy has also been playing with your fingers, and you like to put your hand on mommy's... you are learning so much each day and absorbing all the colors, wonders around you. You are learning so quickly and aren't even 3 mos old yet, it's absolutely amazing. I don't want you to grow up so fast, you are absolutely such a wonderful little girl Sofia. Mommy and Daddy love you.
big hugs and kisses, always and forever to our little Sofia! xxxxxxxxxoooooooo

11 weeks
Amazing how quickly time flies.
Lately sofia continues to put her fingers in her mouth. She's managed to get her index finger alone into her mouth but not yet her thumb (thank goodness). She's pooping less, about 2-3xs a day instead of 6, but still pees just as much. She loves her bathtime and baby massage- actually she is showing more progress too with tummy time- able to raise herself on her arms now for a few minutes before she gets tired. I think she in fact does favor her left hand too- so we'll see. Though I hope she is ambidextrous!
The other day I played piano with and for her as well... I hope she learns to love it. :). Her favorite colors seem to be red and yellow (her strawberry!) And we read the very hungry catepillar almost everyday... A few times a day.
Sofia, you're getting bigger, mommy took a funny picture of you sitting on the sofa. You must be over 15lbs now, though not yet sleeping thru the night. We're getting better though, with waings less than 1 hour typically.
Unfortunatey daddy's back has been out of whack again, since last saturday, so he can't hold you. Its from too much drinking/staying out late in january. Mommy is glad he knows what caused it, and hopes he finds balance. Balance is so important in life.
Aside from that, grandma comes over everyday. Its nice but at the same time is a bit eh. She says funny stuff like you stick to mommy too much but of course you do! I'm mommy. And I feel like she wants you to love her more but when there's a diaper change, "oh your mommy will change you.". Its like everyone only wants a clean happy baby. But mommy loves you and is happy to change you. Its not "sum foo" or anything like that at all. I love playing and holding you, teaching and talking to you. You are a little wonder Sofia, and I know you are going to be mommys best little girl. :)
Mommy and daddy also hired a helper, paperwork given to her yday, so by march I guess she will be here. Though mommy wants her priority to be housework, vs watching you. Because mommy still wants to raise you herself with daddy, since we are, your parents.
We love you little girl. Keep getting stronger and healthier... Smile. Be happy.
Xxxxooooooo mommy and daddy

Happy February!
And so January 2010 has passed. It's already February! the 2nd to be exact, and well, little jackie's birthday! although she isn't really little anymore- in fact, it's her quarter life crisis birthday, the big 25. I still remember my 25th birthday... apex dinner. sunset room. lol. and those were the days. 24 I think was more memorable- still working for acn, and my solo trip to paris. time really flies, i still remember it so clearly really. anyhow, wishing my lil sister and auntie jackie a happy happy birthday!
lately i still haven't been well at managing this blogging thing. Sofia is still a bundle of joy. Lately (within the past week actually), she's learned to suck on her hand more, slowly and closer in getting fingers, a finger or her thumb into her mouth. I guess this is self soothing, as i've read in the books and we shoudln't be worried as it'll subside in a few years max. she's cute though when she does do it. but we do need to make sure she isn't putting her hands anywhere they shouldn't be (i.e. near dirty diapers during changes), and then later on into her mouth. eeew. so the fight against germs really begins. :p In the past two days i've noticed too that she is able to bring her head up strongly, when laying on her tummy (depsite that she hates hates tummy time)- she can lean on her forearms and push herself up! :) I'm hoping she can use her wrists and hands soon too... though her wrists are pretty chubby! :p
she's 10 weeks old now... growing and growing... we're still trying to establish a good sleep pattern, though lately she's also found her way into our bed, making her able to sleep better at night, though less room on the bed for mommy. my neck has been cramping some lately too and my wrist isn't better yet.
& now for my venting.
last Wed, i went to dinner with jane (who was here for work) and dad decided that even after his family mtg which already ended at 130am, he decided to go out. where? to see daryl and karaoke (that same place he went with andy till 5+am the monday before). Well, i called at 5am when i woke up of course, and no answer. i was starting to get worried as i really thought perhaps he got mugged between walking home from his parents here. Finally at early 6ish i got a bbm, saying he's okay and at dad's and not to worry... but i called again and no answer. then 630 he finally called back saying he's coming home. Well, turns out he wasn't at dad's passed out and lied. ... long story short, he finally fessed up and we went into this thing about trust, and going out/ being responsible, just letting me know. etc. I hate to make it feel like he can't go out, but really, not coming home? tha'ts no good. plus his clothes smelled like smoke and well, he said it was only daryl and him. Plus at 645am someone called, and i called back and a girl picked up. it was the name on the card. joey. at the karaoke place. but i think it's a landline b/c yah, no redial afterwards. anyhow. drama? i hope not. he said i need to trust him, but at the same time when he lied and that karaoke place's card is shady... and yah, well even now the card is gone. so i donno what to think. but i have to give him the benefit of the doubt. he was out all day on thursday, didn't go to work.
i think he felt bad so on friday we had a semi "date night" and went to eat at the oyster bar in the sheraton. it's quite nice. we intended to go shopping first, which we did and then walked over. mela and m's mom watched sofia. it was a nice dinner. i was partially drunk too from the bottle of wine he ordered. anyhow we picked up m's dad at intercon and he was drunk. then he was saying oh no, have cancer... m started to cry because he was so upset, but i know it isn't that bad, or could be not too bad, since dad had cancer. it's just a mind thing... change in diet, exercise, etc. anyhow, m's dad told m to take care of me, and of course he's lucky and so am i. anyhow, i hope things are okay, and they turn out okay. i'm sure they will though.
so m now thinks he's grounded. i hate to think he feels like he can't go out. i only ask that he be responsible about it, like 4am isn't early... plus i know the alcohol intake in january was pretty high for him. he went out at least once a week if not more, based on weddings and such. i didn't really say anything... but i think that's why his back when out again on saturday. yep. oh well. it's better now for the most part. he went to the accupuncture dr on sunday and another dr today.
but Sofia, you're doing well. I hope you don't hear mommy and daddy being short with each other. i am doing my best not to argue or say negative stuff in front of you b/c i know that's not good. so yah. hopefully you just know that mommy and daddy love you very very much and we just want you to be happy and healthy. our little sunshine... mommy and daddy love you always. no matter what.
i need to update more. you're growing so fast.
tonight you even were talking in full baby sentences. i have yet to capture it on video though. it's like you know i'm taking a photo or video of you, so you kinda get shy and stop. haha. smart cookie.
i love you little girl.

The past few days... 2 months & first doctor's appointment (shots included)
The past few days have been pretty good. Sofia has still been growing, and it's apparent by our doctor's trip y/day!
Let's start from this past Saturday-- 1/23... Happy two months old Sofia!
To celebrate we actually went to Ronald and Jacinth's wedding. We got to take a photo with the bride and groom and you were quite good. :) But Mila ended up watching you upstairs in the room. You slept most of the time, which was a difference from the week before- Paul and Diana's wedding where you cried the entire night. :) Perhaps you're getting used to Auntie Mila now... which is good since we have one more wedding next monday- Natalie and Lawrence. Anyhow, you got to see, or rather a lot of auntie and uncles got to see you! And they all say you are so cute-- which, of course you are. :) But it was a good night. You were a good good girl Sofia. I'm so proud of you.
Sunday we rested, since daddy went out late the night before (rather early morning).
Monday we went to the doctor. (1/25), actually it was auntie jen-jen's birthday too! :) But the Dr appointment was going to be interesting since it would be the "first", since we missed the 1 month shots... Grandpa Wong came with us since he knows the doctor (it's his doctor too!). Which was a good thing, so the nurses were a bit nicer to us actually. nicer than last time. anyhow, two shots- one in each thigh (enough meat there!) and you only cried for less than a minute! :) what a good tough girl you are. Mommy was so proud. Also you didn't really get a fever which is good, only slight- 100.1, but i didn't give you medicine (b/c it's that gross pink stuff, i didn't even want to open it b/c it probably is nasty). You are definitely healthy- already 14lbs and 4 oz and 24.5" tall! That means you've almost doubled your birth weight in 2 mos and grew about 5"!! Amazing... i still look at the scar from delivery and it's amazing really, how big you've gotten even from then. You will grow so much more too-- it's true "babies really don't stay little forever.". No wonder people have multiple kids! :) But the dr said mommy shouldn't feed you so much, only 6xs a day max. Just so you don't grow so much. Mommy looked in her books and apparently you're about in the 95th percentile for both weight and height... my little over achiever yes? b/c i certainly wouldn't call you fat nor do i want to put you on a diet already! (nor will I!)
But it's good to know you are healthy and strong and growing. :) good girl Sofia.
You've definitely been "coo-ing" a lot more and smiling and laughing too. It's such a joy and such a wonderful thing. I do need to give you more tummy time though... tha'ts the one thing i know i haven't been good about b/c you don't like it. but we'll have to just do it anyways so you start to learn to roll over and also crawl. Your legs are strong though, so that's good. :) though crawling before walking, of course i'm sure is necessary. I think you will talk earlier though, it's so cute to see your expressions when you talk. So animated, so curious, so loving... so happy.
it's wednesday today... a pretty sunny day but the weather has gotten colder again. We went to the office y/day and probably need to go again tmrw to pack since we're moving offices. But I hope with this new job, mommy will have more time to spend with you... and to watch you and be there as you grow and learn everyday.
i love you little sofia! (and so does daddy!)
big hugs and kisses...
love mommy & daddy

Anyhow, you got to see, or rather a lot of auntie and uncles got to see you! And they all say you are so cute-- which, of course you are. :) But it was a good night. You were a good good girl Sofia. I'm so proud of you.
Sunday we rested, since daddy went out late the night before (rather early morning).
Monday we went to the doctor. (1/25), actually it was auntie jen-jen's birthday too! :) But the Dr appointment was going to be interesting since it would be the "first", since we missed the 1 month shots... Grandpa Wong came with us since he knows the doctor (it's his doctor too!). Which was a good thing, so the nurses were a bit nicer to us actually. nicer than last time. anyhow, two shots- one in each thigh (enough meat there!) and you only cried for less than a minute! :) what a good tough girl you are. Mommy was so proud. Also you didn't really get a fever which is good, only slight- 100.1, but i didn't give you medicine (b/c it's that gross pink stuff, i didn't even want to open it b/c it probably is nasty). You are definitely healthy- already 14lbs and 4 oz and 24.5" tall! That means you've almost doubled your birth weight in 2 mos and grew about 5"!! Amazing... i still look at the scar from delivery and it's amazing really, how big you've gotten even from then. You will grow so much more too-- it's true "babies really don't stay little forever.". No wonder people have multiple kids! :) But the dr said mommy shouldn't feed you so much, only 6xs a day max. Just so you don't grow so much. Mommy looked in her books and apparently you're about in the 95th percentile for both weight and height... my little over achiever yes? b/c i certainly wouldn't call you fat nor do i want to put you on a diet already! (nor will I!)
But it's good to know you are healthy and strong and growing. :) good girl Sofia.
You've definitely been "coo-ing" a lot more and smiling and laughing too. It's such a joy and such a wonderful thing. I do need to give you more tummy time though... tha'ts the one thing i know i haven't been good about b/c you don't like it. but we'll have to just do it anyways so you start to learn to roll over and also crawl. Your legs are strong though, so that's good. :) though crawling before walking, of course i'm sure is necessary. I think you will talk earlier though, it's so cute to see your expressions when you talk. So animated, so curious, so loving... so happy.
it's wednesday today... a pretty sunny day but the weather has gotten colder again. We went to the office y/day and probably need to go again tmrw to pack since we're moving offices. But I hope with this new job, mommy will have more time to spend with you... and to watch you and be there as you grow and learn everyday.
i love you little sofia! (and so does daddy!)
big hugs and kisses...
love mommy & daddy
