Living room project (click on "read more" to see all pictures)

We worked hard this weekend and finished the project. Baby Bear amazingly slept through the entire project! Look how different the living room looks before and after. Now Baby Bear has a lot more room to move around!

Laugh with baby!

Just like in the womb

Can you spot baby shark?

There has been a baby shark keeping coming onto the surface. I would scream and ask Jonathan to protect me. I have to tell you though, it is very exciting and fun! 

One time I was reading in bed, the baby shark was quiet so I turned my head and I found the baby shark staring at me! I laughed and he laughed too! 

Loving the spotlight

We were looking at watches at a department store and the little guy performed his talent: fist eating.

He surely caught some attention.

Skyping with Grandpa!

Rice baby

Baby bear ate the whole cube of rice meal today! Yay!

What did you dream about?

We laughed away the entire afternoon...

No teeth yet but...

Weekend

Do you mind, Mousy? You are kinda heavy...

Happy Chinese Valentine's Day!

I've got two sweetest boys and prettiest chocolate!

Who is that baby looking at me?

Five months!

Baby Nathan is five months today! He never stops surprising us. 

Updates about Nathan: 

 1) Can roll over sometimes with both hands out, sometimes with only one hand out. 

 2) Sometimes takes a long time to feed him maybe because he is getting sick of milk.

 3) Trying rice meal for the second time (first time when he was four months but we thought he wasn't ready)

 3) He screams like a bird for fun

 4) Trying size M diaper today

 5) Likes to sit (us holding him) 

 6) Lots and lots of energy!

Updates about me: 

 1) Somehow lost the 40 pounds I gained for Nathan!! So surprised when I found out this month that the 40 pounds was gone. I eat lots of veggies and brown rice (often brown rice mixed with white rice). I also take stairs because there is no elevator in the building at work that half of my classes are at.  

 2) Sleep better 

 3) Just very happy

Nathan loves to sleep on his stomach, which he used to hate. 

Now we are on the second baby diary, the book the nanny uses to keep track of Nathan's schedule everyday. 

I make rice meals and freeze them. 

With the frozen rice meal cubes, we can heat it up when we feed Nathan. We are too busy to make fresh rice meal every day. They sell very convenient rice meal, corn meal, and cereal meal powder which only calls for hot water to make but we prefer doing it ourselves.

Nathan getting stronger

Saturday

 

Jonathan's former co-worker visiting Taiwan from Beijing

Crispy on the outside, tender in the inside! Delicious!

Colored my hair purple in the inner layer.

Happy Friday!

Weekend

Last weekend we went to a French-Singaporean restaurant. Went there only to find the Singaporean dish I wanted had to be order three days in advance. How are costumers supposed to know that? :(

Duck liver...a bit too oily.

 

By the way, I love this shirt that Aunt Susan gave me two years ago, love it so much more than the duck liver.  It just fits me well and it's so cute!

Went to Sushi Express on Sunday.

My favorite
