sweet new potatoes

You see we are out in the garden on the deck with the nice hanging baskets. My Daddy is lookin' pretty good eh? Here are a few more photos with my Daddy. I have grown quite a bit since they brought me home.

Well, I am almost 10 weeks old and sleep is still the hotest topic around the house. I love to be held to fall alseep and I dont tolerate being put down unless I am deep into sleep. I really try staying awake sometimes. Yesterday, I didnt sleep more than 20 minutes at a time the whole day. Mommy and daddy were a bit worried. Mommy thinks that I was trying to practice "BEING ON CALL". So by midnight I was just pooped. I was super fussy. I feel bad but I just couldnt help it. I couldnt fall asleep yesterday. Today, I am "POST-CALL" and slept 6.5 hours straight last night and I have been asleep most of the day today (8am-1pm) so far. Here in this picture you can see that I enjoy falling asleep on Mommys shoulder. They say I look like a "SACK OF RICE". Dont I look SOOOOO SWEEET!

Daddy took a picture of me with my wormy apple. That reminds me...I have never told you why my name is wwmy. Well...mommy and daddy gave the nick name wriggly worm 'cause never stop moving and thus the WW in my initals.

Here I am at 2 weeks old, getting ready to go to my shower. I am in the picture with Grandma . Do we look alike? Grandma Shirley helped to dress me up and picked out this beautiful outfit for me from Hong Kong. Dont I look pretty? This is a card that I sent to mommy and daddy with the help of Grandma Shirley. I hope that they like it. I am already 8 weeks old and much bigger than I am in the previous photo.

There is much to know about my sleeping habits. One thing is that I tend to hold my position really well. And I like to sleep with my arms above me. In this picutre I look a lot like Daddy. You will notice in the other picture that I can even hang by my hands when I am sleeping. I know....it is pretty impressive!

Hi! My name is Madelyne. This is my first post on this blog. Excuse me if sometimes my grammar and spelling is not too good 'cause I am just learning...Mommy and Daddy are helping me out with this. I consider myself pretty advanced as I am turning 9 weeks tomorrow.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I was born March 24,2006 at 12:27 am. I came into the world by vacuum but luckily I didnt get too much of a cone head. Boy was I suprised to see so much light when I popped out. Daddy cut my cord and played with me for 1.5 hours before I could no longer keep my eyes open and fell asleep for the next 24 hours. It was soooooo coooool to be finally out of the darkness. I was 7lb at birth and lucky to be born with lots of hair. Also, luckily for me and Mommy I don't have a big head. Heee! Heee! However I do have a small mouth and for the first two weeks Mommy and I struggled a lot with learning to nurse. I know I am a bit of a troublemaker and I deprived mommy and daddy of a lot of sleep those first few weeks. Luckily Grandma and Grandpa were here to help. It was so much fun to have everyone around. You see, I love being held ALL the time. Except ofcourse when I am in deep sleep I can't do too much to complain and that's the only time I will let them put me down. During the second week of my life, grandma Shirley came to visit. Boy, I loved having so many people carry me and play with me. And I love them all. I am a lucky girl. I wish they could stay with us all the time. My Godmother, Shahin, also threw me a baby shower in my second week and I was so lucky to have so many gifts from all my aunties and uncles. I want to thank them all personally but I am having some trouble expressing myself to them. I am not sure that they will understand my babbling. Thank-you so much to my godmother Shahin and uncle Farhan for throwing me such a great party! At 5 weeks, Auntie Anita came to help Mommy and Daddy look after me. It is fun with Auntie Anita as she likes to play with me and take me outside to the garden. Now I am 9 weeks I have grown a lot and I weigh more than 10 lbs already. I no longer have too many problems with eating but I still keep Mommy and Daddy up many times a night. I like to smile and babble. I guess they call it babbling because they dont understand my advanced language skills. I REALLY AM VERY CUTE. I think Mommy and Daddy should take more pictures of me and put it on this blog so that I can really show-off. All my grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins and all other friends and family can visit this site at all times. Besides this is my first step towards stardom...

Yesterday I had my first immunizations. Mommy and Auntie Anita said that I was very brave. I only cried for a few minutes. Really it was no big deal! Mommy could hardly stand to watch the needles go into my thigh, yet she's given plenty of needles to her patients!

Anyways ciao for now...I have a milk shake waiting from dairy queen! Ok, ok, Mommy I know its not nice to call you dairy queen but you have to admit the truth. I like it that Mommy is "open" 24/7 for whenever I have a craving for a snack!
