Baby Carrier

Daddy installed baby carrier in the car.  Mommy will get to sit in the front again hehe.

Good Memory

Eric said kids have short term memory.  But Ethan has very good memory.  My mom went to Taiwan for 3 months and he still remembers her, remembers where she puts her toy train, remembers the water fountain, and etc.  When we went back to this buffet place we hadn't gone for 2 months, he still remembered the fish (they have a big fish tank with fish in it).  When he passes by Barnes & Noble at Grossmont, he'll say "choo choo" cuz he remembers Thomas train set in there.  

Baby #2

He loves to move all the time.  He always stick out his butt, especially to the right.  He's so energetic.  It seems like he never sleeps.  He hiccups a lot too like his older brother Ethan.  I can't wait to meet him.  It's so hard to sleep or sit with this huge tummy.  I wonder if he'll come out on Ethan's birthday.  That'll be cool!  

Hair Cut

Ethan and Daddy both got hair cut on Saturday, June 27.  He cried again.  

Doctor's Appointment

I told doctor that I'm afraid baby will come out while she's on vacation from July 1st - July 5th.  Doctor said baby's head is not in the birth canal yet and she told me not to worry.  I'm still worry that baby will come out while my doctor is on vacation.  I don't want any doctors to deliver my baby, especially a guy doctor.  My weight is already surpassed when I was pregnant with Ethan @_@  oh brother!  

New Words

Tonight, we heard Ethan said "frog" the first time.  He also knows "coin" for sometime now.  When he sees bigger car, he'll call it "truck" or "choo choo".  He also looks for cars, trucks, train / trolley, or balloons while in the car.  He knows "book", "cake", and "ki" = cookie.

Behavior

Daddy said it seems like Ethan is growing up.  He behaves better and listens more.  It's easier to tell him to sleep than before.  But daddy still has to threat him when he doesn't listen.  Ethan is afraid of being lock in in the bathroom.  

Car Seat

Daddy changed Ethan's car seat from right to left on June 12.  Ethan got to sit on the left side for the first time on the way to Baby Time Expo on June 13.  It started at 10 and we arrived at 9:15.  I wanted to get the free gifts that worth $250 but there were tons of people in line already.  They were only giving out to the first 50 expecting women.  So, we just passed by and left.  

Dentist

We took Ethan to dentist after my check up.  This was Ethan's first visit.  Of course he cried like other kids.  Dentist said we can start using fluoride toothpaste.  He said we can use cloth to wipe his teeth if it's hard to brush with toothbrush.  He said we can also try electric toothbrush.  He also said Ethan's 4 front teeth are tight so we should use floss.  

Milk Bottle

Ethan finally stopped using bottle.  He usually drinks milk at least 20 oz a day but since he stopped drinking milk from bottle, he only drinks about 8 oz or so from cup.

Doctor Visit

We took Ethan to see doctor on Thursday, June 4.  Doctor said continue to give him Tylenol or Motrin and wait for 1 hour before trying to offer him food.  She said it's ok if he doesn't eat but he has to drink.  She said try to give him Pedialyte, Pedialyte popsicle,  or Gatorade.

At night, he did eat a little bit of porridge with scrambled egg.  

Today, I tried to give him porridge with soy sauce and then with sugar in the morning but he wouldn't want to eat it.  He drank apple juice.  After awhile I gave him pudding.  He ate 1/2 of it.  Then, he took about 2 hours nap.  After he woke up, he finished his pudding.  I cooked up rice noodle and he ate some.  He drank some passion fruit green tea.

At night, he only ate a little bit of rice noodle.  He didn't want to drink milk through the bottle so daddy poured the milk into a cup with a straw.  He drank about 8 oz.  We are thinking since he hasn't been drinking milk through the bottle, may be we can wean him off of it (like pacifier, breast feeding...he weaned if off himself hehe).

No Appetite

Ethan woke up sweating on Tuesday morning.  His fever went away.  Then toward the evening, his temperature was about 101 - 102.  He vomited around 12 am...poor baby.

Ethan doesn't have appetite today.  This morning he only ate 2 spoons of porridge.  We tried to give him his favorite foods/snacks.  We offered him Oreo cookie, fries, watermelon, yogurt drink, pudding, and dried seaweed.  He only ate 1/2 of pudding.  He usually can eat 1 1/2 of pudding and 1 1/2 bottles of yogurt drink.

Fever

This morning Ethan's forehead felt hot.  He's having fever.  At first, his temperature was 101 and then went up to 103.9.  We alternate between Motrin & Tylenol.  His temperature is about 101 - 102 now.  

New Words

Ethan could say "jiu jiu" = uncle not too long ago.  Last Friday he was watching Thomas and he said "Ta choo choo" = Thomas.  Grandma came back from Taiwan and gave him a piggy bank and he could say "pig".  He could say "rice", "fri" = fries.
