Pictures Taken in September

One of his specialties is to have 1 eye open and 1 eye close. About the week of Sept 10 or Sept 17, Ethan started to put his hands in his mouth and rubbing his eyes when he's sleepy.

Ethan's First Studio Pictures

We bought this outfit at Babies R US. These pictures were taken at Kiddie Kandids.

Size 2 Diaper

Ethan started to wear size 2 diaper on Sept. 11. Ethan smiles more now. He'll smile and make cute sounds when you talk to him (as if he's talking back to you).

Chubby Hands and Feet

One month makes a big difference as you can see from the pictures! Mommy fed me well!

Birthmarks

Ethan has strawberry birthmarks on his left ear and a tiny one on his back. They didn't appeared til he was few days old.

One Month Old

Great Grandpa came to visit, but he didn't know Ethan turned 1 month old today hehe.

see, I got hong bao from Great Grandpa, Grandpa, and Grandma.

Tiny Feet and Hands

12 days old

Different Ways of Burping

See how tiny Ethan was...it seems like daddy was strangling him

this way is relaxing

Umbilical Cord Fell Off

It finally came off today.

Jaundice

On Sunday July 15, we took him to see urgent care cuz we noticed on Saturday that he's kinda yellow...jaundice. They withdrawn blood from his heels...poor baby. His bilirubum level was 18.

Then, we went to doctor's again on Monday July 16 as schedule when we left the hospital. They withdrawn blood from his tiny arm...poor baby. His bilirubum level went down to 16.1 I think.

Then doctor wanted to see him again on Tuesday July 17 cuz he hadn't gained weight. He told us to give him 1 oz of formula so he can get calories, gain weight. On Tuesday, a nurse from "Welcome Home Baby" came to visit and he weigh 6 lbs and 8 oz...gained 4 oz!!! that's with diaper on. When we went to the doctor, he weighed 6 lbs 7 oz...so he gained 3 oz (without diaper). Doctor wants us to go back on Monday July 23rd to see if he gains all his birth weight back. I hope he does or else doctor will keep telling us to go back or do blood test on him

Not Gaining Weight

Ethan loves to sleep...like a pig. It takes me a long time to wake him up. He rather sleeps, but I have to wake him up to feed or else he won't gain weight. First, he didn't pee or poo for over 12 hrs so we were concerned. When nurse checked him, his diaper was dry, but when doctor came, sure enough, he pee and poo (on Thursday, his weight was 6 lbs and 4 oz). His birth weight was 6 lbs 12 oz.

Welcome Home Ethan!

We only stayed at the hospital for 1 night. We came home around 9 PM. Ethan's going home outfit was way too big for him although it said it's for newborn.

Small and cute foot!
