Studying dada's ear
--
Little kitten's curiosity has extended to everything around her.

Going outside
--
We had a pretty sunny day yesterday so Kitten and I went out for a long walk.

Getting up
--
Kitten's arms are getting stronger and stronger now. When will we be ready for crawling?
Jenyi, 10/31/2001 08:58:00 PM
Ball
--
Kitten likes to pick up ball and send it to her mouth. A pretty good game/exercise for practicing her own finger.

Sandwiching new food
--
An excellent trick suggested by Sarah in Mother circle. It's simple. You just mask the new food with the cereal that your baby's been having. In so far, Kitten has been eating apple and pumpkin. Woo, I am happy.

Day 4Tuesday, October 30, 2001
--
Kitten's crying. I do not want to go into the room to nurse her or bring her to the living room to play. At first, she cried from 12:05 to 12:30. When her crying stopped, we thought that she's fallen asleep and wanted to put quilt on her but found out she's only lying there and still awake. Then the crying starts again, this time, from 12:35 to 45 and now the sound stopped again. I think I will hung out here for half an hour and then went checking. I am cruel.
01:05 Kitten is asleep (on her tummy). Dada checked.
To celebrate, here's one of kitten's recent happy photo.

Soother doesn't work. Kitten woke up for nursing and stayed awake till 3. I have to keep trying new methods so that we can all be happy

Kitten got tired. Dada brought her into her crib and chanted "baby sleep" in monotone. She fell asleep in very few minutes in front of dada.
We both know that kitten will get up about half an hour later and she has been having difficulties back to sleep for a week. Tonight, I am not going to nurse her. Instead, we will try soother.

Dada and I surrendered. We picked her up at 11:20 and she was up till 2:20. As all signs of sleepy kitten came up, Kitten dada put her back to her crib. Her crying last less than 10 minutes. Now we can all go to bed.
Jenyi, 10/29/2001 02:33:00 AM
Day 2
--
She falls asleep at 10 p.m.. Before that, she cried in her crib for 15 minutes only. Maybe she has had a tiring day, I think. However, she wokes up again 40 minutes later. I went in her room, nursed her and comforted her a bit and then put her back into the crib. Unfortunately, she's crying madly now.

New trialSaturday, October 27, 2001
--
Kitten fell asleep at 10:30. p.m. but woke up again an wouldn't go back at 11:20. She has been doing this for days. Simply woke up for burping and had difficulty going back to sleep. To tackle this problem, there's one major I need to do. Help Kitten fall asleep by herself instead of using feeding/sucking. This has been a all time problem long before I restart blogging and I think it's time for me to do so or three of us will be tired.
At 1:10, we put Kitten into her crib and she cried like crazy for 40 minutes. Now we can no longer hear any sound and I hope she's sound asleep. We are going to do this for a week, and I hope we can do it.
2:10. Kitten sleeps on her side, well, almost on her tummy actually.
Mama & Dada's bed time now.

Play ball

These balls borrowed from the toy library are great toys for Kitten. She loves them.

Amazing, eh? Besides, she had an hour nap from 8:50 to 9:50 in Aqua, the seafood restaurant. Stella suggested that Kitten must feel better having more people around. That makes sense.

Doesn't look like a good sleeping time, right? I hate to worry about this.

10:00 p.m.
--
Today's sleeping time. We tried letting her rest about 10 minute at 6 p.m. so that she has fewer chance to be too alart at night. Now I hope this work.
Did I mentioned that she also stayed up till 2 last night? We were late for the books for baby this morning.
Oh, One thing worth noting today is that dada babysat Kitten for 2 hours and let me have a really comfortable nap (he's veryy proud of it).
AH....here she awakes again.
Jenyi, 10/25/2001 11:29:00 PM

I have adjusted her seat and now she's happy.

Sleepy kittenWednesday, October 24, 2001
--
Yesterday was like a disaster, and today was slightly better. Kitten still went to bed around 2 a.m.. Dada and I worked together to help her fall asleep.
Jenyi, 10/25/2001 02:21:00 AM
Well...Tuesday, October 23, 2001
--
The 8:10 bed time was a bad idea. She got up at 10:00 and could not go back to sleep. Now we must let her cry out some of her enegy in the crib.
Jenyi, 10/24/2001 01:31:00 AM
Night waker
--
Recently, what time will kitten fall asleep is less an issue to us. Rather, the frequent awake in the mid of the night is what I concern the most. Sometimes, she wake up more than 5 times in 10~12 hours. When that happens at the time when I fall deep asleep, it really affects my quality of sleeping make me look tired in the day time. Since Kitten is over 6 month, she is probably able to sleep through the night (Well, I don't ask much, but not 5 awakenings). Yesterday, Mary suggested me to try baby wise again and let her sleep in her own crib instead of being with me. "You don't want both of you become tired." She said. Since I do want to do something about this problem, I will try putting Kitten back to her own bed first.
Jenyi, 10/23/2001 09:43:00 PM

Kitten went to bed extremely early today, and just woke up for nursing an hour later then back to sleep. Can we make it through the night? When will we get up tomorrow? Let's wait and see.

After today's Mother Circle session, I took Kitten for a walk and visit dada in the lab. We had great weather today.

Car seat
--We finally put our new carseat into our car. Before that, we rehursed in the living room and kitten looked fine with it. However, she cried half way to Cosco later when we go out. Maybe we should go out more oftenso that she will have chances to get used to her new seat.

Fun afternoon

We played, rolled and laughted about. Kitten was pretty excited and made a lot of [gigi] sounds.

She slept at 1:40 a.m.. Yes, a little bit late. So I will post briefly.

In the car

This is the most recent picture of Kitten. It was taken this afternoon when we're on our way to Kitten dada's tutoring place. She's all in yellow today and the new hat she got made her look really cute.

She likes dada's junk papers, way more than I do.

"A mirror is not enough. We must have some colorful things for kittens to look at." This is kitten dada's theory which was sponsored by Joyce. Thanks again, Joyce.

Kitten in the bath tub
--
Yes, she has advanced to the bath tub with a ring for about 3 weeks. We usually play toy boats and plastic duckings there, too. Oh, the reason why she cried in the second picture was that she bumped her head on the side of the bath tub.

Kitten sleeps early again tonight. So I am going to post some pix. :-)

Her last nap was at 7:30. So she sent to bed late today. But 11:00 is not too bad, I like that.

Late againThursday, October 18, 2001
--
She did fall asleep at 9:40 but woke up again later and couldn't fall back asleep. So she played in the jumper, we rolled on the bed, listened to the music, read books borrowed from the library and hanged about in the living room. Finally, at 01:50. Kitten daddy rocked her to sleep. Gee, I am tired, too.
Today's baby story time was as good as last week. Kitten liked the ring with bells on it a lot. Moms in the group also gave me tips about introducing the solids. In addition, I borrowed new books and CDs. Lots of things done in one trip, really neat.
We've bought a new car seat for Kitten. It's a 3 in 1 type and now 142 dollars in Walmart. We'll have it installed tomorrow.

Just a contrast clip showing how kitten loves cereal.
Since kitten doesn't like baby fruit jar. I decided to make baby fruit paste by myself. This afternoon, I used hand blender and made some apple paste. Kitten accepted it but obvious was not of big fan of it. However, since home made fruit paste is acceptable, I will keep making.

Kitten live returns! This episode documents how kitten rejected her mix fruit from a baby food jar.

Again, yay!

She fell asleep again at 9:40. Till now, she has woked twice and each took approximately 5 to 10 minute to bring her back to sleep.
However, I quality of sleep last night was kind of poor because of her numerous awakening. I guess this might because of the green and red pepper that I had at dinner. A mom told me that they are gas generateing veggie. I remember kitten did wake up cos of gas.
This evening, I had brocolli instead. Although I also heard that this is also a gas generator for baby. I still pray for a more peaceful sleep tonight.
I have not work out how to present video clip in compact mpeg (like, 1 mb for a minute) yet. So I may still use wmv again.

Kitten sleeps early today! At 9:40. Just hard to believe, eh? Thanks to kitten daddy.
Suddently, I just have 3 hours of my time. So I had a realy nice shower, learned to make mpeg format for kitten video clip, and comforted kitten when she awakes (well, 4 times till now). Yeah, new clip in mpeg format will be posted soon.
From now on, I think we will try to maintain this sleeping time. It's just so nice to have my own time without staying up late again. Now I am going to bed.

We are going to the State!

Kitten daddy bought tickets for the whole family to fly to San Antonio where he is attending a conference in late November. This is our annual family trip and we were very excited. But now, with anthrax and treats flying about, frankly I also feel scared, too.

Baby story time
--
Since kitten was able to get up at 10 this morning, I took her to the story time session in downtown library. This session is a combination of songs, rhymes and stories. A bonus of this session is that you get to borrow books and music CDs for kitten by the way.

A day in OttawaWednesday, October 10, 2001
--
Yesterday, Kitten dada needed to present a poster in CITO so we all joined him to Ottawa. Kitten and I spent the afternoon in Sean's big house playing with other kids, Sean's daughter, neighber's son and daughter. Caroline joined us, too. Later, we visited the conference center to see kitten dada's poster. After the session, kitten dada and I had lux dinner in the conference center and we drove home afterward. Since kitten had over 1 hour sleep on the car, she maintained alert till 3 a.m..

This picture was taken in Ottawa in Pin-I's place where we found kitten could spend more time on her own playing things. Even the fixed toys on her swing. My own theory is that the new environment and people arround her kept her busy and calm. During those days when kitten grandpa and grandma were around, she never stayed up past 12.
Kitten has waked up 3 times since she went to bed at 11:00 because of caughing. Poor thing.

H=70cm (She's tall, about 90%)
W=17pounds and 10 onces (droped from last weighting ((18)), also drop from the chart, 80%)
After all, Ross the doc said she's a healthy baby, and no worry about the cold.
But I still postpond the Hap B shot to next Tuesday.

Kitten is able to sit by herself without support for a while.
She's still having a cold and the running nose seems to bother her a lot. I am not sure if she should have her Hap B shot today.

Bye bye grandpa & grandmaThursday, October 04, 2001

Good time always goes fast. Kitten's grandparents left around 8 tonight for syracus.
Today's the second day of kitten's cold. No stuffy nose this time, but running nose and coughs. I feel a bit guilty for having her catching the second cold so soon.

Growing KittenTuesday, October 02, 2001
--
Each day, kitten shows signs of development - physical and mental. After these few days in Ottawa, we notice that she can sit up longer; Her interest toward her surrounding seems to be increasted. She also spends longer time concentrating on playing/examing her toys. With so many people around her, she was able to be kept busy so that her regular sleeping time is back. Thanks to Pa and Ma.

Family Day in Ottawa

We came to Ottawa yesterday and joined Pin-I's family, had dim-sum, drove around the park, and did grocery shopping. Under care of grandpa and grandma, little kitten fell asleep at 10:40. What a lovely day. :-D
