CLM is Four...Months!

Already!  Four months...seem like forever already, haha~!  At today's appointment, CLM measured in at 16lbs 3oz, 75th percentile.  Pediatrician said his growth was probably spread out to growing taller and a bigger head so his weight went from 90th percentile to 75th.  Now, CLM is more proportional with his head size and height at 75th percentile as well.  I miss his chubby cheeks though!

Mr. Chubby Cheeks on April 4th - I wanna bite em!!

A totally CLM dominated week!  Happy 4 months bebe!

That Lindt truffle is the Wildberry Yogurt Eisdessert...so yum!

Back to "Normal"

Phew!  Good thing that "growth spurt" or whatever it was, was short-lived.  真係命都少幾年呀!  Last week was pretty uneventful, except starting to play Draw Something (how's that for a life event, lol).  Oh, and celebrated my first mother's day making 盆菜.  Wah, so much food that we had leftovers for five subsequent meals -_-"

文生's friend gave us some Teddy's Choice (PC brand) diapers and I finally decided to give them a chance.  Let's just say I now know why Pampers and Huggies costs so much, they're much softer and stretchier.  Good thing the package isn't very big.  Enough said.  LOL~

Of course, not being at work means I lose track of time really easily.  Sometimes I wake up not knowing what day of the week it is.  Sucks, I know.  But one thing I know for sure is time travels really quickly even when you don't remember what day it is... Curtasee will be four months this coming Monday and I still haven't gotten my postpartum pap done yet.  So much for getting it done at six weeks pp.

Hmm..just realized my thoughts are all over the place today.  That means it's time to go sleep.  Also means that yes, last week was so uneventful I couldn't remember key points to document.  That, or I'm gettin' old...

A little late, but still caught up!

Growth Spurt?

This week's been another upside-down-and-around roller coaster kind of psycho-why-me week (if that even made sense).  All started with CLM's 100th day banquet (which was a blast, but extremely exhausting for the poor dude and me too), then 太上文生's farewell slash 太上文太's birthday dinner at 大和 which resulted in what I think was food poisoning.  I was pretty much attached by the bum to my toilet that night.  Then hell broke loose on Thursday, when CLM started fussing for no apparent reason.  It was first struggling to feed in the car, as if he unlearned all previous experiences.  I blame it on the weather being a little too warm.  Fine.  But then that night...he...did...not...sleep...AT...ALL.  Oh...my...God... I was on the verge of strangling something and then CLM gave me the biggest smile.  At 4am.  Sigh, 嬲佢唔落.  Yesterday was no better with me running on all of 1.5 hours of sleep.  Mom's friend from Macau was leaving this morning so we took her downtown to Canyon Creek for lunch, where CLM screamed at the top of his lungs the entire time.  Needless to say, I didn't really get to eat.  Good thing we got there after 2pm and the restaurant was almost deserted.  Last night CLM woke up every 2.5 hours on the dot and once daylight broke, he demanded to be fed every hour.  I almost died.  Until I went and got my Starbucks Venti unsweetened nine matcha soy green tea frappuccino.  Hee.  Then I felt better, kinda.

So, growth spurt?  I sure hope so.

My accomplishment (and road to sanity) - keeping up with P365

During one of the bajillion feeds today, I was rereading 可可's posts on little Evan's growth diary and realized I haven't really documented much for CLM.  Noticed that babies go through pretty much the same milestones.  At least CLM and Evan did:

At 2 months:
Stares at fists - check
Shorter feed times - check
Starts to smile - check
Loves to go out but sleeps the entire time - check

At 3 months:
Discovered his hands - check
Sucks on his fists - check
Laughs out loud - check
Nosy - check
Coos and e e er ers - check
Rolls over - wait, he hasn't done that yet

still much to learn my dear Curtasee...

Happy 29 Years and 48 Months Birthday Hun Hun!

Today is 文生's 29 years and 48 month birthday!  Happy cow one!  To celebrate, we had lobster, crayfish, shrimp, Pacific and Atlantic uni and a bottle of Relax Riesling!  YUM!  and cholesterol overload LOL~!

To make things even better, Starbucks is having their Frappuccino Happy Hour so I can sample a whole whackload of their fraps at half off for an entire week.  Yes, we'll worry about the calories later.  Today was a venti green tea frap with 9 scoops matcha, oh yeah!  Then, 文生 got me a Swarovski necklace, hee hee!!  To top it off, I'm caught up with week 18 of P365!  WIN!

Cupcakes

I was nosing around the interwebs and came across some cupcake piping videos and of course I was very eager to try it out!  Since I just happened to have a $3 off $10 coupon for Bulk Barn, I decided to grab a few Wilton tips and made some cupcakes to decorate!  Perfect timing too since I had to get rid of a few browning bananas so I made chocolate banana cupcakes and whipped up a batch of vanilla buttercream.  Not bad a job even if I say so myself...

My first chrysanthemum piping job!

 Carrots too!

Next up, roses...
