Sponge Bath for Little Melissa

Argh.. I don't like bath!

Baby Melissa

Melissa Sophie Wu

DOB: 9/9/2008
Height: 21 inches
Weight: 7lb 2.4oz

She loves to flail her arms and kick her legs! Currently, her skin is flaky and peeling, but hopefully soon that go away.. Here's a video of her flailing her arms about! She can semi-turn herself already too! Wonder what she'll be doing next.. maybe it's Dada :D

baby ultra sound photos

These are our official photos from the ultra sound appointment :)
Some of the pictures are pretty obvious, others require some interpretation. According to Sandy, she can only make out 1 picture (#3). So, it's time to use your imagination, or medicial experience and time to play what picture is this! Answer at the bottom so don't scroll down too far..

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

Actually we don't have all the answers for all of them..
So feel free to comment on what they might be based on your interpretations :)
Here are my answers:
#1: Not sure on this one, but I think it's either the heart or leg :P
#2: Baby face closeup :)
#3: Baby sideways view
#4: Baby gender view.. The 2 brighter lines are the leg bones..
#5: Baby head from top.. with 1 arm raised.. (this one is just my guess)
#6: Another baby facial view, with body also..

Weekend Gathering

This past weekend, we gathered at Vivian's place with bunch of old friends, many of whom are recent parents :) There were 5 kids in total, Anja (4), Kyle (2), Colin (11 months), Valerie (7 months) and Maya (2 months)..

Had a good time catching up with friends and found the kids to be very adorable. In particular, we found Colin to be so very cute and not shy of strangers at all. He was always smiling and wanting to play or be hugged (but doesn't make a fuss if not hugged either :)). He's the second baby from the left and is really big for his age (he's topping out at 100 percentile) and can walk on his own really well already.

Superbowl Sunday!

Well, today is the day of the much anticipated Superbowl.. Sandy and I are going to George's place later to watch the game. George's place is only about 1/2 mile away from our house, so it's actually within walking distance (if my knee wasn't banged up). This is a picture of George and Elaine at our wedding, and by the way, George recently got engaged with Elaine and will be getting married later this year!

Congratulations George and Elaine!

We should be seeing Max's baby, Linus, for the first time today also as he plans to drop by with Rosa and Linus to watch the game at George's place also (George is Rosa's brother). In fact, Sandy says Linus' appearance is the only reason she is going to the Superbowl party so they better show up :) Hopefully I'll remember to bring my camera and get take some pictures of baby Linus. It should be an interesting game to see whether the Patriots can go 19-0 and have the perfect season.. I'm kind of rooting for the underdog Giants but I'm also interest in seeing history being made.
