New Hair Cut

I brought Xiao Xiao Pang for a hair cut on Monday at Little Cut. She did great and was coorperative enough with the barber. She just like to twist and turn her head every now and then to look at me. She must be wondering why there was a scissor rummaging through her hair. The hair cut cost $10 and is more expensive than the $2.99 hair cut Eric goes to.

I am blessed that Meredith is easy to care for and I treasure every minutes that I spent with her. She loves to laugh and giggle when you hold her up. She starts to demand how she wants to be held now that she is five months old. She make noises when she wants attention. She is such a cute baby when she wakes up in the morning. She will smile at you and opens her arms up waiting for you to hold her up. The feeling of holding her up in my arms makes me wants to hold her more. Many parents have told me not to pamper babies by holding them too much. For me, I just ignored that advise. I have to admit I love holding Meredith. The feeling is simply priceless.

Meredith's passport photo

Meredith applied for her Malaysian passport and birth cert. Part of the requirements on Malaysia Borang D application is to put her thumb prints on the form. I called the Malaysia Embassy in DC and asked if we need thumb prints for baby. Sure enough, the embassy personnel said, memanglah! put thumbprints. So we tried to finger print her. We used ink from the computer ink jet printer cartridge. She would not hold her hand still and her finger print is so small. She ended smearing the application form by moving her inked finger all over the form. I still could not understand why they wanted baby thumbprints. Anyway, it was a funny incident. The photo attached is her passport mug shot.

First Day Care Experience

We went to Lakewood Church a few weeks ago. This is the largest church in US with weekly attendance of 20,000. The whole Sunday experience felt like a big commercial concert production, with the pastor and worship team looking like celebrities (which is not entirely positive). We did enjoy the experience. The day care system is very efficient. Meredith was being assigned a bar code and sticker very quickly on her arrival. Then, the day care staff in Lakewood church promptly whisked her away into the infant room. Of course, we were a bit worried because this was the first time she been away from us. We claimed her back after the service, and she was sleeping soundly in the day care room. So, Meredith has grown up and ready to step out on her own.

Xiao Xiao Pang is two months old

Xiao Xiao Pang is already two months old. Sometimes she can mumble to herself. We can't discern what she said but it sounded like she speaking an entire sentence. We took her to Memorial City Mall to have her Easter picture taken with the bunny. We wasn't aware but the mall was closed on Easter Sunday. She was in her first dress that Boon Hong bought. Anyway, we took her Easter picture at home with her bunny friends. She hardly any bigger than her bunny friends.
