Teething, no problem

It is almost the time my first tooth coming out.
 

First time out of town

Since I was born, I never leave Hong Kong.  Unlike my sister Samantha who have been travel a lot since 3 months old, I stay in Hong Kong Island most of the time and not even go to Kowloon often.  Today is the first time I leave Hong Kong Territory.  We had a short trip in Macau.

Roseola-infantum

See Dr. Chow again this morning.  Confirmed I have Roseola-infantum.  It means no need to do anything about it.  :-).  My sister Samantha had the same experience last October when she was 1.5 years old.

Recovering

Still have fever over night.  Mom help me took a both to cooling down at 2am.  I am more genki today.

Visited Dr. Chow

Dr. Chow suggested to stay in hospital for observation.  Mom and Dad want me to stay at home though.  They will decided if temperature keeps on rising.

Still sick

Caritas Bazaar

This is the first time I have been to Caritas Bazaar. This week is in the Kowloon side. Dad will take me to the Hong Kong Island side one next week. After the event, we went back to Grand Ma's home near by to have family dinner.

Saturday Evening

I went to My Gym with Samantha and watched her playing their. Then we went to a resturant in the same building and Mom ate a creature called crab there. After dinner, Mom and Dad take us to LKF and we saw a lot of people in funny costumes. It is the Halloween night, they said.

Making sounds

Today I made out sounds of Ma Ma and Ba Ba.  Mom intentionally interpreted as I was calling my parent.

I can flip

Finally, I can flip over my body.  This technique add me a new dimension of locomotion.  The next skills I am acquiring is moving slidding backward.

Catching up

I start to playing my toe.  Pretty soon, I would be able to do the toe tasting like my elder sister.

Fever

It seems that Dad passed my his flu.  I got fever and running nose.

Vaccination

Took the Vaccine today.  I cried a bit during the shot.  I did the 2nd-month vaccination 2 months ago.  This is the 4th-month vaccination and the next time I need to be back to take the shot again is 2 months later when I am 6 months old.

Start to have fever at night.

My body weight is 6.1 kg which indicate I catch up a bit in terms of growth.

4 months old

Today I am 4 months old.  It is also a tyhoon day with signal number 8 was hoisted at 9:45pm.

Half Turn

Some babies at my age can flip their body on bed by themselves.  I cannot do that yet.  The closest point I reached today is when Dad put me on the ground with face facing down, I accidentally turned myself to have my face facing up.  This experiment cannot be repeated yet though.

Jacinta’s Wedding

Today is Jacinta’s Wedding day.  The original plan is Mom and Dad will take me and my sister to the wedding banquet take place in W hotel.  While a tyhoon is coming close and signal number 3 was hoisted, Mom and Dad decided to leave me at home and only took Samantha with them.  They left the banquet a bit earlier and reached home right before signal number 8 was hoisted.

First time in touch with the ocean

This evening we went to Stanley beach with Uncle Arthur and her daughter Kirsten. Mom took me to feel the sands and the sea water. This is the first time in get intact with the ocean.

I am 100 days old

No real celebration.  We just have a nice brunch, then have a relaxing Sunday afternoon walk to Golden Bauhinia Square.  We met the flags lowering ceremony there.  In the evening, we crossed the harbour by ferry to visit Grand Ma’s sister’s home and have a relatives dinner gathering there.

3 months old

I am 3 months old now.  I can use my eyes to track objects, such as camera.  Not yet can I flip over my body though.

Lunch with Jacinta

Today we went to Element to have lunch with Dad’s friend Jacinta, Kelly and Uncle William.  Dad got Jacinta’s request of writing more on my blog.

After lunch, we join auntie Carrie and anutie Eva to go to Science Museum.  I have no knowledge of science at all and I only sat there looking at Samantha, Calista and Haley playing around.

We came back to Element to have dinner then went home.

Calista 3rd birthday party

This is the 2nd birthday party I attended.  The first one is my sister’s birthday party happened in May.  Today, we went to Element Wildfire to have lunch with Calista and her family with sharing her Minnie birthday cake at the end.

See photos and videos here.

Who is dummy?

Reading book with Dad.

Visit Auntie Eva

We went with Auntie Carrie and Haley to visit Auntie Eva.  After lunch, we went to the pool and I saw Samantha swam with Haley and Calista.  We have winter melon for dinner.

What's in a Name

Juliet:
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

Dad and Mom finalized my chinese name as 李大剛.  Dad went to The Births and Deaths General Register Office in Admiralty and registered my name today.

Apparently, the name sounds a bit bold and not match with my tiny size but Dad told me another story.

According to Dad, my name is source from a poem written by a Qing Dynasty official who had a historical linkage with Hong Kong, where I was born.

  「 海納百川 有容乃大

     壁立千刃 無欲則剛 」

林則徐 (1785 – 1850)

有容乃大，出自《尚書》。

無欲則剛，出自《論語》。

 

 

This bold name would also be balanced by the soft nature of my english name – Wilfred.

New Arrival
