Grandma is going back to Taiwan

Finally it's time for Grandma to say good-bye to beloved A-Nini. She is going back to Taiwan after 3 months stay. Grandma takes care of A-Nini 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and Anini must feel different that someone important to her is no longer next to her everyday..

"Grandma, A-nini will miss you."

Don't Worry A-Nini, we will go back to Taiwan to see Grandma next year! Do not forget her voice and how much she loves you.



"My new outfit."

Daddy's first bath

Since last week, Grandma decided let Daddy to take a bath for A-Nini. A-Nini likes taking a bath very much now. We guess she thinks we are playing with her.

Daddy has been trained to be ready for this job since A-Nini's first bath, from preparing the water with perfect temperature, putting clothes on her and changing diapers. Finally this day is coming. Grandma supervised the whole process to make sure everything go smoothly.

"Daddy is washing my body!"

It's more difficult than I expected. First, I have to tap her butt with water before the rest of body goes into the water to let her get used to it. Then, use left hand to hold her left arm to support her head. Next step, use a small tower wipe her face while the water is still clean, and then wash her body and her hair with baby soap.

"Daddy is washing my hair."

Next part is even challenging - washing her back. I had to switch hands to turn her over. Grandma's trick allows Daddy to turn her over quickly but still hold her tightly. More importantly, A-Nini did not cry at all from the begining. She looks like she is having fun. ^^

"I have better cooperate with Daddy otherwise no milk after bath."


"Look, I stand up!"

She always cries loudly after a bath, either she still wants to stay in the tub or she is hungry. Of course, we reward her cooperation with a 60 ml mother milk after a bath everytime.

"Yummy Yummy..."

Gifts for A-Nini

My Japanese co-work, Yuki, made a lovely sweater jacket for Tiffany. Yuki is like our team mon always taking care of young guys like me(?) in my company.


Heui-Lin’s friend Cathy and Sara also purchase 2 beautiful clothes for Tiffany. I joked it looks like a jedi outfit. Albert, her cousin, a big Star War fan, would agree on this one.

"I am a young Jedi and Yoda is my master."


"May the force be with you, young Jedi Tiffany"

Uncle Chaipin and Aunt Lesley gave her some lovely clothes again. A bunny is from My brother-in-law's sister. We better put on her now otherwise they will be too small for her next month!


"Bunny is my buddy. Thank you for giving me so many gifts."

A-Nini is 2 Months old

Tiffany is 2 months old on 4/23. Now she is 10 pounds 6 ounces and 21" tall. Almost double her weight when she was born! Her doctor brought us some good news: Tiffany is healthy and feeding with mother milk is really helpful to her growth. Excellent job, Mommy.

Of course, today's doctor visit is to give her 3 vaccine shot on her legs: Hib, Dtap and PCV. Immunization Schedule - USA .


"Mommy I don't want to see uncle doctor again."

We purchase some new clothes designed for 3-9 months baby last weekend for her. They are still a little bit small for her. She did get all nutritions from her Mommy, but why not grow some hair?

Tiffany's current nicknames are
"A-Nini" - from her name Tiffany.
"little old man"- she looks like a little old man still have very few hair on her top.

"Mommy called me A-Nini but Daddy called me little old man. Why?"

After having 3 shots, she looks very sleepy for 2 days. Today she is energetic again! I think it's better for her not knowing she will have another 3 shots when she is 4 months old.

It used to take 1-2 hours for Tiffany to fall in sleep at night. Grandma suggested that we could give her a pacifier. It’s much easier for us to let her fall in sleep at night now. Great stuff!

"Yummy, yummy"
