Finally, some Cody photos

It's been a little over two months since Cody was born, thanks to this 4 day holiday weekend, I finally have a chance to put some photos of Cody (and Cadi of course) up.

Some updates.
Cadi is starting to speak better now. She very occasionally is able to imitate the words we say and she seems to "sing" sometimes now.
Cadi loves:
* To go up to our house's second floor.
* To wear only a single adult's slipper and walk around the house.
* Her grandma and grandpa and brother.
* To eat (still).

She does not love:
* To wash her hair.
* To change diaper.
* To be alone.


Cody is quite different from Cadi in terms of feeding, sleep and awake schedule. Cadi was very regular since the start, not so with Cody. As a result, Joy and I have been sleep deprived for quite a while now. One new thing about taking care of Cody is that one has to be careful changing his diapers or shower him as there is a chance that you'll be attacked with shooting pee.
Cody loves:
* Staying awake and not let his parents rest.
* Falling asleep several times before finishing drinking his milk.
* Move his arms and legs.

Cody does not love:
* Can't think of any right now.


Cadi has always liked her little brother since he came home from the hospital. This is the first day that Cadi saw Cody.

Joy's mom came her for a week and brought Cadi two pairs of the walking shoes. This is first time Cadi trying it on.


I LOVE Cadi's look in this photo.




Joy and Cody is inside the room with the closed door. Cadi really wanted to go see Cody (I think) and had to resort to checking what's going on inside by peeking through the gap under the door.


You can see how much Cadi loves her brother here.

In 2004, I created the nyyad.info website for, well, the BLIA New York young adult division group.  :)  Since my "retirement" from the youth group from around two years ago, the site has largely gone unmaintained and is really showing it's age.   Today, Nov 3, 2010, it has finally reached it's end of life.

The nyyad.info site was created before the blogging platforms become really popular.  After my youth group "retirement", I've already thought about create a blogger.com site to replace what I created.  My thought was that using a free and updated solution that's maintained by Google would at least keep the site alive even when no one continues to maintain the site, pay the web hosting and domain name, etc. 

A couple of months ago, I saw that my web hosting contract is going to end in November, 2010, knowing that I'm not going to renew my contract, I decided to create a demo nyyad.info site using a readily available blogging platform and let the current NY YAD members know about it as an option when my web hosting contract ends.  Rather than using blogger.com for my demo site, I decided to use WordPress, which is a much more powerful blogging platform than blogger.com.  Combined with free hosting, which I believe is enough for NYYAD's website, we'll have a low cost solution going forward.

With the nyyad.info reaching it's last day, now what?  Well, the current NYYAD members decided to get the nyyad.org domain name (which I think should have been the site's domain name from the start but I was young and didn't know.  =P) and use WordPress to replace the original site.

Sep. 19, 2010

Since I took some belly photos of Joy when she was carrying Cadi, I've been wanting to take more belly photos of Joy this time as well.

On Sunday, Sep. 19, just a couple of days before Cody's due date, I finally picked up the camera and took some photos. Joy wanted to have photos of Cadi with her belly this time but due to Cadi's age, it was impossible to instruct her to sit still. So no photos of Cadi playing with the belly. :(

Only two photos made it to the albums, Cadi's presence has something to do with this too. :)

Larger (top) this time. Compared to the first one (bottom).



The next morning, after waking up and preparing to go to work, Joy said she thinks her water broke. So rather than going to work, I took her to the hospital. Eleven hours later, Cody was born. Talk about great timing, huh?
