Cadi (more of 5 months)

Cadi turned 6 months old.  So I'm posting some more recent smiling photos of her but before we do that, we shall see a photo of Cadi crying out loud.


Cadi is quite afraid of strangers (not good) unlike Sydney (on the right, a friend's baby of similar age), who's quite calm. The story is that Cadi didn't start crying until she saw Sydney's dad.


But this and the other smiling photos at my web site are proofs that Cadi does smile a lot when she sees familiar faces.


Cadi does break dancing. Maybe she'll be on "So You Think You Can Dance" in the future.


Finding a way to watch the TV behind her. Quite impressive.


A sequence of Cadi picking up her pacifier and losing it. She recently began picking up her pacifier and stuff it in her mouth, sometimes the right way, sometimes not. :)


Took Cadi out for a walk for the first time. Took her to Waldbaums first (cried) and then to a little park. This photo is me showing Cadi her dad is STRONG. (No, it was really tiring having extra 20 pounds on me).

Cadi (4~5 months)

Cadi is starting to become a fun "toy". Started to smile, making funny sounds and does funny moves. Unfortunately, photography is a still form and it can't really capture motion and certainly can't capture sounds. Even though we bought a camcorder (by Joy's order), I'm not really into videography. Maybe when I get the new generation of DSLR that has the video capture ability. :)




Cadi started to smile a while ago but it has been hard to capture it as every time she sees the camera, she just stops smiling and looks at it dumbfoundedly. LOL. So I'm happy to finally have a good smile photo.


She also started to grab things a while ago. It's a bit hard to tell in this photo but there's my hair in Cadi's hand and she's really pulling it HARD.


Fingers in the mouth, part of growing up for most (if not all) babies. Any thing that goes near her mouth, she'll start licking. Very funny. :)


Started feeding rice cereal and oatmeal to Cadi. This is the look every single time after feeding.


I title this one "無動於衷" (translates to "unmoved"?).


Love Cadi's "shocking" expression here. :)

Misc. stills

Now that I have been posting nothing but Cadi for the last 3 months, it's time to dig out the few non-Cadi photos. =D


Ya, fire alarm.


A budding plant. Believe it's ginger.

Sniff, sniff. Guess who's sick?

Well, it's Cadi. On 9/25/09, I started noticing a different sound coming from Cadi's breathing and the next day, Cadi started to have mucus coming out from her nose. So 9/26/09 marks the official first day that she catches a cold. To celebrate her first cold experience, in addition to posting 2~3 months old photos of Cadi, I'm going to post the most recent ones as well.


Cadi needs her pacifier to fall asleep. Without it, it's practically impossible. And Cadi has a pretty strong neck already. We say she's a turtle when she does that.


Two new photos of Cadi and mommy.




Don't think sitting is good for the baby right now but when she sits up, it's just so darn cute.

Cadi turning 3 months old

Yes, Cadi's 3 months old now.  She's certainly heavier, taller and much much louder than before.  She also smiles quite a bit now. As usual, there will be photos of her but just not now.  I recently upgraded my Mac OS to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) so I've been reinstalling all the programs I have (Mac OS X is awesome btw  ^^). 

However, there is one new photo of Cadi that I found to be hilarious that I just wanted to show it first.  Here it is.


Cadi's latest expression of "What ya looking at, huh?" (left) vs. her 1 month old expression (right). I think it's just too cute. Haha~

Cadi turning 2 months old

Cadi turned 2 months old couple days ago. She's now 11 lb. 15 oz., close to double the birth weight. And to celebrate, I'm going to finally post some photos from a month ago when she turned 1 month old. :)


We'll start with her finishing take a shower and preparing to get dressed in several outfits.


Outfit #1


Outfit #2


Outfit #3


Outfit #4


Outfit #5

So which one is your favorite outfit? :)
And we'll finish off with a more recent photo (from a week ago).


Chubby Cadi.

Cadi turning 1....month old. =D

Cadi turned 1 month old yesterday and this officially ends Joy's 1 month postnatal home imprisonment as well and today she went out for the first time since she came back from the hospital. She feels good now. :)

Before Joy's mom left, we celebrated Cadi turning 1 month old by buying her a cake (even though she can't have any) and have her change into a couple of new outfits. Those photos will come later. Today, I'm posting photos of Cadi being 2~3 weeks old. Oh, and we went to see the pediatrician today. Cadi went from 6 lb a month ago to 9 lb 3 oz and no more jauntis. We did our job in the past month. =D


Cadi is a pretty strong baby I think. Her kicks are especially powerful. Doesn't she look like she's doing boxing here?


The "What da heck are you doing" stare.


Cadi, the mummy. Wrapping her tightly worked wonders when we wanted her to go to sleep but I get the feeling that she's beginning to not like this.



Joy's mom and cousin, Maggie. Don't know where Maggie learned to do the thing on her head (she said it appears in Korean dramas). We think it's so cute that we want to put the same thing on Cadi. Cadi's head is a bit small but the towel thing still looks cute on her.
