Since I failed and did not complete the 365 project last year...I'm attempting another project but on a smaller scale. One photo a day for one month. Wish me luck!

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:53:00 -0700 Feeding Sage http://cchan808.posterous.com/feeding-sage http://cchan808.posterous.com/feeding-sage

Img_7389_copy
I thought he was ready for his first taste of solid food!. He showed great interest whenever we were eating our meals. I was excited to buy the rice cereal. Plus he was 5 going on to 6 months in age.

Our first attempt was on April 10 after getting the O.K. from our family doctor. I had his baby bowl and spoon ready, multiple hand towels at hand and a bib just in case it turned into a really messy feeding session. It was messy but all because he willingly did not want to eat. He cried and fussed. He clenched his jaw when we put the spoon to his lips and turns his head away. I even added puréed banana to the cereal for some sweet taste but no luck either. All of our attempts so far have been met with pursed lips and frustrated cries...

I guess he has his own idea about feeding...still prefers to be breastfed only!

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 13:10:00 -0800 I'm still around...+1 http://cchan808.posterous.com/im-still-around1 http://cchan808.posterous.com/im-still-around1

Has it been that long since I last posted here? I didn't finish my 365 last year and hopefully I'll get to do another one when Sage is a little older and not so hands on where he needs my attention all the time! I haven't really had the chance to be out and about taking pictures like before and when I do, I have him on me in the baby carrier. Not so easy to hold a camera, focus and move in motion so he doesn't fuss.

In any case, if you don't already know...Sage is my son...and he'll turn 5 months next Saturday! He was a late baby....preferred the comforts of my warm and HUGE belly but finally decided to make his appearance on October 17. He was 8lbs 9.6oz and 21 inches, delivered at 7.44 am!

Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you struggle to keep your own. -Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons

Fresh white nectarines! They are in season at the moment, and I love them when they are really fresh. The inside of the nectarine is pure white, crunchy and tasted mildly sweet, like a combination between an apple and a peach.

Belly bump = 34 weeks pregnant!

Baby Y weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Things are getting tight in there: baby Y may be slowing down, and I might be too. Or not! I feel so cumbersome like a mama duck waddling around, going nowhere fast.

10th anniversary Duke's OceanFest (a weeklong event), honoring legendary Hawaiian waterman Duke Kahanamoku, in true Waikiki Beachboy style! He is perhaps the most remembered and respected Hawaiian surfer, a master of canoeing and a champion Olympic swimmer – a true waterman. Duke helped the surf sport reach unbelievable popularity, not only in Hawaii, but around the world. That’s why he is also called “the father of international surfing.”

A pallate of colors fills the sky
With the beauty of the Gods.
May I ever work to better myself
So that I may better reflect that beauty,
Both inside and out.
So mote it be.

Bird brain or in my case pregnancy-induced brain fog (pregnancy amnesia). Sometimes I'll just completely zone out in the middle of doing something or lose my train of thought while speaking.

So many Sunday open houses, so little time! We will need a bigger place soon as we will have a new addition to the family and hoping to own rather than renting. We should have started looking right after we got married!

Being first time parents, we wanted our infant car seat installation inspected. Today, we went to Mililani Town Center as Keiki Injury Prevention Coalition/Safe Kids Hawaii (KIPC) were offering free child safety seat check-ups. We had a professional make sure we installed and use the car seat properly (as you can see teddy bear's arms and legs should be under the belt and not over.)
