Happy Chubby Christmas Day !!

Christmas morning, Chubby woke up from a light fever  he had last night possibly from teething. The fever is gone, and he is as active as if the fever was never there. We know boxing day should be tomorrow but since we have a trip to go on to, we decided to let Chubby unwrap his pressies today :) Just like his birthday, he’s more interested in the unwrapping the paper more than the actual gift itself!  But he had a huge progress unwrapping the gifts. He knows what to do this time! Thanks everyone for the gifts!

Merry Early X’mas!

This is Chubby Feet’s first Christmas, dada and mama have been struggling to find a Christmas present(s) for Chubby. His mom bought this Snoopy stocking stuffer, but what we are getting Chubby would not fit inside haha. After several weeks of head scratching and researching, we finally decided on a play kitchen set. Since last time at a friend’s house warming party, Chubby’s little friendsie Chloe has a play kitchen set and Chubby loves it. So we thought he would love to have one of his own. There started our project of moving furniture around and clearing an area to make a play area for him. We bought the North States Superyard XT Gate Play Yard from Amazon, together with a Two-panel Extension Kit. This combo is big enough to create an area slightly bigger than 6′ x 6′.  His play kitchen is from Step2 Fresh Market Kitchen. So far Chubby Feet is loving it, he gets his play time everyday after his dinner and he would basically take everything (play food, plates, cups, etc) out of the kitchen and left all the doors (oven, fridge) opened.

First birthday party at Knott’s

1

December 18th, 2010 – rainy day. Chubby Feet had his very 1st birthday party with many lovely uncles & aunties. Since mommie bear loves Snoopy, where else is better to host little Chubster’s birthday party than the Knott’s Berry Farm? Being a cake lover, mommie bear had to get Chubby not only 1, but 3 cakes and with a lot of cake pops for everybody. The main cake was a red velvet fondant cake of Snoopy’s house with Snoopy and Woodstock. The second cake was a smash cake made with low sugar vanilla just for the babies, and the third cake was a half  sheet vanilla cake, and the cake pops were chocolate cake covered with fondant sculptured into Snoopy’s head.

Chubby says long time no see, but who are you?

This past Saturday, Chubby had dinner with auntie Katie. I don’t think he remembers auntie Katie, he must be like “who the heck is this trouble lady always wanting to hold me”- LOL. Last time she saw him was 9 months ago, thats when Chubby was only3 months old, or 84 days to be exact. Look at him back then HAHAHAHA, so small.

Chubby Feet’s milestone: The Rabbit is out

P1110430

P1110422 P1110425

Finally, the long hiding rabbit is out. Chubby has nothing else but these two front upper teeth popped out last week. Where are the rest of them chubby? Besides the teething, Chubby has been cruising around lately. His legs are still a little weak, but he has been wanting to stand up all the time. Very soon, he should be taking his first step without holding on to anything. Can’t wait to see that, but not really looking forward to it haha. I am sure most parents understand that, once they start walking……you better be as energized as your little one is or else you will never be able to keep up.



Shopping for his little friensie

Chubby Feet is doing his Santa work this weekend, shopping Xmas pressies for his little friensie at school. Note the big crayon he was holding, he would not let go so it ended up at home. We bought a bunch of headbands haha and a Xmas bucket to put candies in. Can’t wait to see them all wearing the headbands for pictures LOL.



Chipmunk baby refuses to eat

Chubby Feet has been storing food in his mouth lately, he does chew but he just stores them. We are calling him the little chipmunk! We have to give him lots of fluid to wash them down, sometimes we even have to pick them back out because they get stuck in his mouth and he is super annoyed by them! He is also refusing to be fed, he will not eat or drink unless he’s feeding himself. He loves his apple juice but hates his milk, as soon as he sees that bottle he will turn his head away. We aren’t sure if he was just recovering from his sickness so he wasn’t having his normal appetite or what, but we are trying everything we could to get him to eat! Even his day care teacher noticed that he felt a little lighter, Chubby Feet is losing weight (or not gaining)  and will soon turn into Skinny Feet if he keeps storing his food.

Four days in a row

Chubby has had this fever for four days !! We took him to the doc and he was first diagnosed with a mild middle ear infection. Could be due to the cold that he caught, with the runny nose and all, everything just mixed in together. To add to the complication, one of his little friends at his day care was having similar symptoms – and he was diagnosed with a Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). We aren’t exactly sure if it got passed on to Chubby, but since this virus is highly contagious so the chances are pretty high. This virus causes coughing, sneezing, runny noses, sore throats, or fever. Chubby had most of the above symptoms >_< but we take no chances, we took him to the doctor to make sure there are no complications such as pneumonia. Chubby Feet is now on antibiotics for his middle ear infections. Even though he might have caught the RSV, it is a virus that our immune system will cure over time.

Thanksgiving weekend – from the Tamily

Back Camera

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!  Wanted to give thanks to everyone who cares and loves for our Chubby Feet!  He surely is a lucky baby surrounded by all lovely people!! I hope everyone had a safe and happy thanksgiving!

So what did the Tamily do on thanksgiving?  Mama Bear has always brought up to be festive.  As some of you know, Mr. Bear and I wasn’t brought up here so Thanksgiving is not something that we  celebrated until we moved to the states.  Since we are going to raise Chubby in the states, Mama bear thinks its necessary to let Chubby know what exactly is Thanksgiving and how we should celebrate.  Of course he is still pretty young to know what Thanksgiving is nor he could eat all the food that I cooked! So this year’s thanksgiving dinner is almost like a practice year for me.  I decided to cook the whole dinner even though Chubby won’t be eating it :)
