Family stories.
This is Karen’s version of Peek-A-Boo with Lia!
Lia is 7 months old now. We noticed that she coughed occasionally and the coughing started 2 weeks ago. Also, she started to wake up crying every 3-4 hours at night. When we went to the 6 months check up and found out why she wasn’t herself lately……..
I hope that she will go back to her 9 hours sleep now since the two little white puppies are out. 😉
New milestone: Rejecting food. Butternut Squash…
Well, I’m not crazy about squash either…
Here’s Lia’s first experience with Broccoli…
I guess she liked it!
First of all, congratulations to Vivian and George for a beautiful wedding with many personalized touches this past Sunday! After the ceremony, we attended the reception.
Then there was the bouquet toss. Stella was planning to bring Lia to the group, but she was very late in getting up to the group. By the time she arrived at the back of the pack, the bouquet missile had already been launched into its trajectory and momentarily hit its target of Stella and Lia. Lia’s head was covered in a layer of sparkles, and she immediately informed all wedding participants of her dismay at this unfolding of events, with a loud wail.
What an experience for a first wedding!
Here’s Lia’s first experience with solid food, the Rice Cereal! Does she like it? Or does she not?
Lia has hit a new milestone! Unfortunately her first activity after achieving this milestone is not highly desirable…
Why is it that many songs I can remember from childhood are not the sweet little music but morbid and disturbing? For example…
London bridge is falling down, falling down falling down
London bridge is falling down, my fair lady.
or…
Rock-a-bye baby in the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
And for Chinese songs (translated), such as…
Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast
One has no eyes, one has no tail, so peculiar, so peculiar
or Taiwanese songs such as…
Grandpa wants to cook salty, grandma wants to cook bland,
The two fights and breaks the pot, wa ha ha
Shouldn’t songs for kids be all cheery and fun? Where did all these songs come from?
When I bought my SanDisk Compact Flash card, I read online that many people had problems with their rebate even though they had submitted all documentation. In order to cover my bases, I decided to create a video documentation of my putting every piece of documentation in the envelope and sent my submission. After a few weeks, I got this…
I’m amazed at how informative the internet is! Anyway, I made a call to the the number, and the operator put me on hold for 3 minutes and came back to say the rebate was approved and will be sent to me. Still, I can’t help but think if this is a tactic to save money on their part for all the people who never bothered to call in.
The morale of the story is, always document properly all your rebate submissions and always follow up!
