Sol-B's first trip to McDonald's


On Saturday, both Kelvin and I woke up early (well, I wake up at 6:30am-7am every day anyway). So we decided to go to Wal-Mart and also eat MickeyD's for breakfast. Kelvin's parents were up early that day too so they also came along.

I haven't had a McDonald's breakfast in sooooo long! Taste so good! Sol-B was asleep the whole time during the 1-hour trip.

Moon Yuet

We had Moon Yuet dinner on Saturday at Perfect Chinese Restaurant. Fortunately Sol-B was very well behaved after he had a feeding. He opened his eyes wide for the pictures and then fell asleep in my arms while I ate with my left hand. I have to get used to the "not being able to eat b/c have to take care of baby" while out in restaurants!

My niece Karena help cover Sol-B's eyes b/c the light is too bright!














Sol-B was hungry again on the way home. We gave him a pacifier to soothe him temporarily on the ride home. I know many people will say this is a big NO NO. The pacifier is ONLY for emergency use!

Lighting Lantern

To celebrate Sol-B's first month, we lit a lantern last Thursday to tell the Lui elders about Sol-B.

Hand and feet imprints

Last Saturday, we went to make hand and feet imprints for Sol-B. At first we were a bit hesitant to have them done or not b/c they are quite expensive, but I think it's quite worth it now.

Sol-B was very cooperative as he was sleeping while in por por's arms, so that made the making of the feet cast go very smoothly. Por por at the end gave Sol-B a grade of A- for behaviour! Can't give him too much praise so quickly!

Look at me and 2 grandmas fussing over Sol-B while the grandads sit there...














Sol-B fast asleep as his feet imprints are being casted:

First time to 茶餐廳


Last Friday, I went for my post-natal visit and we took Sol-B along b/c you never know how long the doctor's wait will be and Sol-B is being breastfed. Afterward, we went to HK style fast food restaurant 茶餐廳 to eat and drank HK style milk tea for the first time in more than a month! Boy, does it taste good!

Sol-B was crying at first in the restaurant. He quited down after we pull his hat over his eyes and he then went to sleep! Apparently, his dad and his yea yea are like that too! Hmmm...

Sol-B's dirty scalp














Sol-B doesn't really have any baby smell. He actually has a 佬味smell, just like his dad! Oh well, I guess it's ok b/c he's a boy!

We didn't really brush his hair too much at first, only washed it or wiped with wet cloth. He has some cradle cap. Look at how much dead skin he has after grandma brushed his hair today!

Sol-B 1 month


June 14, 2010 marks Sol-B's 1-month birthday. We visited the pediatrician in the morning and Sol-B now weights 7 lbs 3 oz! He's only in the 5th percentile in weight for his age though. But he started off at only 5 lbs 7oz so he has some catching up to do!

The whole family had dinner and Sol-B collected lai see from gung gung, por por, yea yea and mah mah. Oh yeah, even from 大伯! We also lighted a lantern to "tell the elder relatives that Sol-B is now 1 month". Something like that anyway...

But poor Sol-B was over exhausted that evening and didn't sleep at all from 6pm-1am. He even didn't have enough energy to cry. Poor Sol-B.

We'll sure he gets enough nap time during the day from now on...
