Toddler's life

2011-03-24T23:38:00.000-07:00

Time goes fast. It only take 18 months to become an 18-month girl. Life has been busy and I haven't had chance to post photos for quite a while. Here are some for my exciting toddler life.

December 18th, 2010, the magical day

2010-12-21T19:59:00.000-08:00

Yilin did many of her first move much earlier than normal children. She started rolling on fourth month, crawling on 7, walking on 11 and running on 13. Probably because she consumes more energy than most children do, she gets hungry quicker than average. Therefore it's tough for her to sleep through night.

Many infants start sleeping through night at six month, most do before nine month. Yilin had her first full night sleep on December 18th 2010, her 15th month. Which means, I finally got my full night sleep in last 15 months. The cool part is, December 18th is a clean cut. Before December 18th, Yilin had never slept through night, not for a single time. Since the, she sleeps through night for every night so far. December 18th 2010 is a magical day for Yilin.

Stop drinking fomula and start walking

2010-10-03T21:23:00.000-07:00

Two things happened in last week. Fomula was completely stopped, and now I officially can walk.

Similac recently recalled large amount of advance fomula powder. Because of this, all local stores stopped setting Similac Advance powder completely. This is the only fomula that I take, even the Similac Advance liquid fomula is not acceptable to me. Without the supply, I'm forced to do a clean stop for fomula. Fortunately, the process went smoothly.

Daddy is surprised to see I walk to anywhere I want without holding anything. I walk at home, in the park, on the street, where ever I want, whenever I want.

I'm five months old

This is very very educational

Better theatrical performer than Steven Seagal

This photo is to prove that I am a better theatrical performer than professional actor Steven Seagal.

The magical day I was born

2009-09-27T18:55:00.000-07:00

My birthday is a surprise to Mom and Dad.

Before I was born, the estimated due date was Sep 12. After several days of delay mom decided to force me out by inducing on Sep 22. Even though I was in mom's belly, I was scared about the word "inducing". On Sep 22 4am, I realize I have to take initiative and come out by myself before too late, and start messing around in mom's belly.

After long enough fighting and screaming, there went my first cry on exactly 13:00. I still clearly remember for the very first time my eyes opened. Mommy looked exhausted and happy, daddy was scared with one hand on my back, the other holding a plate of unfinished chicken salad, and the room number of childbirth unit in South Bend Memorial hospital was 5.

During the time I was washed and wrapped by nurses on an ice old tray, I realized I was doomed to come out on day 2009-09-22, one way or another.

This isn't the whole story, the really big surprise is to dad. Sep 22 in 2009 is Aug 5 under Chinese traditional calendar, which was widely used in mom and dad's generation in China. Under this calendar, dad's birthday is also Aug 5! Dad and I have the same birthday!

The start!

Greetings, people of earth, my name is Yilin. In 2009 September, my mom brought me to life on this planet. As this message is typed, there isn't anything that I know how other than crying, sleeping and messing with diaper. While I understand there will be a lot to learn and a lot to experience in my life.

My mommy and daddy love me incredibly no matter how bad I am. They keep telling me I'm the coolest girl on the planet, when they wake up in the middle of night, when they change diaper during dinner, or any time they see my black eyes open. Wring diary is beyond my capability right now. To record stories of mom, dad and me, I created this blog to remind myself when I'm old enough to read.
