Carissa's Blog

So today we decided to try feed her using bottle, but I have to leave the house. So many people told me to let the dad gives her bottle and mommy has to leave the house. And voila!!! she actually took the bottle!!!

Now I feel a lil bit relief knowing that my baby will not starve while I'm at work :). I'm so happy and proud of my husband and daughter!! :)

I just realized that I never had any pictures with my baby. SO I took a picture with her using my photo booth software. :)

Hahahahah our living room is officially looks like a day care center :D hahaha

I can't resist of this take-along swing, I bought it only for 5.50 bucks well the shipping was 25. BUT it's brand new, and if you buy it at the store cost around 60 bucks :D So we can take this swing when we go to grandma's house :)


As for now, she has 3 Swings, 2 bouncers, 1 Jumperoo, and 1 Excersaucer. And all of them each only cost me less than 30 bucks :D hahahahaha. Yes.. mommy destri is a cheapo! :P

I was going to print some of her photos, and I was browsing back when she was just 2 days old. Looking all the pictures made me sad.. seems like she grows too fast... next thing I know she will go to school! :( look at those 2 pictures, she has grown so much in a very short time.

Sometime this is why I want to be a stay home mom, so I won't missed a thing. (tho I only work for 3 hrs per day..) :D.

I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL!!

Look someone is a big girl now! 12 weeks.. almost 3 months old! :) (well technically 12 weeks = 3 mos). Hmmm what's new with her... well.. first.. she doesn't take any pacifier anymore.. (sometime I wish she would take one). Then.. she smiles alot and more often. She loves her swing, and her schedule is pretty regular.


She slept through the night, but sometime she wakes up around 3 for feeding. She can hold her head up for pretty long time and high too.

Here are the pacifiers that we already tried on her and failed! :( Tonight we're going to try to give her a bottle (still breast milk) we will try to give her breast milk till at least she's 9 mos old. Hopefully she will take the bottle.. otherwise not good since I'm going back to work this coming Monday.


Carissa just got a beautiful quilt from her grand-aunt Nancy. Thank you so much, it's gorgeous.

Carissa is 11 weeks today,

I took her to grocery shop this afternoon, I was kinda scared that she will throw me one of her tantrums but she was actually happy being out and about with me. She was cooing and smiling when she was on the car seat. She didn't even fuss when I hit the traffic light, we play "where's Carissa's toes" a lot these days. She loves is when she kick and I kiss her feet...

She woke up smiling when she got some good naps during the days. She loves napping with mommy, it means she sleeps next to me swaddled in the big bed. When she nap with me, she occasionally open her eyes a lil bit to make sure her mommy still laying next to her and then she fell back to sleep.

Now after 11 weeks, I LOVE my decision to breastfeed her. Tho it was so painful the first 4 weeks, I honestly love the gift to be able to breast feed my baby. I love the lil noise that she makes when she eat in the middle of the night. I love when she's full she just stop and pull away and closed her eyes and her lil lips to show me 'I'm done mommy'.

Aw.. there are so many things that I can keep on talking about how great being Carissa's mommy. There are 2 comments that people always said when the first time they see her..
1. Look all the hair she has!
2. Look at those big eyes!

Hahahahha... okay I'm done talking about my baby.. :) I'll post more pictures tomorrow.

We went to grandma & grandpa this weekend, the drive was okay we had to stop once to feed her but after that she fell asleep again. Over at grandma's house Carissa slept pretty good, she fell asleep around 9 and woke up around 2:30 for feeding and fell back to sleep till 6:30am.

Seems like she found her arms this weekend, she's been sucking her fist (yeap fist.. not thumb yet). And I think she might found her legs too, because on the way back she kept on looking at her legs and kicking.


Her new nick name is 'Bubbles', since she's born she always blowing bubbles till now. :) This morning she hung out with grandma & grandpa watching the News on TV, which is so cute because you can really tell that she can't take her eyes from the TV and upset when grandma stood in a way.


On the way back she was sleeping in and out, and we decided to stop once to feed her again so she won't fuss. We made it.. home safe and sound...


just the three of us again.. *sigh* why can't grandma & grandpa live nearer...

Thanks for the lovely weekend grandma & grandpa...

HOT NEWS!!


Today for the very first time again she slept on her crib for nap. Even tho it's only 20 mins nap, but it's a big step for her. Last night I slept with her in the big girl bed, because for some reason we couldn't put her down :(. We tried 3 times and I gave up so I just laid her next to me and she fell asleep till 5am! But Carson doesn't like it, so we will try to put her down in her crib again tonight.

Oh well... maybe she just want some cuddle time with mommy! :) heheheheh

Here some pictures from last night and today.

Yesterday Bree and her daddy visited us, Bree is 5 months old now and she loves to drool :D hehehe she's such a cutie! Here are some pictures from yesterday.

We just got back from the dr. appointment. She weigh 10 lbs 11 oz, and grew couple inches, her head is 40 cm diameter now.

She got 6 shots today, well I think 5 shots and 1 oral. She didn't like it at all, when the first needle poked her she screamed her lungs out, I didn't cry because I was busy distracting her.. anyway I keep in mind that she won't remember the pain and she does need these vaccinations.

Once all the shots given, I tried to console her.. she kept on screaming for about uhm.. 5 mins and then I nurse her.. she settled down after that.

Now she's swaddled and taking her nap... peacefully. I thought this shots will be harder on me than Carson.. but seems the other way around... :D what a good daddy.

Next vaccinations.. 4 mos. check-up. *sigh* better not to think about it.

Pictures from today:

Tomorrow is her big day! 2 months check-up and bunch of vaccinations... I know she won't remember the pain from the shots.. but I'm the one that so nervous about it.. :( I will update this blog after we got back from the dr. appt. okay :)

Here are some pictures that Carson took :) it's amazing how she can smile at us now...

Forgot to mention, today Carissa is officially 2 months old and I'm back to work (my night job). So now I'm sitting here, thinking about my baby.. Hopefully she's still sleeping, otherwise Carson has to rock her back to sleep. awwwwwwwwwww I miss my baby already.. and I'm sleepy.. :(

Happy 2 mos. old baby girl.. mommy & daddy love you sooooooo much!

She likes to smile when we talk to her in high pitch voice.. :)

We didn't do much last weekend.. we were chillin out at home. Grandma & grandpa andorf stopped by from their long trip to Colorado. Carissa showed Grandma her smile and her chatter box skills.

Here are some pictures of Carissa watching TV with Tikky & Pooh :) Ok.. she's awake now.. time to entertain her.
