I turned 5 months old this week. Nowadays, I laugh more and cry less, I actually play with my toys, and I flip from stomach to back easily. Of course I am still refusing the bottle. As they say, you can't win them all.
Daddy keeps talking about doing bottle and sleep training before I turn 6 months old. What?! This will be a battle of will between me and my daddy, with my bleeding heart mommy caught in the middle. What drama!
On Thursday, mommy, Uncle Warren, and I got to visit daddy in his office. I met a bunch of his co-workers and even got to have lunch with him at his usual lunch spot. Pretty cool. Too bad daddy works so far away. Otherwise, we can do this more often.
And now, the highlight of the week.... A QUADRUPLE PLAY DATE!!! Ryan, Amanda, Natalie, and I got to play together at Uncle Mike and Auntie Hilda's house on Saturday. We were all born within 4 months of each other and we are all CAL babies. Including Natalie's two older sister, Sera and Mae, we can form our own volleyball team. It was a crazy fun afternoon for us kids and for our parents. Uncle Mike, I can't wait to see the videos you took for the afternoon.

Week 21 - 4th of July, Fireworks, Woo-hoo!!
We all started out sick this week (both mommy and daddy took sick days Monday), but it turned out to be a pretty good week.
My sleep schedule was off due to being sick last weekend, which makes life hard on mommy and daddy. To make myself worth their while, I started to laugh and squeal more, much to their delight.
Wednesday was 4th of July. Uncle Warren had some friends over to their house and had their own firework show. I got a front row seat. I like fireworks. They are so pretty and sparkly. A bit loud though.
This weekend I saw baby Clara for the first time. She is only 2 weeks old. She is so cute and tiny. Mommy and daddy told me that I was once that small too and that they sometimes wish that I am still that small. What sentimental saps!

Week 20 - Happy 4th Anniversary!!
To celebrate, how about a dose of stomach flu?
Thursday (6/28) was supposed to my mommy and daddy's fourth anniversary. They had big plans to ditch me and get away for lunch on Saturday to celebrate. Unfortunately, I started throwing up everything I ate on Friday. Mommy and daddy took me to see Dr. Magtoto and found out that I had the stomach flu. I was pricked and prodded all afternoon... blood test, shots, the works... I even had to get an I.V. (Thanks Uncle Sonny!)
Mommy and daddy took care of me Friday night and Saturday. By Sunday morning, daddy was throwing up too and mommy followed suit Sunday night. Needless to say, they didn't get to celebrate their anniversary this weekend. SORRY!
Daddy, consider this payback for getting me sick when I was 2 days old! Now we are even.

Week 19 - What?! Where?! What Camera?
This is another significant week.
I can now reach for objects in front of me and play with them. Life will be so much more fun and interesting now that I can consciously interact with my favorite toys. I practiced rolling from stomach to back (from left to right only) some more, and, with a little bit of cheating help from daddy, I can even roll from my back to my stomach. I will start crawling soon enough and make mommy and daddy chase me all over town. Can't wait.
Meanwhile, my boycott against the bottle continued. Daddy kept trying to force it upon me. Nice try daddy. Better luck next week.
On Saturday, I hung out with my buddy Ryan again, but this time I got to hang with Evan too. We all got together at Auntie Cora and Uncle Dan's big new house. Awesome! Evan's play room is so big, colorful, and spiffy. I am so jealous. Mommy, Daddy, when will I get my big playroom?

Week 18 - Happy 1st Father's Day
So much happened this week.
I had my 4 months visit with my doctor on Tuesday. I am now 2 feet tall and 15 lbs 0.8oz. Amazing huh?
I continue to refuse the bottle. Mommy, daddy, grandpa, and grandma all tried to force it upon me, but I held them off easily. Making me feed from a bottle? Who do they think they are? I don't care if mommy started work again this week. NO to the bottle, I say.
On Saturday, I got to hang out with my buddy Ryan again and also met a new friend, Amanda, who is only two weeks older than me. I have met Ryan once before, but this was the first time we were both awake. Even though I am the youngest, I am just as big and heavy as my two friends. They both seem so mellow compared to me.
On Saturday night, I rolled over from my stomach to my back for the first time. I guess those tummy times are finally paying off. I actually like my tummy times now, if you can believe that.
Sunday was, of course, Father's day. Mommy and I got daddy a great gift. It was a picture frame with a cute poem and one of my picture inside. Daddy LOVED IT. Mommy is so sweet and inventive. Anyways, we all went to the Grove to have crepes and to walk around. There were so many people out and about. We went into "American Girl Place", which is an over the top doll shop. Daddy hopes that I never develop interests for this place. We shall see.
Daddy told me that he loves being my dad even though I torture him. He says that to mommy all the time. Not sure what to make of this. Anyways, eat out of my palms daddy...

RaisingCadence censored by the Chinese government !?!
Yahoo: China's censoring Flickr | CNET News.com
You have got to be kidding!!
The reason I created this blog is so that Lewina & I can share pictures of Cadence with friends and family, which includes my mom and dad who are currently living in China. What kind of messed up government censors to the point that prevents grandparents from seeing pictures of their granddaughter?

Week 17 - I believe I can fly...
I finally let my daddy handles me, for half the time anyways. Mommy wasted no time in reaching for the camera for these rare precious moments.
I will be 4 months on Tuesday (6/12) and will see my pediatrician. She will tell me if I am getting a bit too chubby. Daddy hasn't see my neck in weeks.
Anyways, big trouble is brewing. Mommy is going to start work next week, and I have completely forgotten how to feed off of the bottle. Who is going to feed me? How am I going to eat? Find out in the next installment of RaisingCadence.

Week 15 - Memorial Day Weekend
More tummy time this week, and I continued to give daddy a hard time.
Good thing this weekend was a three day weekend. I actually got to spend some quality non-interrupted time with daddy. The extra day off also gave him and mommy a chance to catch up on some much needed sleep.
On Saturday, I played and LAUGHED with daddy for most of the car ride home from Auntie Annie's place in Cerritos. He totally melted.
All in all, it had been a very fun and social weekend. I met Auntie Julie for the first time and spent more time with a bunch of aunties and uncles (Annie, Dan, Cora, Keno, Andy, and Healy) and my friend Evan.

Week 14 - Red eggs and ham
Finally got through a few tummy-times without crying.
It was a very busy weekend. I had my red egg party on Saturday and took my first road trip (to San Diego) on Sunday for my mommy's friend's baby shower. I will soon have a girl playmate who will be littler than me. :-)
I drove my parents crazy this week. I cry when my daddy tries to pick me up, and I make mommy carry me for an hour before sleeping every night. Hehehe... (maniacal chuckles)

Week 13 - Baby Sumo
My nick names keep piling up... Wiggles, Mini-Me, Pink Jedi, Baby Sumo, Cha Siu Bao (translation: BBQ pork bun)... I am going to have some serious identity problem here. Seriously.
Anyways, I turned 3 months old this week. I am really beginning to enjoy my bath time with daddy and mommy.

Week 12 - Pink Jedi
My daddy got sick last weekend so he put himself in self-imposed quarantine. I miss him. Well, to be more accurate, my daddy wishes that I miss him. As for me, I am not sure if I remember what he looks like, having not seen him all weekend.

Week 10 - Two months old
I had my 2 months old check up this week.
I now weigh 11 lbs 10 oz and am 21 inches tall. I have almost double my weight since birth. Impressive, isn't it? I am growing up so fast, I will have my first boyfriend before you are say... WHOA???!!!
On a different note, I have more immunization shots than I can count during my check up. (Not that I can count at all, but I digress.) OUCH!

Week 9 - My first real SMILE
Finally!!! And my daddy managed to capture one of my first smile on camera too.
Mommy and daddy had been waiting 2 months for this day. They were ecstatic. Now they are acting more and more goofy, trying to get me to smile more. I am so embarrassed.
On a separate note, my hair continues to defy gravity.
