Bad Egg

See all these presents?

I think half of them are for Eggy alone. My sister went a little overboard, no?

Anyway, now that Eggy's starting to crawl, she's able to get into more mischief. I guess she doesn't care if Santa's watching.

Here Comes Trouble

My early Christmas gift from Eggy

So exciting!

Day with Daddy

I forgot to post this video from last week.

Last Saturday, I was pretty much out all day. I had to work in the day. Then, I had dinner with friends in the evening. That meant Eggy got to spend the whole day with Eggy appah. All the fun that I missed out on....

LOL! I wish I could post the video in a larger format so you could see the red ring she got around her face. hahahahaha

Friday night

Most people we know are probably out tonight. You know, doing things that young carefree people do, partying or whatever. Our idea of a good time?

Giving Eggy a new hairstyle! Here she is, looking "fierce." Watch out, Eggy is ready to be America's Next Top Model!

Oh yeah, we're so wild and crazy.

Everything but

crawling.

Instead, she slides backwards on her tummy, scoots on her butt, or rolls over.

One time, she ended up underneath the coffee table! I should attach a mop to her stomach so she could clean the floors for me. Child labor!

Bah humbug!

We took Eggy to see Santa. She was great, even waiting in the hour long line, until...

It took her about half a minute to realize that she didn't like Santa.

I guess someone's on the naughty list.

Santa's helper elf lady was telling us that with young kids, the best pictures are usually the first ones before they freak out. They also let you use your own camera. So we got a couple okay ones but not super great. It's confusing to have a bunch of people yelling your name while some strange fat man is holding you. Once Eggy started crying, they immediately stopped but I told Eggy appah, "Keep going!!"

EA: "But she's crying."

Me: "It's okay! Keep going!!!"

haha, mommy is so mean. She cried for like 3 seconds until I got her and there were no real tears so please do not call Child Protective Services on me.

Later, I took her on the carousel. They give you a ticket for a free ride if you take a picture with Santa. I wasn't sure how she'd handle it but she was pretty good. No crying this time.

Happy 8 Months!

This post is late because I had to go through a bunch of videos.

It's getting harder to take these monthly pictures because she gets distracted and keeps trying to grab the "months" sign. I might have to come up with something else.

Can you believe Eggy is 8 months already? This past month has probably been my favorite so far. She's so much fun and she's doing all kinds of things.

Okay, so she's not crawling yet but she's getting close. She rocks back and forth on her hands and knees. Sometimes, she ends up scooting backwards. After a while, she gets mad that she's not going anywhere. haha It's hard to get that potbelly off the ground, huh Eggy?

But she can...

give you five

do jamjam (open and close her hand)

do doridori (shake her head)

clap her hands kinda

drink from a straw if I hold it for her

And when you say "good girl!" she gets all proud. Of course, she only does these things when she feels like it.

She'll also dance when she hears music. I think she likes the Black Eyed Peas.

Eggy will make these funny faces where she wrinkles her nose and her eyes get all chinky. And when you laugh, she does it again and again and laughs with you. Her laugh is funny too because it's like she lets out her laugh one at a time. Yeah, she's stingy with her laughs.

She likes paper. Or more specifically, Eggy likes to rip paper. Sometimes, she tries to rip the paper over her head which is funny to see because her arms are too short and/or her head is too big so her cheeks get all squished.

Forget toys for Christmas, I'll just give her the wrapping paper.

In addition to her two bottom teeth, she has another one coming in at the top. I think it's her left lateral incisor which is weird because I think the central incisors are supposed to come in first.

Eggy went from three naps to two naps a day. It went pretty smoothly. She still wakes up a couple times at night though. Her best nights are sleeping 7-8 hours straight before she wakes up to feed. Too bad those 8 hours are from 8pm-3/4am. Oh well, I'll take it. It beats those newborn nights when she'd wake up every 2-3 hours for sure.

We added peas and yogurt to her diet. Not her favorites but she'll eat it. Most of it.

Even with all this fun, she can still be a little punk ass. If I take something away from her, she gets mad and yells/cries. She's going to be a bully on the playground, I just know it.

Or she'll be playing fine with someone, like my mom, but as soon as she sees me, she starts whining for me.

I don't know whether to be flattered or annoyed. One day, I'll be the one whining for her to hang out with me so I should just shut up and enjoy it while it lasts.
