Eczema

Andrew has really bad Eczema, and he's constantly scratching himself due to itchness. Despite of this unpleasant condition, Andrew has really good spirit and people always compliment what a happy baby he is.

It's so much harder on parents, I can assure you that. We've seen three different doctors, and have enough medical supplies that we can open our own pharmacy. Items listed below are currently in our inventory (not to mention the ones we tossed away):

Moisturizers -- Cetaphil lotion, Aquaphor, Creamy Vaseline, Vaseline, Vanicream
Cleanser -- Johnson's, Aveeno, Cetaphil, Dove Unscented
Shampoo -- Neutrogena T-Gel
Baby Oils -- Burt's Bees, Safeway Select
Medication -- Elidel, Kenelog, .5% Hydrocortisone, 2.5% Hydrocortisone, Children's Benadryl
Detergent -- Kirkland No dye, no perfume, no color (smells really bad!)

We even encountered a parent from our daycare who wants to sell us some "natural food" which may work wonders and cure all illnesses. We're just hoping someday he'll grow out of it!

Lazy boy

Andrew is such a lazy boy! He just discovered a way to feed himself without holding the bottle! See for yourself with a 12 second video clip, and you can see he's quite proud of himself!

Andrew and Ms. Mermaid

Here's Andrew with Ms. Karen, his primary teacher. Ms. Karen has a Master degree in Education, and she's very loving and caring. We feel so fortunate to have Ms. Karen taking care of Andrew while we're at work!

Mommy's little Tigger

Andrew's daycare had a "Fall Festival" on Thursday, I felt like Stephen and I were attending his PTA meeting. I'm sure there will be more to come, and hopefully Andrew will have a beautiful scorecard.

The Tigger song

The most wonderful thing about Tiggers,
is Tiggers are wonderful things.
Their tops are made out of rubber,
their bottoms are made out of springs.
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is,
I'm the only one.
Oh, III'm the only one!

Oh, the wonderful thing about Tiggers is,
Tiggers are wonderful chaps.
They're loaded with vim and vigor.
They love to leap in your lap.
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is ...
III'm the only one!

Look at my hat!

Don't you laugh at me, my hat keeps me warm in a snowy day!

Sitting up!

Andrew begins to learn to sit up on his own with help of his boppy. And he enjoys reading his animal book - gift from auntie Kitty.

Breakin' it in

Our old sofa was cozy for two, but a bit crowded now that Kathlyn and I have the third wheel all the time... So it was moved to fill in the living room, and we got a new sofa set for the family room. Now there's room for everyone to lounge! Here's Andrew, the first butt to touch the new sofa, breaking it in!
