Waiting at the gate already. Going through customs is definitely easier this time round. Liam attracted a bit of attention with his fetching paper boy hat. The customs agent paged two people to come over and get a look at him. It was funny. In a couple of hours we'll be in New York. First family trip go!

Oh wait, Liam need to take a nap first.

With all the Netflix buzz on the news, I took the bait and signed up for the free month trial.  I was really surprised with the quality they pipe down. I have it set on standard mode and I'm pretty content with it. I could go HD but the bandwidth and added time is meh. I'm a pretty impatient guy.

Cost is quite affordable too. I used to pay 20 bucks ( Read more... )

After trying out several different bottle systems, Liam seemed to have settled on the Playtex drop-in with the latex nipple. He wants nothing to do with silicone ones. We also have to hold the bottle in a position which simulates regular feeding.

Made it with a few days to spare. Julie's accounting class starts on Tuesday. In a few weeks we'll ( Read more... )

As of Thursday, Liam can hold himself up unassisted in a sitting position. He tends to lean a bit forward though. But he seems to entertain himself with his wriggling toes.

On awesome news, Julie learned how to bake pies. I came home to a nice blueberry pie last Friday all made from scratch. It was really good, I would have eaten it all except Julie ( Read more... )

Just heard that Simon Marcus from my old gym won a gold medal in the Sport Accord Combat games in Beijing.  It's Ajan Suchart's dream to see Thai boxing as part of the olympic games. Even better if one of his students was to bring home the gold. Can't believe it's so close, I'm so excited.

Baby brat is still winning. He decided to wear his milk yesterday. So now we are changing tactics; bought a different bottle and a sippy cup. We'll see how either fares tonight.

I had neglected to mention that we have already started introducing solids. He's only had a taste of avocado and bananas. He really likes bananas. Julie will be giving him a ( Read more... )

Day three was more of the same. Liam started associating the sitting position I would put him in with the bottle. He would freak out before I even start. 45 mins later Julie took over and Liam gave me the look of disgust. I said "what, you want me to leave?". He didn't want me sitting beside them.

Day four was a breakthrough. He woke from his nap by ( Read more... )

Julie is planning on taking some evening classes next month. So we've decided to start introducing the bottle back into his feeding schedule. Now that Liam is a bit more aware of choices, he's decided that he doesn't like the bottle.

Saturday night was a struggle. But he was very hungry and I was able to wait him out. Sunday night was worse. He ( Read more... )

Two days worth of biking to work clocked in at 52kms! Had to drop off the car in the shop. As an alternative, I decided to bike to work rather than taking transit. Because of transfers and waiting time, it would take an hour and a half one way. I can bike it in 45 mins, which is just 15 more minutes than regular driving.

One thing about biking ( Read more... )

I'm on one and it's working backwards. Can't explain how I'm gaining weight as I cut back on food. Hopefully it's all water.

Knee and ankle sprains have put my running on hold. So I'm doing mostly light quick weight workout and some bag work. On a good note my reflexes are as sharp as ever. I'm glad I still haven't lost that as it balances out my ( Read more... )
