Celebration for Angela's one-month-old 彌月之喜

Angela was one-month old on her first Christmas day. She received a lot of gifts from her relatives and Daddy's classmates and coworkers. She is so blessed to have best wishes from many people as well.

Gift from Auntie Beverly 嬰兒背巾

Daddy's classmate, Beverly, flew from Washington D.C. to visit Angela, Daddy and Mommy during Christmas. She brought a pouch as a gift for Angela and hope Daddy and Mommy could carry Angela safely.

Feeding and sleep schedule 建立作息時間

Over the past two weeks, baby Angela was a night cryer as well as a day sleeper. For this reason, Mommy was thinking about how to adjust Angela's schedule by setting up feeding timetable. Here were some changes that Mommy had made.
First, woke Angela up at 8:00 a.m. in the morning and fed her fixed amount of 3 ounce (90c.c.)breastmilk every four hours.
Second, tried not to let Angela sleep after 7:00 p.m.
Third, bathed Angela around 9:00 p.m. and thereafter fed as much breastmilk as Angela could eat.
Four, let Angela sleep between Mommy and Daddy and kept her warm during the night.
Hopefully, these could help Angela establish a regular sleep and feeding timetable in few weeks.

Taking a bath 洗澡囉

Angela is bathed by Grandma every day. However, baby Angela is alway scared and fear whenever she was put in the bath tub. She seems afraid to get drowned and her reaction to bathing is to hold Grandma's sleeve thight and stared at Mommy, just like the picture.

Similac 配方奶

Angela在醫院時，護士都給Angela吃Stmilac配方奶，出院回家後，Daddy特地為Angela準備了相同品牌的配方奶，以補足Mommy奶水不夠時，還能填飽小寶貝的肚子。

通常在半夜時，Angela只要一肚子餓，就會醒來，哭得很大聲，這時，只要打開易開罐的配方奶，約60c.c.(剛好是目前Angela一次的食量)，馬上可以餵食餓肚子的小寶貝，並讓她很快填飽肚子，非常的方便。

Close-up shot at the first week 第一次寫真集

Angela和Mommy回到家已經有１個星期了。雖然大部分的時間Angela都在睡眠中渡過，不過這幾天Houston的天氣相當好，每天接近１０點時早晨陽光就會照射到房間裡，提醒Angela該起牀了。今天趁著Angela吃飽飽，還有精神時，Mommy幫Angela照了幾張特寫的照片，準備email給大家看看Angela滿１週的模樣。

Angela 似乎也知道Mommy在幫她照相，很賣力的配合將眼睛看著鏡頭，雖然大家都知道剛初生的嬰兒視力是很模糊的，不過看到Angela作出很多可愛的動作，還頗有像在拍攝寫真集的樣子呢！
