I have not updated my blog for a very long time because life got a little busy. In these few months, we traveled to several places from the north to the south of the United States and across the ocean. New York and Toronto are covered under snow but we are in the forever green Taiwan! I am loving the food here. There will always be food on the streets in this part of Taiwan we are staying! 

On the other hand, my baby is staying in Canada with our parents. He has grown so much and is almost walking by himself! He is loving his kids shows on TV and playing with car toys! I miss him so much! His first birthday is coming up soon! I can't wait to celebrate his first with him! He is a happy baby! He is always smiling! 👶 Here goes some pictures of this month! 💓💓

Sociable and adorable street pup.

A lot of food and people in the night market!

In the meantime, my baby is becoming an artist!

It's crazy how time passes by so fast! He is officially 8-month-old! I am so proud to be his mom! Let's quickly summarize his past fun two months!

• He loves to make music, dance, and play on the computer! 

Making music!

Dancing to the music!

Computers are amusing!

• He traveled to the Midwest once again, but this time with the whole family. While in the hotel, he tried out the swimming pool. He loved the little water park. He also observed how I swam. He later copied me using his little legs to kick in the water. Super cute! Of course, on the road, we traveled through some big cities of the Midwest! His granny said he left his smell aka his diaper in every major city of the Midwest!

• He is now on solid food. He hates baby food, but loves real food! He loves his spaghetti, plums, oranges, strawberries, scrambled eggs, meat balls, and oh yes, bananas! Every time when he eats these, he puts a big smile on his face!

This smile is priceless!

B A N A N A!

• On his first day of being a 7-month-old baby, he called me mama. OMG. That was precious. His voice and his calls immediately melt my heart. I could not stop from smiling. I was way too happy!

MAMA MA MA!

• He also loves his weekend adventures with mommy and daddy!

My baby Kieran is officially 6-month-old today. He currently weighs 21 lbs! He has many first times in these wonderful six months of his life! Let me highlight some milestones!

- He is quite a traveler. He has traveled through 66% of the American states and he is still working on it. His favorite state so far is probably Florida (his daddy's favorite, too)!  He has experienced a Polar Vortex in the Mid-West at the beginning of 2019 and saw sun dogs! He has seen palm trees and beach waves in Florida!

Happy family in Florida!

- He experienced the heat and a trip to the ER in McAllen, TX.  This was when he took his first flight to Texas! He did a good job and had fun on the terminal trams.




- He had his first party at our house. Auntie and uncles traveled all the way from Canada to visit Kieran. He also got some Dr. Seuss books and an NSAS space suit! Just a few weeks later, he joined an Indian baby shower party!


- He also went camping and played on the beach for the first time! That was also his first time crossing the border to Canada. He had a lot of Canadian uncles and aunties to hold him on the camp site. He was so spoiled. He did not get a single mosquito bite. Thanks to me (I was massacred by them)!



- Skill-wise, he is able to sit by himself. He likes to talk to us even though we don't understand his baby language. He can eat solid food now. So proud of him that he is able to feed himself. He also loves to jump in his jumper.
- In daycare, he loves to play with other babies. They played with mud together on Mud Day! Since they share their toys, they share their viruses. Kieran had his first fever and first ear infection on the first day of being a six-month-old baby.


- Most importantly, his bottom teeth are coming out! He is growing fast!

I went back to work after 6 weeks and lucky enough for us, there was a spot for Kieran at the daycare right next to my work. I get to see him during lunchtime! Oh, he loves the daycare! He gets to meet new faces and socialize with other babies. He is always smiling, dancing, and singing! He is such a happy baby! He also did some painting at the daycare, and he is talented! All the teachers there adore him very much. He is definitely enjoying the second month of his life. 

I am a superman! Watch out!

Here is my masterpiece!

I love talking to myself in the mirror!

I love grocery shopping with mama!

I slept through my first time out at the daycare!

One happy gator!!

So cold.........

Driving through Omaha, NE. What L Street?

Heading into Kansas City! Good weather!

Here is the Walmart Museum in Bentonville, AR.

Diaper, feed, and travel! Life is too good!

After this trip, I am one-month-old!!!

My baby used to be 100% nocturnal! That meant no sleep for me at all during night time. I had to try to open up my eyes without falling asleep to feed him and change his diaper. His digestive system was rapid at digesting. One bit of milk immediately turned into pee and poop. I am officially a diaper expert and knows exactly when to change his diaper without being sprayed.

Nowadays, in the morning when he is fully awake, I put on some classical lullabies for him to listen. Surprisingly, he loves music a lot! He becomes calmer and more relaxed. I also do activities with him such as the baby tummy exercise. He is already on his way to crawl! We have a super awesome monkey seat for him. He loves to dance through the songs from the monkey seat. I am so proud to be his mom. All these activities eventually tire him out. Now, he wakes up twice in the night. It is so awesome that baby Kieran cooperates with us. He is such a sweetheart.

Today was his first time to go offroading in the blizzard and dining out with us. He was surprisingly behaving! He loved riding in our F150 like he used to in my belly. After we came home, he gave me a big smile! He was such a happy and adventurous baby!

Yes! Kieran was dining with us in the restaurant!

New York State had gone mad with the snow!

Our adventure vehicle was covered with snow!
