Picking toys for Lauren
As all you parents know, there are many types and brands of toys on the market, it’s really hard to find the toys that offers the best Return On Investment (ROI), both monetarily and in terms of time spent playing.
From the books that I’ve been reading, it seems to me that a good toy should [...]

Buy baby books from Amazon.com’s 4-for-3 sale
Reading to a child since early infancy has been shown to increase the child affinity toward books and later toward learning through reading.
JY and I decided to start reading to Lauren early, actually we have already read her some Chinese children’s book in the past few days. However, the Chinese book didn’t not rhyme, [...]

妞妞四周大了
妞妞四周大了，今天我和JY带妞妞去看医生。
医生检查了妞妞的心，肺，鼻子，耳朵，眼睛和四肢，发现她一切正常。
她现在重量达到九磅一盎司，比出生时重了三十八盎司，在50% percentile. 高度是21。25英寸，也是50% percentile。
这次见医生我和JY都去了。因为我不久后就要上班了，下次JY负责带妞妞去，需要认认路。
我发现其实我们的儿科医生不是向他告诉我们的那么准时。 今天我们约的九点，八点四十五分就到了。可是医生直到九点二十分才到。不过我们非常喜欢这个医生，他非常和蔼，从来都不介意花时间来回答我们的问题。我们每次看医生时都会有一大堆问题，每次我们的问题都达到了详细的答复。
当初我和JY见了三个不同医生，才决定选他的。如果你们正在找儿科医生，又住在三藩市东湾，在留言部分留下你们的联系方法，我会把他的名字电邮给你。
我们唯一觉得有点不适应的地方就是每次去妞妞都要脱精光，而诊所里又不是很热，我们总是怕妞妞着凉。
妞妞又有新照片了，像往常一样，只要点击右面的“Lauren’s Photos 妞妞所有照片”的连接就可以看到。

Lauren eats a lot
Lauren’s almost four weeks old.
I never imagined an infant can eat so much.
Since JY pumps her milk, we were able to track how much Lauren eats each time, and have been tracking her total milk consumption.
Here is a diagram that shows Lauren’s eating pattern:
As you can see, she’s been steadily increasing her milk consumption. [...]

Book Review: Freakonomics
By now, I’d imagine most people with any interest in books have heard of Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
I forgot where I heard about it initially, but couldn’t be happier that I found it.
I’m a scientist by training, have a Computer Science and Engineering degree from [...]

Lauren’s doing well
It’s been a hectic week so far.
I brought Lauren to a dermatologist’s office on Monday 01/30 to have a birthmark on her neck checked out. It turned out to be nothing, the dermatologist told me that if I want it removed, I should do that later, when Lauren’s older, and only if it [...]
