Cheeky girl...

Trying to put on her shoes... no she can't pull it off just yet.

Living with Sophie

She's such a big girl now, but having the girl around does slow down time a little and helps take my mind off work. She's recently been having some bad sleeping habits and waking up late nights thinking it was already morning.

Not sure how many times she woke up last night, but around 1-2am she thought it was morning and wanted to brush her teeth - I think we only got her to sleep after an hour. I got up around 6am today when Sophie did, she wanted to get up and crawl around - after showing her the sights outside the window we went back to her pallet and while I wanted to sleep again, she was intent on brushing her teeth.

So we did that and cleaned up, then went outside to her play area and started on her music books. I made her some bread and jam for breakfast and she ate while moving and playing around. Then later after her breakfast she found her shoes and wanted to put them on, she walked for a while before deciding it's faster to crawl (as it always happens) and started to get on the floor again.

Usually I get to sleep in and her mom will be doing all of this, but once in awhile it's daddy's turn. Anyway it's good to be able to play with her a little in the morning before the daily commute. After I got dressed, we had a group hug and she waved me off... typical morning...

Sophia's 1st Birthday

The baby at one year, time flies...

Sophia pictures...

Well that certainly was a long hiatus from the blogosphere. Thought I'd start the ball rolling with new Sophia pics. She's all big now and trying to walk...

These were taken some months back, so she's almost a year old now and can't fit into these clothes anymore. Since then I've been busy at work, went to Bali with the family and trying to come home early enough before the rascal goes to bed.

Eating

Sophie Pics

I've realised that I missed a couple of months in the video recording of Sophia. While going through the old tapes and editing them, seems we missed her during most of her 4th month as well as 6th months. When I continue next week she's already going to be 7 months old.

Time flies, she changes so much. Here's another one of my favourite pics... such a cutie, but notice the one big eye and one small eye...

Baby

Yes I do miss her a lot...

Happy New Year!

Both new years have passed already, and it's been awhile since we had an update. So here's a newer picture of the rascal, she's almost 7 months now. Rainbow Connection below is the song I sing to her to put her to sleep... mom has a more varied repertoire. I'm stuck with this and a handful of oldies.

She's just cute... loves her mattress sleeping area! And she's beginning to complain from the teething experience. The picture is a few weeks old though...

Family Pic

Latest picture taken last weekend after dinner. She's really intent on eating stuff.

Girls...

The girls at home...

Oh by the way...

Oh if you need a reminder... her site is www.sophiameiyin.com

I'll put a link on the side bar...

Updates

Sophia's website has been updated with a bunch of new pictures, not that much but they are quite recent. She has changed quite a bit but still looks like a boy. Apparently her mom also was like that when she was a baby, so we know where that came from...

Still have so much to do with that website, want to move it to another location because the godaddy server is just too slow with the update tools. Things to do include:

1. Edit her videos! We've got 2.5 hours of tape on her, but I haven't gotten around to editing it.
2. Move the website to someplace easier to access and faster too. Wish I know html/xml then at least easier to build the website.

But easier said than done since most of my free time has been in crysis. Those in the know, know what I mean. I've got to end the crysis before I can do anything else without getting distracted.

Anyway, recently I bought a kickass PC - it's an Intel Quad Core, 2 GB ram, 2 hard drives including a super fast Raptor and an 8800GT video card. Also got a 22 inch flatron monitor... muahaha. It's huge but amazingly quiet. But I made the mistake of running Windows Vista.

To all who are contemplating to buy a new PC, do NOT, and I repeat DO NOT buy Windows Vista, it is the most useless piece of crap that has ever been produced by Microsoft... ok it's not as bad as Windows ME... but still pretty useless. I went and bought the Ultimate version... sigh.. waste of money seriously because I'm actually seriously thinking about stepping back to XP.

If you think Vista will be better after Service Pack 1, well think again, Microdicks have just announced the extension of XP until I think 31 Jan 2008 and releasing SP 3 for XP. What's worse is that beta tests of the two show that XP with SP3 still kicks Vista's fat ass even with SP1, so there... Don't buy Vista... at least not yet... wait until end of next year, at least...

I bought Vista for DX10- thinking I'd see some major differences. But noooo.. nada, almost the same as DX9c. In fact I games run slower on Vista. Stoopid...

Otherwise things have been okay, been going back to KL almost every weekend. I think I missed 1 or 2 only. Plus this coming weekend I'm not heading back so that makes it 3 times only. Not a bad record... it's tiring, but it's hard not to go back when you've got this face...

waiting for you...

Lazy Daddy

I'm lazy yup.

Been meaning to update Sophie's blog lately but between work, surfing the web and playing games I've kinda put it off for a while. All the time I've also been resisting the temptation of putting more of her pics on my site since I want to keep this me. Not her. But alas, she's too cute to resist, and since blogger is so damn addictively easy to use trying to learn a new one like wordpress or making my own at her URL is getting to be a handful and too much of a hassle.

So here are some new pics:

The pics are about a week old I think. She's found her tongue and discovered her hands and feet recently. So the grabbing and tongue wagging has begun. Need to spend some quality time understanding the make of Wordpress and try again to get into the habit of posting her stuff there.

Sophie... almost 3 months

Fussy Girl

Sophie's getting chubbier by the day... should be around 5 kilos now. Getting fussy and not wanting to sleep or eat properly! But mom's managing I suppose... wish I was there...

This picture actually won 1st prize at a competition.
