The day I was born

Hello world. I came into this world on July 23, 2008 at approximately 5:15 PM. I was born at Hoag Hospital during a beautiful and sunny day at Newport Beach, California. My mommy had a hard time giving birth to me because I was a big boy. I weighed in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 and a half inches long. I was so happy to be finally out of my mommy's tummy. It was hard getting out of there though - it was a very tiny hole and I had to squeeze right out. The doctor had to suction my head out, which is not really a good way to enter the world. The suction hurt my little head and I had a cone head for awhile - but my mommy reassures me that my head will come back to normal in just a few days, because babies have a soft head so it shouldn't be a problem. I still cried out loud though - because it hurt. My grandpa Jerry said that I cry like a cat. However, Auntie Ging said I cry like a lion. I think I like lion better than a cat! Anyways, I am excited to be out. I can't really see yet, but I can hear voices. I know I have grandpas and grandmas, and aunties and uncles - who are all so excited to just hold me, and play with me, and hold me - even though I don't really do much yet other than sleep and pout. Yeah, I pout - I don't know why I just do.

I have been feeding a lot on my poor mommy, who has to get up every hour to feed me. She has been breastfeeding me because the doctor said this is the healthiest way for a baby to grow.

Until next time world. Check out my pictures when I was only an hour old.
