 I did not want to eat in Wednesday. Mom was so worried. She drove to the school many times and tried to help the teachers. But I still did not want to eat. Finally mom picked me up and we went to the botanical garden! It was fun! Well mom got exhausted 😩 well, she said it was worth it!  Then Dad came to help on Thursday and Friday. Finally I started eating a bit. Here are the strategies they tried: 1 feed when hungry, 2, put a bit on lip let him play and encourage him. He may play a bit or get distracted but that's fine. Eventually he will eat. 3. Less distractions (maybe try to feed him in the other room) 4. Messages us. Dad will come over.  Anyways. Hope next week will be better… Mommy and Daddy were so worried. Growing is difficult. I am a happy boy. So happy that we are a family! I love you mommy and daddy! I recently also like sitting up a bit more. Hmmm, also I like standing up a lot haha. Maybe I will be a sports player? Not sure haha  

 Well, I did not realize that “time flies” is true! I started my first day of school at ECA on Wednesday Aug 18th. I was not very used to it so I cried a lot… and did not eat much. Today mom watched me from webcam a d saw me cried more than 10 mins. She felt so bad and cried a lot too:(. In the afternoon I went to my 4 month pediatrician visit. Mr Gustafson said I am at 98th percentile in terms of weight and height. 8.83kg /19pounds 7 oz, 68.5cm/27inches

 Thanks to everyone’s help, mommy was not sick this week. It was a bit stressful but we also solved many issues, especially dad did. He was able to finalize the sale of the old house. We are finally free! Maybe we will get a new place to stay too. So excited. Of course it  won’t be easy as the house market is very hot right now. We will see. Mommy says I look like a giant baby balloon! What do you think? I like my nanny Lina! She is very energetic:) we always have a lot of fun! Saturday we went over to Elizabeth and Jon’s home. Daddy played Magic the gathering with teenagers. Mommy had good time with Elizabeth and Jon. They are her best friends in Seattle. She felt very sad… Elizabeth’s birthday is Aug 11 but she won’t have time to celebrate so mommy made her a card in advance…. Well… departure is not avoidable. So do many things in life… I think I will understand more when I grow a bit bigger… don’t cry mommy! Oh I also visited the Mox for the first time, game shop! I am my daddy’s bo
