1 Month old today

I'm 1 month old today. Only my maternal grandmother bought me a present. It's a cloth book shaped like a puppy.

Busy 1st month. Unpacking, getting to know people, hooking up the cable. But I think I'm finally getting settled in.

In any case, I know some people are just looking for pics but since I've been fussy the past couple of days, and none of the pics are any good, here are some other pics from the past 10 days.

This is how I looked 8 days ago, when I was getting "kicky" and mommy decided to swaddle me.



I look like a burrito. Incidentally, mommy had daddy go drive and find a place for some mexican food.

Here I am about 9 days ago.



And another one from the same night.



And here's another one from today just for my daddy who still like to poke me while I'm sleeping. It's a little blurry but my daddy stopped poking me in the butt when I'm sleeping.

Jack versus Jack Daddy

So daddy has been VERY annoying recently. He's been poking me in the cheeks while I sleep, poking me in the butt while I feed, and tickling me whenever I'm awake. It's time to consider taking the old man down.

I just got back from the doctor and I'm now a strapping 19 inches and 5 lbs 11.5 ounces now.

Here are some of the other measurements:

My foot versus daddy's foot:



He's got the size, but at least i don't have corns or callouses.

My hand versus daddy's hand.



He's got me there.

And here's his hand versus my head.



So the odds look stacked against me. But I have a secret weapon. This handsome bloke is my partner and does everything I do in reverse:



The two of us should teach my daddy to stop bothering me while I get my sleep.

Bath time

Well I've had it this time. When mommy wasn't in the room, daddy blasted some gas right at me. He said it was an "accident" but he was guffawing like crazy so I have to assume he did it on purpose. So I decided to pee everywhere while he was changing my diaper. Mommy was not amused and decreed that it was "bath time". The thing is, since I still have my umbilical cord remnants, I can't get it wet, so bath time, is basically me getting a sponge bath.

First they strip me down and sponge me down in my personal bath tub.



Then they have to wash my hair cause somehow, I got pee everywhere.



Then they put me in my duck towel to dry off.



Finally, back into fresh clothes, and then I ruin the whole shower, by slobbering over my fist as soon as the last button is buttoned up.

Packing on the ounces

I went to the pediatrician today and I now weigh 5 lbs 4 ounces. For those interested on how to become such a weight gaining beefcake, follow my regiment.

Eat between 0.5-1.5 ounces of breast milk every 2-3 hours.

Wake up at 2 AM and force my mommy and daddy to play with me in the dead of the night.

Do my dance

Exercise.

Get some good sleep

What do I do for fun?

So people say I'm cute, but I know that being cute only gets you so far. I need to continually add to my act.

So my first new act was my pee-pee dodge act. Where as you try to change my diaper, I try to squirt on you. I got my mommy several times, but my daddy is too quick.

My mommy also puts a pee-pee teepee on me now so that act should be over. There's a picture of this but mommy doesn't want me to hate them for posting that picture when I'm older.

So now that they've tired of my squirting act, I present to you, my first dance number.



I'm dancing to "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller and you can purchase it here.

Tiring weekend

So uncle Tony and auntie Hanna came to visit me this weekend, but after all the doctor appointments and lactation nurses, I just needed to relax and rest this weekend.

Here's me and daddy chillin'



Then we got tired and took a nap.



And then my mommy tried to take pictures and I tried to make funny faces in each of them.








I finally gave my mommy a decent picture after giving her trouble all day

Uncle Tony and Auntie Hanna

So I finally met uncle Tony today. He didn't come to visit me at the hospital cause he was sick and wouldn't wash his hands.

Here's him and my auntie Hanna who came to visit me at the hospital.

Goodnight Mommy

Busy day. Lactation consultant, pediatrician, playing on play mat, and learned how to feed from a breast. I'm pooped and just want to go to sleep.


The music is "Goodnight" by Laurie Berkner and you can find it over at the iTunes music store here.

I'm home

So the doctors and nurses at NYU Langone Medical Center said that I was fine and I went home with mommy and daddy today. Here are some pics of me going home.

Here I am in my carseat.



And here's a closeup with a blanket up around my neck.

I can eat from a bottle now

Well it's been a couple of days now since I was born. Basically I've been sleeping a lot. The doctor says I could use a tan and that my bilirubin level's are a bit high so I've been undergoing some photo therapy.

But that's nothing major say the doctors. I've been trying to learn how to eat now. Yesterday, my mommy and daddy came to feed me but I was too tired and cranky to eat. Here are some pics of that.

But today, they came at noon and I WAS HUNGRY. Here you can see that I wanted some yummy milk.

Then I wanted to wave like a maniac at daddy.

Then mommy fed me by bottle because I don't know how to suckle yet.

Then I ate so fast I had the hiccups and daddy has the video. He'll post the video soon but we had to stop eating for about 15 minutes as I tried to get over the hiccups.

Then mommy burped me.

It was a long day so I needed to rest after that but it was a good day.

Jackson Sejoon Park

Well I couldn't wait. I know I scared and made my parents anxious, but on July 30th at 12:48 AM, I came into the world, screaming and crying at 4 lbs 15.3 ounces and 18 inches long.

Since I came a bit early, my parents didn't have a name ready, but I look like a Jack so my name is Jackson Sejoon Park but call me Jack or Sejoon.

In any case, here's some other pictures
