weekly update...

hey all,
sorry, its been a while since i last blogged. my sister-in-law was here from japan and my weekends were booked, (also she was staying in the spare room where the computer is at so it was hard to blog).

i bought a small 'flash camcorder' so i can record videos of 'zuki and post them on my blog. they're getting popular and its an easy way to record video and upload them on the 'net. video is recorded on a memory stick and can be uploaded to youtube or any other site with a push of a button. i thought i could also burn dvds and send them to my overseas in-laws (besides, what am i going to do with a shoe box full of video tapes which i'll only watch once).

Sony 'Webbie HD' MHS-CM1

originally i wanted the orange one and i was put on a waiting list since they're brand new (just announced at this year's CES). the orange one came in a few days but i wasn't sure of the quality, since they're so new, so i decided to wait (and let the one i had 'on hold' go). but it seems they're very popular, and reviews and video samples started to pop up on the 'net. for the price (w/my discount) and the quality, its a hard deal to beat. so i went back into the store to get the orange one but they were already sold out. and the sales person said there's a mistake with the price and it should be higher, but since its listed lower in the system, they would have to honor the lower price. the store did not know when the orange one would come in and the price could go higher any day, so my best bet would to buy one that day. so i ended up getting the purple one (dang, i wish i had the orange one).

too cute...

not being a proud father or anything, but 'zuki is pretty cute. when we go out grocery shopping or to the mall, we always get looks and comments on how cute she is. people (usually women) would come to us and talk to 'zuki and comment on how cute she is and how they love her hair.
when my sister-in-law was here, we went to the getty's museum. at times security, museum workers, and strangers would come up to us and tell us how cute she is and how they love her hair. when we were in the popular room with the van goughs and monets, a small crowd started surrounding us, talking to the baby and telling us how beautiful she is.
so we decided we better bank on this before she gets hit with the ugly stick. we're trying to look for a baby modeling agent so maybe 'zuki can get some photo work and buy daddy some new PS3 games...or i suppose some college money.

label chewer...

'zuki has 2 teeth and loves to stick things in her mouth. she loves to chew and suck on the labels on blankets, toys, etc.

so we found out that there is a company that makes toys and blankets with lots of labels sewn into them, so the baby can chew and suck to her hearts desire.

but wouldn't you know it, when we gave the ball with the tons labels to her, she went straight for the plain white manufacturing label, not the colorful ones that's intended to be sucked/chewed on. and after she was done sucking/drooling on the ball, the ball was soaked with baby spit, like a sponge...eww.
