新西班牙文名字

小羊咩還沒有中文名，卻已有了西班牙文名字，就是 -- 

Burrito!

Bur - ri -to, 譯自我們最近為他起的中文小名

 "啤梨頭" 

(粵語諧音)

因為他現在的頭型像顆啤梨，哈哈!
而且 Uncle Jackson 說看到我 swaddle 小羊咩時，
像包 burrito XD

（羊爸比羊媽咪實在太壞了，居然這樣子取笑自己的小孩 XP)

iPhone 18 條約

今天在新聞看到的。
這媽媽在給他 13 歲的兒子一台新 iPhone 以前先要他簽下這 18 條約。
寫得太好了，先記在這，說不定以後會有用。

Dear Gregory

Merry Christmas! You are now the proud owner of an iPhone. Hot Damn! You are a good & responsible 13 year old boy and you deserve this gift. But with the acceptance of this present comes rules and regulations. Please read through the following contract. I hope that you understand it is my job to raise you into a well rounded, healthy young man that can function in the world and coexist with technology, not be ruled by it. Failure to comply with the following list will result in termination of your iPhone ownership.

I love you madly & look forward to sharing several million text messages with you in the days to come.

1. It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning it to you. Aren't I the greatest?

2. I will always know the password.

3. If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello, use your manners. Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads "Mom" or "Dad". Not ever.

4. Hand the phone to one of your parents promptly at 7:30pm every school night & every weekend night at 9:00pm. It will be shut off for the night and turned on again at 7:30am. If you would not make a call to someone's land line, wherein their parents may answer first, then do not call or text. Listen to those instincts and respect other families like we would like to be respected.

5. It does not go to school with you. Have a conversation with the people you text in person. It's a life skill. *Half days, field trips and after school activities will require special consideration.

6. If it falls into the toilet, smashes on the ground, or vanishes into thin air, you are responsible for the replacement costs or repairs. Mow a lawn, babysit, stash some birthday money. It will happen, you should be prepared.

7. Do not use this technology to lie, fool, or deceive another human being. Do not involve yourself in conversations that are hurtful to others. Be a good friend first or stay the hell out of the crossfire.

8. Do not text, email, or say anything through this device you would not say in person.

9. Do not text, email, or say anything to someone that you would not say out loud with their parents in the room. Censor yourself.

10. No porn. Search the web for information you would openly share with me. If you have a question about anything, ask a person ? preferably me or your father.

11. Turn it off, silence it, put it away in public. Especially in a restaurant, at the movies, or while speaking with another human being. You are not a rude person; do not allow the iPhone to change that.

12. Do not send or receive pictures of your private parts or anyone else's private parts. Don't laugh. Someday you will be tempted to do this despite your high intelligence. It is risky and could ruin your teenage/college/adult life. It is always a bad idea. Cyberspace is vast and more powerful than you. And it is hard to make anything of this magnitude disappear -- including a bad reputation.

13. Don't take a zillion pictures and videos. There is no need to document everything. Live your experiences. They will be stored in your memory for eternity.

14. Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision. It is not alive or an extension of you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than FOMO -- fear of missing out.

15. Download music that is new or classic or different than the millions of your peers that listen to the same exact stuff. Your generation has access to music like never before in history. Take advantage of that gift. Expand your horizons.

16. Play a game with words or puzzles or brain teasers every now and then.

17. Keep your eyes up. See the world happening around you. Stare out a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk. Talk to a stranger. Wonder without googling.

18. You will mess up. I will take away your phone. We will sit down and talk about it. We will start over again. You & I, we are always learning. I am on your team. We are in this together.

It is my hope that you can agree to these terms. Most of the lessons listed here do not just apply to the iPhone, but to life. You are growing up in a fast and ever changing world. It is exciting and enticing. Keep it simple every chance you get. Trust your powerful mind and giant heart above any machine. I love you. I hope you enjoy your awesome new iPhone. Merry Christmas!

Burping funny video

小羊咩表情多多，尤其是喝飽奶掃風時。

以下是替他掃風時的精華片段:

[1W]

香港有 "金牌大風" 娛樂有限公司，

我們家有 "金牌掃風"  ^ ^

聖誕快樂！

感謝耶穌為我們出生。

因有一嬰孩為我們而生；

有一子賜給我們。

政權必擔在他的肩頭上；

他名稱為「奇妙策士、全能的上帝、永在的父、和平的君」。 

(以賽亞書 9:6)

耶穌，我們愛袮！

今年小羊咩也趕來和我們一起慶祝聖誕節。

小羊家祝大家

聖誕快樂！

[1D]

懷裡的愛子

12/18/12，醫院最後一天
清晨，抱著小羊咩，看著他在我懷裡安睡時，我想起這節經文:

「這是我的愛子，我所喜悅的。」(太 3:17)

我算什麼，天父竟讓祂懷裡所愛的獨生子耶穌基督替我死？！
要是要我把我的小羊咩替 Newtown, Connecticut 那殺人狂死？NO WAY! !

謝謝天父，袮怎麽這麼愛我？ //淚

基督為我死，我要為祂活

小羊咩出生全記錄

12/15/12 
7:15pm 到達醫院，準備催生

8:00pm 第一次口服催生藥，子宮頸只開了一隻手指不到

12/16/12
12:00am 沒什麼動靜，第二次口服催生藥，估計要晚上才生

2:00am 加點滴和 IV 催生藥

2:30am 開始輕微陣痛

3:00am 劇烈陣痛，叫護士

3:15am 護士來(其實是碰巧儀器表沒紙，要不然等好久都沒人來），check,  子宮頸已開了 7cm!  羊水破了，也出血，問我們是要自然生嗎？為什麼還沒打 epidural（無痛分娩）?  她完全不知這是一瞬間發生的事

4am 打 IV 麻醉，又打 epidural（幸好還趕得及）,  羊媽咪才感覺好些。護士說先休息，一小時後準備生。

5am 護士們來準備，又check 一下子宮，發覺 baby 的頭已快出來!  護士說通常這程度是已 push 了 一小時才有的，羊媽咪不用 push 就到了這程度，神呀!

6:05am 正式開始 push 

6:39am 搞定！

接生的護士說她做了十二年很少看到這麼突然這麽快這麼順利地生產，從陣痛到生產只用了四小時，真正痛只痛了1-2 小時。什麼 511， breathing techniques 都沒用著。

謝謝大家的代禱，羊媽咪和羊爸比深知，這是神的恩典。我們一直就是為生產順利，希望過程很快，痛楚減到最低，母子身體健康、平安禱告，想不到真是超乎所想所求。結果羊媽咪這麼瘦還能生出 6 lbs 9 oz 的 baby

小羊咩真是 full of surprises, good surprises:

以為會遲一週生，結果還是在預產期 15 號入院

以為會凌晨收到電話要入院，結果沒有，就以為要再等，結果 5:30pm 收到電話，說要一小時左右就到

真是提醒我要時刻儆醒，以為安然渡日, 突然就來了。 

「所以，你們也要預備，因為你們想不到的時候，人子就來了。」（太24:44）

(羊媽咪剛入院時，依然精神奕奕)

(出生後約兩小時的小羊咩)

安裝龍椅

在美國出生的baby，離開醫院時一定要有car seat   在車上。為了小羊咩的龍椅，羊爸比和羊媽咪花了很多時間挑選龍椅，羊爸比還給人安裝檢查。
灣區有兩個地方可以幫大家免費檢查安裝小孩的汽車座椅。


Stanford 的 Lucile Packard Foundation
上網預約：
The Maggie Adalyn Otto Safely Home Car Seat Fitting Station


CHP (California Highway Patrol) San Jose
電話預約：
(408) 467-5400
2020 Junction Avenue, San Jose, CA 95131

羊爸比去的是Lucile Packard 的。他們的是45分鐘一個appointment slot。他們真的用了足足45分鐘跟你講解如何安裝，調教兒童汽車座椅和安全帶。  羊爸比獲益良多。

(Lucile Packard 三個月大的娃娃)

(小羊咩親自示範)

[2D]

Lucile Packard 建議 car seat 不能超過 6 年，若你的 car seat 太久，他們是不會幫你 check 的。

小羊家非常建議需要安裝兒童汽車座椅的家長們去檢查一下，畢竟在加州生活平均 1/3 的時間都在車上。

爸比心中情--兒歌環節

最近爸比心中情加插兒歌環節，目前作品有:

《天使心》-- 讚美之泉
生命的美麗，盡在純真笑容裡，
受造真奇妙，彰顯天父的榮耀；
深深地相信，你是獨特的唯一，
因為有你，祝福之門開啟。

山有多麼高，愛就能有多麼深，
路有多麼長，愛就能到多麼遠；
春夏和秋冬，堅持陪伴不放手，
讓我們一起去愛，像天使心。

輕輕告訴你，你是獨特的唯一，
永遠愛你，寶貝，好愛你。


《印尼兒歌》
Bo a mei a mei
Pagi makan bubur 
Siang makan nasi
Malam mi' susu~ 


《小羊兒乖乖》
「小羊兒乖乖，把門兒開開」
「不開不開我不開，媽媽沒回來
小羊不能開 =P 」


《我的家裡》
我的家裡有爸爸 
我的家裡有媽媽
兄弟姐妹在一起
大家快樂笑哈哈!
 
很多都是小時候羊嫲嫲唱給羊爸比或羊 uncle 聽的，想不到現在還記得.....
  
自己想起都覺得好笑 


再 encore 一首:

《你是唯一》
世界有你會更美好
沒有人能像你
神的眼中你是寶貝
在世上你就是唯一
哦，你是如此如此特別
在上帝的眼中
沒有人能取代你
哦，你是如此如此特別
在上帝的眼中
沒有人能取代你！
