Have you checked out her ears? The crankyness and ear pulling soulds like it could be an ear infection, or possibly a sign of teething. Sometimes a fever will go along with that, but not always.

Thanks for linking to me, btw! It’s been awhile since I’ve been to your blog. I can’t believe the pictures of your little one. So big already!

mrbrown, you found that site while naming your kids? judging from the names of your kids, you definately don’t fall into that category of parents preoccupied with inventing a totally unique name for their child. I nearly became one….hehe

For us, we had a harder time with his Chinese name as compared to his English name. Chris often jokes that I came up with his name after watching too much of the Bachelorette, which the winner’s name was Ryan Stutter and American Idol, where the host was Ryan Seacrest. Come to think of it, Ryan is getting to be quite a popular name, I hope we won’t run into having to many Ryans in his class.

His Chinese name is Wei Yee. We had a long discussion over this because seems that they have this family generational name thing but the name has no meaning (Ruo4 Lun2) So just after a day he was born, Chris decided on Wei3 Yi4 - Wei3 as in Wei3 Da4, Yi4 as in Yi4 Yi4 - in Chinese hanyu pinyin) and bragged about coming up with the name. He never mentions the fact that he had to secretly ask his dad what it meant.
