Who is Champuru?

Aloha, I'm Donna, known everywhere on the Internet as "Champuru." I'm a Christian, blissfully wedded to my perfect match (the yang to my yin) of 15 years and a stay-at-home mom to my miracle baby, born in October 2008. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from my hometown, seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest. Read more on the About page.

Dot-Com Days


In the days before dot-net.

My little copycat

Baby Champuru, at 16 months old, is a master at mimicking us.  She started imitating me on my phone a few months ago, but I just caught it on video yesterday.  She’s having a very heated one-sided conversation with someone — probably Daddy. Maybe she was having trouble with her cell phone reception?

Cup Feeding a Newborn

I found this gem in my archives. It’s a video of Baby Champuru, one day old, being cup-fed by a lactation consultant in the hospital.

While waiting for mom’s milk to come in, baby usually needs to have some supplemental nutrition – and since there is a concern about nipple confusion when introducing the bottle too early, cup feeding a good alternative. The lactation consultant demonstrates the technique for using a cup (same type that is used to measure and administer medication) to feed the baby formula.

It still amazes me how much she has grown and developed in the past 11 months. Seeing this video reminds me how far we’ve come and also makes me wistful for the newborn days. But then again, I also remember the feedings every two hours and am somewhat thankful we are past that stage as well.
