i'm one=)

it's my birthday! tee hee, so it's time to keep our 'family tradition' of taking a family photo in the same outfit again=) and amazingly-- with the help of a disposable diaper (on a normally cloth-diapering baby)-- my onesie still fits!! haha, i had fun playing with mama's glasses, messing with dada's hair, fidgeting with the ribbons etc=) here's a selection from our 'photo-shoot'--

kekeke, check out my toothless-grin=)

wanna take a look at my new trick? i can pull myself up now=) cool, eh?



auntie isabel baked me some really beautiful cupcakes=) and here's a video to show how yummy the icing was=)

six months later=)

time flies and i'm half-a-year-old today=)

it is very delinquent of us for being out of touch for so long... my daddy and mommy actually have intention to post updates on this blog so i can have something to look back to when i'm a bit older... but they say that it has taken a long time because i'm too good at keeping them occupied! (and if you happen to be one of those who were expecting monthly reports, haha, then you obviously don't know my mommy very well *wink* oh and just fyi, she's still working on the 'baby announcement/thank-you notes'... tee hee, she's hoping that this project will come to completion before i turn one!)

anyways, here is a 5-minute-video to help me remember how much i've grown and how i've been blessed=) hope you'll enjoy watching it too!

thank you again for extending so much love and care to our family in the past 6 months=) we feel very very blessed to be supported by such wonderful people!!

with smiles and lots of drools,

lum-lum alana
