Head's Up!

Curiosity struck the cat. "I can lift my head up higher than you, Mimi!" For her first time, today, Hanaa manages to keep her head held up for about 5 seconds to better glare at her cat before tiring. She did it a few more times later just to impress upon Mimi the Cat that she is Hanaa the Boss.

Proof of Magic

I held Hanaa. Today, 2 months and 22 days later, I wonder. My wife, too, wonders. Sometimes, baby Hanaa would have this serene gaze that grows into a teasing little smile. And it makes me wonder anew.

We sometime wonder when did our darling princess arrive. She's not the centre of our universe. Far from it. She's the orchestrator of our universe. As I search the depths of her eyes, I breem with joy enhanced with a flavour of the faerie. More than love is in the air, I say. There's magic at work here.

We R 3

In 2004, there was but one. In 2005, one became two. Come 2006, two became three. Seems like the Wong Family is a fantastic index to invest in, doesn't it?

What's From Daddy?

At birth, Hanaa looked a replica of her mom. Now, at 2.5 months, some people say my daughter is beginning to look like me. I think 3 features do seem to be inherited from the Daddy somewhat. Just which 3? Guess!

Those of you who has been through this before, pray tell, how many changes in features did your child go through from "look-like-mommy" to "look-like-daddy" to and fro?

The Imperial Language

Once upon a time, 11 minutes after Her birth, she holds her Daddy's hands. The Daddy was awed and lovestruck.

In today's reality, Her Majesty regally taps her fingers on her slaves. One of them, the male one, seems to be particularly inept at understanding Her Majesty's orders. "It's all in the touch, I'm telling you, Daddy," her eyes glower at me, "and since you can't seem to understand my simple signals like you used to, I'm forced to kick and punch and resort to 'goo' 'goo' 'gaa' 'gaa' aarrggghhhHHHHH!!!!"

San Yi-Yi is Charmed

Wrapped snugly in Daddy's arms, Hanaa begins to coo. In her mind: I heard this voice frequently before! Since Day 1! It's the voice of yet another most willing slave! Hanaa wakes up knowing she would be passed into her Yi-Yi's arms and then she works her magic. Done. One more slave.

Microphone? Shower-head???

Certainly not! It's a lotus plant albeit not the typical impression I had of one.

Yi-Yi Thresa Visits

Yi-Yi Thresa came over to see little Hanaa. She even crowned the little princess!

Playful

Ok, done with being thougtful, playtime now.

Thoughtful

I wonder what she's thinking of.

Portraits

Trying to capture that "One Portrait" is impossible for one reason: I cannot be fully happy and satisfied that a single photo can capture all that is Hanaa. My little Hanaa dined to pose a little for her daddy during this photo shoot. When put to vote, there was no clear "best shot." What do you think?

1st CNY Coming Soon!

Baby Hanaa has worked her 3 slaves like a true puppet master this past 2 months. Pictured here, you can see she is very pleased and looking forward to endearing brand new slaves to her this coming Chinese New Year.

Down to Up

At 2 months, baby Hanaa began to show signs of desiring things down side up, to clear the gas! But she still needed a little "rollover" help. I think she may be one baby who starts crawling early. On her tummy, she was already able to tuck in her knees and was trying to do push-ups albeit unsuccessfully.
