18 Faces?

Getting there.

More Like Daddy?

I still say no. Perhaps the dimple is like one I used to have... perhaps a little of the nose... perhaps some of the wavy hair...

Leaping at u

In no time at all, it seems, tiny Hanaa ain't so small any more. Now she jumps, she pounces, she runs and she leaps at you.

In case you have not read from my earlier posts, "HA NA" pronounced as such, means 'first', 'flower' and 'happiness' in Korean, Japanese and Arabic, respectively. From a daddy's point of view, she certainly embodies 'first' for her and for many. Take me for example, first time daddy. First time getting happily trampled under tiny feet. First time getting pee'ed on....

Flower... she's beautiful. Ergh hmm.... in my opinion, if not yours.

Happiness... working on it. Sometimes wildly so, other times demanding we make her so! If she sees you, I warn you, either she's too shy to give you orders, or she leaps right at you throwing instructions like a Queen ie. you know you have to do something to please her, just that half the time, you don't know how exactly.

Bir'day

Hanaa wishes her mommy, "Maii! Bir'day!" But let me rewind back 10 minutes...

Hanaa sees the cake. Hanaa says, "Daeii!" Points. "Cake!"

I turn to her. She points insistently, "Party cake!"

Her well-trained Daddy goes right ahead to slice the cake, dice it, I should say. Then Hanaa promptly helps herself to the little dices.

5 minutes later, satisfied, Hanaa wishes her Mommy, "Maii! Bir'day!"

Behind the camera

Is Hanaa! In front of the camera is also Hanaa. Hanaa Hanaa Hanaa...

See some neck

Her wavy hair grows fast, and Hanaa still doesn't stay all that still for her Mommy or Daddy to trim it. Good thing is she now allows us to tie it up for her so some cool air can reach her neck.

Pulling my Leg-O

Hanaa has begun her journey into the world of Lego, following the footsteps of her Daddy, 'to boldly go where her Daddy has gone before'.

You can't see it clearly in these shots, but she now accepts having her hair tied up. She still doesn't like to wear bands. Tie ups and clips will have to do for now. I'll post those pics in a sec.
