lisette smiling...
it brings us so much joy watching her smile.

lisette has learnt to vocalize instead of crying.
vocalize meant growling and grunting to indicate initial displeasure prior to a full blast crying.
on the whole, lisette is not a fussy baby. she doesn't cry much. the last full blown cry we remember was on day 60, it's a present from the pediatrician, a big swelling after an injection.

however when lisette does cry..
it's like vol|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||23 all the way up.

1st visit to my dad's office

this is my 1st visit to my father's office.
carrying me is my maternal grandma. i feel very much like a russian doll.
me being the smallest doll inside a mother doll, inside a grandma doll, inside a greatgrandma doll...

Thou shalt not burn thy forest

thou shalt not burn thy forest.
and thou shalt put out the fire in thy country.
please be more considerate lest another tsunami strikes.

love thy neighbour.

sometimes it is not easy to know whether another person is a 'neighbour' or a Moabite or Amorite. whether we are to love this person or to defeat him in battle?

the only way is by walking close to God, then will we be able to discern.

I love you

i love you.. baby lisette. sometimes you are so demanding, sometimes you are so cute. it seemed surreal to be a parent. mixed feelings of tiredness, responsibility, joy and fulfilment. mother ashley always seems to know what you need. when you cry, mother ashley would know if it's a call for food, waste disposal or plain pampering.
when was the last time you demanded someone to pamper you?
