My Baby Shower


Since Grandma and Granduncle Andrew couldn't attend the party, they came to visit us in the morning to give me their blessings.

It was Daddy's birthday, and we had a surprise birthday cake for him!  A big thank you to June jie jie for helping us pull off this surprise.

Daddy's colleagues have a surprise gift for him, too.
  

My great-grandma couldn't make it to my one-month birthday party because of a fall and leg injury, so we visited her instead.

A miracle has arrived


My name is Ryden, born November 25, 2010. My Chinese name, 奕豪, embodies the spirit of health and heroism. The character 豪, also meaning oyster, encapsulates the boundless possibilities life holds, reflecting the saying "The world is my oyster." 

 I weighed 3.135 kg and measured 49 cm at birth.

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 

Daddy and mommy gave kor kor this cool bag, and told him it was from me. 
  
  
 
 
  
  
 
 
  
  
  
 
 

We're having a nanny stay with us for a month.
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
 

Daddy may not be the most romantic, but he's got a heart of gold.
