one-month-old chloe & two-year-old alan

here're a few pictures of baby chloe being one month old, taken just a few days ago.

she has beautiful big eyes, doesn't she?

have i mentioned before that she had both of her eyes wide open when she was born?  and that she came out with just one push (although the whole birth thing took 10+ hours)?

i still find it strange that my second labor took so long.  it was supposed to be very quick, wasn't it?  but i  started having contraction at about 4 or 5am and chloe was born just before 8pm.

alan loves his "mei mei".  he kisses her and hugs her everyday.  but he's also jealous, which creates some behavioral problems - he's being quite rebellious sometimes in school, and at home, he cries a lot more.  poor thing says "没有妈妈” （no more mama) when he cries...  when i'm holding chloe, alan sometimes would come asking me to hold him instead, and would cry his heart out when i tell him later.

but he's learning to be a good big brother, learning to share, not just material things, but mum's and dad's love as well.  i'm sure he'll grow up a better person from this experience.

alan sings a song

alan can sing the whole song of "twinkle twinkle little star" and sings pretty well.

twinkle, twinkle, little star

how i wonder what you are

up above the world so high

like a diamond in the sky

twinkle, twinkle, little star

how i wonder what you are

i drew a portrait of him from this photo.  see it here.
