the hello guesture

alan learnt to do the "hello" gesture last night.

can you see that?  and that's grandma wearing a mask because she had a bit of a cough.

"hello, baby alan."  "hello, mommy." ...

here alan and his grandma were having a big laugh together!  ha ha ha ha!

dear alan in autumn

it's getting cold now.  and we put on a long-sleeve top, a pair of long pants, and a pair of mommy-knitted socks!

just want to share a few new pictures of alan,

and his mommy.

my first birthday with alan

these photos aren't very good due to the lack of natural light, but i want to share them with you anyway.  they were taken a while ago, on my birthday night, 28 september 2010.  

it was my first birthday with alan!

he had a tiny bit of my cake, too.

alan's new hat

i've knitted alan a new hat.  it's the candy can pattern from Itty-Bitty Hats: cute and cuddly caps to knit for babies and toddlers.

i wish i could take better pictures of him.  my camera is so old and is really bad at capturing motions.

at 8 months of age, alan's head is already measuring 47cm.  haha!
