"A successful man is someone who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of others and the love of children; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty ; who always looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. "
- a variation of "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Alvin is 6 Months!

The first entry of our blog marks Alvin’s 6 months journal to this spectacular world. Alvin’s present has enlightened our life in many indescribable ways. There is nothing more enjoyable than having a big kiss on his pink cheeks after a long day of work, although taking care of him is worse than any other jobs on this planet, we all agree.

Alvin was born on July 17, 2006. The name “Alvin” has the meaning of “be loved by all”. Soon after his birth, Alvin replaced his mom as the commander of the house. Sure enough, his father has dropped from No 2 to No 3 in place. Alvin drives everything in the house, including our mealtime and sleeping schedule.

Alvin can sit up straight by himself now. Sometimes he uses his hand to support himself not to fall to the side. He is an active boy and loves to spend time on his jumper and exersaucer. Drooling is part of his teething process. Once the faucet is on, it is hard to turn off. He loves to smile at people, but with the expectation that person will hold him. He will be very very unsatisfied if his smile isn’t getting rewarded.
