the joys of baby acne...

man, dad is glad his parents didn't have access to all this technology to embarrass him with. So far Natalie doesn't seem to mind, though.

Rockin'

Natalie loves to chill in her swing. Sometimes. (Others, well... we don't film those.)

peanut!

That's what mom's been calling Natalie lately, because she's such a tiny little thing. Add that to Hansa, ปอเปี้ยะ ('paw pia' ie. spring roll, which is what dad likes to call her - the whole bundle of joy thing) and จ้อย ('joy' ie. tiny, which our friend Aom hasจcalled her since her in-the-belly stages), and this little girl's got more namesจthan Carter had pills. (Which, i'm told, was quite a lot.)

sing me song...

WARNING! The following video features the off-key warblings of t.sweek, and while Natalie seems enchanted by those dulcet tones, there is a reason papa got a 3/20 in singing in 8th grade (ie. 4ème. ah, French education, so uninterested in pupils' self-esteem...). Play it at your own risk, then.

there was a little girl...

well, no little curl so far, and no being horrid, but Natalie's definitely been keeping Mom and Dad up nights. Here are a few snaps from the less groggy moments...

Welcome Natalie!

Hello all!

On July 2, 2008 at 7:15 pm, Ning and Trev welcomed a new arrival to the world. And... it's a girl!

Natalie Hansa weighed 6 lbs 12 oz (3.1 kg) and was 18.5 inches (47 cm) tall. (Hansa means joy in Thai, in case you're wondering). Her parents think she's cute as a button, but then again they're biased and working on not much sleep.

So rather than say anything else, i'll let you guys judge for yourselves...
