One Lazy Sunday After Church

Just pictures last Nov. 25, 2007.
Danie has started eating solid foods this morning, more pics to follow.
Also, update on yet another vaccine shot, SHE STILL DID NOT CRY!!! :-)
















And this is what a plastic Christmas tree looks like
(for the benefit of those on the other side of the world who use REAL trees---
Dennise: Oh, and this afternoon (Nov. 25), we put up our Christmas tree.
Karsten: Really? SO early?
Dennise: What do you mean early?! This is quite late for Philippine Christmas.
Karsten: Well, here we usually set it up on the 22nd of December.
Dennise: WHAT?! So late?
Karsten: Well, if we get one earlier, it would look ugly after 2 weeks or so. We use real trees you know...
Dennise: (finally understanding) oohhhhh... I see... Yeah, that makes sense...)

Random Pictures at 5 months

Hi everyone, sorry for the late updates, I was in Cebu going crazy over the 'what-needs-to-be-done-before-I-resign' phase and now that Cebu is over and done with, I'm excited to share with you firsthand the feats of Danielle.

First off, she can now roll on her tummy! She rolls on her tummy from the left side and she can do it expertly already. Currently she is trying to roll back on her back from the right side. She can do this (roll back on her back from being on her tummy)as well but not as quick as rolling on her tummy. Wait, does that make sense? When she can't do it, she screams a lot and then quiets down when she finds her thumb which brings me to the next feat: the art of thumbsucking! Yes, she can do this already with matching saliva everywhere and the occasional gag reflex when she chokes herself with her thumb. Her smiles and bursts of laughter come easily already and she likes being kissed on the nape. She also coos and "talks" when being spoken to! Her cooing are not "one-word" baby coos rather continuous cooing as if actually carrying on a conversation, it's just the cutest! And she plays with her saliva! Play as in make bubbles with it! It's a bit disgusting but still cute :-p

The previous entry was about her not crying during her vaccine shot and I said I would update on the October 20 visit again so here goes: NO, SHE STILL DID NOT CRY!

Here are random pics of her on her 5th month:
