The Thing With Teething

... is that it feels so itchy that Vien wanted to bite almost anything! He looked quite frustrated here but adorable nevertheless :)

Random Toys

Vien was 7 months here

Whatever he can get his hands on... His toys could be anything. He plays by his own rules, anytime, anywhere, anyhow. This young boy is actually not quite difficult to care for. His needs are simple -- love and attention, lots of both really. That is not hard to give when he is this so cute :)

Good Times and Bad Times

There are times I feel like I am a child with a child of my own. My life has been scarred by the fact that I didn't know how to be a mother because I had grown up without one. Everyday with Vien teaches me lessons of life, of being a parent, of being a woman. There are ups and downs, tears and laughters. I know this journey is long and tiring, fulfilling and exciting. My daily doze of energy is Vien. As long as there is him, there is me, eagerly willing to brave anything this life has to offer.

He got balls!

Dazzling dazzling colorful balls!

One fine day, we went to a nearby mall and found these balls. One hundred colorful balls neatly cramped in one small plastic bag. We bought it at once for we know he'd be thrilled to play with it. His happiness over all things, mine included.
