Angel boy

"Out 0128." BIL WhatsApp-ed us.

A short sentence to announce the birth of J, one of the most adorable babies we've ever seen two and a half weeks ago.

At 2.94kg J appeared tiny and wrinkled when we visited him first thing in the morning. Like all babies, he was fast asleep but I couldn't resist poking him (like how I used to poke Sis' tummy). I couldn't believe I have a nephew and Sis couldn't believe that she is a mother now. "That thing that was in my tummy," she said when she pointed to J.

Fast forward to today, it's been a short 15 days since J's arrival and already he is the apple of our eyes. A quiet baby who only cries when he is hungry or when he has pooed, he appears to be one of the easiest babies to handle. He is already learning how to smile, and that is the sweetest thing that I've ever seen.

People always say that newborns are the cutest because they are at their most innocent state. As the days go by they will grow to become more "scheming" as they pick up tricks to manipulate the adults.

I do hope J will stay a sweet, innocent baby longer. He would really look like a tiny angel boy if given a pair of baby wings.
