Mama Papa

Ian started calling Mama Papa recently. One day, while riding in his car seat, he pointed to hubby who was driving and said "pa pa pa pa". Then, he turned to me who was sitting beside me and called me "ma ma ma ma". He has now perfected his "ma ma ma ma" to "mama". Being called mama by Ian is one of the high points of parenthood.

Today, Ian joined his kong kong to do some gardening work outside. I took some pictures only to find out later that hubby had the camera's white balance setting at custom mode. As a result, all the pictures came out with a bluish tone. Here are some pictures, converted to B&W.

Santa

I never have a deep notion of Santa Claus growing up in Malaysia. So, the thought of having a picture of Ian with Santa never crossed my mind until a colleague of mind asked me if I have brought Ian to take a picture of Santa. Off we went to the mall and spent some money on a picture with Santa. The Santa's beard was real. The Santa position must be pretty competitive. I was told that it takes real beard to be a Santa these days.
