One more for the family album

Fifteen days old today. Hooray! 

Don't let go, Mum!

 

What a trio!

Mum, Kyan and his new friend that we gave him to cheer him up and watch over him while he is in the IC unit. 

Hey whats all the fuss about?

It's been a rough week. Kyan came down with a fever and has to spend three days in the hospital's ICU unit but he's definitely on the improve. He was his photogenic self this evening when we paid him a long visit. 

As long as you're comfortable!

One of Kyan's favourite places to nap is on Mum's belly after a tasty meal. Luckily Mum doesn't seem to mind. 

It's been a long day...

 

Kyan and his Lion buddy

One of Kyan's favourite places to chill is on his own armchair. ala Dad's raised, mohair stockinged legs. 

Safe in the arms of love.

 

Just checking out the view...hmmm it's not bad!

 

Tim and his reindeer lad.

 

High above it all.

Tam and Kyan on our balcony with the city of Fengyuan in the background. 

Like mother like son...

About a month ago we showed you this black and white picture of Rae, Tam's Mum, cradling baby Tam from October 1975 when she was one week old.
Thirty years, one month and one week(thereabouts) later, we recreated that same shot in our home here in Fengyuan, this time with Tam cradling Kyan.
The resemblence is pretty amazing!

Just rapt!

One of the nurses in the baby room thought it would be fun to wrap the two little babes up for this picture. We have to admit they do make a cute couple! 

Size matters!

Western babies are quite a bit bigger than the locals. On average Taiwanese babies are between 2.6 to 3.5kg. Kyan was 4.240kg. No wonder the Doc nearly had a heart-attack! Here 3 day old Kyan gets acquainted with a one month old little girl.
'Ni hao nu pengyou!' 

Hello little fella!

 

You wear it well!

Bonnet boy! 

Red and black forever!

Despite 'vicious' rumors he would be a Demons supporter, Kyan showed his true colors as an Essendon supporter on day 2. 

Bedhog - part 2

Right in the very middle. Bedhog Exhibit B! 

Bedhog

Two days old and he's already picking up some of his mothers traits. ie.he's a bit of a bedhog! Exhibit A 

Pass the parcel

We are so lucky to have some great friends over here in Taiwan. They were all so happy for us (the three of us) and they all leapt at the chance to hold Ky(alhough I think he slept through most of it!)
Clockwise from left:Lynn, Leah, David and his family, Manu and Fiona, Manu, Nina, Rob and Betty, Rebecca and Eddy and his mum in the middle. 

 

The old hand welcomes the new

 

From Mother to son..

 

Footlong

Just aswell Subway don't use Kyan's foot as the measure for their sandwiches! 

Here's looking at you kid!

Mum admires the view.
