Wee Willie Winkie

Today, 27 July, baby Thiren is exactly two months old. Daddy had to return to Abu Dhabi this afternoon after spending 5 days in Malaysia. Here are some photos of baby Thiren to remind Daddy that his cute little boy is waiting for his return.

Dev's Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

Sydney Harbour Bridge - the largest single span arch bridge in the world signifies engineering excellence.

The sweeping curve over Sydney's world-famous Harbour is 503 metres long, 134 metres high and 49 metres wide. Flanked by four towering concrete and granite pylons, it is the crucial centre piece of Sydney's transport network. The weight of the steelwork alone totals 52,800 tonnes and includes an extraordinary six million rivets.

Officially opened on Saturday 19th March 1932 by the Premier of the state of New South Wales, JACK LANG, the bridge has become an enduring international symbol of Sydney.

Baby Pictures!

Hmmm, when is the party starting? I am bored ....

Boo hoooo ..... I am hungry!

These are my Grandpa & Grandma. Look how cute I am in my denim cap!

Let's make funny faces! Ooops! Mommy & cousin Delphine are not making funny faces, just me!

I look cute!

Thorn among the roses. Here I am with my cousins Charlene, Delphine & Jocelyn

Okay, hurry up. I am getting tired.

My cousin Charlene sure knows how to make me feel comfortable!

This is my mom's cousin Jo Lynn. She got me a lovely Baby Gap sweater with a hood.

Who called me?

Hey, are you talking to me?

Baby Thiren's 28th Day Ceremony

A hindu temple priest was brought to the home (Dev's parents home in Malacca) for the 28th day ceremony held on 23 June. After the chanting of prayers and blessing of the baby, each family member was asked to dip his or her finger in honey and place it in baby Thiren's mouth and then proceed with whispering of his full name THIREN DEV TAN RAVINDRAN in his right ear three times. The honey marked the sweet journey in his life as his name was officially mentioned and introduced.

Daddy was in Sydney on that day. We didn't want Daddy to miss it, so a phone call was made to Dev, and Daddy uttered baby's name three times into baby's ear through the phone
