Tinto in Color

Mouth wide open

2006-08-23T12:15:00.000-11:00

Tinto is 7 months in these pictures, taken at home by babysitter # 2, Taele. She looks like a happy child doesn't she? The sign of a healthy baby is gauged by how happy she is. Hehe.

Facial differences

Tinto at this stage is 6 months old. These pics are taken on Nana and Papa's bed at Siusega.

Dummy time with Daddy

2006-08-22T11:09:00.000-11:00

Notice how most of these pics are with her father? What about me! Lol. Here are some taken at Siusega. She's almost 6 months in this picture. Grown, hasn't she? She is attached to her favorite accessory (or necessity)...her dummy. Watch her reaction when it's taken away from her.

Sleeping habits

2006-08-22T10:34:00.000-11:00

One of Tino's favorite places to nap is on the dinner table. Just plop her down on a cushion on the table and off she goes to dreamland. This is her with her Daddy keeping a close eye on her.

God, he looks wasted. In fact, they both do. Maybe Daddy needs to have a nap on the table too.

This is Tinto and Daddy napping in the room. If there's one thing they have in common, it's sleeping. They can go at it for hours. Just look at them. Like father, like daughter. They both look bloated and fat.

Nappy time

2006-08-21T13:20:00.000-11:00

This is Tinto at Malie, getting her nappy changed by her first babysitter Nora. She's put on weight here, and weighs about 16lbs. She's 3 1/2 months. Ain't she a beauty? A chinky one at that.

All spaced one. She's had enough milk for one day.

Father and daughter time

2006-08-21T11:59:00.000-11:00

This is Tino (at 1 1/2 months) and her daddy, having a heart to heart. Isn't it comfortable lying on that wide, never-ending tummy? Haha. Yes it's all muscle.

The early months of moy loyfe

Tautinoga between 2 and 3 months...where she's still a little tiny mouse with wrinkles all over and a dark complexion (ok so it never completely fades...thank my genes for that).

Tino at 1 1/2 months. Photo taken at Siusega on my very own bed. This was after
taking a ride to the airport to pick up Uncle Pepe. Still no fat yet on those
thighs, but she's a tall little baby isn't she? (see me preening? hehe). She's wearing her dark pink bodysuit courtesy of Aunty Reesa.

Tinto, carried by Great Aunty Lucy from Americana. The one who's deaf and spends half the time screaming in poor baby's ear. She's 2 months in this picture, fast asleep and bursting out of her avocado suit from Aunty Erika.

Pic taken at Malie in our room. She's going onto 3 months here. See the difference between her thighs in the first pic and this one? It gets worse, believe me. Haha.

Picture Presence

2006-08-16T16:35:00.000-11:00

I never feel like I've taken enough photos of my daughter and her walk through life. I didn't have ANY pictures taken of her straight after she was born. Her father didn't have the presence of mind to bring a camera to the hospital!

I want to recap my baby's life so far with these pictures. Here are just a few bits and pieces I've managed to collect from family members and my own files.

Enjoy :)

Love from Tinto!
