I am born!

I came to this world on April 11, 2010. I am a beautiful baby. I want to document my growing up in this blog. Actually, it's my parents who are writing this blog and it's them who want to document my growing up ... hee hee.
In the first few months, I made sure my parents couldn't sleep at night. Mostly my mom. I let my dad sleep a little more.
My nani (grandma) made a lot of clothes and cloth diapers for me. My mom, being a would be hippie, insisted on using cloth diapers until I was older. I forgot how many dozens of diapers they had to change every day.
