the entry about declan

my bet is that living in a cocooned environment and being fed through means of intubation must have taken on toll on my nephew, because the feral one decided to be born one week earlier. and so it is written. on the 21st oct 2008, baby declan arrives into our warped world of money chasers, strapless bras and motion-sensor bidets. the freshly-minted tiny mortal weighs in at 3.45kg

one might wonder why the shape of his head bears semblance circa the coneheads. the obstetrician suggested the use of a vacuum pump because declan kept flanking to a side of the womb when he was being delivered. so now, apart from eyes that are slit wide, he has a head that resembles an elongated cantaloupe. the good news is that his head will look normal after a few days. can't say much for the eyes though; it runs in the family.

still, how enchantingly adorable he is. call me uncle and he'd be golden.

(kooky plum) they bounce back, you mean? i have yet to hear of babies bouncing on their heads.

(leon koh) yeah, and so does nice photography skills and b&j ice cream. hehe!!

(rex) thanks, already-uncle-rex!

(bryan) he acknowledges the hello with a nonchalant, purposeful yawn. babies! how impudent!

(763092) usually its the younger ones who call me uncle that kinda make the calling feel family. if it's others, or people who are older calling me that, it'd kinda feel weird, and suggestive.

(no name) thanks, now it's time to fork out moolah to spoil him now! haha

(anonymous) yeah, isn't it? his name is pronounced as "deck-lurn"

Rex said...

but isn't the impudence and how naive they are that make us love them so much.... they are so pure and have not been influence by this world... they make us remember that we were once like them smiling happily even for the slightest things people do for us.

lol if u drop them then they will bounce on their head.. but lets not even entertain the thought. although it makes one wonder people know that babies can bounce in the first place...

I still owe declan a present from zara

Remember to collect it from me

(rex) his chinese name is too complex for me to type it out. but in pronunciation, it's "wang shen".

(huiying) even with the cantaloupe-shaped head? will check back from time to time.

(763092) argh, age is but a number. my spirit is full of youth and vitality. try me. =]

iruffcookiedough said...

(kp) i can't do that, i'd be behind bars if i were to try that stunt in any case at all.

(anonymous aka auggie koh) yesh, i'll be looking you up pretty soon. thanks in advance!

don u think the first pose of the photo is nice..? i think it's enough to make everyone smile just by looking at him. anyway, babies are just adorable. =)

iruffcookiedough said...

i know, right? that's why i put it as the first picture. just that my hand casted a shadow over his head when i was taking a pic of him.
