baby's room

The baby’s room is pretty much complete. Thank you to everyone for the gifts that helps make this room special for our little one. Many thanks to Grandpa for painting the room, and thanks to both Grandma and Grandpa for putting up the wallpaper border!! Click on the image above to see the baby’s room.

31 weeks, 5 days

Long time no see. Sorry I’m late. I should’ve put this up 2 weeks ago. Baby weighed approx. 3 lbs, 13 oz when this was taken; as of a week ago, approx. 5 lbs! Can you make out the baby’s face? I’ll be honest with you – I’m just now seeing it today!

Flickr plugin not working
Since upgrading to WP 2.3, I’ve had difficulties getting my albums to display on the “pics” page. If you came from Joe Tan’s site by clicking on the “Tenyjr.com” link, you already know my page doesn’t work properly. That is why the “pics” tab is no longer available. When I find the time, I will work on resolving this issue. In the meantime, there are plenty of working samples on Joe’s site and on the Flickr group.
