Pics from Reina’s 2nd Halloween!

I’ve been playing around with some different Photo-to-Cartoon Photoshop tutorials. The samples below are from using the tutorial from MacMerc.com.

Reina’s new favorite word is:

Baybaw!

I just posted 2 new videos of Reina, taken at the zoo a few weeks ago. Enjoy!

Wow, how the time flies. I suddenly looked up and realize I haven’t posted anything in 2008! Life gets busy with Reina. Geeta and I have still been shooting lots of pictures and video, and little Reina is growing like mad. We are continually amazed by her everyday.

I’ll try to make up for the lapse in updates…

Who knew Reina’s first trip to the beach would come of Christmas Eve? But here we are in sunny Los Angeles where it is 80° the day before Christmas. Reina loved the beach and cried when we left. I’ll put the rest of the photos up on Shutterfly soon.

Reina had a brief encounter with Santa last weekend at a department store. Unfortunately, she slept through the entire meeting (or it’s her way of telling Santa she wants more naps for Christmas). Several of my co-workers say this should not then count as her first visit to Santa Claus. Nonetheless I’m posting the picture (and it’s quite large!).

All the pictures from Reina’s Big Birthday Bash are up on Shutterfly (partywithreina.shutterfly.com). Enjoy!

Little Reina has had a busy few weeks, visiting family and friends in Philadelphia and Napa Valley, California. She celebrated her 1st Birthday in both cities and will have another in Houston (why only have one party when you can have three?). I’ve posted a few pictures  from California and have also included a video shot at her party in Philadelphia. In it, she downs an entire chocolate cupcake using only her fingers, her hands, her face, and her dress. Click Sugar, Sugar in the vids section and turn your speakers on!

Reina’s 1st Halloween was lots of fun. Aunt Trinh got her a wonderful pum’kin costume and we trick-or-treated to about 5 houses. Reina wasn’t scared or hesitant in any way and by the second house was getting the hang of grabbing a candylicious handful of loot (BTW, thanks for the candy, Reina! Love, Daddy)!

There are a few more pictures in the flickr gallery on the left!

Here’s a story in photos: Before and after shots of Reina at mealtime. Enjoy!

Below is a picture of Reina’s new wheels. Of course being ‘our little daredevil’, she prefers to ride it standing up Knievel-style:
