Posting again…
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…

The First Wave
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.

Sleeping Through Christmas
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!).

Party with Reina!
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!

1st Halloween
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 right!

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

Reina is Walking!
Last night at 8:38pm, little Reina took her first steps! Actually she has taken a few accidental steps in the past week but this was definitely coordinated and with purpose. Luckily, Geeta was on the scene with the video camera and caught all the action. Initially we thought she took 2 steps. However, careful and expert examination of the tape reveals not 2, not 3, but 4 steps! The complete video (with Reina-cam Super Slo-Mo instant replay â„¢) is available in the Vids section.
