12:21 AM

My niece is 2 month old... =)

Yesterday, I spent my whole day at home... Ya, didn't meet up with anyone to celebrate my birthday... (Plus it was raining heavily almost the whole day...)

In the morning, the 1st thing i saw when i open up my eyes on the bed was my mother, carrying my baby niece Jadyn, holding her hands and waving at me while my mother sing a happy birthday song on behalf of my niece... Haha, it was so funny... But i certainly felt the warmth from my heart. Once again, i thank God for my niece. (Oh, in case you don't know about the wonderful story about my baby niece, please visit my niece's blog http://god-has-heard.blogspot.com and read from the 1st entry.)

From being the youngest member in my family, now I have become a 小叔, it obviously gives me a responsibility now as an adult, as a person who needs to take care of someone so dear to me. I really pray that I can be the nicest uncle to my niece, can't wait to spoilt her... lol... But most importantly, I pray that she can grow up healthily and of course, grow to be someone who will do great things for God in future.

So, originally I was feeling a bit sad that I got to spend my birthday at home. But the presence of my niece really brighten up my day. My elder brother & sis-in-law have brought Jadyn home for my mother to take care so that they can go for their Sunday service. And that means, in future Sunday, I can get to spend time with my niece!

Thus she kept my day busy by just attending to her, watching her sleep, playing with her, carrying her, pampering her when she cries.. (she really has a loud voice, foresee a great singer in future.. =p)

Isn't she adorable? (One of the rare moments she laughs)

(Yawns... Time for afternoon nap...)

(Sleeping in surrender position...)

One of my birthday wishes is to be a good uncle, to be able to take good care of my niece, and to watch her growing healthily each day. Knowing now how hard & tiring it can be to look after a baby, I can really truely appreciate my parent more, imagining what they have been through during my growing up years. It definitely makes me want to be a better son to them in future. At the same time, I also can understand deeper how loving God is towards His children. And a verse just came into my mind,

"If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" [Matthew 7:11]"

I also pray that through the life of my niece, it can eventually make my family (my parent, my eldest brother & sis-in-law) who have yet to know God, to experience Him personally.

Oh ya, by May 2007, I will have another nephew/niece, so by then, I will have 2 babies to play with & to look after. =p
