The Arrival of Allie: A Photojournal

We finally received some photos of the first hour of Alya Jean Renstrom, emailed by Allie’s dad, and here they are for your viewing pleasure. The first thing Ain and I said at the same time was that she looks a lot like Irfan when he was born.

  1. awwwwww allie is cute! can’t decide yet if she looks more like mummy or daddy… maybe you could post irfan’s pics for comparison 😉

  2. allie looks so cute….. i particularly like the last two pics.. looks like she’s a little big boss with her hands like that! 🙂

  3. Yes, the consensus opinion seems to be that Allie looks more like me than like Sila. She appears to have my nose, my lips, my eyes and my ears. Anyway, she’s much more perfect than I am. 🙂

  4. Further captions; Pix 4 shows Alya’s umbilical cord was cut by her own daddy. Pix 7 Atok tengah mengQAMATkan Alya.

  5. Happy Birthday Alya! Congrats Ciwa and Vin. She jumped out the ‘window’ didn’t she? Do shout out when you guys next balik SitiA1. Hope you get some sleep the next couple of months. With Aunty n Uncle there, chances are good you might! Salam to them too. Wishing u a speedy recovery.
