Project Alina

The other day Alina was browsing through our blog, starting at the beginning, and she asked why there were pictures only of Laura when she was a baby and not of her. I explained that when I started the blog three years ago, she was already 5 years old and Laura happened to still be a baby.

That got me thinking, since the point of this blog is to keep track of their lives, growth, changes, etc., and they totally love looking at photos and videos of when they were younger, why not post pics of when she was a baby?

So this will be the first of many posts of Alina's wee years. Happy now, Lili? You better be! :)

Alina was born on November 13th (a Thursday), 2003, at 5:03 a.m. She weighed 3,290 kg and measured 52 cm.
