Who am I?

• Hi! My name is Aurora Si Wah Wai. I was born on
  Tuesday, August 27th, 2002 at 1832h in Burnaby
  Hospital.
• I was 3351 grams (7 lbs 6 oz.) at birth.
• I gave my mother a very short labour and a
  quick delivery and she is forever thankful.

My Hospital Stay

• I couldnt room in with Mommy because I needed
  antibiotics and an IV for a few days, just as she
  did. My parents visited me often in the special
  care nursery. After 3 days, I was finally allowed
  to go home.

My Other Names

• I have many names.
• Daddy and Mommy call me Baby more often than my
  real name.

• Other names include
• Angel Face
• Wiggly Worm
• Sweetie Pie

Communication
When Im content, I have quiet moments
interspersed with happy sounds. However, I can
make all sorts of noises, including grunts,
gurgles, squawks, whimpers, and cries. Daddy and
Mommy have become very good at interpreting my
body language (e.g. hunger, gas, pee and poo
warnings, etc.)

one in the silly baby bathtub. I like the
grown-up bathtub much better.

Po-Po? My Kuao-Fu (Uncle Francis) was too scared
to hold me.
