Ulani just after she was born
 
The main event of the year 2003, as far as Lìpíng and I are concerned, was the birth of our daughter Aurora Ulani Jacobsen.  Ulani is Polynesian and means cheerful or lighthearted.   And that's exactly as she appeared to be as you can verify for yourself in this photo, taken right after her birth.  She was born on 30 December at 5:35 a.m., weighed 2860 grams and was 49.5 centimeters tall.
 
Cheerful and Lighhearted already :-)


Her Chinese name is 江 悅 彤 (Jiang Yuètóng). 悅 means happy while 彤 is the color of dawn.
And translated into German her name would be Glückliche Morgenröte.

Here she is 190 days old and visiting her grandparents in Germany
