1st National Day... Happy 47th Birthday Singapore!

This year's national day came as a really special one for Mok and I.... we have our dear little fellow joining us in this patriotic celebration! 
Hurray to Bb E's very 1st national day celebration!! 

All ready to go for his celebration brunch with gorgor Caleb & Bryan! 
This year, our usual gang decided to go for a national day theme brunch outing! Due to last min planning, we had a hard time reserving place as the well-known brunch places were all fully booked! Good thing, Oh managed to get us seats at Oriole Cafe & Bar at Somerset 313! It was a really chill place to have brunch and the plus, the coffee was good! I ordered the mint latte and yumz.. it has a really rich after taste. Reasonable price for great food! So blessed to be able to spend this holiday with my best buddies. 

The little 3 musketeers also spent their 1st national day together. Bb e received lotsa love, esp from gorgor Caleb. ;) 

Just us.. and the waiter behind -_- Love this pict nonetheless! 

Loving us in red. ;p 

Gorgor Caleb showering Bb e with lotsa passionate love.. hmmm... was that Bb e's 1st kiss?!?!?!?!


Our 3 precious musketeers!

Happy 47th Birthday Singapore! Thank you for such a wonderful chillax day!!!

The HALF-year mark!

I'm 6.5 months old! 
Each time I think about how much our little boy has grown and developed over these 6 months, I can't help but thank God for blessing us with this precious gift of love. Was reminded one day of how much our Father loves us, and how He must have intended for us to comprehend a little bit more of the depth of his love through parenthood. Every smile and laughter; every cry; his little actions; the sparkle in his eyes especially when he discovered some new tricks... every little things about him never fails to tuck at my heart and I find myself loving him more each day. Believe I speak the same for Mok. 

It's been 6 months.. coming 7 actually! A little sad at times when I see him growing so fast, and I find that time is so limited and memories so spare.

5 and 6 months saw the most developmental growth for him: 

Flipping over JOYOUSLY

Yes, Bb E is finally beginning to enjoy flipping over. It started with him doing half flips, and he'll start whining due to his hand that will be stuck underneath his tummy. Gradually, he learnt to release his hand and now, he can even do double/triple flips. His favourite sleeping posture is lying on his side... and he totally dislikes sleeping on his tummy. 

Oops wrong reading posture baby!

Sitting up

He can sit up for prolonged periods now... my parents would sit him on the bed and he would focus intensely on his toys. 

Sitting like a boss ;) 
1st signs of sitting up 
Hi there cutie pie!! 
One of his fav toys, think he loves the colours  
27/6/12 His first few seconds of sitting up by himself! 

Started on solids 

30th June 2012-The day we introduced him to cereal!(Brown rice cereal from Healthy Times)  It was love at first taste! 

Loving my cereal!! 
Next up was pumpkin puree! Was a little hesitant initially but took to it after 2-3 days. Pumpkin was followed by carrot which he TOTALLY DISLIKE ... any case, we read somewhere that carrot should not be introduced so soon due to high level of nitrate.. so carrot is out of the menu for now. Sweet potato is his next delight. Yesterday, my mum introduced spinach to him. He cried after taking a couple of mouths... but he accepted it much better today! Loving his vegs!! 


Pardon my mess..
Mum would now blend actual brown rice with these ingredients and feed him for his lunch and dinner. Yummy yum! 
We are hoping to introduce to him fish and maybe chicken soon.. 

Though it is alot of work preparing the food.. especially for my mum (Thanks mummy for all the hard work!) but it is so exciting seeing him learn to accept new food. ;) 

Sleeping pattern

Not much changes for this aspect. Bed time usually at 815pm till 715am, followed by nap till ard 930am/10am, naps 30-45mins during noon time and a 1.5 to 2 hrs nap ard 330pm.



Having some fun b4 bedtime! 

Bb E attended his first wedding dinner! 
Congrats once again to Jeremy and Faye! It was a beautiful event and the couple sure was basking in joy & love! 
Bb E went for his 1st ever wedding dinner at the Mariott Hotel on 28th July 2012. He sure did have a late night that day. Overall he did well... not much fussing so kudos to u darling!! 

Love this beautiful family portrait! 

Me and my little prince!
