Lunar Birthday

It's a Chinese tradition to eat Mee suah with 2 eggs, drumstick and vegetables on Lunar Birthday. Don't know what it means but the preparation and cooking part is fun. I guess by 1 year old, Kelly is less restrictive with food.

Kelly is walking

After so many attempts, i finally managed to capture Kelly walking in action. Remember the first time i see her flip, I couldn't wait for her to roll then to sit and crawl. Now she learn to mumble and walk, soon she will learn to talk and walk, then run.That's how fast a baby grow.

Counting down to Kellys First Birthday Bash

The first thought that comes to my mind on Kellys first birthday bash is not to do it since she is too young to even know whats happening and she might even not like the long hours out, seeing so many people and the unfamiliar place. We had decided on Shanghai and Beijing for 2 weeks and it seems more interesting to cut her first cake overseas. The plan was thrashed due to the cold weather in China and the dust in Beijing.

Since we are going to stay in Singapore, why not a birthday bash since friends has been asking and people say 1st, 21st and 50th year old party is a must to commendate the growing stages. Mummy quickly decided on the venue, invitation list, food theme, etc and had confirmed most of the things by now, pending the attendance, how efficient can Mummy be!!!

Kellys first letter

Upon checking the big stacks of letters collected from the mailbox, i was surprised to see one attentioned to Kelly Yee. It is the first official letter or maybe should say birthday card sent to her from NTUC Income. Among with it were some vouchers. I was puzzled because the vouchers are not relevant at all to a one year old kid.

Easter Day

Easter day is just another public holiday for us since we are free thinker. Early in the morning, Kelley, Shirley and myself took a cab to Expo for the yearly Mother and Baby Fair. We meet up with Augleo for dessert while waiting for the fair to start. The 3 packs of free Huggies with 1-year magazine subscription drew us to the long queue. Another attraction of the fair is of course Nestle since we are their supporter. Bought 3 tins of brown rice cereal, apple and cranberry cereal, wheat and honey cereal, 4 bottles of Gerber puffs, 4 tins of Nan 3, etc - all for my princess. Its the first time Mummy buy and carry so many things without Daddys present and it will never happen again.

Evening we went over to Lilian place at Park Green Condo for BBQ. Little Kelly came along and together with us are Nicholas Gor Gor and Stella Mei Mei. Stella is only 5 months old but she look so adult and Ang Mo with big round eyes. Although Kelly did not get to try the BBQ food, she did try Kuih Tupak and fried Bee Hoon.

Kelly in Mummys clothes

Notice the cute and a bit out-of-fashion (only a bit ahhh) top that Kelly is wearing? Mummy wore it some 20 years ago. Thanks to Por Por for kepping it so well till she left and Mummy took over in the safe keeping. This top brings a lot of joy and memory to Mummy and Xiao Jiu Jiu when we were young. We will play at the back seat with this top while Gong Gong is driving and that normally leads to puishment for making too much giggles and noise.

Kellys first steps...

Kelly is doing her usual stuff while watching TV on my bed, she squat, stand, roll, squat, stand and walk!!! I was amazed when i saw her made 2 steps forward without falling down. It is a great milestone Kelly had achieve, she is really a big girl now. At 10 months, 2 weeks and 3 days, Kelly made the first 2 steps of her life!

Last drop of Breast Milk

At 10 months 1 week 2 days old, Kelly is having her last feed of breast milk. After today, we will give our full support to Nestle.

Our First Family Potrait

Kelly is turning 10 months old tomorrow, so we decided to take our family studio pictures today as Daddy is busy tomorrow. It is not easy getting our moody princess for studio shoot. She does not like stranger and getting her to smile is even harder. We had a hard and tiring time getting her into the mood. Luckily the pictures turn out a lot better than we expected.

Last Day of Lunar New Year

Kelly collected a total of 36 Ang Baos for her first New Year. Mummy of course deposited the money into her saving account for future investment.
