Birthday party

My son's is going to celebrate his 2nd birthday end of next month. I am still thinking of how to celebrate his. My idea is just have a small crowd with family & closed friends. Anyone has any idea?

e-shopping

I have just started to shop online recently, mainly on baby clothing. I found out that it’s so much cheaper online even inclusive of the delivery charges. I have not yet received my orders, I do hope they are in good conditions. Do you shop online too? If yes, mind to share any site which you fond of?

Go to sleep!!!

10pm

Mummy: Xiang, let's go to bedroom!
Xiang: 上去....上去 ！
(go up, go up)

10.10pm
Xiang: mummy，pillow，pillow 。。。
mummy，chut chut，chut chut 。。。
(note：chut chut = paci）

10.12pm
Xiang: 开barney ，mummy 拿
(he wants to watch Barney & ask me to take down from cabinet)

10.30 pm
He slipped out of bed, open the cabinet, looking for his next toy.
Mummy: 好了，睡觉了！
(just trying my luck to ask him to sleep)
Xiang: 不要，不要！
开baby，mummy 拿
[Luck was not on my side as usual. He asked to watch YourBabyCanRead. Well, it's a good DVD, so ok ...]

10.50pm
He slipped down from bed again, open my closet this time.
Mummy: 好了，mummy 累了，睡觉了！
Xiang: 不要，不要！mummy 拿 book ... book
[Reading is good. So, ok ... again]

11.10pm
Mummy: OK, let's sleep now!
Xiang: 不要，不要！ 下去，下去 !
(he wants to go downstairs!)
Mummy & Daddy: NO! SLEEP NOW!!!
(with very stern voice)
Xiang: 哇! 哇!! 哇!!!
(crying so loud that he woke up his sister. )
Mummy: ok, ok, ok …
(I gave up and let him do whatever he liked - usually played with hankies from my closet)


11.25pm
Mummy: Xiang, let's sleep now ....
(very sleepy and with little energy left)
Xiang: mummy 拿…

sigh ... all this can go on and on ...
so when he reached the limit, i'll just slam shut everything, ignored his screaming/crying and off the bedroom light. But, because of he cried so hard, sometimes he'll have bad dreams.

I have no idea how to train him to sleep once step into bedroom ???

Taking photos

I have been thinking of taking photos of both of them before. But the idea keeps putting off. Finally I found photographers who are able to come to my house for the shooting! I truly look forward to this as I want to keep something for remembrance of their cute babyhood days. Can't wait to see the results!!!

Brother & Sister

I like these 2 photos a lot (though not professionally taken). That is the first time Xiang hugged Qi! See how happy is Xiang & Qi!!!

Pretty princess

Qi was born dark. I'm not sure whether it's the effect of all the kopi-o & nescafe which I took during pregnancy! "Sorry ah, Qi ...."

Taken on 11 March 2008

Her skin texture changed in a few months and before I knew it, everyone is praising for her fair & nice complexion. {proud! proud! proud!}

Taken on 4 Oct 2008.

[She's doing her business on potty, but still looked at the camera!]

How I miss his chubbiness!

I remembered that Xiang could drink 3 oz of milk straight when he's only 3 days old! Look how chubby he is!



This one is taken during his 1st visit to his babysitter house. It was raining cats & dogs and so we waited at the car.
Xiang: "boring mummy ......"



Then out of sudden, during his 4th month, he started to dislike milk. We have to spoon feed or sleep feed him. It was then he started to slim down
