Dressed Up

Mommy dressed me up nicely (in a suit bought long time ago) as daddy insisted on bringing me along to 2 of his friends' wedding banquets. Am I looking handsome or not? After the glamour and fun, I behaved cranky however and couldn't fall asleep until midnight... Daddy, please don't insist to bring me along next time, as it only gives mommy hard times and headaches afterwards :-\

My Classmates

Half-way through my playgroup classes now. Instructors doubted whether mommy and the little little baby could hang on till the last class which would be in late April, they therefore made special arrangements and took group pictures for us today. Usually, group shots are taken only during the last class when "graduation certs" are awarded to us. My playmate / fightmate, please hang on there and don't show yourself any earlier than that!

Looking Back - First Year Review

This past year has gone by very fast. Mommy said the pain from natural delivery was nothing, in return for the joy of bringing me up and seeing me grow. All of a sudden, I'm not a baby anymore and thus not getting as much allowance when getting myself in trouble!

A lot has happened during my first year, some of which have made mommy and daddy real worried and exhausted... Looking ahead, we're expecting tons more happy moments and another little little monster's memorable first year!

"Ball" Game

My caretaker used to spend time playing and reading with me. However, she "absconded" recently and I haven't been able to see her for a while now. Will she play with me again in the future??

My 1st B-day @ 迪迪尼

In celebrating my saying goodbye to previous illness and antibiotics, mommy and daddy brought me to a big park further away from the city to spend my 1st birthday. It was great fun!

Itchy Itchy

After spending a night in daddy and mommy's bed, look what happened to me! I got badly bitten by mosquito(es)... Mom & dad didn't do anything to me. I now realize my little crib is the best, coz it's equipped with a lovely mosquito net.

Group B-day Celebration

Me and my QC 2nd-gen buddies are turning 1-year-old one by one. We thus decided to gather for a group celebration. In fact, we meet around every 2 months. It's fun that every time we see each other, we've gained better mobility and can interact more. Many thanks to our daddies for bringing us together~

Photo Shooting

To celebrate my approaching 1 year old, mom & dad both took today off for a photo shoot, capturing some sweet memories. I got to disguise as chef, sushi boy, pianist and even policeman! Check out the slideshows on the right to see how the pictures turned out~

Post-Valentine's Dinner

Daddy insisted to prepare a homemade meal for Valentine's, so this poor chicken was sacrificed! Mommy appreciated it very much and complimented on the tenderness of the chicken meat, as well as daddy's thoughtfulness and dedication of course.



Over the years, daddy has spent quite a lot of effort learning to make yummy food for people he cared about. Below are just some of his "productions":

Having this capable chef at home, chef mommy has retired and retreated from kitchen for good. It would be some special occassion to get her to work again~

First Class of Playgroup

Mom & dad finally signed me up for my first playgroup. In the class, there were 8 other kids of my age. I was a lazy pig sleeping till the class has started. It was real enjoyable and fun. Instructors taught us discipline, played games with us, gave us snacks and we got to bring home our first DIY toy as well. Looking forward to next week's class already :-p

My First Valentine's Day

On our first ever Valentine's Day together, mommy still needed to work half-day. But in the afternoon, daddy took us to Stanley for some fresh air. The place was quite spacious and I saw a lot of little kids there.




Their romantic lunch was none of my business of course, except that I could play with the rocket leaves on the pizza with daddy.



Cheers!

After entertaining the 2 "lovebirds" for the entire afternoon, I got so exhausted that I slept soundly for 2.5 hrs on the way back!

Show some Skin

Temperature has climbed considerably in the past few days. It almost feels like summer time. Upon mommy's return from work today, I welcomed her with this summer look showing some soft tender skin which has been covered under an average of 5-7 layers of clothings during the winter (no kidding, my caretaker surely knows the fashion sense of layering!). To my dismay, her immediate response was molest and molest :-\

Red Packets

Though I don't have a good idea what these are for, mommy said they're all blessings and good wishes for me from people who loved me. In aggregate, there were over 130 envelops of them; should be able to bless me through the year ahead I guess. Anyhow, the colourful patterns of the envelops are dazzling to me. Yet, daddy thought the content inside was more dazzling! Mom & dad promised however to save up every dollor intended for me in the bank, so that I could have some education funds to start with.

Crawl Race

Went to a Baby Show where they had a baby crawl race welcoming small kids of 6 to 14 months. My first ever crawl race, how did I do? Check out the video below. It was a fun event indeed ^ ^

Marathon

Knowing that daddy's participating in tmr's Marathon, as in the previous 7 years or so, I put on his outfit showing him that one day I'll be his running buddy. One day, dad, wait for me! (For the time being, let me master my walks first~)

11 Months Old

Today marked my being 11 months old. We spent some quality time at home after daddy and mommy returned from work. Though no cake and no special celebration programme, peacefulness was already the best gift we could ask for. Know what, it's the first time in what must've been a good half year that I don't need to visit Docs during my monthly special day.

My New Pram

Let me show off my new pram here which I love a lot! It was a thoughtful gift from YeeMa, coz pretty soon I'll have to give up my original trolley to the new family member scheduled to arrive in about 3 months time. This one is so comfy that I can easily fall asleep in it~

Self Obsessive

Ever since I was 4 months old or so, mommy noticed I loved looking into the mirror a lot. Even I myself can't explain for my self-obsessiveness ^ ^

CNY Day 4

Mommy & daddy resumed work, leaving me home again. But at night, they took me along to meet with mommy's colleagues/classmates back from training school days. During the past 4 years, they have reproduced TEN 2nd-gens already, and 2 more are coming up shortly~! Daddy said if they had not worked for Immi Dept, they could have joined the Productivity Council!

CNY Day 3

One this last day of PHL, I followed daddy to meet his ex-colleagues. Daddy is practically a pro caring for me all by himself, and we enjoyed each other's company a lot! :-*

CNY Day 2

Daddy arranged a full day of schedule for us:

First came the visit from his all-time best group of friends.


Then came the visit from uncle Franky (hey, he & Daddy shared the same name!) and his family who returned from the States for short visit. Baby Stephanie was a total replica of her pretty MaMa~


Before dinner, we stopped by relatives' place for quick visit.


The highlight of the day was fireworks watching at a friend's luxurious new apartment in Mid-Levels.

Was cradled by Katie's mommy here.

Exciting day indeed; much enjoyed by daddy himself, but mommy was pretty much worn out carrying the big bump around!

Arrival of the Year of Ox

Today's the first day of the Year of the Ox. Daddy and mommy gave me red packets early in the morning, then brought me back to grannies' homes in the afternoon for CNY visit. Mommy got us these Chinese-style outfits which we enjoyed wearing a lot.
