First Christmas with Grandma


Dear Princess,

Yayy, its Christmas again but this year you get to spend it with Grandma & Grandpa. So technically its your first christmas. As usual you woke up early and in the process you woke daddy up too. We showered and changed and went downstairs. We allowed you to open one present. You seemed to enjoy tearing off the wrapping paper. Daddy opened his present from you. We bought him a nice Nike t-shirt. His other gift was at Grandma's house which he had no idea about. You and I then made our way to Grandma's for an hour to help a little. Then went back home to change.

By Half past three, everyone gathered at Grandma's house to enjoy her spread of food. Turkey, Lamb, roast potatoes, carrot & turnip and apple crumble. Your first taste of Grandma's "special menu". You seemed to have enjoyed the opening of gifts session. You got a cool Elmo guitar from Grandma, some big lego blocks from Uncle Azim & Auntie Sue and your Ball Popper from Mummy & Daddy. It was nice to have everyone together for a change.

When we got home, we were in for another surprise, more christmas gifts from Auntie Sarinah. She gave you her adorable kiddie sofa set which is just perfect for you.

I think all in all, you had a great day which really tired you out as you fell asleep as soon as we got home.

Grand Wedding & Snow Village at Empire


Mia attended her second wedding last weekend. Her first was Filya's wedding at the Polo Club last year and this one was Carrie's sisters wedding at the Grand Ballroom. This time round, Mia can walk so she was happy to just strut around the ballroom. She really didn't want to be carried nor did she want to sit in her stroller. We saw a couple of familiar faces and new faces too. And as usual Mia was just too friendly and didn't mind being held by anyone.



The following night we made a date with Gailee to meet up at Empire to see the Christmas decor. At exactly 8o'clock, fake snow came falling from the upper level. Maybe one day, Mia will get to feel real snow. The atmosphere was very christmassy though. We stayed for a while before heading over to see Mia's cousins in Jerudong.

Memories

9th December 2009

Dear Mia,

This time last year, mummy was enjoying her confinement time with you. I can't believe a year has passed and you will be celebrating your 2nd Christmas. This year you'll be celebrating with two more new cousins, Baby Hapidz and Baby Adam, who is yet to grace us with his arrival. I ordered some wall stickers for your room recently and they have arrived so I will be doing some sticking tonight. Slowly slowly your nursery is getting there. I think its time to move out your crib and turn your nursery into a toy room you can actually chill in and watch your latest favourite cartoon, Toy Story.

Recently I felt for you as a 2 year old boy pushed you. You did not cry but you just stood still, stunned and looked very confused. Never again will I let that boy ever go near you. It breaks my heart to see someone hurt you. I hope you know that its wrong to push or hit someone, even if you are angry. But if bullies start doing that to you then I'll definitely be enrolling you in self defence classes. No one bullies my baby.

Dear Mia,

You are growing up quickly my love. This christmas you'll be 13 months. Lately I've realized, whenever I scold you by saying "No Mia", you will look away and walk off only to start scolding your toys or the bookcase or any other item lying around. Its quite hilarious actually but I always refrain myself from laughing.

You are definitely a smart egg who loves books. The bookworm in you comes from mummy most definitely. I will occasionally ask you where your book is and you'll immediately go to your toy box and search for it. Once you have found it, you'd take it out and say "Boook" which is so cute. When you are in the mood, you'll automatically by yourself sit down and flip the cardboard pages of your animal book. You would point to the picture of the duck and say "duckiee", point to the picture of the monkey and say "Keyyyy", point to the picture of the dog and say "arf arf", point to the picture of the bird and say "Shoo shoo" then point to the picture of the cat and say "meow". Pandai kan my pumpkin!

Learn away my love~

First Swim



Last week I finally pushed myself to buy Mia a paddling pool. So on Thursday night, me and the handsome hubby spared about two hours of our time taking turns pumping up the pool. We only had the manual foot pump hence why it took so long but we didn't mind as initially we were planning to blow using our own lung power. I don't think that would of been a good idea. And so the following day, after work, I told Mia she could have a quick play in her pool. I accompanied her while she splashed about in the pool. I could see she really enjoyed it. About half an hour later, maghrib was approaching so I told her it was time to get out. I was not surprised at all to get that "No" attitude from her. She was absolutely enjoying it. So I let her play for another 10 minutes then grabbed her and wrapped her in her towel. When she was done, her eyes were red, and her toes were wrinkly...hehe...

Mummy's Little cupcake

Since Mia is now one years old, I gave her a little treat to indulge in, a mini oreo cupcake from her birthday party. I watched her sit quietly in her high chair and enjoy every bite she took from her cupcake. In a matter of minutes, it was all gone, well, most of it. The mess she made was a beautiful one but it was something I truly did enjoy watching. How could one resist smiling watching this lil' pumpkin feed herself a mini cupcake..hehe...
