Birthday Decor

Pic taken on 10/8/2008

This is one of my fav pics of Yaoren's birthday celebration. We bought the buttons just one or two days before his birthday at Carrefour. :D

It was mainly Aiksoon who did the whole birthday decor, including the balloons and the rest of the setup. We finished it on the night before Yaoren's birthday, and Aiksoon accompanied me till about 2am, as I had to rush out Yaoren's compilation of pics and make into a video.

Cake Tasting

I guess Yaoren doesn't like sweet stuff very much. He doesn't look like he's enjoying his cake. Cos normally if he likes the food, he will smile and shake his legs. hmmm

Pek Yao Lin's Birthday Celebration

Here are pics of Yaoren's birthday celebration on 10th Aug 2008.

We had a Winnie the Pooh theme party on that day, with all the balloons and cake. :D We invited our parents and siblings and had a small celebration.

Basically I do not think Yaoren knew what was happening until everyone was singing him a birthday song and he looked very happy. But before the song was finished, he stepped on his cake! hehe Guess I did not hold him tightly then. Yaoren also had his first taste of a cake later but his expression was rather bitter though he was eating sweet chocolate cake. ^_^"

Near the end of celebration, all kids came out to blow and play with bubbles. The idea was mine. Brilliant right? All kids loved it. Aiksoon even brought out sparklers to play with in broad daylight. haha

Overall I think the birthday celebration ended well. I may be doing the same thing for Adelaide in future. But I will definitely change the theme. Aiksoon suggested Disney Princess theme but I prefer Melody. :D haha

No business for Yun Nan

My colleague Yang Yan has commented that Yaoren's hair is quite long already. :)

Actually Yaoren just got his haircut about a week before his birthday, around early August. His hair grows long quickly and I have to cut it every 2 months approximately. When he was younger, it was worse. I have to trim the hair more frequently.

Anyway Aiksoon brought him to safra bowling centre two days ago, and some bowlers smiled and played with Yaoren, saying "hello girl girl". Ha ha Chabo Yaoren! That explains why my up and coming baby is a girl le. hehe

Above is a pic of Yaoren when he was 2 months and 5 days old, with overgrown pastures, hair standing up all the time. He got his first haircut when he was 4 months old. This is also my all time favourtite pic of Yaoren. It reminds me of how angelic Yaoren was last time. Now of course no longer angelic.

Yaoren creates havoc again!

We know when we give him the freedom to try something new, he will mess things up... His hair, his face, his shirt and shorts are all wet in the end... SIGH

Yaoren learning to drink from cup

Vid taken on 24/9/2008

We have been trying to teach Yaoren to drink from cup starting from last week. But normally it's us holding the cup for him to drink. Yesterday his father gave him the freedom to hold the cup himself... He is okay with it for a while.. and then guess what happens...

Aiksoon feeding Yaoren

Aiksoon feeding Yaoren last night. Both can be a lil crazy sometimes.

Yaoren: "Feeding time...not again?!"

Been busy these few weeks... especially when it's the last term...

But why am I still posting?? Ha ha
Too stressed already... Must find something interesting to do!

Well I finally got my cbox! Been trying many times since I got my blog but can't get the code pasted successfully. Now then I realise my error. I did not copy the entire code. :( So blur!

Anyway Yaoren was quite naughty last night (every day and night in fact), especially when eating solid food. He is kind of tired of eating the same porridge and cereal everyday. But when we give him something new, he will be interested in the food for a while and then starts being cranky again. He likes rice but he doesn't like to eat it in big amounts. So... I don't know how to deal with him sometimes during feeding and will be quite impatient.

But Aiksoon has tried feeding him recently and Yaoren seems okay with that. When his father feeds him, he is very happy. I think that's because Aiksoon knows how to cheer him up. Above is a video of Aiksoon feeding Yaoren. Yaoren laughs until he vomit a bit later. ^_^"

A video of August, from 0 months to 12 months

This video was meant for August's birthday party. I managed to rush out the video at 2am on 9th Aug, the day before his birthday. :p

1st Post!

Hi hi!

I must admit I am kinda slow to start a blog when my baby is 13 months old already... hehe

It is only recently when I joined Facebook and uploaded my baby's photos that I discovered that this is not enough... Facebook has limited audience and I want the world to see my adorable baby! haha
I am also inspired by colleagues and friends around me who have created blogs for their kids.

So there you have it, first post of PekBabies!
