Kids attending the Sushi workshop

Starting from last year, I had been trying to sign up the kids for workshops and fun activities, thinking they are big enough to enjoy and learn to make things without creating messiness at home!! Haha...

The first workshop we signed them up for was Ice Cream workshop!! Bu Adwin did not quite enjoy it as he had just woke up from his nap and while he was taking some snacks, one of the staff was nice to tell him that his snack is dropping, and off he went, not attending the workshop at all!!!

The second workshop was to bake and decorate a cake, which they totally enjoyed!!!

And the recent workshop is to make sushi!!!

Ashley dropped her first tooth

Ashley finally dropped her first tooth on 22 May in school!! Actually it was consider very late for her, some of her friends started dropping when they were in K2!!

In fact, her permanent teeth had actually grew at the back of these baby teeth. We had asked her to visit the school's dentist when we first saw we permanent teeth growing out, but the dentist was saying we can wait for the baby teeth to drop or opt for the dentist to have them (in fact, 2 of the teeth had started growing at the back), but my Ashley had told the dentist not to remove the baby teeth!! There we go, our waiting game...

It was really an experience for her, cos she was really scared when her tooth was shaky, she had refused to take her dinner the night before as she's afraid of swallowing it!!! She was trying her best to push the tooth out with her tongue, of cos, not successfully!! And I had also thought the toughness of an apple is enough to help push the tooth out!! Haha... Silly mummy right?! Anyway, now we are waiting for the other tooth to drop again.... Haha...

Oh, forgot to mention, Adwin was extremely frightened to see Ashley's gums of the dropped tooth!! He would run away disgusted whenever Ashley show her mouth to him!! Haha...

Alvan's first try on finger food & high chair

I was waiting patiently for my baby Alvan to turn 6 mths and start him on semi-solid and those finger foods Ashley and Adwin loved... However, he does not seem to like those rice cereal (first try on 11 jun) and even the heinz baby finger biscuits.

We tried to put him in the baby high chair at the restaurant (celebrating Father's day earlier at the Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurant at the Park Royal Hotel at Beach Road) giving him the Heinz Finger biscuit. Guess he's not able to enjoy it fully as it was really tough and him being toothless, was not able to savour the goodness of it. Very fast, I saw the biscuit landed on the floor un-bitten!!! Haha... Anyway, I am trying to get him the Baby Bites biscuit which is much tastier and crunchier... But I need to find ways to make him likes rice cereal first!!! :p a tough assignment for me now...

Alvan's first movie!!!

We brave the cinema watching Madagascar 3 with Ashley, Adwin and our 6mths 11days old Alvan on a thursday afternoon!!!

He was sitting quietly watching the ads when we sat down... But was making noise before the movie started!! Based on my past experience with Ashley and Adwin, they would fall asleep after nursing them due to the darkness and coziness in the cinema... Sadly, this does not apply to Alvan!! Lucky, I had requested for the back and side seats so I can craddle him to the side in my sling and comfort him to la-la land...

It took me about half the movie duration before I can sit down to enjoy the rest of the movie. But, soon I realized I was fast falling asleep too!! Haha... Anyway, this was a nice experience to begin with!! More movies to come baby!!! ;)

Baby Alvan on nuebuliser

Baby fell sick again since last Thursday with cough... And saw his running nose on saturday afternoon... And while shopping at PS, we can feel his body temperature raising... Thus left at 4+ after collected WL Father's day cake from Rive Gauge... (he's officially 6mths 1week old)

I feel he was breathing quite hard since sunday and decided to bring him to the PD on monday morning... Lucky I brought him over, as the PD said she can hear some whizzing sound in his lungs... Sigh... And he was assigned to one time nuebuliser treatment in the clinic...

He's on medication for now and just hope he can get better during this week and will have to be back to the PD next Monday to make sure his lungs are cleared...

That's the problem when baby has elder siblings, they tend to fall sick often... And it's tough to keep telling the elder kids to stay away from the baby brother when they are sick... And baby had actually just recovered from cough and flu for a week! Really hope my poor baby recover fast...

Alvan sitting upright

These 2 days, Alvan been able to sit upright without support!! He's officially 6mths 1week old!!

And he also managed to flip over on his own!! But tough to video him on action!!

Brought him for the Healthy Breastfed baby contest assessment organized by KKH yesterday... Ehm, the assessor actually thought by putting him on tummy they can witness his flip!! And they also thought he can perform his favorite stunt, him putting his feet in his mouth!!! Lol...

Our first Outdoor Photoshot -- Hort Park

We had our first outdoor photoshot at Hort Park by ZX Workshop... This session was bought with a promo in Groupon.com and we were really happy with all the shots taken!! Must thank our photographer for all his suggested pose and locations!!

Here's just a few of the shots we had... as you can see, my dear Adwin's right arm was still in cast during the shot!! I had actually asked if we can postpone the session, but as this is a long overdue claim of the session and the photographer had limited slots for me, we had no choice but to proceed with the agreed time and location!! Nevertheless, all shots turned out wonderful!!  But we can see that my Adwin was trying his best to 'hide' his casted arm! Hahaha....





This shot was taken on 15 April 2012, our first weekend without a maid!! Well... I still have a long story to tell in regards to our maid... :(

Alvan's full month celebration

Haha.... This post is looooong overdue!! My Alvan is about 4-1/2 months old now, and this post is to blog about his full month celebration... Another reason is, the photos were uploaded to WL's PC rather then my laptop, therefore the delay... LOL... me & my excuses for not updating my blog on time! :p

This is our 3rd full month celebration, did not intend to have a big celebration actually, but as we received quite a lot of red packets from our relatives, therefore came this invite! Anyway, we thought our friends may find it boring to come for 'another' full-month celebration from us, so this party is a mini one...

As usual, the kids enjoy themselves more... and I had ordered balloons just for the fun of it! :p  Ehm... I forgot to the take the picture of the balloons using the camera... LOL...

Here's our VIP for the day!!! Presenting Mr. Alvan Phang... in a romper suite bought by 婆婆!!

And, I did the designing of the banner myself and send for printing... which am happy and proud of! :p

Here's the pictures taken with our immediate families only... No time for photoshots with our guests! :)

Oh no, Ashley did have a picture taken with "her" guests (Keelia Lee & Amber Chew)... haha...

And, here's all presents & ang-baos for our Baby Alvan....
