Baba, mama & mum mum

These are the 3 words he says so frequently now, but i think sometimes he just muttered or screamed without realising the meanings of them.

He is getting more expressive in his tones and expressions nowadays :)

Chiobu YiYi

Chiobu yiyi was here at KL for an convention and we were so happy to meet up with her! This was her 1st meet-up wi Ziqian and im sure she was mesmerised by my handsome little boy... haa!

How i wish we would have more time to chit chat and talk crap but Chiobu got a flight to catch at night. It was super nice of her to visit us despite her tight schedule and it really brighten up my day! And gal, thanks for the Mickey Mouse toy, Zq has been "driving" the mickey mouse's car everyday now and he will point to me when i ask him "where is Chiobu yiyi's mickey's car?" haa!

Hope we can meet up real soon again! I wana go BKK to look for you next time round! :)

We are going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo!

Zq is ONE!

Happy 1st Birthday my darling! :)

It seemed like not long ago i hold a newborn you in my arms. When i delivered you a year ago, you were blowing saliva to me when the nurse put you on my chest... This morning when i woke up and saw a sleeping you, your tutu mouth opened slightly and saliva dropped from the corner of it... You had grown so much in a year, from a mini crybaby to a handsome big baby with strong character and bright smile!

Before the arrival of you to this world, i never thought i would put a halt to my career and stay at home to take care of you fulltime. But when i was helding a 2months old you, who needs so much of my constant attention and love, i knew that i couldnt bear to leave you in other's care, i knew that i must be there to take care and attend to all your little growing needs, i knew that i will miss you terribly when i back to work and we were apart...

I never regret my decision darling... Though there were times that i was very tired and annoyed over your non-explainable crying, your difficult meal and milk feeds, your hyper activeness... But i am so gladful and lucky to be with you, witness your every little "first" - your 1st flip over, 1st smile, 1st crawl, 1st stand up, 1st cruising and your 1st wobbly steps... You make me realised life can be so simple and easily contended, your little smile, hugs and kisses are all the energy i need to recharge myself and move forward again... Ziqian, words cant express how much i love you, papa said im obsessed with you and i believed so... Coz i just want to give you all the best in life and all my love...

Ziqian baobei, mama will continue to shower you with my love and care, take good care of you, i hope you will grow up healthily and happily... And mama is always here for you, hugs hugs & kiss kiss...

* Baobei weighed 10.10kg and measured 81cm exactly on his 1st birthday :)

Action-packed boy

This noon while he was napping on my bed, i was surfing net at living room and my mama was busy at kitchen.

Then we heard some noise and to our biggest surprise, we saw that Ziqian was climbing on floor and reached kitchen doorway!

Both of us had a great shock! When did he wake up? How did he come down from bed? Head down or leg down first? (coz he never came down from bed before) And how did he know his way to kitchen and climb all the way out? Too many questions and it was just too amazing to us! We kept asking him "Ziqian, how you climb all the way here etc..." Obviously he couldnt answer us but as usual, he gave us his very cheeky look :p

So we went back to the "crime scene", and from our observation he should be wriggle his way down, overcome the steps/ curb and climb all the way to kitchen... And we checked on him, no bruise cut, so we concluded he climbed down from my bed and not fall down from it...

My dear boy, he is really getting more action-packed and smarter everyday! Oh ya, he has been babbling "Da da da" and "Jie jie jie" these few days but we never taught him these few words, and no signs of papa & mama yet... :p

His 1st Birthday Party!

The BIG day is finally here!

I have been looking forwards to this for so long! His 1st birthday party is the most extravagant event i ever planned besides my wedding.. hee..

From the selection of the party theme, sending e-invitation (thanks Alice for your help!), sending invitation cards, the caterer, the birthday cake, the photograher, the montage, learning of doing simple balloon sculpturing to the party deco, it had kept me busy for almost 2 months! But i am so happy to get busy over this and i wana have a memorable and meaningful birthday celebration for my baobei :)

About 60 plus ppl attended the party and we were so happy to see so many of his little frens attended as well! Gladful that everything turned out well... Just that Zq was too excited over the birthday candle and he decided to "grab" it to put off the flame instead of blowing it off! Poor boy got a little water pus on his left palm afterwhich :p

Thanks all for the lovely presents and well-wishes!
