My Alvis baby at 15 months...

Yesterday my Alvis baby turned 15months old..
15 months ago yesterday I gave birth to him at noon time and that was when we first touched...
Every month on the 18th, marks a special day for me.
It reminds me how old my Alvis baby is and that my little precious who was just 3.4kg at birth is now a big boy, into his toddlerhood...

Next week is his MMR vaccination...
Can't wait to bring him to Dr Low and let him stand on the electronic weighing scale (yeah, when they were little, they lied down on the scale, now they stand on those used by adults.. hehe) and stand against the height measurement chart...

I've never really blogged about his milestones, his growth and his achievements because I've always believed that each baby grows differently at their own pace. All I want and pray each day is that Alvis grows healthy, tall and strong, and happy most importantly...

The things that he does these days really bring laughters to everyone..
I would say he is very vocal and he is fast in catching words I say, probably because of the fact that I've been teaching and started since he was very young.
I would very much like to share what he can say and identify at his age of 15months, for the very first time, because I feel he deserve mummy's little praise here. :)

He will smile like an angel and nod his head in agreement to what I say...
And he will slowly doze off to sleep without pacifier, any singing or patting...
Each night I look forward to that time we spend together...
and we'll hold each other's hands till he fall asleep and then I'll take mine out...

To Alvis baby,
Mummy loves you more than words can say.
Happy 15 months old and many to come..
You're mummy's dearest and my little darling...
Love the way we both clapped hands and mummy sang Happy Birthday last night at home and you laughed so loud.
Love you to bits.
May you grow strong, healthy, happy and tall. :)

Our Humble Pad

Ok, finally I'm here to show you a few photos of our humble pad..

Here's our living room...
View from the door..
Nothing spectacular, just the basics...
Sofa, coffee table, tv console, a small lcd tv and Alvis' play area..





View of the living room from the window...


Our Dining Area..



View of the kitchen from dining area...


Kitchen...




The Study Room..
Currently looks quite like a store room..
haha..
still has a bit of stuff unpacked..
just a little bit.. :P

This is Alvis' room..

It'll be his when he's older..

Right now, he's still bunking in with us... :)

but his little cupboard made by his dearest y-gong is here with us at our new crib..

This is the view of our master bedroom from the door..

Because Alvis baby was already asleep, so I did not take any pictures of our bed and the wardrobe..

Shall do it again soon.. :)

Just a peep at our bed... :P

Our view out of the living room window..

Basically quite a quiet road..

It was 9+pm and there wasn't much cars...

So what do you think of our humble pad? :P

We're just gonna keep it simple for now...

I still like leaving more space for little Alvis to move around freely since now he is walking on his own..

Trying to keep fixtures and furnitures to its minimal...

But definitely it's our cosy crib...

A place where we rest our bodies and souls at night..

A place where we spend the rest of our lives together..

A place where we grow together and learn together as a family..

Feel free to give any comments.. :)

Kite Flying

Last Sunday was Family Day..
Hubby, Alvis and me went to fly kite. :)
How fun does that sound?

Very fun it was. :)
The weather wasn't that beautiful, it was gloomy, drizzling, but we managed to fly our kite and let it soared in the sky for quite a while...

Yeah, the one at the extreme left is ours. hehe..



Here is hubby flying the kite..



Our Lizard Kite...
haha..
what a weird design..

As the weather wasn't really good, we went to Compass Point to grab a bite..

Had Subway..

and Alvis got to ride with Barney after our meal..

Didn't take much photos at Compass Point as we left there after the meal so Alvis baby could be on time for his dinner at home..

After baby slept at 8pm, which is early I know and I like that, I took some pictures of our humble pad to share with everybody here...

Look out for my next coming entry.. :)

Help Little Charmaine Fight Her Illness

Hi All,

I've posted a new link at the right hand column of my blog.
Please visit lil Char's blog to help her fight her illness..
I don't really know how we can help, unless we have a handsome sum of money for the little girl to get treatment overseas.
I think by visiting her blog and clicking on the ads can help raise some money for them.

Nevertheless, whoever is reading this, if you feel you can donate in monetary terms, I plead you to go forward and give this lil girl a helping hand, to help her live for she is so determined to.

It pains my heart...
I pray all young children be free from illnesses.

Family Day on The Singapore Flyer

Last saturday was our Family Day for the last week of May.
Initially our plans for that day were to go have a swim at the swimming complex near our home and then to fly a kite that we had bought on our trip to East Coast Park weeks ago.
Then we recalled we had a pair of complimentary tickets to The Singapore Flyer and the tickets were expiring on the last day of May...

So, plans for that day were changed.
We needed to go to The Singapore Flyer to utilize the ticket, else it's so wasteful.
hehe..

First we went to China Square...
Me and hubby used to visit China Square quite frequently in the past..
Whenever our off days fell on a Sunday, hubby would make it a point that we went there for awhile.. for his love for the flea markets and the toy shops there back then...

And we frequently had our tea-breaks at the Ya-Kun there...
Nice ambience, old-school kinda feeling...
It was Alvis' 1st time there...



We love the toast and runny eggs from there...

Yes, it was Alvis' 1st time trying such toast-ED bread...

He was enjoying the toasted bread a lot and kept asking me for more..

But then, me being me, haha, I only let him tried a bit and it's only plain toasted bread..

yes, without the kaya, or the butter or the sugar.. haha..

Then Alvis had his organic apple there..

I brought along our steak knife from home and asked for a metal spoon from Ya-Kun, rinsed it with hot water and fed Alvis his organic apple there..

haha, quite messy, but who cares.. =X

I cleaned up before leaving, as usual.. :)

Alvis roaming around, before we left for the flyer..

Tah-Daaang!!

Alvis loves water..

Best if got bubbles...

The weather was unbearable.. and Alvis was perspiring under the hot sun before we went into the flyer compound that was air-conditioned.

Alvis' hair can therefore be 'combed' so neatly because it was rather wet from his sweat..

haha..

I like his neat hair.. haha!

and I love to kiss him...

I would very much love to kiss him non-stop!

Queuing to go fly...

The way to board the flyer capsule was quite scary..

Err.. for those who had been on it will know what I meant by scary...

Or was it just me that felt it was scary?

On the flyer, the mummy was actually quite afraid of height...

but Alvis seems to find the 'flying experience' rather interesting..

So many things to see from above and he quite enjoyed looking down.. haha..

Don't want mummy to hold him... :(

He also didn't like sitting on the bench..

He want to move around!

haha..

Alvis baby pointing to... I forgot what le...

Family Photo Take #1

Family Photo Take #2

Family Photo Take #3

haha! Alvis' face was squashed!!

PLaying with Daddy on the flyer...

See cars with daddy...

Alvis baby also likes playing piggy back with daddy..

He will get on your back and then get down and play peek-a-boo with you from behind..

haha..

He enjoyed doing that..

We also enjoyed playing that with him..

It's very happy just to hear and see him chuckle...

After that we went to Marina Square and there was a Thomas and Friends show going on..

Alvis was amazed by the show for a few minutes with daddy carrying him on his shoulder so he could see Thomas above the crowd..

Then he wanted to get down and walk around... in the crowd..

and touch Thomas and Friends merchandise..

He really looked like as if telling me he wanna buy...

Then we went to have dinner..

Alvis had his porridge brought from home as usual..

hehe..

His corn + pumpkin + potato + broccoli + carrot porridge...

When he had his first mouth and you asked him "Alvis, nice or not?"

He will nod his head..

haha...

Daddy playing with the camera...

while the Mummy concentrated feeding Alvis his dinner..

It was a weekend well spent..

Saturday we experienced how it was like being on the flyer..

It was a whole day with just the 3 of us..

Love time spent together as a family, a small one...

Sunday daddy had to work, so I brought Alvis baby to my cousin's place to play with Dennis and Javier...

I'm very sure Alvis had a fun time over at my aunt's place..

He enjoyed very much the playtime with Dennis and Javier..

Too bad Dennis is going back home to Indo today and I wonder how soon will they be here again...

Dennis is a lovable boy and it was nice meeting him after so long..

Hope he won't forget this yi-yi of his when he goes back to Indo..

We all had fun together...

I'm very sure Alvis had a fun weekend.. :)
