One of the many Firsts in life

Our Little One went to school!.... ok not school.. it's a nursery program (play-school) for kids from the age of 15months... since when did you have to start going to school when you can't even go to the bathroom by yourself? Anyway that aside, there was such a buzz in our household a week before the fateful day...the Mummy went to get new clothes, new lunch bag, new shoes.. new whatever.. you name it, the Mummy probably bought extras of it anyway... But of course all did not run that smooth.. the tears, the fears and the screams were all part of the 1st day... and that was to be expected.. but overall I would say it went pretty well....

On the cusp of 15mths

ha.. when will the Mummy get bored with posting monthly updates on the mundane life of Our Little One.... NEVER!!!! what has been so exciting about Our Little One's life recently... not much... weather is cooling down so he has been brought to the neighbourhood playground for some outdoor activities.. with tons of sunblock of course... the Mummy has come to realise that Our Little One has incredibly delicate skin (like which baby does not) but Our Little One gets flushed red in his cheeks even when he is in shade while the temperature is slightly warmer than normal...and he sweats.. my god does Our Little One sweat... must be from the Daddy's side... the Mummy never breaks a sweat (over anything.. Ha I wish!)

Busy, busy, busy....

Never thought Our Little One can have so many social events in just 1 week... Fancy that! Our Little One seems to be quite the social animal... well not... he is in the "strangers stay away from my sight or else I cry" mode... so other than the Hubby, the Nanny and the Mummy, all other people are toxic right now.. but no matter, we still managed to squeeze in a trip to the beach as well as a playdate at home.... are we efficient or what!

Salon visit...

Once you are born, you bump up against the human problem called running maintenance... yes Our Little One had to get his haircut again.. you know maintaining an image is impt yes!!!

This is he after the Mummy got done with the scissors..

Malls... The Joy!!!!

Need I say more...

Life at 13+mths

Times DOES fly ... God how many times must I repeat that to myself (and the world)... Our Little One is 13+ mths old! hahahhhah.... from learning to walk/crawl around the house.. his newfound gym is the stairs in the house... up goes the protective mats and the gate and tons of other baby proofing stuff around the house... but it has been fun chasing Our Little One around the house (erm.. right.. sometimes it HAS been fun... try 1 out of 9)

Summer 09 - Part 2

Ok.. we have FINALLY finished our summer travels and are FINALLY home in the sands, back in Stepford-ville... luckily Our Little One managed to get some sleep on most of the flight.. meaning we got some zzz-s as well (Thank you!!!!)

It was an outstanding trip to the US to see family.. we ate and shopped and ate and shopped and ate and shopped... but we STILL managed to fit into our pants! (Yippeee!!!) Love the sales and outlet malls and NC BBQ! We sincerely thank all the great NC pioneers/inventors of vinegar BBQ (pulled pork)... the taste is out of this world!!! Fanta-Bulous!!!! nothing quite like it ever!!!! It was so good I ordered and ATE a WHOLE POUND of pulled pork on our very first trip to the BBQ restaurant... (just pork, nothing else) and managed to squeeze in room for a juicy steak (medium rare) off the grill in the evening.... yes it was a culinary delight on every level....(if you can't tell by now how MUCH we LURVEeeee that stuff)...

here are some of the FOOD pictures that we took to showcase the trip.. and more on my other website ...



Have a great summer everyone!
