Finally, taken from lily’s blog – a pic wif the offc buds @ our high tea at Rose Veranda, Shang! LOVE X’mas!!!

He’ll be 4 months this Sat! My big baby..

Am dreading my return on 2 Feb; totally not looking forward to it AT ALL. Lucky Mummy will get to be wif him all day! Sobz. Maybe I shld.. (haha)

My sweet baby – sporting a new hairdo at 16 weeks, for CNY!

P.S. Not much of a do wif the limited hair also, hehe.

Oh man, how fast the weeks pass us by! It’s already his 15th..

Looked back @ some of his vids & am amazed by how tiny he once was/ how much he has grown! Our doe-eyed, very chatty, very playful & loves-his-fist-sucking little Guy.. hee. He is such a joy to be with!!!

My ‘lil sweetheart is 14 weeks old already.. so fast..

Yeah, he’s 13 weeks old & 3 months tml, & X’mas is over.. .. :/

Maybe ‘coz I’m not in the office, I couldn’t feel the spirit of Christmas much (being at home) & I miss those piles of pressies on my office table! Sobz. (Err of ‘coz X’mas is not only about the pressies )

But I’m thankful to be able to meet up wif some of my dear frens for X’mas still! Will put up some X’mas pics in the next (post).

Yep.. & I said I would blog on the anniversary – our 2nd since we held our customary wedding on 6 Dec 2009! We basically hung out @ Marina Bay Sands (family-friendly areas) & had Todai for dinner (largely disrupted by the baby hmm) but all in all, it was a lovely outing! I think the sparseness of the place made it really quite conducive for families wif strollers & young kids in tow. I like the place.

But I have to say that Todai wasn’t half as good as expected (esp. for the price) so, never again..

Looking 4ward to many, many more years of anniversaries to celebrate wif Hubby (& Zach, for as long as he would want to follow hahaha).

As usual, the weekly pic marks the end of one more week of our dear baby’s existence, & it’s been 12..

The weeks are passing faster than I would like, ‘tho I am happy about how quickly the Fridays & weekends come – when Hubby is home & he can relieve me! we can go out together

Short of the baby’s occasional tantrums (i.e. usually just requests for carrying), he has been a really sweet & happy boy, & we can’t say how thankful we are for that! His smiles/ squeals/ coos can brighten up any day.. hehe..

The poor baby has mostly been exposed to malls (only) so far though! Hmm.. maybe it’s not such a good idea to be born around the Christmas season ‘coz all Daddy & Mummy is doing is hitting the malls & frantically shopping for presents! So the baby has seen various shopping centres & loads of Christmas-shopping ppl, haha. Hopefully we can go for more ‘healthy’ outings once this season passes & he is slightly older.

Hubby & I also managed an outing w/o the baby by leaving him at the in-laws’ – to watch “The Christmas Bunny”, a charity screening by HRSS & to do a dinner. It was a ‘lil unnerving to leave him for so many hours (not used to it) but it turned out ok.

On the gals – regret to say that ‘tho I am home ALL THE TIME, I have not been able to accompany them alot of the time Partly becoz when I’m alone, I don’t really want to let them out of the balcony lest the baby wails & I can’t get them back in fast enuff (the naughty gals need supervision when out). So.. I really cherish their nights out when I can spend some quality time wif them & most importantly, they can do all the hopping they want! I feel quite guilty towards them sometimes when they look at me from inside the balcony & I know that last time, I would surely let them out upon request.

But I still do love them so & I hope they will always know it..

So ok.. photos in the next post! (& I still need to blog about the anniversary.. )

Don’t.. wanna.. go.. back.. to.. work.. .. ..

Btw, baby’s looking really perky (when in a good mood) & is such a ’chatty’ little guy! =D
