1st collage

Yeah! 1st attempt of collage I did with pixs from sam from birth to now.

Sam in Nursery (N1)

I was serving in N1 yesterday and as expected, Sam kept glueing his eyes on me...when he caught me lifting my butt and walking out of his sight, he will quickly lift his butt as well and chase after me.....like a chick after his mother hen!

Samuel is 14 mths old

Just last week, Samuel began to wobble on his own and enjoys toddling ...most time too fast and he will fall on his bum. It's amazing how he has growth from a tiny babe to a 10.5kg toddler. Less than a month's time, we will be heading to Canada for our family vacation to experience white Christmas and lotsa fun with our nephews. I have been doing minor research on where to go for sightseeing and shopping, we will not be alone, as we have 'personal tour guides' both in Vancouver and Toronto. It's good to have friends and relatives all over the world. :)

Weather forecast: it's currently abt -6 deg'C with wind chill factor in Toronto, *shudders*!

F&P Musical Chair

Auntie Janet bought this for me from Australia (she asked a friend to bring it back), my belated birthday present. It only cost half of what you get in Sg.

Ah Gong's Birthday

We went to RSYC to celebrate Ah Gong's birthday yesterday, food was so-so but the ambience was quite good.

2nd Haircut for Samuel

It has been a traumatizing weekends for Samuel, he had his haircut last Sat & Sun. He don’t like hair cut and will object violently. It took 3 adults to hold him down and we had to do it in 2 sessions. What a nightmare!

Well, the end result is good, nice clean look.

Before


After




This pix was taken 1st 5mins before he woke up. It is near possible to always time his haircut around his sleep cos' he can be quite a light sleeper and he sleeps very little on weekends.

Sam at 13mths old

Last 2 nights were nightmare, Sam seems to be teething again which is good considering he is a late bloomer. He was grouchy throughout the weekend, sleeping time was not a breeze for him, he toss and turn and cry big time. Lousy mummy lost her patience and daddy had to take over. I hope his 5th teeth emerge soon though nowhere near in sight. Even feeding time is a nightmare, we have to fish out whatever tools we can to distract him and the Wheel on the Bus is the winner, his all time favourite! He can sit thru' the show for a good 20 - 30mins! Admitted I over-used it last 2 days when I ran out of energy to pacify him.

This pix was taken at the Wine Company while we waited to observed JG's class next door.

Come to plain water using his mag mag cup, he couldn't sip thru' the straw but using the straw in a glass of coke, he managed 2 sips, content makes a difference!

Samuel & Mummy

Can't find a pix of daddy when he was a toddler, with this comparison, we don't look very alike right? Similarity? We both have chubby cheeks, hee hee!

Samuel looks more like Daddy or Mummy?

New Tricyle - from Da Yi

Mummy brought me downstairs for an hr last evening to ride on my new tricycle(while waiting for daddy to come home), i still can't cycle on my own yet and mummy has to push me around. Am enjoying it, thank you Da Yi.

P/S: Am proud to say that I have successfully weaned off pacifier, hee hee. Bye bye du du!

Holding my own milk bottle

Finally mummy decided that she is not going to hold my milk bottle and carry me while I drink milk, i better buck up and don't be lazy. Auntie Rochelle was told not to carry me and hold my bottle while I drink as well unless I cry big time. :)

PS: Am currently in cold turkey treatment, mummy is weaning me off my pacifier, my magic 'nee-tu' which has carried me through my 1st year of growing up. Stay tuned, I shall come back next to update on my determination and success!

Swimming

Mummy & Daddy brought me to swim for the 2nd time this year, on Hari Raya! I am learning how to thread on water, don't under estimate me ok. :)

Too many pressies

I cried at the sight of too much pressies, sooo touched, haahahaa!

Don't snatch my pressies, I'll show no mercy!

Fancy cake vs Humble cake

Fancy cake on my birthday bash last sunday, 14 Sept

Humble cake tonight which mummy bought, haahaa! I prefer the fancy chocolate cake, this one I don't like, too cheesy maybe.

Love note from Daddy

My Dearest Samuel,

Today is the day that you celebrate your 1st year since you were born. Your birth was one that both your mum and daddy looked forward after waiting for 9 long months as God made you in your mummy’s womb. You are definitely a son that we planned and asked God for and you have been such a blessing to us.

Since the day you were born, your blessings have been so abundant as seen in the number of people that was there for your 1st month celebration, your 1st birthday and of course the gifts and blessings that you received. You will always be a joy to both your mummy and daddy as you continue to grow in stature, strength and wisdom in the sight of both God and man. Even when you are naughty, I will still love you not because of any other reason but that fact that you are my son and a blessing from God to both your mummy and daddy. Remember always that whatever mummy and daddy do, all will always be done with your well-being in mind. Be it in times of showing you our love and tender loving care or when we have to discipline you, it will always be done with your proper development in both character and the fulfillment of your God given destiny in mind.

Daddy will always remember the time when the nurse asked daddy to count your fingers and toes when you were being weight for the first time in Thomson Medical Centre. It was an experience that daddy will always treasure and remember as you grow. You are the first newborn baby that I have ever carried and I remember of how proud I was when you first opened your eyes a few hours after you were born and I saw that you have double eyelids. You were also born with strong neck my son as you were able to turn your head only a few hours after you were born.

I pray that as you continue to grow, you will learn and understand how much both mummy and daddy love you but even more important that you begin to understand God’s love for you and your heritage as a Malay Christian. Remember that the Malay community is also your people as much as the Chinese Community is your people. You are gifted with a rich heritage and I hope that you will grow to enjoy it.

Blessed 1st Birthday Samuel!

Your loving father

Love note to my dear son, Samuel

Dear Samuel
You will turn ONE official tomorrow.

I thank God for bringing you into my life and a joy to me. As I look back, it has been an awesome and fruitful year that I have led, with you in my life.

I would not exchange anything for you, the 10-11hrs of labor that I went through was definitely worth it although mummy had to opt for emergency C-section because of your big crown.

Seeing how you have grown up from a tiny babe to a 10kg toddler now, am so proud of you and in awe by God, who has created you so beautifully in his image.

Nevermind the tantrum that you love to throw whenever we did not pick you up when we walked by the play yard or playpen, we love you just the way you are. Your constant smile and giggles with high pitched laughters always erases my burdens, frustration and fears. You are my happy baby, always beaming with a smile.

Together with daddy, we will try our very best to provide for you and demonstrating God’s love in our daily walk together so that you can experience Jesus and receive Him as your Lord and Saviour as you grow up.

Happy 1st Birthday my dear Samuel and I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you.

Love always
Mummy
