Erlyna's First Birthday Celebration

A very big thank you to all friends who made it to Erlyna's First Birthday celebration. Also to those who couldn't make it but c/o ang pows. Really appreciate all your kind thoughts and gifts. Sorry for not being a good host as there were simply too many people around.

Really appreciate Bec's help by sacrificing her beauty sleep.. Came over to my place early in the morning to help out and also be a part time photographer. Also my two other photographers, "Auntie Veron" and Jerry.

Had a very fun first birthday celebration.. Not Erlyna though... but the parents. Haha. Erlyna was so sleepy that she feel asleep right before her cake cutting. Had to wake her up for the cake cutting so I guess she must appear very grumpy in the pictures!

When Erlyna's cake cutting session was done, it was Kei's turn next!! Haha.. Planned this for weeks.. Kei, now u cannot say no one celebrate your birthday for u ya. And u have cakeSSSSS!! 9 pieces of cuppies and one with your porno pic! Lovely.

When the Boss is not around.....

This blog entry is not about Erlyna and has got nothing to do with babies. But since I have not blogged for a while and this is so damn hilarious, decided to blog about it.

So what does the staff do when the boss is not around?

MOONLIGHTING!!!! by posing for porno magazines! ROFL....

ok ok.. we are damn eng at work. no lah. early morning mah. and plus there's a hidden agenda behind the photo taking. i'm not good at story telling so please refer to kei's blog entry Here for details.

Cranky, cranky and more crankiness

My my my.... Erlyna is super cranky I must say... due to her big two top front teeth cutting through her gums. Ouch. Papa commented "Wow.. Didn't know that teething is such a terrible process. How long is it gonna last?" Ah-bah then! U think teething is so easy? Her gums are itchy, painful and swollen. But some babies breeze through teething though, just like Le-Ann, my sister-in-law's gal.

Gotta rely on loads of teething gel now. She's refusing porridge. Gotta bluff her, coax her before she willingly opens her mouth to eat. She's not taking her afternoon naps either. Sigh. Woke up at 12pm all the way till evening time. Initially thought she would sleep at 7 plus after her dinner but NOOOOOOO.. She still wanna play! Papa was off to range and I had to entertain her.

So, I read to her from her little cloth book. There's a big flower on every page of her book and I used her hand to touch the flower telling her that's a 'flower'. After teaching a few times, I asked her to show me the flower and she did! After a while, she got tired of the book and when I asked her where the flower was, she threw the book away. So we tried a different book. Her Old Mcdonald counting cloth book.

Number One shows a lone rooster hidden behind a closed cloth door which u have to open to peek at it. Kept repeating rooster to her and soon, she could open the door to show me when I asked her to show me the rooster. And when she did that, she would look at me and then at the rooster, as if asking me if she did it correctly. Really BTH lor. So cute and fun. I would then praise her when she did it correctly and she would clapped her hands in delight. hahaha.

I know alot of babies at this age are already doing such things but hor, this mummy here quite lazy lah. I will try to read to her more often now. Quite fun. She can't talk as yet so when she wants me to read to her, she would pass me her book. Hee. And when u read to her, she will really sit and listen, looking at the words intently. So cute lor.

Fed her milk at around 9-ish and she KO straight.

11 Months

Wow. Time flies really fast. Erlyna is 11 months today! One more month to her birthday! Yipee!
