Baby! Take a look at you now!

The past 12 months has been great isn't it, J? Look at how much you've grown.

Let Mama go through pix by pix ok?

1 mth

I still remember the day you were born and how heavy you felt when they placed you on my chest. It's quite shocking to see how big your hands were too. Your hair were has a tinge of natural wave and I was thinking to myself "Oh no, 'Q mo one'...next time need rebonding". But it seems that it has straighten out. Your hair is poker-straight now.

2 mth

You looked exactly like your Papa when you were 2 months old. A chip off the (old) block. There is another pix taken with papa (which yr Papa doesn't allow me to post) and the resemblence just isn't funny ok. No, I am not jealous...err...maybe a little bit....maybe a BIG bit.

3 mth

Winnie the Pooh - That is how your looks have evolved. IMHO, you look super cute.

4 mth

Your hair, your hair. Tsk tsk! Not only does it grow long, it grows upwards. Whenever I carry you, the wind will blow your hair and it tickles my neck and face. It's really time for a haircut.

5 mth

Finally you get you much-awaited haircut. You new look is simply gorgeous. Goes well with your mega-watt smile. Who can resist a botak baby?

6 mth

Due to my neglience of not changing the milk bottle teats, you were frustrated with the slow milk flow and thus decides to go on a hunger strike. Thus now you are looking leaner than 1 month before.

7 mth

Your face is no longer as round. In fact, it is starting to get elongated. Actually, the whole of you is getting elongated. Right now, you are 68cm "tall". Well done!

8 mth

You had another hair cut when you turned 8-mth old. You hair simply grows very fast. Mama also bought you your 1st pair of jeans from Old Navy. Your well-rounded butt sure fill out the jeans well. Mmmmm...my angel in blue jeans.

9 mth

That's how old you are when you celebrated your first Christmas! Your Papa made it a point to be home for the holidays because you are the love of his love....apart from mama. We had a mini party at home with your cousins, Chloe, Dhillon and Eden. My oh my, look at the presents you've received. You are one lucky baby.

10 mth

2007 arrived when you were 10 mths old. You had another hair cut...what else is new?

11 mth

Just 1 more mth to go before yout hit the big 1. It's amazing how time flies. You are weighing a nifty 9.5kg now. At this point, you are into the peak of stranger anxiety and refuse to be held by strangers. We took you to have some photos taken professionally but regretted big time coz you refuse to co-operate for the photo session. It took us a hard time trying to get you to pose or even just sit by yourself. However, after we receive the pictures, we felt that it was worth it as the photographer captured you in your best light.

The BIG 1

Finally! The big day has arrived. Mama had decided many months back that it will be a Winnie the Pooh-theme party. Balloons, party favors, table skirting, plates, cups, cakes were all Winnie the Pooh. We had a small party inviting close relatives and friends. I think you were worn out by the excitment and you had an early night only waking up after the guest have left. That wasn't very sociable on your part right? Oh alright, we forgive you, you are just a baby turned toddler.

So J, its been a good year right? Coz, baby, take a look at you now.
