A Saturday with just Mummy :)

As with last Saturday, Alvin had to work again and 2 of us spent some quality time together. Loved it.

Dressed her up in some fast food garb that Karen and Mad got in BKK for chubs and she looked really cute in them!

Winnie the Pooh

TGIF! As I had lunch at Vivocity today, I dropped by Toys 'R' Us to see if I could get anything for chubs. Turned out they were having sale and I grabbed 2 items for chubs which I'm rather sure she would like. One is a colorful "piano" and the other is a caterpillar that plays nursery rhymes and music and can be attached to her cot. Both are colorful and allows her to learn something while she plays with them.

Went to my in-laws' after work so we could go out for dinner together. They dressed chubs up in a Winnie the pooh outfit XY got from BKK when we were there in July. Speaking of that, I should stop procrastinating and post pictures of stuffs we got for chubs from BKK.

Another Sunday

This Sunday, Terence Tan's baby boy, Adven, turned one-month old! We attended the celebration with chubs and to our surprise, our friends who usually went to gatherings armed with their babies, were without them today! I was a little disappointed as we do not bring chubs along most of the time and I was hoping to accquaint her with them today. Anyways, we saw Auntie Yali (my confinement lady) there and she commented that chubs has turned into a fair, chubby lady as compared to her earlier months. She even commented that chubs is a little taxing on her arms. Hahaha... We had fun there but we totally forgot to take pictures. What a pity!

After the celebration, we went to my parents' as they had been eagerly waiting for chubs.

Her own safety helmet

Saturday morning was spent lazing around with me while hubs is at work. We had a great time just hanging out with each other before heading over to my mum's later in the afternoon.

randomly fell asleep among the couch cushions

i like photos of her pursing her lips

playtime with the alphabet playmat - she now knows how to take out the alphabet

As mentioned, after spending the earlier part of the day at home, we trooped over to my mum's later in the afternoon. As we were about to leave, my brother came back with something for chubs. It's a safety helmet for chubs for her crawling and walking activities. It's well-cushioned and is extremely light! Chubs doesn't even feel it on her head and that says alot!

she finally felt it on her head while we were adjusting it :P

Sayang Dolly!

Lately, besides the "cute cute face", she has learnt one more new command and that's "sayang Dolly". My MIL has lately bought chubs a sweet little doll from Cerisi and named her Dolly. She will put it cheek-to-cheek with chubs and say "Sayang sayang Dolly". After a couple of days, whenever we say "sayang Dolly", chubs will hug the doll and put Dolly cheek-to-cheek without fail. We were really surprised at how she had grasped that without a span of 1-2 days and never failed to do that whenever we gave that command.

Now at 9 months old, chubs has learnt some new tricks and new behavior:

• put her hand or a phone to her ear and hum "hello" while also tilting her head to the side
• sayang Dolly on command
• has 4 teeth now - 2 budding and 2 full out
• more clingy to people now and spends lesser time in her walker
• will respond when we say "sayang" or "kiss kiss" by putting her face near us and preparing to be kissed/sayanged

HAPPY 9 MONTHS OLD, ASHLEY!

Lunch at Nando's

My sis had wanted for us to go for Thai lunch at Porn's at Liang Seah street as my parents are fans of Pornsak (artiste and co-owner of the place) but it was closed. As we later found out, it's closed on alternate Sundays. So, we decided to have lunch at Bugis Junction Nando's instead as I've we've been wanting to check that place out. Lovely lunch, I loveeee their peri-peri sauce (as usual, their sauce never fails to perk me up) and can't wait to get back there again!

chubs having a chucklin' good time with my dad and sis and yes, my dad got her ANOTHER tambourine!
