Moving on...

Hello Hello.. we are still alive! Thought I should update a bit since it shall no longer be "Atrina Journey" soon. We are bidding farewell to Atrina in about 2 months' time. Our new house will be at The Topiary. More updates on our moving/reno/new location soon  :)

Children's Day 2012



Children's Day is on every 1st Fri of October instead of 1st October now. On this day, XY stayed home with didi and me. We had ramen lunch at Ajisen, a Barney kiddy ride afterwards. Right before heading home, she had a slice of cake of her choice to bring home. A simple day but I think she enjoyed staying home with us :)

宇轩's Firsts

He got his first haircut at the neighbourhood hairdresser and his first 2 lower front teeth :)

To a parent, the happiest that could be is: Your children live is peace and harmony.
Nothing else matters.

The family went out for mooncake shopping. Very tiring indeed!!
As usual big sis requested to be carried by Daddy cause lil bro was using her pram haha.
So Dad's solution is put big sis in the pram and carry lil bro. Much lighter!

 

Teething fever

He's so tired he fell asleep while holding on to his "toys".

 

My kids

It's sheer bliss when they get along together well :D

Initial semi solid trial

Started him when he was about 5.5months old. He was fine with pumpkin, pear and peach puree. Then all of a sudden, he rejects all kinds. Very frustrated so I decided to stop him for a while. And this "while" has been ongoing for a long time. at 8.5months he's still a 100% milk baby!



Pumpkin puree was yummy...

Precious moments

Firstly, very sorry that my pics are jumbled up and not according to sequence. Somehow I forgotten which should come first.

These are the scenes of how my elder is accepting her younger sibling. I cannot help but to tear a little. It is very amazing when it happened right before my eyes. No sense of jealousy, no throwing of tantrums, no badmouthing of her younger brother. Well done my little girl. No one can ever replace the place of her in my heart. With the addition of the little one, it just makes my heart grow bigger to accomodate another lovely child.







The first few days. She let didi use her toddler bed and revert back to her cot. How sweet is that!













 



She learns to show affection for her younger brother.

One of those days she stayed at home with us. Quite chaotic but nothing I can't handle.



1st shopping trip with 宇轩 at 2months+

It's hard. It's tiring. But I finally plucked up enough courage to leave the house. Went to Plaza Singapura for lunch and some shopping. That was the day I realised the nursing facilities in that mall sucks big time. Perhaps I am too used to Orchard Road mall style. Private, clean, well-maintained, stylish nursing rooms with comfortable seats, hot water dispenser, ergonomic diaper changing area. The best ones (in my humble opinion) are at Taka, Paragon and Isetan. Hands down hands down. It's a stretch to call that 1 and only miserable small room in the whole of the mall a "nursing room". Needless to say eversince the last visit in May, I haven't been back at all. 



Some buys from Mothercare. He still refused the pacifiers.





Pampers on offer 3 for $36 I think





1 of my favourite shops these days: Daiso









He doesn't like to sleep in the cot
