PlayTime for Darling Cayden

Video Clip of Cayden's walking

Singing Time!

Been singing to Cayenne ever since she is borned... Sing when sleeping, sing when milk time, sing when bathing, sing when feeding her meals etc. Am hoping one fine day that she will sing one song to me.. Been waiting till ... ... ... FINALLY! She sang! But only one sentence and kept repeating. Haha... But I'm very happy! ;)

Cooking & TV Time...

Miss Chef Chua preparing...

Super engrossed on the TV!

Itchy!

Updates on my Cayden boy

Were chatting with Mummy May the other day via MSN that she highlighted to me that maybe Cayden is sick of porridge that was why he rejected the porridge. I didn't realise that, all along he is a "difficult" baby when come to feeding solids. So "sick of porridge" never came across my mind at all. Hee...

Thought of preparing the baked macaroni with minced pork and cheese on Friday, 23th July 2010. Bought the necessary ingredients and guess what. I roughly remember the preparation method & started my preparation. Happily put into oven to baked and just a short while, my Dad was calling for me while I was in the room changing Cayden. He told me it was burnt. WHAT?! My baked macaroni was burnt! ;( I quickly went to the kitchen, true enough, it was BLACK. So disappointing! Quickly prepared cereal for Cayden instead.

While Double Cs were napping, I went to search the receipe online. Oops, my temperature was too high. ;p This lesson taught me to do research properly before jumping into action. Hee...

So Saturday, 24th July 2010, I prepare macaroni again, but in soup. Cayenne ate a small bowl while this Cayden ate probably 10 tiny mouthfuls! Really difficult to feed him. Quickly fed him some milk before I brought him to play slide again. Jann brought Cayenne to slide first while I fed Cayden. This boy upon seeing Jann and Cayenne went out, started making noise and refused his milk, I had to "scold" him sternly. I told him only when you finished your milk, Mummy would bring you to join your sister at the playground. If not, you stayed home. ;p He quickly finished his milk, as promised, brought him to find his sister. And he was having so much fun at the playground.

Jann and I let him walk. He wanted to "run"! I tried to stop him from going to one direction, he could turn his body and changed to another direction to avoid my stopping! Jann commented that I might have a hard time chasing after this boy once he can walk and run. I told Jann jokingly that it is good, take it as a chance to slim down! Haha...

Today, 25th July 2010, I prepared steamed rice with minced pork and pumpkin. Cayden seems to like it! As he is eating rice for the 1st time, I dare not fed him too much, worried might be difficult for his little stomach to digest.

Already prepared a few receipes on hand, probably will try tomorrow and see if this boy likes anot...

23rd July 2010, Friday

Went for our HDB 2nd appointment in the late afternoon, supposed to have dinner and shopping after that. But Dennis received a call from office that he was needed so we have to rush back after the appointment. Abit disappointed as I was looking pretty forward to bring Double Cs out for a nice dinner and shopping but no choice, work more important. If not, who will support us? Hee... Dennis apologised to me but I already expected it as he had told me before in his new job, probably he doesn't have more time for us as he needs to travel and even sometimes weekends will be "burnt". He said he will make up to us once he settled in his new job. Hmm... What "compensation" should I request ah? Haha...

Of cos not. He is the only sole breadwinner. I think he has his stress too as in wanting to make sure we can live comfortably and happy. I'll be a good wife, good mummy. (I hope so!) ;p Cannot be unreasonable. Hee...

As Cayenne didn't want to go back, Dennis didn't wish to spoil her mood, we had a quick bite @ Mos Burger. After that, headed home. Dennis rushed back to work after sending us home. While we were walking to the carpark, Cayenne was still telling me "Don't go back, go "gai gai"". I jokingly told Dennis that Mummy also didn't want to go back. Haha...

Anyway, could tell that Cayenne was kinda of disappointed, I told Cayenne that I would bring her and Cayden to playground after Cayden finished his dinner. We went to play slide again for almost an hour! 3 of us sweated like mad!

It was at the playground that I let Cayden walked barefooted and gradually let go his hand. & he started to walk! I was so happy! Cos since the 1st time he walked on 3rd July 2010, he didn't want to walk, we let him stand up, he won't want to stand and walk, must hold his hand then he would walk. If not, he walked with the walker. Dennis said our son was a timid cow. Haha... SO, I was so excited and happy that Cayden actually let go my hand and walked around the playground! ;) 5 days after his 1st Birthday!

As for Cayenne, she was happy as well, cos she could play her slide so many times, climbing up and sliding down. ;)

Stayed at the playground till 7.45pm and Jann came to meet us after her work. After that, we headed home, sticky, sweaty & smelly! ;p

Announcement! 23rd July 2010, Friday

Mummy is proud to announce to all that her Darling Cayden walks today! Hooray! ;)

Before... & After...

Before...

小光头 Cayden! Haha...

Jann was saying that after Cayden shaved off his hair, he looked more cheeky! I agreed! With hair, he looked so innocent! Haha...

Darling Cayden officially turns ONE! 18th July 2010, Sunday

Rained almost whole day yesterday.

Brought Double Cs out in the evening to Airport for dinner. Decided on Airport as it is spacious, Cayenne could run around. Cayenne was very happy that we were going to the Airport.
Posing before we left home

Bye Bye!

Reached Airport. Cayenne was going "crazy" and started running around. & purposely fell down.

Nowadays so difficult to get her to pose in front of the camera.

See where my Darling Cayenne was... Behind running away!

Had to force Cayenne to wear her jacket. Kept wanting to take it off till i told her "If you don't want, then Mummy gives it to 弟弟." Then she obediently wore it.

Nowadays Cayenne loves to follow suit her brother. Cayden was crawling, she also followed. If I praised Cayden for doing some actions, she will quickly do and want me to praise her! Haha...

Enjoying her favourite fries

Cayden also got to eat the fries! Hee...

Darling Cayen's 1st Birthday Party @ Hort Park on 17th July 2010, Saturday afternoon (Part 2)

Most guests arrived and we decided to do the cake cutting. Got ready the cake & took photos...

Lychee Martini Cake By Pine Gardens. It was really yummy. Thanks to May for recommending this cake! Hee...

The Chua Family

After cake cutting, I was quite excited cos I shouted "It's time for the balloons!" But then, no response from the little guests. Haha... But once i started to distribute the balloons. All wanted more! Lucky I had enough to distribute. Hee...

Enjoying his Birthday Cake. Hope Cayden didn't get drunk. Haha...

This Vicky 阿姨 couldn't wait to feed my boy all the "sinful" food. She 1st fed him the cake, then the dessert 清汤. CORRECT anot, Vicky 阿姨?????? Hee... ;p

Jann was telling Vicky that was enough for Cayden! Haha... Not Mummy control now, it's Jann 阿姨. Also good, cos now I really "relaxed" in terms of their eating. So it is nice that Jann is around to control not only Vicky, but me too!

Cayden loved the dessert alot! Vicky fed him the soup, wow... You could see his "greedy" face, tongue sticked out and wanted more! Haha...

Met May at least 3 times. Shane for the 1st time! Chatted with Shane quite long via MSN, really appreciate they could come and join in the celebration! Both Mummies are very friendly and chatty! Great! I love to chat as well! Hope more meet ups to come! ;)

Double As

Presents from guests. Thanks! ;)

Jann was nice to bring Cayenne out to the park for a short walk while I could catch a breather, took my late lunch & chatted with my friend, Vivian.

Cayenne came back happily and told me she saw fishes... Jann was "complaining" to me that this girl didn't want her to hold her hands while taking the stairs and didn't even allow Jann to stand in front of her while taking the stairs! She even wanted to touch the water... Haha...

Stayed @ Hort Park till 5pm & packed and left.

The Chua Family wants to express our many thanks to all our guests. For joining us in the celebration of Darling Cayden's 1st Birthday. & Thanks for all the gifts and ang baos! ;)

We hope that all our guests enjoyed themselves.

Thanks Jann for being our photographer for the event! ;)
