~* Back in BP *~

I'm back in BP because my hubby is travelling. Hope is able to stay till mid Nov. Good to be back home to be pampered by my parents :p :) Especially now with YJ, it is good that there is a few more people to entertain him. He is now too energetic. YJ does not walk yet. My dad is so eager for him to walk and asked my mom to get him awalker. The main problem now is, he doesn't even want to get into the walker :D He is shouting so loud when we try to put him in. Ya. Now, YJ will shout if there's anything that he doesn't like. Bathing him now is like a war. Recently, he will shout each time we try to wash his hair. It is a nightmare when he cry and shout while washing hair. And when we tried to put on clothes for him, he roll on the bed so fast that it is hard to catch him. My mom said this is because I ate too much prawn and crab :D 

~* My Late Grandma *~

I read one of the post of this blogger about her grandma and made me think of my late beloved grandma (my mom's mom). She passed away the same year when I got married (actually it is less than a month after I got married). Each time when I think of her, I still feel pain in my heart and really miss her so much. 

My late grandma took care of me since I was born. I can say I spend more time with her than my mom. Even when I move to BP, she followed us there and took care of me and my brother until I am 15yo. When I was in college, I stayed with her again. She was such a loving grandma and her sudden death is really a big blow to us. Really wish she is still here where I can hold her and "sa jiao" with her :)

~* 小宝贝 First Long Haul Trip *~

So excited. We will be going to Australia for 3-week in December. My cousin is graduating in December, so we follow my aunt there and have a bit of tour (Adelaide - Melbourne - Sydney - Adelaide). My mom will join us later. I know it could be a hassle bringing 小宝贝 there. But a free and easy holiday should be fine I think. "fingers crossed" :)

I am now busy planning what to bring especially 小宝贝 milk powder. I am not sure whether I can bring in milk powder as the custom clearance in AU is very strict. I have persoanlly seen once that the officer throw away the milk powder as milk product is not allowed to be brought in to the country. Need to check this with the embassy also. Not plannig to buy new clothes here if it is not enough or not fit anymore. It will be fun shopping for 小宝贝 in AU ;) When come to anything for 小宝贝, I am very paranoid. Told my mom that I wanted to bring rice also :p Being scolded by her. So this idea was dropped. 

I am now counting the days ............

~* 小宝贝 's Little Aunt Bday *~

小宝贝 's little aunt (which was one day older than him) celebrated her bday last Sunday @ A&W. Love her soft pink bday cake :)

The highlight of the evening was the appearance of the big bear.

小宝贝 happily play with the bear but I think he dreamt of it in the middle of the night and cried out so loud for about 10mins. And the next morning, we showed him the pic of the bear and he quickly brushed it away :D

~* 小宝贝 1st Bday *~

Today we celebrated 小宝贝 1st bday with both side of the families :) Nothing fancy just Chinese dim sum buffet. HL was helping with the pics and I don't have it with me now. I only have the bday cake pic. 

Love the 3 toy cars on top of the cake. They are the 3 toy cars that 小宝贝 normally play with and the sugary toy cars are more expensive than the real one. I keep them in the fridge now for memory :p

~* 小宝贝 @ 11.5-Mth *~

小宝贝 looks mature for 11.5mths hor? Real cheeky now. I think his first word is not mommy nor daddy. It is Jack. Each time we show him The Jack & Jill book, he wil say "Jak , Jak, Jak" :D I am so envy of Jak :D

~* The First 2-day *~

Tired. Was really tired even though I am at home :p 
First, my maid has left. Second, the part time maid I have send back to help my in laws because their new maid has ran away this morning :( I have to admit that I am not a good mother. I have never wash the milk bottles. I only supervise :p Sounds like my previous post - Project Manager :D Yesterday was the first time I washed all the bottles. Feel so "cacat" :p And I have also never bath my son alone. Even though with my mum's help, still stress because my son  cannot stop moving. 
A lot of things on the mind need to be done ... boil the water, wash clothes, keep the house clean, etc. Definitely need to go out on the weekend :p Things will be better once I familiarise with all the housework, I hope :)
