Buddy @ 10mths 2wks 5days

Still remember when buddy was a newborn a lot of people told me "enjoy every moment, they grow up so fast." Someone even told me "all they will want to do 6 months from now is get away from you!" I know those people had good intentions but comments like that really stressed me out as a brand new mom. I felt like my sweet baby was going to be taken from me faster than i would know it and in a blink of an eye his babyhood would be over. I wish i could go back and tell myself to relax. It is indeed a cliche to say that his first 10 months of life has flown by and in some ways it has. But we have collected so many memories along the way and I have no regrets. I feel so blessed to get to spend a lot of our time with buddy. We are not overly stressed. We are not rushed. We get to treasure our time together and that is a huge luxury which I know alot of people don't have. I'm grateful for it :) I do miss things when he was smaller, but each new stage is fun in a different way, seeing your baby grow is exciting and wonderful! We'll always be there for him!

 

Currently buddy:

• stand alone for a second or two and collapses with a bump
• walk while holding on to one hand
• He is trying to say words. He keeps saying Mama, papa, ah ma and mumu but I'm still not 100% sure if he is intentionally saying that to us. I think it might still be part of his babbling. But I'm excited for real first words to start.
• recognise new words (dog, car, banana, strawberry)
• did his first 2 baby steps

After weeks of googling, finally decided on the cake, buffet, party favor and decorations.

I will be doing cupcakes plus a 6inch cake topper...

6 inch double layer marble cake with piping accents from soonjasbakery
I have ordered a petite 3 tier square cupcake stand from cupcaketree

Cupcakes with animal toppers

 

 

6 inch fondant cake

 

 

cupcake stand

 

 

Will start decorating my stand with spray painting and edges with ribbon once I received it! So excited :) The final out work will look something like this but not as fanciful

 

 

 

I have also started experimenting baking eggless whole wheat strawberry cupcakes

mum and hubby gave a thumbs up for it but not the buttermilk frosting

should I invest in the proper tools for the classic swirl??? 

 

 

 

Next post, will updates on the buffets and deco :)

buddy and his turtle float

Although Buddy is not talking yet but he sure understand quite abit. He knows the names of some object and can follow simple instructions and directions. If he hears certain words often enough, these words will eventually become of his vocabulary. That's what we believe in!

New words he learn this week - tummy and kiss

Nowadays, he will show off his routines in front of familiar people like throwing a kiss to us, ahma and now even to his favourite toys. Whahaha!

 

I'm now an Angel :)

Woohoo! Finally received my Angel credit card from Victoria Secret

Thanks Hubby for applying it for me :)

It also comes with a high value coupon book for new card holder
so happy! Time to add more designs to my VS collections! WHAHAHA

Hope there will be good sales on this coming Labour day, 3rd September
 I'm so excited!!!!

 

Buddy and his new shoe

The shoe is ultra light and comfortable, I like!

buddy and his walker

Buddy finally knows how to control his walker

He will slow down when he is moving too fast
He will stop and move a little backwards when there is an obstacle
He will squat and sit when he is about to fall
He's able to walk one big round with his walker, now there will be no stopping him




Buddy and his sofa

Lately buddy is trying to crawl onto the sofa but failed despite his several attempts

Ah ma bought him a personal bean bag sofa

this is buddy @ walmart trying out his new chair

See, he likes it!
