As you turn ONE

 
My Dearest Buddy,
 
Today, you turn 1. It is so amazing to look at you today and realise how much you have grown and changed over the past months. Every milestone you reach and every new experiemce that delights you puts a smile on our faces. Papa and mama just love to watch you explore. There are so much for you to explore these days. You are intrigues by everything. Yet, just one short year ago, you were a little cute, healthy, newborn baby asleep in our arms. A year has brought so much changes, so many smiles and so many tears (good and bad).
 
A year. Seems like such a short amount of time. Yet, in a year, you have gone from the fragile, tiny newborn in our arms to the rambunctious, adventurous one year old handsome buddy you are today. All those milestones, all the changes, all the growing in just one short year. It is like a lifetime condensed into 365 days. In that span of time, our life has forever changed. Nothing, no part of us, will ever be the same. You definitely have make our life more joyous, you fill it with more laughter, and you make our heart smile more than we  ever dreamed possible. We love you more than we ever did before.
 
Happy Birthday, Xavier!
You really are the greatest boy on earth in my book!
 
Love
Papa and Mama

Xavier's First Birthday party updates

Xavier's actual birthday is on 12 Oct 2012 but since that day is a Friday and we are not supposed to celebrate birthday later, we did his birthday party 6 days earlier just last Saturday.
 
Planning a party isn't easy at all. I started planning 1.5months before his party. Lots of arrangement needs to be made. Birthday cake, party favor, decorations and food etc.....
 
 Doing up his party back drop the day before... photo suggested by ahyi
placement of animals suggested by ah gong
 

 Papa hung up the 10 feet long deco at the dinner area
while mama arranging the party favor
 
 
Homemade eggless whole wheat banana cupcakes
 
 
20 counts of animal prints and a set of Lion foil balloons
 
 
 sugarqueen cupcakes and chocolate lollipod on the holder
 
 
This is the spread we prepared for the 25 guests
 
 
Buddy waiting eagerly for more guests to arrive

 Next, is the cake cutting ceremony :

whenever ryan wants to carry him
he will turn away and cry
but that day everything is so perfect
no tear at all
