Charis' Eyeores

I'd been trying to influence Charis in developing a love for Eyeores just like me. Since she was 1 month old, I'd been placing an Eyeore soft toy at her bed so that she can look at it everyday, & hopefully she'll grow to love it. Then I won't have to buy so many soft toys for her anymore because she can just inherit all of mine! Haha, save $$ =)

Most of my Eyeores (some of them are not in this picture because they are too big to be displayed around my house, so they ended up in my storeroom). Hopefully she can inherit all of them soon.

Her 1st inherited Eyeore. I chose this because it's small & colourful enough for her.

The 1st Eyeore I bought for her.

Her 1st Xmas gift (from Lily).

Last Sunday, she grabbed the Eyeore that Lily gave her by the long ear & held it face to face with her. She then smile & talk to the Eyeore! How interesting. Since she like it so much, we decided to let her bring out her Eyeore for that day!

The next thing she likes to talk to is the television! She must have thought that the television is "talking" to her, so she simply responds back... Haha!

Charis has a thing for lights & television (Yes, television! My gosh, I hope she won't grow up to be a TV addict!) So to give her a treat, we brought her to Orchard Road on 22nd Dec to look at the Xmas lights up.

Of course, she wouldn't know how to appreciate the beauty & she won't even have the slightest memory of the experience, but nevertheless, as parents... we'll do anything to give her even 1 min of happiness :) Orchard Road was so crowded on a weekday night! James simply can't stand the crowd, but for Charis' sake, the sacrifice was worth it! :)

There was lots of beautiful Xmas trees everywhere! Charis simply adores the lights! Her eyes were lit up with curiousity & she was looking everywhere! I love the streets lit up too. I think this year's theme is nice, filling the streets with Xmas ambience in the air!

There was masquerade of Roman soldiers, 3 wise men, & folks etc. parading from ION all the way to Takashimaya Square, & we eagerly took pictures with them. I think Charis could sense my excitement because she was sleeping before the photo taking but woke up immediately when taking pictures with them, & then fell asleep almost immediately after the photo taking. There were street performances everywhere, so it was really noisy. But trust her, she can always sleep even in the midst of a storm - typical CHC baby trademark!

Despite our tired feets & the amazing crowd, we managed to walk from ION Orchard all the way to Plaza Singapura. Our conclusion at the end of the day - bringing a baby out can be so troublesome & challenging! But it was all worth every sweat! :D

Classy Nursing Room

I was at Forum shopping mall when I chanced upon this nursing room. It's so spacious & classy! I can only manage to take the photo of half of the nursing room because a mom was changing her baby on the another side. Mummys can draw the curtains down for more privacy while changing her baby. There's even nice sofas for Daddys to rest their tired feet while waiting.

Hawaii Babe!

My in-laws bought this hawaii suit from Penang on their holiday trip. I wanted to reserve it for CNY, but I couldn't resist the temptation to dress her up...

Well... she's getting a little impatient at all those photo taking sessions... she's beginning to frown, sulk & pulling her hair! Haha!

1st Dress!

Jean (my colleague) bought some new tops & dresses for Charis on her shopping trip to Macau. I was so exited to take the pictures of Charis wearing her 1st dress in her life! :D Haha!

I thought it would be too big, but seems like she can wear it already :) So sweet! She looks more grown up in this dress :)

Daddy Spoils Charis

Whenever Daddy is home with Charis... this is how she behaves...

Daddy spoilt her :'( The moment she sees Daddy, she wants to be carried & "sayang". She wasn't crying so loud initially, but the moment she sees Daddy getting up, she immediately cry louder to make him heart pain so that he would carry her. Clever girl.

She knows Mummy is not going to spoil her, but is more focus on taking video of her. Haha! She gave up crying. She can stop crying almost immediately without any tears. Manipulative...
