When Charis gets bored...

This is what happens when Charis gets bored...

(Notice her facial expression & body language!)

Good girl! Trying very hard to still manage a smile for the camera :)

Finally, a FAMILY outing!!

It had been a busy busy month for me, so this post had been long overdue.

We finally had a chance for a family outing (just on our own) after a LONG LONG time! (I think the last time was last year Xmas!) Oh gosh, how we have shortchanged Charis! Besides bringing her to church & parents-in-law visits every weekend, we don't really have other spare time to bring her out for an family outing, so you can imagine how excited we were :)

She saw this advertisement poster at the MRT station & kept smiling & talking to it. This is an indication of a successful advert.

Harborfront MRT station is a huge advertisement space for Zoo, Night Safari & Jurong Bird Park. I love this space a lot with all the light & sound effects, but it seems ineffective though, because Charis was in the least interested in them...

Charis' favourite playmates: Eyeore + sterling wheel set attached to pram (so tomboy right?!)

Riding Bike!

Charis is riding a bicycle! Can u believe it?

Haha, she's just happily posing for the picture la!

It seems that Charis had a growth spurt in the past 2-3 weeks. She has grown "taller" & has developed much better motor skills. Her face even looks more "mature" now.

Although Charis smiles & laughs easily at people she's familiar with, she also now throws tantrums whenever she's angry; when she sees us eating & she can't have our food; when she wants to grab my hp but I refused to let her have it; when she wants to grab her soft toy but it is out of her reach... etc. Sometimes we wonder why is her temper worst than James & mine combined... did she inherit our good genes of good temper?? I hope she did as time will show.

This pic was taken on my mom-in-law's birthday 2 weeks ago. Although it was taken only 2 weeks ago, Charis seems to have "grown up" quite a lot in her looks & even grown taller!

Hip Kids Boutique

I took these pictures in Gavin's car on the way to church! He & Vanessa had been such a blessing to us, driving our whole family weekly to church, fellowship over dinner, & back home again.

Charis is making funny faces. I realised today that she kept sucking her lips the past week even when she's not sleepy because she was growing teeth! She has 2 teeth at her lower gums now! So fast hor?

If you think the headband that Charis is wearing in these pics is super gorgeous (which it is!), please do patronise the store at http://www.hipkids-boutique.com/. She specialises in headbands, & handmade each & every one of them personally!

Although Charis was wearing one that seems a little big for her, I really love it! The band is neither tight nor loose on her head, thus causes no pressure on her small head, which is of utmost importance to me. Also, it is so sweet & easy to match with her tops. I'm so into headbands & I bought 6 of them for Charis before HipKids Boutique came into existence, but my favourite one is still this one.

In case you are thinking I'm getting some kind of advertising fees, I'm definitely not :)

Hearty Laughs!

This is how Charis laughs when she plays!
