On Baobei's 1st bdae itself (1 Jun 09), together with my in-laws, we brought her to Sentosa.

We had lunch at Sentosa before bringing her to The Underwater World. For her 1st bdae, my MIL prepared abalone porridge for her and let her taste some of the abalone. Whenever we give her new food, she would put on this cute expression where she would close her eyes shut and give us a smile... =) But think we gave her too much 'good' food at 1 shot, wat wif abalone, mushrooms n tofu, her tummy couldnt take it... She became very irritable after lunch n cried non-stop n stuck more to me... It took us a while to pacify her... At The Underwater World, her tummy discomfort must be acting up again cos she became irritable again... Dearie was trying to pacify her and me took over... The moment she passed into my arms, she puked! All over me... onto my hair, my dress, everywhere.... =(( Dearie said she must felt comfortable wif me so chose me as the puking target... Oh well... wat to do... at least after puking, she felt more comfortable n became her normal self again... *Lesson learnt: Dun gif her too much food at one go*

Charlotte in her red Guess dress during lunch... think she looks nice in bright colors.
Like this pic, she's looking and smiling at the camera

2 daes later, on my actual bdae, we brought Baobei to take The Singapore Flyer. We enjoyed having the whole cabin to ourselves and seeing the view... Think Baobei enjoyed herself too!

The night before, Dearie oso got me a surprise bdae cake - Tiramisu cake from BreadTalk. =) Was sleeping wif Baobei whn he suddenly woke me up... got a shock on opening my eyes cos the candle light was a bit bright in the dark room... haha! =) He oso bought me a bouquet of red roses which me found in the backseat of the car the next dae. =) Thanks Dearie, for the 2 surprises!

After having spent 2 yrs 2 mths working in PSD, I decided to leave and stay at home and spend more time with Baobei, as well as to get some rest. =)

My colleagues gave me a farewell with a sweet, pretty cake which I did not have the heart to disfigure... had carefully sliced off the top layer, and it is now sealed in a ziplock bad, lying in my fridge. =)



The kawaii gers oso got me a farewell/bdae gift, which I really treasured a lot. It was a collection of the polaroid pictures we took and they had specially placed on a board with cute stickers for decoration! N I got to keep the one and only polaroid pictures! =) Thanks!!!!!!

Baobei had her 1st bdae party on 23 May 09 at Caribbean@Keppel Bay Function Room. We purposely kept it a small affair and did not invite a lot of people. It had been an exciting 1 year when we saw Baobei grow from one with a relatively boyish face to one with a more girlish outlook now *phew* She had also learnt to say words like 'Dad Dad', 'Pa Pa', 'Ma Ma' (but not as frequently as the former 2 words)... also learnt to wipe her mouth with a handkerchief after drinking her milk, learnt to crawl or creep forward using her butt, clapped hands, shook hands, play 'ET' with us, did Mexican wave, high-five, kiss, hug, pat and made clicking sounds with her tongue... She had also learnt to make sad, happy reactions with her own actions... She loves to look at her own photos and loves Winnie the Pooh and flowers (she would automatically lean forward to hug Winnie The Pooh and as for flowers, she would lean forward to smell them!) =)

We arrived early @ Caribbean in the morning and dropped Baobei off at my in-laws, meaning to let her catch some sleep before the party in the afternoon so that she could enjoy herself.

It was a Winnie The Pooh theme party:

On entering the room, you'll pass through this door curtain.

Letter Banner.

Backdrop.
Birthday cake.

Dearie had also specially made a video of Baobei, which we let it play throughout the party... but don't think anybody noticed it... cos the sound was too soft and was muffled by the excitement of the party going in... haha!



When it was time for cake-cutting, and Dearie had started gathering people around, Baobei, on her own initiative, clapped her hands and aahed spontaneously at the guests, as if thanking them for attending her 1st bdae party! Got us all laughing and clapping with her, to see her spontaneous reaction... Think she must be enjoying herself, seeing so many people and presents... haha!


Baobei had her bdae cake after the cake cutting session... look how happy she was! =)
