Double Celebrations

On last Sunday, 11th January we celebrated the full month of lil' Preston and Norelle's 2nd birthday which also falls on the same month (30th January). We had a small gathering from both sides of the immediate family members which comprised of 12 adults, 3 children and 1 baby.

A quick look on the development of lil Preston:

Weight: He is now 5.3kg (he put on 1.74 kg for the past one month, about 54.38g/day - which is 2.5x more than the average weight of 20g/day)

Height: 57cm (he has outgrown the bath tub!!)

Feeding: Paed termed him as the 'Barracuda' eater whereby he eats more than 10x/day

We had a simple yet very tasty nyonya peranakan lunch at BibiChik located at PJ SS2. The food was very good as usual and after that we had a simple 'ceremony' of singing the 'Birthday' song and cake cutting for Norelle. For her 2nd birthday, I ordered a'Barney & Friends' cake for her as well as some cupcakes for Preston's full month from Lau of Heavenly Sweet.

The children were estatic upon seeing the cake and all the adults also went 'Oooohs' and 'Aaaahs' looking at the cake and cupcakes. Norelle also got a 'Barney' doll from her 'Dai Pak' and 'Dai Pak Leong'.

Here are some pictures on the double celebrations:

Lil' Preston @ 3-week young

Ok, things started to change a little. This lil' fella finally kind off awake from his slumber and started to 'realised' that he's now no longer inside mummy's cosy big, fat tummy. He's awake for a longer stretch now. And oh boy oh boy, he can really eat. Apart from waking up, he's constantly looking foor food - in this case, I'm stuck with him. He doesnt like to poo. Every time he does the biz, he will cry. And yes, we checked his bum. No rashes or whatsoever. Maybe the food I ate? Cant help it though but will soon be over. Confinement ends in a week's time :)

He likes to do this 'fish' mouth 'ooooooooooo' so cute

See, cant be sleeping the whole day eh..Must do some workouts

Ok, I'm done with the workouts, and I'm hungry and I want my milk NOW!!!

Norelle @ 23 Mos

Getting more and more talkative. Her T2-phase is still here to stay (please GOD, help us!) Loves her didi a lot. Diet wise, poor as she's on a strike now - T2 again. Vocab wise, superb! Can converse in a full sentence consisting in a few words... And we cant even 'trick' her. She knows. Apart from that, she's still as loveable as she can be :)
