An Easter-licious Sunday

Last Sunday we went to Delicious at Dua Residency for its' Easter brunch buffet. The setting of the place was very spacious and bright. Love the different shades of blues and white that decorated the whole place. There were 2 floors whereby the buffet-line was laid out at the upper floor and all the kids' activites such as face painting, bounching castle, arts & crafts were located at the lower floor.

There were quite an impressive spread of food ranging from fresh oyster to foie-gras, champagne to desserts. Norelle had great fun at the arts & crafts whereby she did her first 'bunny mask'. It's such a great joy seeing her little hands cutting and pasting and colouring her masterpiece :)

Indeed, it was a great Easter to all of us....

Lil' Preston @ 4-month young

Lil' Preston turns 4-month young today and he's getting cheekier day-by-day. His waking hours stretches longer now and he's eating more. Well, not surprising, judging by his size :)

He is more receptive now and able 'realised' the existence of his hands. He loves to suckles his fingers and fists (which I fondly call them 'french fries' and 'drumsticks'). He is not flipping yet but he loves to be on his tummy. He loves crowds and loves to play with Norelle.

Some 'not-so-new' updates

Was lacking behind in updating both my kiddos' milestones. Work has been crazy since I returned begining of March. Well, good and bad. And plus having to adapt my pumping schedule minto my work routine = crazy! But I am surviving through these 'chaotic times'.

Ok, now move to my kiddos :) Norelle turned 26 months on 30 March and lil' Preston now is 3.5 months. Both of them are fine and growing well respectively. Let's see at some of their milestones:

On Norelle:
- her vocab is getting much much advanced. Her knowledge of some words amazed me from time to time.
- she loves to sing and can complete the entire song on her own such as:
twinkle little star, happy birthday (out of tune), baa baa black sheep,

and some other songs partially like:
yi san yi san liang jing jing (twinkle little star - mandarin version)
liang zhi lau fu (2 little tiger - mandarin)
london bridge is falling down
- can count 1-15
- can recite A-Z
- able to differentiate between alphabet and number
- able (understand) to count some items (as in 1 ball, 2 sweets, 3 cakes, etc)
- able to recognise some colours, red, blue, green, orange (her favourite is green)

On appearance wise, not a big jump as in her weight - she's about 12kg and she has a very small feet . I call her 'cinderella feet' as she can fit into the smallest size for Crocs (C4/5) and is still wearing the same size since last year!!!

On Preston:
- getting much more alert
- still on total breast milk
- loves to talk / sing (he can actually make a tune when he's 'talking')
- loves to smile
- able to reach out his hands and grab things
- able to sleep longer at night (6 hours straight)
- he weighed 7.4kg and 62cm in height
- outgrowed most of his 0-3 mos clothes, he's wearing 6-9months now
- realised the presence of people and able to 'interact' and play
- can sit longer in car seat/stroller (which makes going out easier)

These are some points I can think of right now. Hopefully I am able to post next updates soon :)
