Where is Papa?

Poor Cass misses her papa. She woke up at 5.30am yesterday, called out for her papa while mama went to prepare her milk. Today she woke up at 4.30am, again called out to her papa but no response.

Ask her where's papa and she cocks her head to see if he's in the bathroom. Then she remembers she last waved goodbye to him at the door, so she points to the door and made a little wave. :)

Papa's coming home from Malacca tonight!

"Children are like sponges"..so the saying goes

To me, it definitely holds some truth.

Cass picks up hand gestures, facial expressions, sound effects (luckily no bad habits yet!) from those around her. Say 'brush teeth' and she does a up and down motion with her fist holding an imaginary toothbrush, or say 'shower' and she rubs her chest with imaginary soap :)

Although i don't totally agree with the word 'sponge' cos most of the things she does with intuition and thinking too. Take the case of the comb. When i bought her a new one, totally different from the one we used on her 'early' hair, she immediately put it to her head and brush it around. The amazing this is she would switch hands to comb the other side. Now that is defintely not 'sponging' :)

Carsick?

Recently, Cass has been sticking her tongue out or chewing on her finger (guess her gums must be itchy). This makes her gag and likely to throw up if she just had her meal.



Here's a pic where Grandma is holding up a plastic bag for Cass in the car.

Mama and Cass' special moments

Cass' 1st birthday is coming up and Mama is preparing a small party with lots of little children to play with Cass.


After shopping for the party stuff, Mama tried baking a cake...as it's been a long time since she last did one.


For those of you who like 3D pictures, see if you can make out the wordings on the cake. :)



Here's Cass enjoying the breeze and looking at the birds flying by..

Cass' new wardrobe and sleeping net

Mama has been busy picking out and setting up Cass' new wardrobe. The little angel has so many dresses from all the well wishers, it's time she gets a wardrobe of her own. We used to house all her clothes in Mama's dresser, so they were always a little creased. :(



Mama picked out this wardrobe from Ikea and Vic helped to set it up one night. Pasted some bunny and flower stickers to give it a finishing touch.





With the recent spat of dengue fever going around in Singapore, thought it might be a cool idea to put up a net for Cass. Especially since the nights are cooler now with the rainy season, no need for airconditioning at night. With windows open, all sorts of inserts can find their way into the house.




Vic and Jeff also had a hard time drilling a hole in the ceiling for the net. Cos the bit was broken and the good one was still in Jeff's home. Finally it's up and Cass enjoyed tugging at the net and waving it around.
