Dear Isabelle | 15 months


Dear Isabelle

Whoa 15 months baby.  You are developing at such a rapid speed we almost can't keep up!  It's been so amazing witnessing you learn new stuff everyday.


You continue to sleep through the night which we are ever so thankful for.  Although since the clocks went forward two weeks ago, that somehow has thrown your routine out of the window.  You refuse to be put down at your usual bedtime of 730pm.  You just want to talk!  You start blabbering in your baby language and you start charming us by being so happy and giggly that we don't have the heart to put you down in your cot.  Except last night where mummy was so tired and had no energy to play with you and daddy needed to do some work, so we hard heartedly put you in your cot where you cried so bitterly and in between sobs you kept saying "no. no. no. no" in protest.  You couldn't see us but we were smiling as you are really starting to tell us how you feel!

Developmental wise, wow baby girl, you are learning fast!  You mimic sounds of the lion ("rawwrrr" with both arms high in the air), monkey ("hooo hoo hoooo"), cow, sheep and can even sign "cat".  You know where your head is, your nose, ears, and can even sign "washing my face".  You started to learn how to scoop food up so these days you mostly refuse mummy feeding you at dinnertime because you want to do it yourself.  Little Miss Independent!

It has mostly been very endearing for us looking at how fast you are growing.  Seriously, can time slow down?  You know that wearing shoes means going out of the house and the other day mummy asked you to bring your shoes and sit on the step to wait for mummy and you did!  When the doorbell goes off in the evening, you will always pause at what you are doing and mouth to me "papa", which you are right most of the time.

You are growing up so well Isabelle.  We pray that you continue to do so, and always remember we love you so very much.

Jubilee Weekend | Afternoon Tea Party

http://www.thediamondjubilee.org/ Today is the end of the Jubilee celebrations and how better to end it off than to have an afternoon tea party in the company of friends, while watching the celebrations on our TV.  It has been quite an emotional afternoon, in the good sense of course.  I don't think I've ever seen Queen Elizabeth on TV (and heard the national anthem God Save the Queen) more than these 3 days combined, but this Jubilee weekend has made me grew to love and admire this lady.  She is 86 and reminds me so much of my own granny, and her strength is amazing.  Imagine being sworn in as queen at the age of 26.  (I mean, what was I doing when I was 26?)  On Sunday when she and Prince Philip went onboard the Spirit of Chartwell boat to watch the River Pageant, it was cold and windy but they stood throughout the 3 hours event.  It was said she was offered some hot tea and a seat, which she both said no to.  I love my grandma but I have to say I don't think

Sleep, baby sleep

I had an idea to blog about Isabelle's sleep behaviour the other day.  Before having Isabelle, I had not the slightest idea how big the sleep topic is for a baby, and now a toddler.  I merely assumed that babies will sleep, no matter what, right?  Because they are tired right?  No, of course not.  Isabelle showed me how much she could and can fight sleep even when she is tired.  As a new mum, I did not know how to read her sleepy signs, and more often than not, she would be overtired by the time I catch her signs and by then she is cranky and crying.  Oh the tears.  From Isabelle and mummy. The early months Sleep has always been an issue for me when Isabelle was born.  She cried non stop every evening for hours on end, and we had no idea what to do with her.  Colic was the word most used on such babies, and everyone comforted us that this difficult phase would be over within 3 months.  I still remembered uttering "3 months?!" under my breath.  Not 3 weeks?

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the role of Monsieur Bertrand, a f
