Haircut

Getting a haircut is often, if not, always a traumatic experience for young kids. So when we decided to give Isaac his much needed haircut, we're prepared for the worst - a screaming and crying kid, and a pair of helpless parents! We were even more convinced that will happened when we arrived at the salon to witness a 3-year old boy screaming and crying at the top of his voice. Almost like he was being abused by the hair stylist auntie! While we were waiting for our turn, we both took a deep breath and brace ourselves for the impending 'trauma'. But surprisingly, Isaac took this whole haircut episode pretty well though he seems a little apprehensive! He even waved at the hair stylist auntie - Auntie Eva before she began. He seemed to find it pretty amusing, kept wanting to check out what Auntie Eva is doing to his head! He only gave a small cry when Auntie Eva cut his 'side burn' but was then easily distracted by a sheet of Barney stickers. And voila! Isaac has got a new haircut, the second after his first when he was 2 month old.


Here's how the whole haircut episode went...


Mummy, are you sure I've got to get a haircut?


But I like my hair like this!


You're sure I will look better after my haircut?

A happy boy with his new haircut!

Where is your duckie?

Never underestimate the ability of a 1 year old. It started out with us wanting to tease Isaac by placing his duckie toy amidst his other toys (hoping that he couldn't find/see it) and asking him," Isaac, where is your duckie?" and gosh! He really knows which is which and picked up his duckie! We couldn't believe our eyes! Didn't want to believe that it's just pure coincidence, we placed another toy -his car and asked him to pick and he could! And then followed by his ball, and he managed to pick it out too! He really knows his stuff! Can't tell how proud I was at that moment, it's like my little baby has grown up and has began to learn and understand his surroundings and stuff. Can't wait for more of such 'surprises' that Isaac will spring on us!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Isaac officially turned 1 today and is now a toddler!

Yesterday, he had his 1st birthday bash at the Children's Playroom, The Grassroots Club and had a super de duper good time!

Here are some shots to share...

It's finally over - taking the last shot at the ball pit before we leave...

After his big bash, Isaac hit the sack once we reached home while daddy & mummy were busy unwrapping his pressies!

A big thank you to all the aunties & uncles for your generous gifts and ang baos!

Counting down to Isaac's 1st Birthday!

In another 9 days, Isaac will be turning 1! It's amazing how time seems to go by in a twinkle without you knowing. Sometimes it hard for me to believe that just less than 12 months ago Isaac was born! And now, this little rascal of mine is turning 1 and will soon be walking and shouting for Mummy. :)

For the past 1 month we have been busy preparing for his big 1 bash! Trying to finalise the venue, food, cake, deco, treats and guest list. It was almost like planning for my second wedding! hahaha... it was certainly hard work and we are also not sure how much of that will he remember but we hope he will enjoy himself and the attention on his big day! As Isaac is the youngest and latest addition to our extended family, naturally he's everyone's 'precious' (for now, till the next favour of the month comes along! ha) and they too are also very excited about his big day! Auntie C has been asking for details about his bash since end of May so that she could schedule her Sunday off to attend his party! So sweet of her :)

While the Big 1 Bash will only take place next Sunday, 20 July, Isaac has already received a couple birthday pressies from early well-wishers! Here's a peek to his pressies...

The Fisher-Price Stride to Ride Walker (hand-carried all the way from Bangkok!) from Auntie 'Superglue'...

Step 2 Snuggle Bug from the ever-generous Po Po (took us to 3 Toys R Us before we found it!)...

Playskool Shoot n' Score Basketball from Auntie I (aka Godma)...


A big thank you to all for the nice pressies! Isaac will certainly be looking forward to more on next Sunday at his party! ;P

Isaac looks forward to see all (you know who you are!;]) at his 1st Birthday Bash on next Sunday...
Date: 20 July 08
Time: 6pm
Venue: The Grassroots Club, Children's Playroom, Level 2
190 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 (next to Yio Chu Kang MRT Station)

See you then!

Isaac & Keane

Yesterday Isaac finally went swimming again after a dry spell due to the recent HFMD spike. This time round, he had a playmate with him, Keane! Both boys had a good time in the water playing along side with each other. It's a pity we didn't managed to take any photos at the pool but we will certainly do when we meet up for the next swim!

After the swim, we proceeded to Baby Isisah's first month celebration. We didn't managed to capture any shots of him as he was asleep the whole time but we did managed to get a shot of the 2 boys.

Isaac with daddy & mummy

After a while, Isaac was so exhausted that he felt asleep at 7pm! We had no choice but to make our way back before the party ended. It was certainly a fun but tiring day for Isaac. :)

Wedding at Warren

Last Saturday Isaac attended his first wedding dinner at Warren Country Club. Seriously, the food wasn't fantastic and Isaac also didn't managed to sit through the whole dinner so we spent most of our time outside taking pictures! Check them out!

Isaac and his funny grin

The happy family

Finally a shot with 3 of us smiling!
