Kids’ day celebration

Last week jie jie and I had a great time in the life group. We celebrated Kids day -to celebrate God’s blessing of children (us) to our parents and baby dedication!

There’s games, face painting and cupcakes decorating for us the kids at the start of the party. Of course I can’t enjoy any of these yet but Jie Jie enjoyed herself very much. Look, mummy had jie jie’s face painted with flowers. Is it nice?

It was my baby dedication after the yummy barbie lunch. There were actually 6 babies dedicated to the Lord during the party besides me. Daddy mummy thank God for His blessing to have me in the family. They dedicated me back to the Lord,  praying that I will serve the Lord and love Him in my whole life.

Sitting on mummy’s lap waiting for my turn to be prayed for.

Now our turn!

Pastor Daljit said hi to jie jie.

Pastor Gurmit prayed for me. See how concentrate I listen to her prayer.

During the prayer Ps Gurmit prayed that I will bring the music that God put in my heart to the people around, mummy wonder what’s that mean…mmm…

I was given a certificate to remember this important day. Pastors also gave daddy mummy a nice box of chocolate as a celebration.

 

Auntie Jo helped to organise the whole celebration. She is so nice to even prepared party pack for each of us! There’s chocolate (which goes to daddy mummy), bubble blower, craft, bouncing ball and a hand made bracelet of our name!!! Thank you auntie Jo for all your effort, we love you!!

That’s me with mummy during the party.

I enjoyed my day so much. Thank you everyone and thank you daddy mummy for dedicating me to the Lord. I will grow to love Jesus more and more each day, to bring His joy to the people around!!!

谢谢婆婆!! (Thank you po po)

Popo came over to Melbourne 2.5 months ago to help up mummy in the house work and taking care of us. Time flies, it has been 2.5 months and we just sent “popo” off to the airport to fly back to Penang.

We had a very wonderful time together with “po po” these few months. Everyday I will “instruct” po po to play with me. I will “dress” “po po” up with all my toy accessories and play “shopping” with her.

Popo will help mummy keep in eyes on me so that I will not “disturb” mei mei when mummy needs to do some stuff. Popo also loves to give “mei mei” warm loving cuddles, and massage “mei mei” with the “ru yi oil” to ease the gassiness in “mei mei” tummy.

Afternoon and dinner time “po po will cook very yummy meals for all of us to eat. As a result of that we all have been gaining weight.

Popo also help daddy mummy clean the house and garden, do laundry everyday. However, I will dirty the floor with my snack and meal every time I have my “mam mam”. Popo is very patience to clean it up again.

These few months I also learned a few mandarin and hokkien words from popo. Now I know how to say “mai” and “ai” (hokkien), “yao” and “bu yao” (mandarin) instead of “no” and “yes”. I also know how to say “bao bao” when I want anyone to carry me". Apart from that when popo speaks to me in mandarin sometimes I know how to answer her with the correct answer.

Thank you po po for flying all the way here to help taking care of us and spend time with us. We miss you so so much! We hope that you can come back very soon to play with us again and accompany us.

快点回来找我们好不好? 我们好想念你！！

Wow!!!! My 3rd Mother’s Day celebration with my mummy! I am so happy. What makes is even special I get to celebrate this year with “po po”. Not only that with a new addition to my family, “mei mei”, it is so much exciting! My daddy planned a day earlier to avoid the crowd and also pricey restaurant on mother’s day.

Daddy brought us to a nice seafood restaurant at Port Melbourne for lunch. Thank you daddy for taking some time to look out a restaurant that is child friendly and spacious. It’s quite a nice restaurant with the view of the pier. The food are very yummy too!

Reading the menu getting ready to order

I have my own plate of spaghetti Bolognese from the kid’s menu. However mummy and daddy were shocked when the meal arrived. It looks like an adult portion. From the photos you can see how much I enjoyed my meal!!

Daddy’s Thank You Message :

Thank you to my wife for being the mother to my both children. You are a strong woman and without you around, I wouldn’t have any clue on taking care of my children. You are truly an inspiration.

Thank you to my mother in law for being around when Rennice was born. You have helped a lot. The yummy cooking, tending to Esrene, the clean-ups in the house and garden but most importantly just being around.

What I can do…

Hi this is Rennice here. I am 1 month old now. Few days before I turn 1 month old, mummy took a video of me after daddy bath me…see what I can do now

The midwife told daddy mummy I am a feisty newborn, you reckon??




Recently daddy borrowed a playmat keyboard from toy library for Jie Jie (Esrene). So Jie Jie has been into this activity in front of the keyboard ….

Mummy said Jie Jie looks more like a conductor in training but I think Jie Jie's sense of rhythm is pretty good.  Bravo Jie Jie! 

Blessed Full Moon Rennice!

Time flies! Rennice already one month old!!

She is growing very well within this one month. She has gained 1kg and grown 6cm taller since then. We really thank God for His protection upon Rennice, keep Rennice healthy. Thank God for the good milk supply for Ida and thank God for mother who’s here to cook delicious meal for us everyday, help us with housework and keep in eyes on Esrene so that Ida can have more rest in between, which helps a lot with milk supply as well.

We didn’t really have a party to celebrate the full moon. To be fair, we did the same small celebration for Rennice like we did for Esrene. Last Saturday we asked mother to do some ang ku kueh, chicken curry and nasi kunyit, which is the full moon delicacy of Malaysia to celebrate Rennice’s full moon. and distribute the food to some close friends around. Thank you “po po” for working so hard at night to do the kueh, and woke up so early in the morning (4am) to start doing the nasi kunyit and curry chicken.

Mother working hard at night to get the Kueh ready for tomorrow

 

Yummy ang ku kueh, curry chicken and nasi kunyit by the “si fu” from Penang!!

The full mon delicacy all pack ready to be collected by friends

On the actual day, we ordered our favourite fruit salad cake and had our own “cake cutting” celebration at home.

Esrene was the happiest on the actual day celebrate as she get to eat her favourite cake! We took some family photos before cutting the cake.

After every shot Esrene will ask to eat the cake, this shows how excited she is! She was also the one who helped her sister to cut the cake!

We pray that Rennice will continue to grow healthy and grow up to be a God fearing lady who will shine for God.

I am two!!!

I am two years old already!!! On my birthday morning, mama called to wish me happy birthday. See how happy I talked to mama.

As the weather was cold and wet that day, daddy mummy took me to the indoor playground in the morning to play to let me enjoy my special day. There’s so many things there to play, slides, car, jumping castle…

I even play this table game with daddy! (don’t know what’s that called)

I enjoyed myself there so so much!!!

Before we leave the playground daddy bought me my favourite baby chino to drink as well.

You can see how much I love my baby chino

On Saturday daddy mummy gave me an even biggest surprise.

In the morning, a few of my little friends came over to our house with pressies for me. Actually Daddy mummy organised a very small bbq birthday party for me!!

After that mummy brought all of us to our backyard and show me the birthday pressie that daddy mummy bought for me.

It is a chubby house!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually this is the combination pressie from daddy mummy ,Yea Yea, Ma Ma, Pak Pak & Po Po (with their angpow money that they gave  me for birthday pressie). Mummy found this beautiful chubby house in ebay with a very good price. It took daddy a few days to assemble the whole house for me.

I was so puzzle when I saw the chubby house. I walked around the house for a few times before I decided to open the door and enter the house. I couldn’t believe I finally got a chubby house to play with!!!

Inside the chubby house there’s a table with a lot of food toys and 2 chairs as well! Mummy got them from ebay as well with very cheap price under the used items. And guess what, there’s even a door bell for my chubby house. I had a great time playing with my friends in the chubby house.

 

Of course I enjoy my first bbq food as well with my little friends.

Thanks to the great cook, daddy!!

After the yummy food, it is cake cutting time!!!

Mummy just delivered so she did not have time to bake my birthday cake. Instead she ordered a very yummy fruit salad cake for my birthday. The bear bear on top of the cake was done by mummy few months before. This is my favourite bear bear which I have to put besides on bed before I sleep!

I love my cake and look so tentatively on it when everyone was singing birthday song for me.

 

After blowing the candles daddy helped me to cut the cake.

See how much I enjoyed my birthday cake. It is yummy-licious!

 

Today I managed to enjoyed a lot of food that I haven’t try before – cake, bbq burger, cookies etc and all of them are so so yummy!!!

After this, I get to open my birthday pressie!! I have two beautiful dresses and two nice toys from my friends. I love opening my gifts, unwrap the pressie and see the surprise inside!!

Thank you auntie uncles, all my little friends and most of all, daddy mummy, po po and mei mei for giving me such a wonderful birthday party!!!

I enjoy myself a lot!!
