Happy New Year 2008!

Welcome 2008! Its the first day of the Brand New Year, Jovann. May you enjoy good health and happiness whole year round, and may everyone be blessed with health, wealth and good tidings!

This morning, around 9am, Mommy slowly awakened and wondered what time is it and how come you have not made noise. I opened my eyes, and saw that you are already standing in the corner of your cot, looking at us from beside the pillow blocking our bed. I quickly closed my eyes, but it was too late, you had already seen me awake, so you started calling out already hehehe. :) So I sat up and gave you a smile and a morning greeting, and you called for us to carry you out. Its so cute that you were standing quietly there waiting for one of us to wake up hehee. :) Rarely do you do that coz most of the time you will be crying and calling out to wake us up to attend to you. Maybe you know its the New Year holiday. :)

We brought you to King Albert Park Macdonald's to have breakfast, as Mommy wish to stock up groceries for your meals. Experience from the West Coast outing made me prepare breakfast in advance for you (cooked oats porridge with stewed pears and yogurt on the side) and brought it out with us.

Macdonalds staff are so nice. Daddy was parking the car while Mommy went down to Macs to buy the bf before it ends at 11am. When carrying the tray and you away from the table, the cashier was worried if I can manage but I assured her I can. When I turned away, I passed by a Macs lady cleaning near the bottom of the stairs. She saw me and quickly gave me a hand though I said its okie. She took the tray from me and wanted to help me carry upstairs. Just then Daddy arrived. But it warms me inside that the aunties are so helpful. :)

You were entertained by the thermos flask while you eat.




Daddy put on his cap on your head. Its Mommy's turn to have her breakfast.


Daddy asking you who is Jovann Teo.






Later, we went to Cold Storage downstairs to stock up your groceries and ingredients. Daddy was loitering around the fresh meat section when he suddenly felt like cooking dinner for tonight. So he bought 2 steaks. Hehehee, Yeah! Mommy you kou fu le!

Today, you opened the remaining 3 of your presents at home. You have so many presents this year that you are still opening them on New Year Day! Today, you opened the FP Doodle Pro set, then the Bath Propeller Toy, and finally the Board book on Jesus. We helped you with tearing open the wrappers. So fun! coz you now know how to tear open presents if the paper is easily torn. :) and you do it with such a kaypoh expression on your face hehee.

Opening your Doodle Pro.


Daddy I can do it myself!




The Board book.






Mommy Daddy decided to try let you skip your morning nap since you don't appear tired, and let you nap at 2pm later so that you can wake up at 4pm and be put to bed early today.

You had dinner at 6.30pm. Mommy fed you (porridge cooked in pork/sweet corn stock with beef, broccoli and tofu) while Daddy prepared our New Year Day dinner! *SLURP*. the cooking scents from the kitchen is so tantalising!

Finally done! Our New Year's Day Dinner.
...Tenderloin Beef braised in red wine and garlic, grilled to perfection, served on a bed of sauteed spinach......With potatoes and baby carrots baked in cheese on the side...


We had this with red wine.




It tastes even better than it looks!

Mommy is so proud of Daddy. Jovann, are you? :)
After dinner, we played with you for around 20mins before we decide its time for early bed tonight (around 8.10pm). During this 20mins, you are your usual kaypoh self, toddling all over the house on your newfound walking skills, paying visits to the kitchen, to the bedrooms and all over the house.

Paying your token visit to the kitchen.


Daddy just shoo-ed you out.


For some reason, you kept holding your new bath propeller toy to your ear....is it because it resembles the shape of a ear thermometer????? Its such a cute sight hehee.




Mommy kept grabbing you up to kiss you. I think I am drunk from the red wine.




Struggling from Daddy's grasp coz you wanna watch one of your favourite commercial on TV (the Cold Storage advertisement)


see your kaypoh face??


HAPPY NEW YEAR JOVANN! Hope every DAY IS BLESSED, HEALTHY, JOYFUL AND FILLED WITH LOVE AND WARMTH FOR YOU ALWAYS ALWAYS!
