Celebrating Giselle's Baby Shower

How time flies, just a while ago Giselle was born and here we are celebrating her full month. We start preparing for this big day a few days ahead... The confinement lady Ah Ping helped to cook up a storm... while Mummy and Daddy who are no great cooks helped with the packing of the red eggs the night before.


WE PACKED A TOTAL OF 45 BAGS

On the morning of big day, Mummy was tasked with cutting the delicate hair of baby Giselle which symbolized that our baby has grown to a full month.


CUTTING BABY'S HAIR IS A STRESSFUL ACTIVITY

Thereafter we headed back to 6th Aunt's house to pray for Giselle's "good health and wealth" . We also went to Grandma's and Daddy's Godmum's house.


DADDY & MUMMY SAYS " TO HEALTH & WEALTH!"



6TH AUNT GIVING BLESSINGS TO GISELLE


EVERYONE WANTS TO STUDY GISELLE'S ANATOMY UP CLOSE



DADDY'S GODMUM AND GODSISTER WITH GISELLE

After that the Baby entourage had to return to our house to receive the guests. Most of Mummy's relatives and friends came by. All of them were amazed at the hair growing on Giselle's head.

After the last of the afternoon guests had gone we had some rest. By 6pm our friends from Moral Home, Daddy's friends and relatives also started streaming in.


Uncle Jia Jian even sneaked a little ball into Lucas, resulting in an instant pregnancy.


" WHEN ARE YOU DUE, LUCAS? "

Mummy Doris and Daddy Stuart would like to thank all our friends and relatives for coming to our baby gal's Big Day. Your lavish gifts, nice little cards and warm love for our baby will leave a long lasting impression in our memory.


BURIED BY ALL THE GIFTS


WE SIMPLY LOST COUNT OF THE NO. OF CLOTHES !!!

Daddy couldn't resist

Today Mummy put some new hairclips onto Giselle... and the result is astounding... Daddy couldn't resist but to take photos... we showed the photo printouts to our confinement lady and she demands that we give her some to bring home, ha ha...

P.S : its amazing what Google's Picasa can do... with a little tweaking of the photos and voila...

Aunty Joyce & Aunty Yen's shopping spree

Gosh! When you leave 2 ladies to go shopping they will seriously shop... Mummy Doris tasked her 2 trusty side-kicks to go buy some baby hair clips and clothes for Giselle for her upcoming Baby Shower and she sure wasn't disappointed. Just check out the photos below !

Cheeky Lucas playing stack

Apologies we have been focusing too much on Giselle of late... ha ha... now its time to show you some of Lucas.... we have been trying to get Lucas to play this stacking game and its only recently that he is better at it... and check out his cheeky boogie woogie when he succeed.

Froggy and me

Mummy likes frog implies daughter likes frog? You be the judge...

This Giselle ah... so full of expressions

There's one thing that Daddy can be sure of, its that Giselle is super full of expressions... just check out these photos.

Who knows maybe she will grow up to be an actress...

Check out Giselle's little hand, feet & ear

We got a professional photographer to took similar takes of Lucas' little feet and hands... but this time round Daddy was the one taking photos...

Sleepy days

Babies really give parents a lot to envy... not because of their soft, delicate porcelene texture or their cuteness... but rather that parents wish they could sleep so soundly.... haha

All dressed up & nowhere to go

You see.. the problem with babies is that they always end with lots of beautiful clothes to wear... but because they are simply too small for us parents to bring out...we simply had to dress Giselle up like model and take photos... ( Sorry this is just another lame excuse by Mummy to dress her up and Daddy to take photos )

Dimple hunting

Its always very difficult to capture dimples of babies... esp when you can't even control their facial expressions. Often Daddy had to lie in wait patiently waiting for the dimples to come out - Geesh... really sounds like hunting man. When you caught one it's like "Yes!! i finally got it"... haha!!

Daddy's cousins comes visiting

This night, Daddy's cousins came visiting... it was the first time they saw little Giselle... Everyone was amazed at her thick jet black hair.

Day 3 Home sweet home

Today we finally we came home from the Hospital. Although there wasn't much fanfare, we still manage it off. Doris' Dad waited for us at our home and helped with our barang barang whereas the confinement lady prepared Doris' lunch. Check out the following photos of Giselle sleeping snuggly on the platform





Today was the day we brought Lucas home to be with Giselle as well. We gave him a little prezzie saying it was from his little sister... he took a liking to the his gift immediately.




We hope these 2 little angels siblings will love and care for each other in years to come

Lucas meets Giselle

Today's the first day that our darling Lucas meets our princess Giselle, i can tell you seriously we didn't know wat to expect... we have some video to show though
