Mischa's 1st Birthday Bash!

Some pics taken before the party

Thanks for my Dad, Bro and hubby. The MEN hard at work, helping me to inflate all the latex balloons...hahaha i bought at least 45 of them!!! And i think i only helped to blow a couple of them....got cursed by the MEN big time! Favian in the foreground, 'helping' too :)

Their 'fruits'.

2 of my favourite supersized balloons. Too cute!

Mylar balloons madness - total 20 of them! Did you spot a Thomas the train supersized balloon? That's for my darling Favian, in case he gets jealous of all the party balloons for Mischa.

Today is Favian's 5th Birthday! Time flies and my little Prince is now a little grown up man :) As i always like to call him 'Little man'.
Because of our new addition of Mischa this year, we have decided to just hold a celebration in school for Favian as I guess he will enjoy more than if we were to have a combined celebration with Mischa's birthday in another 2 week's time.

This year, I baked a cake and some cuppies for his birthday. Since my latest interest is in baking, I gave it a shot in making fondant covered cake. This 'project' took me a few days and half an hour before we set off to Favian's school I was just trying to finish up the legs for Spongebob!

I am most proud of the Spongebob cake and some character figurines especially Patrick Star (the creature in Pink with green underwear!)


The Prince and his Crown






HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAVIAN!!! Daddy, Mummy and Mischa Loves You!!!

This is Mischa's milestones at 11 months:
• Says "mama" and "papa" to the correct parent
• Plays patty-cake and peek-a-boo
• Stands alone for a couple of seconds
• Cruises
• Understands "no" and simple instructions
• Puts objects into a container
• Says one word besides "mama" and "papa"
• Stoops from standing position

As extracted from baby center. It is pretty accurate and the other day Mischa just shouted for 'Mama' in my room after she woke up and couldnt see me :)

Its such a sweet feeling to hear your little bundle of joy calling you for the first time. However Mischa calls her Daddy 'Papa', instead of 'dada'. Mischa is walking around more these days, with support of course, like holding onto tables, chair and her walker.
These days she fights alot with Favian too. She will snatch his toys and will scream out loud if Favian refuse to let her have his toy...I can see myself being the mediator between this pair of siblings for many more years to come...
That's Mischa at 11 months - one more month to her Big Day!
