Yes! Yesterday when she was attempting to walk from the white board to the table, her legs was still wobbly and nearly had to crawl. Today, she could actually walk from the living room to the dining room! Wohoo! Way to go, little sister! :)

B's 1st Year Vaccination
Seeing that B recovered from her runny nose, we brought her to her 1 year old vaccination as scheduled. B has her MMR and Hep A jabs today on her left hand and right hand respectively. She didn't cry as hard as the previous times, maybe it's not as painful on the hands as compared to the thighs?
When I told my mum about it, she told me off and said I should have scheduled the two jabs on different days! :( Yes mum, no next time! Actually, the Hep A wasn't scheduled, it was a suggestion from the doc as she said the Hep A jab wouldn't cause fever and so we took it.
Doc advised that fever may come within these 3 days, if not in the next 7-10 days and rashes may appear but there is no need for alarm. This is depending on individual. She's fine today, we just have to watch out for the next few days/week.
[15 Jan 2013: High fever sets in on Saturday and it went up from 37.6ºC to 38.4ºC to 39.1ºC! Fortunately, it came down and was gone on Monday.]

DC and I have both read this book years ago and we love the movie trilogy "The Lord of the Rings". We wouldn't want to miss this related movie! This movie has been showing for quite a while already, we finally found time to watch this together! :)
All I can say is that this movie did not disappoint at all... all the familiar characters, scenes, creatures and the "ring" that were found in the earlier movies were seen in movie. I love the magnificent view of the New Zealand! It was however, a disappointment to know that after approx 3 long hours, the story has not ended... and there's a part 2 to the movie! (It's just like the local production "Ah Boys to Men"!) :( We feel they should have trimmed it to 2 hours if there are going to be 2 episodes!
Sweet game
A loves to eat jellies. He had some 6 jellies in his x'mas goody bag from his childcare teachers. He couldn't wait to eat them all up and kept asking me to open them!
I thought it's such a waste to just do what he wanted, so I flipped the jellies facing them downwards and made him play a memory game.
The game is to remember the position of the coloured jellies and flip them when I said out the colour. He liked the game but was impatient to complete the game for the third time as the jellies was too alluring for him! :P
We had fun and these heart-shaped jellies are just too cute!

B is 1 year old
How fast time flies! B is 1 already!
We've bought and upgraded her to a new car seat. She is able to sit better and longer on this car seat. That's her in the picture above.
She develops too fast! I didn't seem to have hugged her enough and now, she didn't want to be carried! :( She rather be on the floor or cruising around. She can also toddle very short distance e.g. across the length of her baby cot.
At night, for the past 3 nights, she didn't want to be carried and wanted me to put her in her bed! She was rolling over on her bed, playing and couldn't get to sleep. She didn't want me to carry her (kept shaking her head when I tried to carry her) and she didn't want me to stay away from her bed too! She wouldn't even let me sit down, and demanded that I stand up and watch her roll on the bed! Thunder, Drills, spider, etc didn't work anymore as she is now not afraid of these! :( However, it always works when DC appeared in front of her and that made her realize it was bedtime and she had to sleep! DC - My savior! :P
She had her bottom front tooth (on the right front) out. It's so cute seeing her little pearlies when she smiles! :)
She loves to eat bread and would always cried out "Mumm Mumm" when she sees food! We fed her 2 porridge meals now and she could take about a little less than half a bowl of porridge now. I was told she loves to eat fish and I'm happy to hear that - same as mummy! :)
She claps, waves bye bye, shakes her head, dances with music and she jumps and she blows kisses... it's always a joy to see her move her body about! Super cute! She could also point a remote to the TV and she puts the phone on her forehead to answer a call! Haha, it just takes a "Hello" and she'll do this. Cute!
Of course, there were also times when she screams. That's when her brother would come in and command a "STOP!". She seems to have picked that up from A and would repeat "stop!" back at her brother!
She calls DC "Papa" and A "Tata". I haven't hear her call me yet but I know she could say "Ah Ma". There were a number of words that came out of her mouth actually. e.g. "book", "bird", "nana" (means take), "tow" (means throw), "there" (with finger pointing to the direction she wants to go) and "bao bao" (means carry her).
She celebrates her first birthday in Dec and I taught her how to blow candles. She goes , "Bu..." with her lip pouted, so cute! She also celebrated her aunty's birthday cum christmas and her twin cousins' 4th birthday in Dec. She loves the star on the christmas tree and would always ask to be brought near to it! We got her a huge Hello Kitty balloon and she loves it!
She is now on a pack of frozen ebm and 1-2 bottles of chilled ebm, we gave more milk powder now and she ended up with a number of constipations that causes her much effort! Also, started her on her magmag. She loves the big teat on her cup!
Both her and A were sick last week, A had cough and B had runny nose for the whole period! Fortunately, they were well now.

A is 3 years and 5 months old
I find a slight change in A this month, in a positive way. He seems more sensible now and talks more now...
He learnt to reach for the door knob and mastered the skill of opening and closing doors! It only take me one minute to show him and he picked it up right away! :) He now opens and closes the door as and when he is pleased. It can be quite disturbing at times (e.g. when B is sleeping) but seeing him feeling so satisfied at every door opened makes me want to laugh! :)
He is a fierce brother but he does do his part to discipline his sister when she gets naughty! Ha, it's funny to see them yelling at each other and fighting for toys.
DC decided to put A's car seat in front, next to him so that there are more space behind for B's new car seat. This makes A very happy, he loves sitting in front with his daddy and kept saying "In front!" when he remembers! :)
He also likes to imitate or follow his daddy e.g. wear the same colored Polo shirt, wear similar shoes, wear zipped shorts like daddy and even go toilet together. This is more so lately, after the car seat is placed in front! He must have like his daddy lots and treat him as his role model! :) A has his car keys and wallet and would always imitate his daddy and says he wants to go "Buy Mumm Mumm" with his money! He even give our maid coins to go down to buy dinner, haha!
He can now use iPhone to make call and would mumble into the phone and pretend that he was talking to someone on the line. I love to see him pretending, it sure look like he picked up the way we (adults) behave/speak when we were on the phone!
He started coughing on Sat 22 Dec and it pains me to see him vomit his food out a few times while coughing! :(
It's the end of the year 2012, we celebrated B's 1st birthday on the 16th, christmas and his Yiyi's birthday on X'mas day and his twin cousin's 4th birthday last weekend. How fun! We gave him a remote mini cooper for christmas and he loves it!
At school, A is now in transition to N2 next year, how fast! My boy is definitely growing up fast! :)

A timely blog header change
Yes, it's been too long and B is 1 year old!
Recently we've been to a photo studio for family shoot. What's more appropriate time to change a new header than now? So, here it is, a simple one... and it's the same as the cover picture on my fb! :)
See the full list of blog headers we've had these years here.

A Joke Came True
Amazing! DC and I was at a unit about two weeks ago which an Australian couple is currently staying. I knew A's classmate was staying around the area and jokingly told DC that could be A's classmate's place!
Today, when I was looking at the pictures of the unit that were online, a paper on the fridge caught my eye... when I zoomed in, I was shocked to see A's classmate's name on it!
The joke came true! It was so unbelievable!
A will be sad to hear that his good friend leaving, the one whom he happily says goodbye to when he goes home and the one who wears the same "Pony" clothes as him!

B's first birthday celebration
B's birthday celebration was prepared in a record time. It was meant to be kept short, sweet and simple. :)
The Theme: Hello Kitty
This wasn't the theme we wanted from the very beginning. It was supposed to be Miffy but we were not able to get the cake and goodies in time as we were really very busy. :(
So, we decided to replace to an easier Hello Kitty theme. HK is also one of my favorite characters! And, DC thought that B looks like HK!
The Venue: Home
I wanted to try the CC near our place. We were always unable to book the venue there, so this year I called in earlier. However, this time they told me they will be undergoing renovation this period!
We figured out that the venue would be a challenge as it's the christmas season, so we decided to hold it at home. Afterall, A had his first birthday celebration at home too, so same for B.
The Food: Neo Garden
The usual choice. :) The food didn't disappoint. It was good!
The Invitation:
Invitation was by call (elders) and fb (cousins). We didn't invite my mum's side of relatives as they are still mourning for my grandma.
The Party Favors:
There were too many HK stuffs around but we chose to buy gummy bears instead for the kids! :) It's an all time favorite, even for the adults. The portion was huge. I did a tag and pasted it onto the bag and got A to distribute them out. :) A just love to help out!
The Decoration:
We ordered a HK bouquet and 30 pink/fushia/white helium balloons and decorated them around the house. I also bought a HK banner (10in) but it was too big. DC had to break it into 3 parts before hanging it up.
The Entertainment:
We are a house full of toys, especially for the boys! I'm glad the kids were happy playing with the toys, e.g. cars, carparks, highways and battery operated cars. :)
The Birthday Cake:
Again, we opted for a Polar cake. I bought a HK cake topper and a nice number "1" candle to decorate the cake. Sweet!
B was napping before I woke her up to cut the cake! It must have been a shock to her to see so many people crowding around her but she seems to have enjoyed blowing candle and hearing people sing song to her.
The Look:
A pink princessy dress with 1 matching pink hair pin and 2 HK pins. We also put on her newly bought shoes - a must for 1st birthdays. Pretty! :)
The Presents:
All the presents were placed at the foot of our christmas tree. They will be opened on Christmas day. :)
We did open up one, as requested by the baby sitter - And, B got herself one amazing set of: HK red packet, handmade HK card, HK towel, HK blouse, HK socks and even HK shoes! What a coincidence! They too think that B looks like Hello Kitty! :)

B's 1st birthday preparation update
We were very very busy for the past month! B's birthday celebration was put on hold for quite a while before we picked up from where we left off last week! *Oops*
We've changed the theme of the party as the original was just too difficult and we've got not much time on hand.
Tomorrow's the day, I'm happy that all that needed preparation was done! :) As usual, sis settles the cake, DC the buffet and me the birthday suit, decorations and favor packs. We've also settled her first pair of shoes -- a must for 1st birthday!
Just now, I showed B how to blow candles. She laughed happily at me, then she imitate me after her hearty laugh. So cute! I hope she remembers how to blow her candle tomorrow! :)
[Edited on 16 Dec 2012: B had a nightmare at midnight and woke A up. A couldn't sleep and only finally slept at 2am! Tired parents we were! FIL told us next time don't let the kids know, if not, they would get excited and sleepless. Oops, that's exactly what I did... I told them about the party! :P]
