EV has turned 1 and taken her first steps!

EV has just turned 1, and she's taken her first steps, aided by furniture like table and sofa. Sometimes, when she's sitting on her chair, and one of us is sitting in front of her, she would attempt to take one or two tiny steps towards us. My little EV is growing fast! But honestly, I'm not rushing her to walk independently. I still want to carry and cuddle her! Once she masters the art of walking, I'm sure she'll be walking around non-stop to experiment with her new found skills. When that time comes, she'll not want to be carried too much. In the meantime, I'm treasuring all the cuddling moments I have with her, when she's still dependent on us adults to get from point A to B. 

Ella's 1!

Ella has turned 1!! Her birthday coincided with the 6th day of Chinese New Year this year. We didn’t have any big celebration at our place, as it would be toooo expensive to get catering. Instead, we bought birthday cakes and brought them to family gatherings, so that everyone can get to celebrate with us. Yups, so Ella got 3 birthday cakes! She just went with the flow, and absolutely enjoyed herself. Oh.. she sat on grass for the first time too, and she didn’t like it at all.
