My Wonder Years

First Family Trip

FINALLY! We packed and hopped onto the plane, headed for a short trip up north. Like any new parents, we were equally nervous about bringing Baby Isabelle out on a "mini adventure", away from the comfort of home, not knowing what to expect going out and about with a little tot. We spent 2 days packing for a 3 days trip, trying not to forget or miss anything from our "to bring" list. Fortunately all was well and much to our surprise, Baby Isabelle wasn't so demanding as we have expected her to be. We still got a chance to rest, relax, rejuvenate and even fine dine! AAahhh.. the joys of life....

All set to take off!

Arrived. "What are we waiting for?"

"I'm all set, Mommy!"

"Ooooohhh... I love this bed"

"This is da best"

"Daddy, I want whatever you're ordering"

"Hei... get this hat off me!"

Room service

Paradise - I could be here forever...

One for the road...

The Cousins... Again!

What could possibly drive Nai Nai cum Po Po up the wall? 2 little monkeys!! Baby Isabelle and Ju were partners in crime for a month, turning the house upside down and driving their Nai Nai a.k.a Po Po absolutely nuts!

Yep... it's official - partners in crime

"Hi Ju. Long time no see"

"I like your nose"

"And your lips too"

Curious about each other's toes

"Mmmm... I like the smell of your hair"

Play tub

"Stop it Isabelle"

"Go away"

The monkey's play nest

Favourite standing spot

Yay - off for a swim in Yeh Yeh a.k.a. Gong Gong's jacuzzi

But must fool around first

8 Going to 9...

Whoa! What a month it has been with back to back work travels and having spent so little time with Baby Isabelle. She is 8 months, 3 weeks old now to be exact. She is now an expert in standing (pulling herself up by hanging onto something with her dear life) and can even lower herself from a standing to a sitting positon steadily by bending her knees - a great milestone for an 8-month old, so I learnt.
