leanne and brandon

things to remember

i must write down things about leanne before i forget.

when she was a baby, i used to call her the lighting inspector. she loves the ceiling lights in the living room and she would calm down whenever she saw the lights.

she's little miss thinker because she used to have a frown on her face and seem to be in deep thoughts every so often.

leanne also likes to hold her hand against her ear as if she's on the phone. she was alreadying doing it in the womb when we had the routine scan.

but the thing i love most was when she smiled in her sleep. she doesn't do that much anymore.

weekend of firsts

leanne had a few firsts during the national day weekend:

first ma-ma and ba-ba

first national day

first hair cut

on Saturday morning, leanne, as usual, had her own quiet roll-abouts in her cot before she got bored and woke us up. i brought her over to our bed and put her between us and casually asked her to 叫 妈妈 叫爸爸. To our amazement, she turned to a and said 爸 爸 and turned to me and said 妈 妈. I couldn't believe it and tried it again and she said it again. so proud of our little girl.

leanne trying to climb over to our bed

on sunday, i brought her up to the roof terrace to see the national day fire works. think it's a bit too far for her to see cause she was looking at mommy busy snapping the fire works and yati's finger as yati was trying to point the fire works to her....

view from the roof terrace. should have had a bbq....

leanne was a good little girl when she had her first haircut. it's more of a trim and tidying up cause her fringe was getting near her eyes. her hair looks fuller now after the trim. she didn't make a fuss. she was just curious and kept turning to look at the hairdresser trimming her hair. it cost us 20 dollars. should have guessed when they started giving stickers and balloons to children....

her hair looks fuller with the tidying up

can't wait to see my new cousin
