Preparing for the 1st Party!

We decided in the Elmo there for Baby Kara's 1st Bday quite early so since Mummy is clearing some leave this week, here we are! Shopping for Elmo related stuffs.  There are so many from the First Few Years shop at Paragon.  Ended up I had to prioritise & only got the water bottle since Baby Kara luv to drink water & she could suck from the straw.



Wanted to prepare chocolate fondue fountain for the guests so I head to People's Park, planning to get cheap tablecloth & ribbons for decorations.

Perfect Weekend

Our perfect weekend these days would be a nice brunch (Jones @ Dempsey is one of Mummy's fav), followed by playgym where Baby Kara could really enjoy herself & we could give her undivided attention.
Bambibi @ Dempsey is not very baby friendly though.  So many tods were just running around like monkeys! Luckily playgyms are usually free for Baby Kara until she reaches 1 year old.

So sleepy after lots of playing...

Butter Durian!

Best durian I had this year is the butter durian from Balestier! Too bad the season is ending soon :(:(:(

Baby Kara is not rejecting my milk after all the durian feasting so I'm sure she'll grow up to be a durian lover like mummy & daddy!

Little Genius Trial Class

Read that babies learn the most before reaching 3 years old. Their brains are like sponges! So here we are with Baby Elise for a trial class @ Little Genius.
2 sessions at $130! 1st class today is their chinese class.
Baby Kara is a very attentive student!

Baby Kara munching away while Daddy & Mummy try the famous fish soup for lunch.


Rest Days

Ever since I started working out after 6 weeks post-delivery, I workout mainly in the morning before work & have gotten very strong.  Even stronger than pre-pregnancy! There are even times I'm so obsession, I'll jog / bike in the morning and have a short 20-30 mins swim after work before spending time with Baby Kara.

Ever since the "wake-up call", I have been trying to convince myself to include 2 rest (no workout at all) days per week. 

So we were are! Mummy relax & practice walking with Baby Kara while Daddy sweats it out!
Baby Kara can sprint towards the water bottle anytime!
Daddy is super motivated with our support!

Shopping Spree

My most expensive pair of shoes.  Not Ferragamo or Manolos but a pair of Specialized S-works. Haizz
After 2 bike fittings, 3 tries of saddles (2 Fizik & 1 San Marco) & groin sore, knee pain, numb fingers & toes and lower back ache, I've finally decided to invest in a new pair of cycling shoes & a ladies specific saddle.  There's sale at KPI too & I ended up getting new cycling jersey, tights, gloves & arm cover!

Gerald is extremely motivated to run these days & so we went shopping at Queensway Shopping Centre on a Saturday afternoon without Baby Kara. I must admit it was indeed relaxing to enjoy some time out on our own, feels like we were back to our dating days!
Feasting out after the shopping!
Another round of shopping for running gear at Tampines One. This time also with Baby Kara so mummy gets to entertain baby Kara while daddy does his shopping.

 Baby Kara is happy to carry the loot!
 Gerald taking part in the carnival & enjoying himself. He could keep the ping pong ball up for 2 mins!
 Baby Kara tired after all the shopping & daddy gets to cuddle her to Zzzz...
 Baby Kara luv to drink from mummy's water bottle!
2nd round of Queensway Shopping...
