Alayna's First

This is way overdue. She's already 13 months now.

We had a little birthday celebration for Alayna just before we left for Cherating. It was a small party with immediate family members as I didn't have time to organise a full scale party this time around. Besides, she's still too young to demand how her party goes, so let's take advantage of that.

She had a lovely cake made by my good friend Norli.

Bits about her:

1. She's expanded her vocab already. Can clearly say kakak, mama, papa, mummy (that's me too), bumblebee (clearly now), nak, nanak (tak nak), abi (abang), opah, atuk (but pronounced as 'atak').

2. Still doesn't take a lot of milk from the bottle. Prefers the boobies (or 'oobi' as she says it), although supply is dangerously depleting.

3. Has shown some interest in walking, although she still need support from us. She will say 'tatih' when she wants to go for a walk around the house.

4. Although she is still really tiny, the doctor has given an all clear that she's healthy. Hurray for that.

5. She has a total of 7 pairs of shoes and none of them really fit her well. Too loose.

6. Loves music and will bob her head when listening to catchy beats.

7. Eats everything and anything that other people are having. Especially loves meehoon goreng and pasta.

8. Separation anxiety rears its head at times. She's perfectly fine seeing me go off to the office in the mornings, smiling, kissing and waving goodbye. However, she gives no chance for me to go out on a date night with my husband without making me feel guilty. She can wail for hours until we get back. *sigh* She is getting smart.

9. Loves Pingu.

10. Still shy with strangers, but can choose to be friendly with random people.

It's my party and I can pick the cake if I want to.

Yes I will.

Mama, how am I supposed to walk with this killer heels on?

I got these 'heels' for her birthday because they're just too cute!

The shoes are extremely soft, like a soft toy and is meant as crib shoes and not for walking babies. Since Alayna was still not walking by then, I thought I'd just grab this and keep this as a decoration later on. Yes, as established way before, I am a sucker for all things cute and useless.
