We're making pasta from scratch in this fun party! Join us as we get our hands dirty and roll out the pasta sheets! We will be making 3 types of pastas and 4 sauces including 1 mystery sauce! The one we are particularly excited about is the fettucini with lup cheong and curry leaf! Yum! :)

And at the end of the session, everyone gets to bring home some homemade pasta to prepare at home! If you like, you can even purchase the pasta rolling machine to bring home and have fun with. We're so excited! :)

Being silly at Ion Orchard!

Smiles on demand with a generally cheerful disposition! Haha! :)

Row row row your boat!

It was a lovely off day that we spent with Ellie today. I really felt us bonding and the affectionate young lad kept plying us with kisses as though to say 'let's do this more often, you guys!'

We first took him to clear up an ear infection he had. My parents, GUP+Y, mil and us brought him so it was 7 adults bringing 1 little baby to the doc. How loved!!

That out of the way, we popped into ikea to buy some furniture. Ikea is one of the most baby-friendly places around! The baby care room is so thoughtfully planned out and is a dream to use! Unfortunately, when I changed ellie's diaper, he decided to poop into the fresh new diaper which left me with no more diapers! Thankfully they had a diaper dispensing machine which completely saved the day!

Having a fresh clean bub, we shared a warm hot dog, with Ellie enjoying most of the soft warm bun. More kisses for mummy cos he loved it so much.

Dinner was at the banquet food court at Harbourfront. They have quite yum western food there - ask for the sambal chili!

Ahh end of another lovely Monday! Back to work tomorrow! But not before some pix!

Getting comfy on a flowery sofa in ikea!

He liked it so much he mooshed his face into the sofa!! Eeek!

Studying the floral prints...

...and beyond!

Cross-legged now!

Climbing climbing climbing!

Knackered!!

My son delights in pulling toilet paper. It is just something he cannot resist despite countless scoldings, along with pulling specs off people's noses and pens from their pockets.

It's too much of a hassle to roll a whole roll back when he strikes so it pretty much looks like that most of the time. Haha!

We're back from Bangkok! The 2 boys really missed each other!

Here's looking at you, dad dad!

So happy to be back to cuddle my little sweetpea!

We visited Bali in July and had the privilege to eat in a number of wonderful eateries dotted across the paradise island. We had some most memorable eating experiences and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Please leave a review too! :) Next up, Bangkok!!

Like most babies, Ellie is fascinated with animals. He loves the cats that live below our block, even the one we call 'nemesis' because it scratched Merv really bad once while he was patting it.

Ellie always wants to touch them but we don't let him because cats are such unpredictable creatures! So he has to be content just looking and chuckling at them from afar for now.

There is Kitty meow meow!

And here is one of him looking rather stressed mid-nap as Merv eyes a new watch! Haha

The family had dinner together at Tom Ton restaurant last Sunday. Mum had requested for a table with a view so we were seated just next to the window overlooking the Singapore river. The food was excellent though we were served by a waitress whose service was less than excellent!

Free Mitzi salad - yummmm! Rocket leaves with some tangy dressing and topped with seaweed

which Ellie loves!

We visited the zoo yesterday with the 2 babies - Ellie and Jacoby! We almost didn't make it because the blazing hot sun almost made us choose a shopping center instead, the aircon just sounded too enticing!

But we were so thankful we went, the boys really enjoyed it, looking around in wide-eyed wonder!

Ok, let's go!!

We met up with aunt Pat and aunt Kat for dinner this evening. Yaay aunt Kat was a God-send, she carried Ellie the entire way!! I could even squeeze in a quick dress purchase! (grey dress for mr Lim's wedding -check!)

Then we had a delicious MOS burger dinner which was so welcomed after I subsisted on 4 sticks of Pocky for lunch.

The highlight of the evening was when Ellie started to dance to 'Together in Electric Dream', sending us all into fits of laughter! We've decided this year's Christmas theme is going to be retro night because he seems to love the music, much to his father's despair!

With Aunt Kat

Yes that's right Ellie, next time shop for Mummy at Mango! Lol.

Gd night! Got a wedding and 2 Cookyn parties to go to tmw!!

As I carried Ellie on my shoulder this evening, I realized his legs have grown so much and are so much longer now. As Merv always says, my son is 'outgrowing' me!

They say that when a child is 2, they will be at half their adult height so if ellie's current height is anything to go by, he's surely gonna be taller than Mummy, thank God!

Anyway, I suddenly had a moment of realization that I'm a mommy. The everyday things get to me and the impact of being a mom doesn't always hit home, save for these little moments. Me!!! Somedays I feel like I'm still just a kid myself - and now I've got my own. Haha!

Sometimes I even feel a little bad that Ellie has to have such young and inexperienced parents but I suppose what we lack in experience, we can make up for with sheer enthusiasm!!!

Anyhoo, I'm really loving this little boy of mine, loving when he rests his head on my shoulder and when he breaks into a grin and lunges towards me when he catches sight of me.

Love you little one!

Finally a family shot! But dear ol daddy has got Ellie all exposed! Lol! And he wasn't dressed up because we decided to go out on an impulse! Haha.

Love laughs, chats and sipping a cuppa ice milk tea with our friends! :)

Today's photo is a cuddle with daddy. As GUP+Y taught him, if you say 'Elliot, sleep!', he will put his head on your chest and pretend to sleep...

...for all of 5 seconds before he is up and looking around again!

*cuddles*

Ellie kept throwing the pacifier so MIL decided to hang it high up where he could not reach. LOL!

Look up there!

Most amused!!
