Meredith and Mummy 12th month

Hello~ This is Meredith at 12th month (1 year old) of her bright little life =)))

I can't believe how much she has learnt in the last couple of weeks. Everyday she amuses and amazes me haha. To give a summary of her growth and milestone check, she's REALLY much slower in her motor skills in the sense, she learn tummy time / flip over / crawling / standing / walking much later then toddlers her age! Another thing she's slower in is speech haha.

She can only say "mama" when she calls out for me. And make random blurp like "Ba ba ba!", "Da da da", "ga ga ga", "Nia nia nia", "Ah buuuuuuuu" Hahaha. You get what i mean.

BUT BUT BUT. Maybe thanks to her right brain development classes at Heguru (City Square Mall), i don't know, she's very good with identifying things, and very good with interaction and.. Manipulation LOL.

By that i mean she's extremely cute and has her way to crawl into people's heart. I mean at least the people around us who genuinely love her and care for her =')))

Also her teachers at Heguru told me not to worry cox i have to see it as, she is a really huge capacity cup. She has a lot to take in before she can show overflowing output =D I like their way of thinking!

On the day of her birthday. Haha this was supposed to be the outfit but the tutu skirt was really too much. It engulfs her hahahah.
Some of the presents! Thank you everyone!!!
CRAZY OR WHAT OMG. LOVE THIS BOX OF CHOCOLATES FROM Chocoelf!!!
Aunty Jia got her hairclips haha.
Lucky baby with yeye and ah ma. This is her first outdoor tongtong ride! Haha.
She loves cars / trains! Not as much as she loves her soft toys becox she will pat them and carry them and kiss them.. But she loves her toy cars. She will push them on the ground and tell us "ooooooooo" Lolol. Don't know how to do "Vroooom beep beep!" like we taught her yet.

Snapchat craze with Yurou hahahaha. She even put a milk bottle for Meredith hahaahahaha.
I do for her one, she loves it hahahahahaha.
With friends i have wish for.. To grow old together.. All together.. = l
Looking at this picture.. I just really wonder if we could still have a picture like that when Meredith is a big girl. By then will Meredith still be as happy and carefree as now. By then will we all be better? By then will everything and everyone's situation and state be better..? Sometimes looking forward is as gloomy as looking backward if i think negative.. "We're not broken just bent" Bent.. In a very f-up twisted way..

Anyway..

We were all busy taking our OOTD. Yutaki, Sophie, Miyake, Me. All took OOTDs that day.

But to be honest.. In my heart..

None of us nailed it as well as..

"Did you get it, mommy?! Did you manage to get a good shot for my OOTD?!"

But it was really fun. And quite relaxing to cycle against the wind.. We cycled all the way to MBS =O I am such an athlete =))) Later we had pasta, spam fries, truffles fries, root beer float, creamy beer, steak and some nuggets to reward ourselves for making the day out for sports =))) LOLOL #fail
