Yippie I am 1y Old Now!

Mom has been procrastinating of posting this update. Today she urged herself to do it. My birthday is on April 5, but the celebration was on the next day together with my dad's birthday celebration, since my dad's is April 2. On that day, mom dressed me up with pink Chinese-look outfit given by Ompung Boru. Thank you Ompung..every body likes the dress and gave me compliments.


Mom also ordered a birthday cake for us. At first she thought of ordering a "Winnie-the Pooh" sponge cake, but then since it was not only for me, Mom changed her mind and at the end she ordered a black forest cake. Seems like every body loves black forest, Dad especially..


The celebration was simple as Mom wanted to be. It was not announced at the church beforehand, we just casually invited people to come down stair to join the fellowship as usual, as if nothing special. On that day not many people attended the service, so the foods which were served were plenty for them, Mom was happy for that...so that people may have some for doggie-bagging.


We ate first and then it came the time when we lit up the candle...(sorry Daddy no candle for you..it was only for me..the number 1 candle!). I was so excited when people sang "Happy Birthday" song..clapping my hands full of excitement. Then Dad helped me to blow the candle. I did not understand why we have to lit up the candle for a minute or two and then blow it...??? Someday I guess I will know why we do it...


The above picture shows some of my friends at Sunday School and the teacher. I call them kakak, meaning big sister. I like to play with them and they take a good care of me.



For my birthday, Mom did not forget to prepare some goodie bags for Sunday School kids. The above two pictures show us the goodie bags and what's inside it. My friends were so excited to receive and open it up.


Of course I received some gifts for my special day too. These are what I got from friends. Thank you all! Right after arriving at home, I played with the new toys I got, without even bother to change my clothes first. I was so happy and curious with the new stuff! I am a big girl now Mommy...I am 1 year old, yippieeeee!!

9Month to 12Month Old

When I was 9mo old, I was more socialized than ever..I love to be around many friends. My friends mainly come from my church community and mostly they are older than I am, so I call them "kakak" meaning big sister in Indonesian. The above picture were taken at home during my lunch time I got a visitor coming..kak Vanessa and kak Bella (not in the picture).

This dress was kept by mommy for more than 6mo since I was born...it was given by auntie Shinta (thank you auntie). The reason why mom kept it for that long is simply there was no occasion which suit for me to wear this beautiful dress, beside it was still too cold to wear short sleeves dress. So one of a beautiful Sunday, mom decided to put it on me..I was 10mo old at that moment...I love to dress up!

Since mommy knows that I love to dress up, the following Sunday, again she put on me nice dress with a little sweater. This dress was given by Ompung Bulan (thanks Ompung). Not to forget, mommy also put 2 hair clips to make me feel more beautiful.

It was March and as you may know it is quite cold in Canada during this month. So I need to put on my thick hat that cover my ears too to keep me warm.

The above picture was taken when we paid a visit to Quebec city with Ompung Doli and Ompung Boru. It was a very cold and windy day. I needed to put on my thick cover-all and beanie.

For you to know...I do not really like baby-kids' toys...if someone give a toy for me, I would be excited to play with it just for couple minutes, and after that I am bored with it and start to search for other "toys". What I mean by "toys" can be my dad's electrical stuff, books-magazines, envelopes, pens, cable, microphone, telephone, laptop, computer mouse, key chain, mom's cosmetics, my toiletries..anything but baby-kids' toys.
One of those days, I really gave mommy headache...I was cranky and did not want to be put in my crib to play with dolls...even with the miniature telephone..(mom..I know it's fake...!! It does not sound like the real one). At the end, mom just put a used to be baby wipes box on my head-as a hat...and to her surprised I was so happy!! See mommy..it is easy to make me smile..

6Month to 9Month Old

Thank God, I passed the half of my first year and definitely I am staying as happy and cheerful as before and as always. This is 6mo 1w old me.

I was squeezed and grounded, but I stayed smiling and giggling. 6mo 10day old me.

I was wearing outfit for 12mo old baby, but it fits. I think I am big now.

It was an early morning, mommy still had her long hair and sleepy I guess..while I was widely awake. This is 6mo 2w old me.

It was a very windy day and it's mommy's birthday. We went for late hotpot lunch in China town with friends from church and on the way home we made a stop at Mont Royal.

Mommy cut my front hair..I think I looked cuter..This is 6mo 17day old me.

It was Halloween day and Ompung Boru gave me this very cute bunny outfit. Mommy put the outfit on and drew the whiskers. I felt tickles when mommy did the drawing so I cried..I really gave mommy a hard time. I was just 6mo 26day old.

7mo 10day old me. I was stronger than ever!

I was 7mo 18day old and able to stand up on my own.

We went to mommy's friend's wedding and mommy put on her pashmina on me. I was 8mo 10day old.

This is our family picture for Christmas 2007, taken at home.

It was the second day of 2008, I was almost 9mo old and just recovered from diarrhea which I got during our Christmas and New Year Holiday in Mississauga. I looked skinny here, but I was happy to play with my new car given by Bou Tia. Thank you Bou..

3month to 6month Old

I got my ears pierced when I was 3mo 1w old. This picture was taken after going to the piercing store. I fell asleep right-away when we got home.

Don't you think I am prettier with those stud earrings and Mommy's bandana? Actually I had to wear those studs for 6weeks and Mom had to put some antiseptic twice a day to prevent infection after piercing.

After 6 weeks Mom replaced the stud earrings with these beautiful hoop earrings given by Ompung Erlinda. Thank you Ompung...

When I was 4mo 2w old we went for picnic with some friends from church to Plage St-Zotigue. It is a beach, 45minutes away from Montreal.

It was 4mo 3w me. I imitated the prayer doll again.

5mo old me being held by mommy.

5mo 10day old me, ready for winter.

5mo 20day old me...yes I am a happy baby..

My Ballerina Girl

Mom was saying something about me...for her I am her little ballerina girl!


She is now 10month 9day old. She grew up so fast... I am glad she is mine. I am thankful she is in good condition. I am amazed how quick she learned every thing small and big.


She is my ballerina girl....the joy of my soul. She is big now...and yes she is mine!
