It's Mother's Day and Alba and Bella Ngai have planned a present for our lovely mum and she is really exited for Mothers Day and while dad is sleeping Alba and Bella Ngai quickly brush their teeth and eat breakfast ZZZ (dad snoring well he says he never snores) then Alba and Bella give their presents to mum and when she opens it she sees a choclate box but no choclate inside instead there were two letters inside that said to mum from Bella and Alba Ngai she opens the two letters and one that is from Bella Noelle Ngai had one letter and a flower mad out of Hama beads in the other letter that is from Alba Michelle Ngai that has two letters in side and one heart, a braclet and a butterfly made out of Hama beads. After that we waited and played while dad was sleeping so we kept going upstairs to see if dad can wake up earlier so we can go to gandma's house so Alba and Bella both setted five minutes and after that five minutes dad woke up and quickly brushed teeth and got ready before we do. Then we all were ready an so we went to grandma's house and so we played and ate dinner so it was time to go home went we got back home Alba fell asleep so dad had to carry her upstairs.so she took a shower and wrote this post.

Papa Ngai's first visit with Alba to her first preschool today. I think Alba still has no idea that she will soon be left here on her own for whole days at a time soon. Breaks my heart.

On the bright side, there still seems to be some construction going on at the preschool (it's a brand new preschool that has been built and will not open for another few days yet), so I've managed to talk Mama Ngai into pushing back Alba's start date for a month as I don't want Alba to breathe in any chemical fumes that might be left over from construction, or for her to get into any dangers that might not be ironed out yet at a new facility.

Over the past couple of weeks, Bella has noticably started to interact with us a lot more than before. She can now have long periods of eye contact - and she loves it! Bella's definitely enjoying it (as are Papa Ngai and Mama Ngai), as can be seen by her bright smile when we hold her up and look her in the eyes.

Alba's first year has come and gone all too quickly. In a couple of days, she'll turn 1. For the convenience of everybody, Mama Ngai organised for Alba's birthday party to be yesterday (03/11/2012) so that it falls on a Saturday. Although Alba won't remember this day, I hope that when she's old enough to read this post she'll look back on the many photos that Uncle Andy and others took and smile, knowing how many guests were there to celebrate with her. Alba, also remember how much your mummy loves you to have organised so much for you. Although the wet weather meant that we couldn't have the party at the original location (Holroyd Gardens Park), it was still a lot of trouble for mummy to rush up and down from our apartment on her own birthday! I hope you'll also be happy to know that daddy was the one to hold your little hand as you cut open your first ever Birthday cake (a generous gift by Auntie Queenie).

Wow, it's been a hectic couple of months and it seems myself and Mama Ngai have been too busy/lazy to post!

The bad news, no photo to go with this post.

The good news, last week Alba learnt to crawl!

It doesn't seem like much, and it's probably a little late (better late than never though, right?), but Mama Ngai was understandably very excited!

Hmm, it does now mean that Papa Ngai has to think about even more safety precautions around the apartment (like sealing off those stairs!).

Long time no post. Time seems to be flying by so quickly, and along with the flying time Alba Ngai is also growing up too quickly! Sometimes Papa Ngai wishes that little Alba could continue to be a happy little baby forever.

Mama Ngai was very sick today (most likely caught the flu from taking little Alba to visit various childcare centres), so Papa Ngai returned from work early to take care of little Alba. Papa and Alba spent the whole afternoon playing, smiling, playing, laughing...

Unfortunately little Alba's movements are too quick now, and as can be seen in the photo below, Papa Ngai could only manage a blurry photo while trying to track Alba's moving head!

今日和你到Birkenhead point outlet 逛街。 Alba著新衫超可愛喔！
