Calista is ONE month old !

Looking sleepy ...

sleeping peacefully :)

Calista in blue ...

Several people have commented that Calista kinda looks like a boy ... lol. I have to agree with them ... Anyway, she does have blue outfits ... so here's Calista in her RL bodysuit ... in her blue bouncer ... actually, she also has blue mittens and blue socks too .. I shall complete the look and take a new pic soon ..

Merry Christmas !!!

We decided to forgo the Christmas visiting this year and do something different ... something less hectic and simple. So after Christmas service at church today we headed to Vivocity to have lunch at Earle Swensens ... it was nice cos we got there really early and the carpark was nice and empty and so was the mall actually.



Cheeky Lauren ...



Emily was tired out after lunch and fell asleep in her stroller.



I love my Quinny ... I got a Maxi Cosi carseat that can be attached to the frame ... LOVE IT. So does Calista .. the Maxi Cosi is a very comfortable carseat I must say ..

Yawn ...



Looking around ..



Still looking ...



Ok can't tahan ... YELL !!! lol





Stop crying for a second to see if this blardy woman holding the camera phone is going to get the hint and pick me up to feed me ..

Calista's Baptism

Our church holds scheduled Infant Baptism sessions twice a year I think ... the 2nd one usually in December .. so it was very timely that I delivered Calista JUST in time for this one ...lol. The church figures she is the youngest newborn ever to have been baptized in PLMC .. at just 2 weeks old!

Excuse the blurry photo .. Claudia is shy and refused to come forward to take the photo ... so this was taken from far away (where she was seated). Anyway, the church photographer will mail me a properly taken photo soon ...



Here she is resting in her rocking cradle after church.. I wanted her to wear the white gown that I had used previously for Lauren and Emily when they were baptized ... but it was way too big for her .. :( so she wore this yellow and pink RL dress ... sigh. It is currently the only dress that fits her nicely cos RL's sizing tends to be on the small side. The little aunty may be 3.6kg at birth and 52 cm long but I find that she's very petite. Maybe she just has heavy bones .. lol ?

When people refuse to nap ..

They fall asleep on the sofa while trying to schedule their numerous appts on an old ex-PDA of Daddy's.

Eyes open ...

Finally a pic with Calista and her eyes open .. lol
She is 11 days old here :)

Calista - 8th of Dec ... 8 days old!

random shots from my phone ...

Lauren and Emily ... "We surrender!!" ... lol. Took this shot in the early morning ... this is before Calista came along and Lauren got booted out of my bed to the next room with Claudia.



I love these self-adhesive foam shapes ... "Fun Fiesta" .. bought a bag for the girls. This is Emily with her creation. She's quite good at peeling the backing of the shapes and pasting them on paper .. neat too.

On the 5th and 6th day ...

Yes, Calista ALWAYS seems to be sleeping ... lol

An outing with just Daddy ...

Yes, Daddy took the girls to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve on Tuesday ... they were really excited. That's the difference between a Daddy outing and a Mommy outing ... mine is usually at a nice air-conditioned shopping mall ... Daddy's is usually more nature oriented and involves tons of perpiration ... ew.










Yes, the highlight of the outing ... a LIZARD. *yawn*



Btw, I was too tired to pick out suitable outfits for the girls .. hence the totally mismatched, uncolour coordinated outfits in these photos .. *sigh* they were in their stay-at-home clothes. Can u believe Daddy dragged them out in their home clothes??




Emily looking really happy cos she's being carried as they're going downhill .. poor girl was totally exhausted on the way home .. lol.


Today, Daddy took the girls to watch a movie ... "Bolt" .. I of course stayed at home and rested. It was a very peaceful few hours ... just the baby (who was asleep), my maid and myself .. we took the opportunity to clear out the storeroom and drag out the Christmas tree and the decorations ...

4 days old ...

And introducing Baby Calista Grace!!

Baby Calista arrived on the 30th of November at 1.04pm in the afternoon after a really short labour ... she weighed in at 3.61kg and was 52cm in length ...
