April 2011

We celebrated Andrew’s 20th Birthday last weekend.

While waiting for the camera to set up…

Errrmmm… Uncle Andrew is only… 2 years old?

Cosily seated in Uncle Andrew’s arm… and still waiting…

And then like every birthday at Home, we took the Birthday Portrait…

This time, it was late, and everyone was pretty tired. But we all have no complaints about it.
Its very important, you know.

If you haven’t realised, Amanda had a pair of earrings on.
They are very light clip-ons from Barbie, because she’s starting to take notice in all accessories we wear.
Sunglasses. Watches. Earrings. Bracelets.
Or maybe she has taken a lot after me in this department.
I LOVE LOVE ACCESSORIES. I have many drawers of accessories and hair accessories!!!

Lovin’ her first pair of earrings.

Watching TV with Grandpa after the cake.

In all of her accessories, except for the earring.

She is surprisingly comfortable in her own sunglasses whenever we out, she keeps them on.
And whenever she wants her sunglasses, she would point to her eyes and says 镜.
She LOVES them so much that she wouldn’t allow me to remove her watches, earrings and bracelet at bathtime or bedtime.

One thing she’s still uncomfortable with is accessories on her hair.
She will rip them off her hair and pulling few strands of hair in the process.

Blur picture. But I thought she looks like Grandma Alice here.

No hurry. I have a pouch of children hair accessories whenever she’s ready.

It so fun shopping for her. I make it a point going to the children’s department when I am out shopping.
I will probably regret saying this now, when she (perhaps, fingers crossed) starts throwing tantrums in the toys department store, few years down.
She is already showing lots of excitment whenever we are at the toys department.

I have been neglecting this blog soooo much that I do not even know where to begin or write.

But let’s first start with Amanda’s hair.
As much as I love her in pigtails, we finally brought her to a kid’s saloon for her hair cut.
I brought to the kids saloon in Yuncheng before, but thought that I would be able to the same job at home.
She was still young and didn’t have much hair then.
But now, that her hair was getting unruly. I thought a trip to the saloon should help to tidy them.
Besides, its impossible for her to keep her pigtails on long enough without distraction.

There was no struggle as her eyes were fixed on Barney, on the screen infront of her and the balloon and sticker, I told she’ll be getting when Ayi is done.
She nods her whenever we asked questions and sat still enough for us.

I am sure you have seen enough of her in pigtails, but these are THE CUTEST (to me) pictures of her in pigtails…
We missed the entire Autumn season (last year) and current Spring season in Yuncheng, while we are in Singapore.
These pictures were taken before we left Yuncheng, one of few photos where she isnt all wrapped outdoor and is adorable in those tights.

Ready to go.

Discussing about their favorite pair of shoes.

Loves running freely outdoor.

And here’s some taken the day before her haircut.

It was hot and getting dark and she insisted to be in her sweater and sunglasses.

Neat single pigtail.

Another of her former unruly hairdo,

BAD HAIR DAY!!!

Pictures of her new hairdo.

Having Tea after haircut.

Amanda would say, A-yi (hairdresser at the kids hair saloon) whenever I comb her hair.
(And yes, she could now say A-yi and a couple of other 2-syllabus word, instead of her usual Ah…)
Her new haircut somehow matches her mischevious behaviour. Though I wished that her fringe were a little longer.
But with a neater and tidier haircut, she certainly looked like she has more hair.

It was also difficult for me to take more pictures of her new hair, she couldn’t sit still enough for the camera.
But I believe you will definitetly be seeing more of it on this blog.

We have so much to do here, and Amanda is definitetly enjoying her stay here, learning and playing.
She sleeps little in the day and sleeps very late at night, which hardly leaves me time to blog, and I would really prefer to surf the internet or nap.

Will try catching up on more blog postings soon.
