1 year old Photoshoot

Just receive Baby Z's 1 year old studio shoot, am so so pleased with them. Falling in love with every single shot. I have not even liked my own pre-wedding photos as much. So proud of him, the photographer commented that Baby Z was a smiley baby and he enjoys taking pictures of him.

Pictures of him from KidsatWork.



It was a pretty enjoyable photoshoot, as Baby Z kept himself busy with the plastic real looking props, giving a bite in any that he manage to get his hands on. Its like a major playground for him. Hubby and I stick close to him so as to give him assurance. Result was good as he only started being restless after an hour. Which is good enough to take great-looking pictures.

oh how fast they grow up. I do miss his baby self but I love his curent toddler stages too. Cuteness oozing in every corner.

His 4-month old photoshoot at David Lim photography. Looking either shock or blur but major chubby and adorable. Its harder during his 4-month old shoot, as he can't sit upright without assistance yet, props are limited so I was a little disappointed, it was way different compared to those nice baby photoshoot that you see in magazines.

The photographer did not even attempt to persuade us to buy more pictures.Ha!

But overall he was a very friendly and nice photographer. He advised that it would be easier if we bring our Baby Z when he was a new-born or when he is older. But still I do not regret the decision, cuz at 4-months, Baby Z was the epitome of cuteness, with all the fats deposited at just the right place.

Peer Pressure

My Baby Z is finally making significant progress in taking his first step. Well technically it's not his first step, step. It's more of his first un-aided big walk.

Peer pressure is a terrible thing, it's something I wld always remind myself to not be affected easily but the affliction jus gets itself rooted in the back of every parent mind.

With the presence of Facebook and Twitter, you get to be updated of when your friend's baby make their first crawl, first hi-5, first stood-up on their cot-bed/play yard. You sometimes even wonder why other parents gets to upload 101 cute smiley baby pics and you are struggling to even capture one.

Yes, Peer pressure gets to everyone of us. Regardless you wanna admit it or not.

I've been 'monitoring' when my peers babies took their first walk. And it somehow falls between 14-16mths. So when Baby Z starts standing on his cot at the age of 10mths', 'walking' while holding onto whatever 'support' near him. For e.g. Table, Door, Play yard, Wall. I was jumping for Joy, confidently thinking that my son is gonna be a early walker.

Everytime he stood still without any support, I'm like, 'this is it' .... But weeks flew by, he is still stuck at this stage. While In refreshing Facebook daily and seeing progress on others but not my own.

So the time has finally come..*wipe away teeny drop of tear'

Ever since mid last week, hubby held baby by one hand, and Baby Z jus smile proudly and walk steadily forward.

When I held onto his little hand, I realise he's actually not putting any weight, he is walking on his own but he jus wanna touch our hands for security & assurance. *wipe another imaginary drop*
