25th june...

ian will be 15 months old today. it is also my birthday. we usually let ian wear new clothing (if we happen to have bought some that fit at that time - so far since full moon, every 25th of the month we did have. but probably this will be the last...). we will make sure we catch some nice shot of him - wearing new clothes - also mark his growth by a month. i actually keep a series of photos taken on 25th each month in flickr.


(ian at 15 months...)


(a shot taken with ian - is always hard to take a nice shot - took it myself... this is part of it. cropped out parts that are not really nice...)

everything went smoothly for the whole day - definitely there are some hiccups. until this naughty boy poo at his diaper. follow by took almost 1 hour to eat his apple and is only 1/8 of an apple. he even refuse to bite like usually what he did. i got to peel into small pieces and put into his mouth. yet he spit out some on the floor. naughty boy. 1 poo at diaper not enough, he poo another time at diaper. but this round could be emergency.. you know.. the first i actually notice some sign and i ask him. he just ignore me and continue to play that's why i did not bother till i for sure heard the sound... is just these. over all still a smooth day. especially i am glad and happy with his milk feed and nap. these are always my headache. nap especially on wednesday as the cleaner lady will come and timing is out of my control.

guess what's ian's new discovery? he found the trick to pull off the wall we use to cage him up. i catch him few times pulling it off and trying to escape quietly... i took few shots of him attempt to do it.


(really ganas...)

papa asked for leaving from work earlier. he reach home around 7 and we went out for dinner. actually i ate as i cook in the morning for 2 meals. besides, papa can't be sure that he will be back early. simple celebration - dinner at secret recipe and bought some cakes. my choice of cake - pandan layer cake from berry's. birthday song, make a wish, blow candle... we did it after ian's night feed.

i told papa last year that i miss my 1st birthday celebration with ian. that time ian was only 3 months and we are still trying hard to get adjusted with our new life. 1st is always more special but too bad that i had missed that out. we did a simple celebration for papa's 1st birthday with ian last year back in melaka. this is one of the shots we took. ian was only 7 months plus.
