We were debating whether or not to send her to her nanny's house during the day, since I was on leave and thought of spending some time with her. But in the end we decided for her to go to nanny's house so that her routine, especially her naptimes, will not be disrupted and she will be well rested for her party in the evening. So I dressed her up in a pretty new dress (usually she just goes in her pyjamas lol). She seemed to know that it was a special day and she was quite excited!
Our 3 princesses:
This was her happy self in the car on the way to the party, wearing another new dress. All her new dresses were bought by our friends when she was younger, but since she is quite petite, they were just nice for her to wear now :)
We requested our usual corner of the restaurant, and the hotel was obliging to give it to us, and they also prepared a table for the cake and presents. The set up did look quite nice and I was very pleased.
I was also wearing a new dress - RM32.00 only, and my hair had a wash and blow for RM5.00. In times of GST we have to spend wisely haha.
Birthday girl with Nanna:
With Chim Poh and Chek Kong (grand aunt and grand uncle) who look after her while Mummy and Daddy are at work:
With Nanna and Gong Gong:
This is one of her favourite aunts, Jessie. She gets so excited everytime to see her, even though she sees her almost every day (her grand aunt's daughter).
With Ah Mah and Ah Gong:
And then we had the cake! We ordered from Jenni cake house as usual, and we gave her the little ponies to be used as cake toppers. We chose the My Little Pony theme since Helene is a little pony :)
Once Helene saw the cake, all our photo-taking efforts went out the window! She just kept wanting to get to the cake! We did try however to take some family shots, but she was pretty distracted haha.
She got to try lots of different types of food. Incidentally, at her one year check up, her pediatrician said that she should be eating adult food and there was no need to cook special food for her. So char koay teow, here we come! Perhaps it was because of her petite size (she is the minimum weight for a one year old - 8.7 kg), but you would never think that she could be petite considering her appetite. This little girl loves to eat!
I just love this expression on her face. She looks like she could be thinking a million mischievous thoughts!
Happy that she gets yummy food!
Here are some of the guests at the party - Hubby's best friends from school and their families:
With the docs - Tze Ming and Jacintha, and their daughter Samyra:
Some of Hubby's family members:
And then it was time to cut the cake! Everyone sang a loud birthday song for the birthday girl.
She was so happy to cut the cake - maybe she thought that now she gets to eat it!
I love this candid shot of us - Helene flashing a big smile at me. I can't remember what the joke was though haha.
So happy!
First bite of cake for the birthday girl. It was mostly cream lol.
Happy 1st birthday to our sweet precious Helene! As we enter your 2nd year of life and all the coming years, Mummy and Daddy pray that you stay healthy, happy and that you continue to bring us joy always! Lots of love from all of us.
