The other day, I saw the cutest thing. I love that he's focusing so much better now and staying awake for a much longer time. After having changed him, I sat him on the changing area and he noticed his reflection. But of course, he didn't know it was his reflection. He prolly thought it was another boy that looked a whole lot like him and his reactions were priceless. How I managed to snap everything, I have no idea. 

He sees this other cute boy, wearing the same clothes and looking a lot like him, in the mirror. He gives him a long ass stare. Tried to stare him down. 

Decided to test to see if he would do what he did. He touches his nose and hey, cute boy touches it too!

Haha, how silly! You touched your nose too! 

Okay, its not so funny no more. You didn't need to laugh too yo.

Little Temptations.

So I recently saw these cute little baby accessories from Armani Junior and I fell in love. Its not exactly filled with little cartoons or whatever, in fact its really plain but it looks so simple and I love it.

Fought really hard with myself, I really nearly bought it but I refrained. Mikey's still too young anyways so when the time comes, I shall hunt for them again. 

Isn't it just the cutest thing? Its an Armani Junior Sippy Cup and Pacifier.
The pacifier comes with the cutest case as well.

Marked.

I was under 60kg before I was pregnant.
I gave birth at a grand 82kg.

Just when I thought I had never touched 65kg, I was 72kg.
Then, when I thought I had never touched 70kg, I was 82kg.
That's some massive weight gain.

I managed to drop 10kg, two weeks after giving birth.
And 12kg after three weeks of giving birth.
But its plenty to lose.
So yes, I still feel insecurely wide.

And of course with this weight gain, my body would definitely have been tortured.
So like majority of mothers, I have stretch marks.
Yes, I do. No big surprise there.
But I am far from being insecure about the stretch marks.
I'm basically only insecure about the weight. Oh Lord, how to lose em all?!
But the marks, not at all.
These marks just reminds me of what I created.
They just remind me that I carried him lovingly for 9 months and kept him safe.
They also remind me of all the kicking and punching I took from him.

So yes, these marks most likely will stay with me for a much longer time that I would love to think but, it all goes away when I see him. It all goes away when he snuggles against me or gives me the most adorable toothless grin!
To him, I'm a superstar.
To him, I look beautiful without even trying.
To him, I'm his place of comfort, his person of security.
To him, I'm perfect.

So marks, schmarks.I was this little rascal's home for a very long time.
He makes me happy.

But seriously, weight, you gots to go man!

Baby's All Grown Up

So evidently my baby isn't all grown up.
Well, he does turn 2 months old today!

But this post is for my dearest friend, Priscilla.
On Saturday, 19th Novemeber, she got married.
Yupp, you heard right, she got married.

After the drama that happened the night of the Bachelorette Party, everything went through.
She's married now. I hope she tries for a baby real soon! Haha.

So her wedding took place at Church of Our Lady Queen of Peace and it was lovely!
I was Maid of Honour! Hell yea I was.
I tried my hardest to help with the planning and whatnot for the wedding but of course, I wasn't the biggest help ever cause I was pregnant. That's a terrible excuse I know but I actually didn't know I was the Maid of Honour! So sweet of her, she thought she would be imposing by asking me to be Maid of Honour. Le Sigh.
But eventually, after it came to light, I helped where I could.

Finally the day comes and it was lovely walking in front of her.Okay, that doesn't sound so great but really it was also fun being the ones that saved the day in the beginning by tying all the flowers cause nothing was done. NOTHING! Had I known, I would have gone 2 hours earlier but instead, me and my mum ended up running around, in heels and a heavy dress and making sure the baby was being good. A lot.
Helping her with the bouquet, helping her with her veil, being the one that sits beside her. Technically her hubby sits beside her but I sat close enough. Held back the tears during the exchanging of rings. It helped that they fumbled with the words a little.

And after that, the dinner was a massive turn out! 500 people. Gosh. And it was a Bollywood themed wedding dinner! I just wore a red dress. Shall post pictures once they come out. It was fun, seeing so many SAC girls. Like wow! Everyone looks different! I guess I got the biggest difference, a baby.

Ended up leaving a little earlier than expected due to some reasons and also Mikey was a little cranky. Poor boy. Too much Bollywood for him to handle I think.

Well, Priscilla love, I wish you all the best from here on out. Its a new chapter in your life, I hope its a colourful one, with lots of love and laughter. This is what you've been waiting for! All you've been rambling on since years ago and all your planning and all your gushing, its happened. FINALLY! I hope you don't think that you can't talk to me anymore. You can definitely call me anytime darling and although you now live on the other side of Singapore, I will still come running! Baby in tow. I love you plenty honeybunch!

Mr M's many faces.

All taken in a span of five minutes.

Oh how much I love my little man.

Bachelorette Party!

So my bestest friend is getting hitched this Saturday!
I'm excited, really. I feel like she's been waiting for this for a very long time.
And she deserves nothing but the best.

Well as the title suggests, we had a bachelorette party for the precious lady!
It was so difficult cause I have not left Mikey's side for a few hours let alone one night.
So it was a little difficult. I had the baby on my mind majority of the time.
I knew he was in very good hands, mummy babysat for the night, but le sigh.
I missed him greatly.

We still managed to have a ball of a time.
We kicked it off with some drinks at my place, I didn't drink any.
And then Avalon at Marina Bay Sands.
The place is lovely! LOVELY!
But I am only a fan of Hip Hop and RnB music so I just could not get my feet moving to the beat.
Also, it was harder cause I stayed away from heels for the longest I have ever stayed away from heels, which was a grand total of 6 months! Gosh. So the high-ness was like wow. I suddenly had a fear of heights.

So many close friends of the Bride to be weren't in Singapore, many were abroad or having exams and what not. But everyone was telling me to get her completely sloshed.
I tried my best everyone, I tried my best.
I "Waterfall-ed" her.
I "Shot" her.
I "Vodka-ed" her.
But at the end of the night, the drama woke her up immediately. Douche.

Anyways, Priscilla darling, I really hope you had a fantastic time. It could have been better, I agree but it was hard to plan cause I was pregnant. But I still do hope you had a good time. It was nice seeing you let loose and relax especially after all the stress you're going through planning a wedding.

ps: Give me back my camera. -_-

Stolen Touches

Just recently I posted about people glancing at Mikey which I honestly had a problem with but now, (I literally have to calm myself while typing this) not only do I need to deal with the glances, I had two random people touching his cheeks!

Breathe Tanya breathe.
I mean come on people PLEASE!
It  happened once while I was discussing something with my uncle and we were standing in a forever crowded Tampines Mall, and BOOM! Some imbecile of a lady randomly walks by with her other friends and gawks, shouts how cute he was a then I saw it, a finger, on his cheek.

And then I felt it, my blood boiling.
Some mad stare did she get.
Some quick walk she adapted immediately as well.

To my horror, it happened again yesterday. At an eating place.
Lord above. Some man walks past, says oh wow he's awake now and I saw it again, the finger approach.
I'll stick my finger in your damn eye I tell you.
From then, every time he walked past, I stared.
And also, what do you mean by he's awake now, exactly how long were you staring?!

I need a stress ball every time I go out with the little one because really, I've shouted at quite a few during my pregnancy and post pregnancy, and I am trying to remain calm.

My son needs Security!
Talking about Security, here's a cute picture which I posted on Facebook.
It is by far, one of my favourite pictures from the millions I've got of him. <3

Our 11.11.11

The new mall behind the Singapore Expo is great!

ChangiCity Point its called. It isn't officially opened yet but we took a stroll there after checking out the Parenthood fair.

Its basically our outlet mall. Everything's a steal here! Bought a tonna stuff at Esprit and it was just a little over a hundred!

Also, mums are gonna love this place cause the Nursing Rooms are bloody gorgeous and well equipped. It has a water cooler in there, with hot water. Hallelujah, someone smart. Being a new mum, bathrooms and nursing rooms are so important. Nasty bathrooms used to repulse me so badly before and even more so now. If it smells bad, it most probably is bad. It won't be clean enough for a baby.

There's even some play area, right on the top, wet and dry playing!
Location's quite a bitch though but easy cause its nearby for us.

We bought these itty bitty shoes for Baby Michael too.
Everyone left with a little something something! :)

Most recent shot of my little man and I. <3

Glances.

I don't know if I'm odd but I have a problem with people staring at Baby Michael.
I mean seriously though. Why.
Okay, maybe I should rephrase myself.
I have a problem with groups of people that stare and comment amongst themselves.
Look, if you have a comment, which most of time people do, just tell me.
Every single bleedin time we head out, there's a minimum of 5 people that pass a "OMG So cute!" comment.
Which is fine, if its said to me.
But don't open your eyes wide, smile at yourself and go tell your boyfriend/friend/mother "OMG look at that baby, so cute."
Seriously, I am right here. I can hear you.
Regardless if its a good comment, I feel if you have something to say, say it to me.

And please stop the staring.
To save your life stop the staring please.

But if you have a lovely comment, please do come and say it.
Mention it, start a conversation, I don't care.
But discuss/comment amongst your friends, please.
I think its rude.

Laughter

His laughter is contagious!

When he decides to stop frowning and give a killer smile and some funny snorting laughter.

I'm so proud of him. 

He can roll over by himself. 

He does silly things like move my hand with his hand to make sure he's getting milk.

He crosses his eyes and makes silly faces that cracks me up.

Also, he recently had his 2nd dose of Hep B jab and he took it like a man!

And he didn't even get a fever at night.

Big Boy!
