My boy is one!

The birthday boy

 

 My dear boy Micaiah turns one on the 28th September, last Saturday. We had a mini party for him and his little friends (including theirs parents of course!) at our house. I just couldn't imagine how time could go by so quickly; a year ago i was admitted to the hospital and the memory of the childbirth pain was still very fresh in me today (:-S). I suffered a great ordeal of 2 days after my water broke before this little man came into the world at 3.84kg! I could still remember him sucking his little thumb in his daddy's arms. His fresh scent. His little chubby face (and still chubby haha); eyes closed tightly and his jaundice episodes. God has been great for the last year! Though i have to admit motherhood is no easy job, its something that i would never think of exchanging or giving up for and thank God for giving me the opportunity to be a mother to a cute adorable little prince!

 

My two aunties, who happened to be one, a great cook and the other a great baker came to visit and help out with Micaiah's first party, so we had the luxury of having everything homemade including the birthday cake! Micaiah was a big fan of the song 'who is the king of the jungle?' so the theme i chose for him was 'lion safari'. I also pray he would grow up to be strong and superior like a lion, and model after our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah.

 



Isn't the cake awesome? Carrot cream cheese, personalised and made by my dearest auntie Amy. Oh ya, including the cupcakes too.

The spread on the day. Yummilicious food cooked by my dear auntie Agnes and some by me. There were still some dishes not served when this photo was taken. Popular dish of the day was sweet and sour lychee fish, also happens to be my favourite!

Desserts are a must for me. Agar-agar, fruit platter, tarts, tiramisu, macarons, baby food/snacks and drinks. Not forgetting the two bottles of wine too!

Daddy's birthday is only 2 days away from Micaiah's. Hence, that explained the two birthday cakes. And candle blowing together.

 

Did Micaiah knows it was his birthday celebration? I don't know, but he was a happy chap that day. He received many gifts and pressies (thanks to everyone!) and was laughing a lot the whole day. At one year old now, he is getting more active and aware of his surroundings. Couldn't talk or walk properly yet but he was a fast crawler and good eater, who would happily finish his vegetables and fruits without fussing. He sleeps through the night in his own little room, which is only next door to our room. A tall boy for his age, but has not been gaining much weight since he was 10 months old (11kg +) due to all the movements and crawling. People have been praising how good looking he is, and how he would grow up to be a heart breaker (haha) which, i believe he understands because he would give his loveliest smile when someone praises him!
