Fun time at Vivio City

Took baby Randall to Vivio City on 19 April 09. We went to Toys 'R' Us where Randall managed to pick up his own birthday present! He doesn't know it yet but his parents will come back another day to buy it for him, get it wrapped up and give it to him on his birthday celebration.
He is a blessed boy with many who love him.
Saw these few kiddy rides outside Giant and carried Randall to try out a few. No coins were slotted but just sitting inside filled the little baby with joy! See his funny, broad smile! =)

Randall's First Birthday Invitation

Dearest friends & Precious Family,
Looking forward to celebrating this special day together with you all who means much to us.
Love,
Vincent & Jessie

Randall's First Haircut

This year is a wonderful year of many 1st milestones for Randall. First teeth, first flip, first music class...

We brought Randall to Little Junior League in Suntec City for his first haircut on 4th April 09. It was quite crowded and we took a little to understand their unique queue system. You just take your queue number off a stack of tags on the wall!



While waiting for our turn, I entertained Randall with toys, wanting him to relax and feel safe with the place. As usual, he picked out a large truck toy and enjoyed himself turning the wheels round and round.

Finally its our turn! With trepidation, we placed Randall on the seat that has been stacked higher with one more cushion seat as he is so small! The hairstylist quickly turn the volume of the video of Thomas & Friends louder to distract him.
How appropriate! Randall loves music and the sound of children singing 'there're wo, there're four, there're six, there're eight' got his full attention.



The auntie began snipping away, working very fast with Randall watching the video very intensely.
Some of the people walking by stopped to take a look as Randall is indeed very small compared to some of the kids around and they looked on with amusement. I heard one mother commented 'Wah, he never cry!'

After 5 mins, Randall starts to fidget. We were a bit worried how to soothe him if he becomes cranky. Luckily the auntie was finishing by then. With just a few more snips, she finished the job! Swee!

Jesus Loves Me

Jesus loves me;
night and morning
Jesus hears the prayers I pray,
and He never, never leaves me
when I work or when I play
- W. Carey

Baby Randall, mummy prays that you will learn to rely and trust God if there ever comes a time in the future when you feel weak and small.

'Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak but He is Strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so'

Look-Alike Meter

Randall looks equally like both of us! *Grin* :)

Randall's first Music Trial Class

Brought Baby Randall to Kindermusik @ Tanglin Mall on 1 March 09. The May mummies got lobang for a trial class again so Randall's mummy (full of enthusiasm) signed Baby up thinking that he will enjoy the lesson much as he loves music.

The lesson began with a teacher (can't remember her name) singing a song that includes baby's name and an action item...she has a very lovely voice and Randall was mesmerized by her. So the only time he wasn't crying or clamping his hand on his cheek in fright or hanging on to me, was when she sang.

There were playing of simple musical instruments, like the shakers, the tamborine, the rain-maker etc.....and action songs. Randall enjoyed the shakers the most! :)

Overall, Baby Randall didn't really enjoy himself as much as the previous trial class at JWT.

As the school doesn't allow photos taking during the class and Randall was clinging on to me most of the other times, I only managed to take a few photos.

Model for Gardenia?

Saw this pic in my little sister's facebook album and find it very cute. Randall really look the part of a model for Gardenia bread! I wonder how many other products he modelled for...??
