Hope by May next year I would have moved to my new place and perhaps will have a bigger function room plus not so far west, haha. Otherwise, if cannot find, still can use my current place function room, albeit smaller lah, if u all don't mind hehe. We'll see.

Sputnik: I am unlike most ppl leh. I practise LIFO. Meaning I let baby Kayla drink the freshest milk, no frozen milk for her so far. Cos I don't like the smell of it leh yuck

Re: Mass Birthday Bash for April Babies

We should do one for our April bubs too since most of us have already been meeting on ad-hoc basis!
Like what the March mums are doing, we should avoid setting the Mass Birthday Bash date in April as it will inevitably clash with some bb's private 1st Bday celebration so I propose 1 May 2009 (Labor Day)? Attendees: Mummies, Daddies and Babies. Venue: we need a big condo function room. Any mummies can volunteer the venue? Cost: Shared among everyone(Mar mummies are contributing $30 per baby for 1-3 adults).

Anyone keen? I think it'll be really fun to see how our babies have grown in a year! As for Bday cake, I like the idea of ordering small cupcakes with our babies' names on it (I've a contact who might be able to customise the cupcakes for us). My hubby has also kindly offered his photography services. Other mummies are needed to help plan/coordinate other aspects (e.g. venue, catering, fund collection, decor, music, invitation cards etc). What do the April mums think?

Yes, We'll like to have a April Babies' Bday Bash!

Hi mummies, I am not giving teethers to Ernest as I don't want to end up eating the left-over everytime he eats it, so I got this small snack:

 

[barnzilla]

Re: Mass Birthday Bash for April Babies

I also had a birthday bash for my elder girl (sept baby)last year together with all the sept babies with daddies &amp; mummies, but its at My Gym (great world city). Thumbs up for their services &amp; programs for the day.

Just a suggestion, if we cant find any central location to accommodate all of us &amp; nobody to coordinate this event, we can consider these playgym like The little gym, My gym .. etc or restaurants like the globetrotter, gogo bambini .. etc, where they can plan &amp; organise for us.

 

[winter_chew]

Gymboree is having sales.... Not much for boys though

hi Winter

[maomi_mummy]

calamari, gosh, so cute!!! Where did you take these shots at? how's the package?

[calamari]

serene123: hehe thanks...i brought her to Foto-U, David.

mushloom: thanks..i oso prefer candid shots actually. Yah she can sit on her own for about 30 secs or so.

maomi: they got props for boys oso mah I brought my own toys as props too..

Re: package
I went to David of Foto-U. Just try try and see. Am trying StudioLoft next. Serene, believe u have tried that.

Package is at $150 with all pics in low resolution given back, 8 developed pics and 3 8Rs. Am converting the 3 8Rs to 1 canvas. Still contemplating whether to top up another $100 to take all pics in high resolution back or not sigh, spend money again

 

[ynby80]

Kayla is so cute. i like her with angel wings sitting in the potty.

Xmas Party

wanna try Angeli??? @ $10 per person. the food not bad. i have that for my gal's full month.

www.angeli.com.sg

 

[Mylollipopdays]

calamari, baby Kayla looks so angelic in the photos! And she can really smile

love her beautiful big round eyes!

 

[serene123]

actually tried studio loft, 1st time- bloom picture is good. 2nd time- bb 1 mth but she rushing to see doc and her few days before delivery, not so well taken. so this round, still dragging myself to the 3rd photoshoot.

if they hv props want to go foto-u.

8 developed with touch up too? and total touch up 11 pictures?
my suggestion.. don pay the additional $100, go for another photoshoot cos the other time run i paid for all, but only the few chosen is the best.

 

[barnzilla]

calamari
nice shots of kayla! very natural ... i like

 

[serene123]

yvonne- tried angelic too, my company favourite too. take the $12ones. by the way they hv the x'mas selection too.

If no objection, i also do tentative booking with them 1st.

 

[ynby80]

serene123

i had just pm u. pls refer to the email.

 

[poupinette]

Calamari,

Kayla looks gorgeous! Lovely smile, lovely hair, lovely!

I plan to bring Ethan for a photo shoot when he can sit up. Foto-U's package sounds good, I should call them to get more info.

 

[ynby80]

mine is angeli not angelic. my fren say need to book early to avoid full house.

 

[stefylim]

calamari...wow kayla looks so cute...i love all her pics....hee hee hee...

 

[koori]

Calamari - Kayla is so photogenic...guess she will look nice in pics by studioloft also keke.

 

[calamari]

keke...thanks mummies...u all just made my weekend a even better one

 

[maomi_mummy]

hi mummies,

thinking of buying these cute shoes. anyone interested?

retails for USD$25, but can try to get at USD20 or lesser, the more you buy the cheaper, as always.

length is 11.5cm

3 styles of shoes:
Busy Bee (green)
Cool Cat (navy blue)
Cheeky Monkey (baby blue)
High-quality lamb leather upper
Cow suede soles for superior grip
Well-crafted and built to last
Elastic ankle construction designed to fit comfortably and stay on the baby's feet

 

[mumbly]

Hi Calamari
Your girl looks so adorable on the potty with those wings... I am so inspired now... mind if i plagarise and copy some of those ideas? hee... My hubby is an amateur photographer la...so can do at home... but now i just need to find a pair of boy boy wings ha ha.

 

[simp]

Calamari,
can take Kayla' pic to go for competition

. she got ang moh' look + super photogenic lol. Ya, agree w Koori that studio loft' pic will look nice too In fact i like most of Kayla' pic even on fb as she always photogenic
