My beautiful fairy

We borrowed a pair of fairy wings from my niece for my princess for an upcoming annual staff dinner (coz the theme is something along the lines of 'out of this world').

After her bath the other night, Alicia insisted on wearing the fairy wings and she happily posed for a photo with her daddy:

Usually she poses for ONE shot. And that's it.

The rest I have to get by snapping wildly away and hoping that I get some beautiful pics.

This time, I think I got quite a few! *happy*

Hi there! I'm a fairy! Can you tell?

I can FLY!

I love my new furry wings...

Pretty little fairy... taking a break from flying...

The tech-savvy fairy...

She forgot about the wings already... too busy i-phoning

Obviously, she ain't gonna wear this Elmo PJ to the party... my aunt just bought a beautiful dress for her to go along with the fairy wings! :)

New PJ from Bt Tinggi

Alicia loves this new suit and she refused to take it off after she woke until she was sweating buckets during her meal... :P

She kept stroking the print and saying 'nice nice!' How adorable!

It's just so difficult to get a proper shot of her!

On the third day of new year...

On the third day of new year, we went to my mum's place for dinner and also to my uncle's house just across the road. Here's Alicia in her third CNY suit, stuffing her face with fruit after dinner:

And here's the pretty jelly my uncle gave!

My little Tigger

On the second day of new year, my Korean beauty evolved into a little Tigger:

My cheeky little Tigger

And she was exceptionally grouchy too! Must be all the napping gone haywire!

Look at my Tigger roar!

My little Korean beauty on the first day of CNY!

Isn't she just adorable? She looks so dainty... until she starts moving around! hahaha...

Here's a collage of photos of how she spent the day...
and check out the other little Korean beauty (my niece) too! :D

JG PlayClub (13/2/10)

As expected, the turnout for today's lesson was bad, similar to yesterday's lesson. Hehe. As a result, my hubby was allowed to join in the class in the last half hour of lesson since there were only eight students today.

I dolled Alicia up in a pretty red Oriental dress my mother-in-law bought for CNY since this week they're supposed to dress in red and in their CNY outfits. Yesterday, I dolled her up in last year's CNY romper (fortunately it still fits... haha... we don't have that many oriental-style clothes for her). Anyway, the red dress was supposed to be worn on the first day of new year but my mum had bought a beautiful Korean-looking satin dress for Alicia and she looked sooooo dainty that we had a change of plans. Hehehehe.

My little TV addict watching TV before going to class...

Back to the topic.

Today's art:

Hairband...

Hmm, found this hairband attached to one of her formal baby dresses (which she didn't get to wear in the end). So I just removed it and put it on for her, just for fun. :) Well, she doesn't really look nice with the hairband but just for the sake of remembering how she looks like with a hairband when she's still so bald... hehehe...

Alicia's new PJs!

I went to the market on Tuesday to pick up some groceries and was just about to make my way home when Alicia pointed at something at the pasar malam and started to get really excited. That was when I looked up and saw a set of Elmo print pyjamas. Then she started to say "Mo!" Haha. Couldn't help but walk over to find out if there was a suitable size for her. There was! And so we made our purchase. Just when we were about to leave, we saw another set of PJ - this had Sesame Street characters on it (and there was Elmo of coz). So this time, we made our way to the ATM instead... hehe... coz I had run out of money.

She was really overjoyed as she pranced around her new sleepwear when I brought them home and laid them on the floor to take a pic to send to my hubby who was at work.

See a little moving hand in the pic? :D

She's still admiring her new sleepwear

So I quickly washed them and hung them out to dry while the weather was still good and they were dry in the evening! And she got to wear her Elmo PJ that night. She was over the moon and kept pointing at her shirt, lifting it a little each time to see the Elmo print and she kept saying "Mo!" and occasionally, "Elmo!" And she was fascinated too by the other character prints on her pants and kept pointing at them too. Isn't she lovely? :D

Here she is the next morning, wearing her new PJ and trying to read a book about baby food. For some reason, she's taken to this book lately and has been flipping through the recipes... :P Time for experiments?

Off to School!

I was dressing Alicia up for JG class this morning and after I put on her school T-shirt and her jeans for her, she decided that she wanted to wear her shades. So I put it on for her and I thought that her little duck backpack would make her look really extra adorable so I made her carry it (well, just around the house). She looked so cute that I just had to take a photo of her but she was really upset that I put her down (I was carrying her) and so she started crying and throwing tantrums. You can see even her tears in the photos! :D

How glum she looks! But cute, nevertheless!

The unfazed fashionista wannabe

Alicia has been able to remove her own clothes for quite some time already - unfortunately I forgot to note down when she managed to do so exactly for the first time. But anyway, the milestone chart from babycenter states that the minority of toddlers will be able to remove a piece of clothing at 16mths on their own (it's considered an advanced skill) and it's a skill that most toddlers would have acquired by 20mths...

As for putting on a loose piece of clothing, the milestone chart states that only a handful of toddlers will be able to do so at 22mths. So far, Alicia hasn't been successful in putting on clothes, but you can be sure she's already trying to do so. They say practice makes perfect - and I'm sure Alicia is abiding by that good old adage. Here are her unsuccessful attempts that I've managed to capture:

Here's Alicia some time back, trying to put on her pants...

This is a more recent video of her trying to put on her singlet!
