Father's day gift for the hubs! :)

Did you notice that the card is in the shape of a footprint too? :P

Made this little card on behalf of Alicia for hubby for Father's Day 2010. Got the inspiration and the poem from notimeforflashcards.com.

Not having the appropriate materials to transform Alicia's footprint into a keychain (as shown in the link), I decided to make a little card instead so that hubby can place it at his cubicle at work. I told him it's to motivate him when he gets tired at work! :P

Anyway, that was Alicia's footprint when she was a couple weeks' old - we had a very squirmy baby already back then as you can see from the footprint (not the exact size as I took a photo of the footprint). Wanted to get her current footprint while she was asleep this morning but the footprinting tool which we used back then was spoilt so I had to make do. It nevertheless made hubby very happy and when he came home today, I made Alicia pass the card to him and that of course made his day :) And she even took the initiative to hug him after passing him the card (she told him 'hug hug' after giving him the card)...

Bedtime... Naptime...

Earlier in the month, I taught Alicia all about tucking her soft toys to bed and so it started off with her tucking in her toys (especially big snowbear). Starting on the 8th Jan, she'd place the snowbear's head on the pillow, then put the blanket over it then pat the bear thrice and say 'pat pat pat'. Soon, she decided that she wanted to tuck herself into bed and so she would lie down next to big snowbear and try to throw the blanket over herself and the snowbear - and I'd do the patting: both her and snowbear. She'd be very amused and she'd try to do it over and over again.

Unfortunately by the time I realised that I haven't gotten a video of this adorable phase, she was almost stopping to do these cute actions so the videos I captured didn't manage to capture 'the moment'. So upsetting... anyway, this is as best as I could manage:

Blow-kiss!

Alicia started blowing kisses to people and soft toys at demand and of her own accord on 22 Dec'09. Here she is, lying in bed, in her playful mood as usual, and holding on to her favourite toy which she carries round the house with her (I took this video last night):
