The Bub in the Belly

Hello there! Another week zoomed by! Hope it was filled with enough of some things and lots of nothing. At least that's the way I like it.

I have been quite busy with a few exciting personal projects, which I'll share when I've progressed a little further along.

Our dog, Max, has been ill, since two weekends ago. He had a fever, his red blood cell count was low, and his levels were just not good. He is recovering, thanks to Richard's careful administering of the prescribed medication. He had a check up today and the test results were good. He is looking a lot more like his happy and active self, and we are looking forward to a full recovery over the coming week.

I will post a little more frequently next week. We will be travelling next week - ironically, that's actually a good chance to catch up on some backlog.

Ok, you all know what's next: it's the sweet stuff! This week's edition is the daddy and daughter combo. I hope you find some more sweetness over the weekend. Be good, be happy.

Babydoll had a great time yesterday morning - she went to Tanjong Beach in Sentosa with her nanny's family. I'm told that she swam in the sea, picked seashells, tried to catch some fish, played with the sand and had a rip-roaring good time. Although it's not her first time at the beach, it was her first time swimming (quite far out) in the sea. One of her nanny's daughters, Caroline, is a children's swim instructor so babydoll was in good hands and, according to Caroline, babydoll was absolutely fearless. That sounds exactly right.


Ryan had a busy week - he had three auditions! Hopefully, he will secure at least one, eh? This afternoon, he is going out with Caroline for some playground fun at Changi airport plus some swimming. Over the past couple of weeks, he has been having some playdates with some friends from school and there's another one coming up next week. It would be safe to say that he's very happy, haha.



In these photos, babydoll is modelling the latest dress I made for her. I used a pattern called Debbie's Birthday Dress from Sewpony. You might remember this colourful fabric from these shorts that I made last year and yes, I still have some more of this fabric left! The back of the dress and the collar is a dark blue pinwale corduroy, which is also from my stash - I used it for these pants that I made for Ryan in December last year.



Are we done with the photoshoot, mummy? Let's start the weekend - yahoo!

Hahaha! Have a great weekend!

Ryan had two tries on the trapeze. He wasn't particularly impressed with it, I have to say. The next day, I asked if he wanted to have another go and he said he much preferred to go swimming.




Here's a video of the little guy in action!

We spent our last day in Club Med mostly in the pool. We even had a go at the water aerobics session (yes, dancing again!).
