Little Footsteps of Gayle & Kayla: July 2008

Gayle attends weekly class at Shichida

Before the class begins...

I saw one of my classmate waiting outside the classroom.

Being friendly as usual, guess what I will do next?

Say 'Hi', of course! :)

Come on, its time for class now! Let's make our way to the classroom.

A new look

Mom wished that I can wear hairclip but I just can't help pulling it off, everytime! Now she found a new way to tie up my 'longer' hair.

Daddy loves this new look of mine too, he thinks I look adorable with my hair tie up. Do you feel the same?

I am turning 13 months very soon! Daddy and mommy have always been very proud of my progress from a baby to a little tod I am today. A milestone achieved over the past few days - I've learnt to stand up without assistance, unaided! And everytime i do that, I take my steps and start walking around on my own, just like an adult! wahhaha.. Daddy and mommy are happy for me but at the same time, can't help worrying that I may fall.

A liking for dogs

A lovely evening spent with daddy and mommy. Took a walk around the estate and saw these 2 puppies and you can tell I love them. Too bad daddy didn't wan me to go too near them. Else I would have given them a real big hug! HAHA. But I am not sure if they will bite, but they seemed friendly, don't you agree?

A new exploration, where?

Video Clips of Gayle exploring our neighbourhood surroundings in her new pair of squeaky sandals. Enjoy!

Gayle's Collections

Gayle's Library

I have a keen interest in reading, or I should say flipping books. I love when mommy reads to me, can you make a guess which is my current favorite book?

Shoes

If you think I have alot, you should see mommy's collection of shoes in our very own build-in shoe rack! I'm not kidding. Its mommy's interest to have different designs & colours of shoes, just as to match different outfits everytime! I think mommy will buy me more variety of shoes when I can perfect my steps, very soon!

Catching Bubbles in the Air!

We had a great time catching bubbles in the air! Aunt Min created bubbles using the bubble gun, and we are amazed with the hundreds & thousands of bubbles flying! Not only did we enjoy, other kids at the playground had so much fun too! Mommy captured these shots for us.

Gayle goes shopping!

Waddling & Toddler Gayle

Gayle marched at Vivocity for the very first time! Its a very cute scene, drawing attention from shoppers as she waddled around the wide shopping aisle.

Can I do it mommy? Feeling excited & yet a little fearful at the same time

Go! Not bad ar..

And quickening her steps as she saw plush toys in a shop

Arms high up to keep balance

Shopping in mini-toons

Gaining more confidence as I walked

Conscious of my footing

This pose is so sassy, its like I'm modelling down the runway!

waaaahhhaaa

Smooooch!

We went to Caleb's house and we watched Baby Signs DVD together. It was a fun afternoon, i was so excited that I missed my afternoon nap. I love Caleb's toys, esp the slide! Oh, something happened and it made me real shy! Scroll down and see it for yourself. teeheehee!

Aunt Felicia is so kind to offer me a yoghurt.

I had yoghurt before but still I am not used to the taste.

Eh, I am beginning to enjoy yoghurt. yummy!

Mommy please get some more for me at home.

Watching dvd while our mummies fed us with yoghurt. Ha! Such good life! :)

Exchanging eye contact. Caleb and Gayle seems to like each other

Taa-daa! Cheeky little Prince Charming kissed Princess Gayle
