The Wife had been up all week making fondant elmos to go on top of baked apple cinnamon cupcakes. Most of these are to be given to 穎熙's playmates in the local playgroup she attends every thursday. we'd originally invited a friend over but she was ill and couldn't make it for 穎熙's hainanese chicken rice-birthday lunch. i'm glad that we'd be doing another picnic this sunday with some other friends at the botanical gardens, at least it wouldn't seem so lonely for her in a belated celebration.
nonetheless, today's a milestone for all of us in the family, not just for the lil one.
she's a happy, healthy lil girl who has been the centre of our world since her arrival a year ago. i suppose firstborns will always be special and i am sure all parents will relate to the quiet tenderness when i manage to get my lil one to fall asleep in my arms and the warm effervescence that my lil brings when she spurts 'papa' in between babbles.
i suppose parenthood can't be taught and this year has had its ups and downs, but i should really stop blogging further cliches. The Wife does a fabulous job tracking her experiences in a blog she created for Avery while i do what i do best, capturing moments behind the lens, photoshopping then posting up on flickr. little did we know that we'd pieced together a scrapbook of sorts and perhaps one day when Avery is older, she'll read these and piece together our experiences bringing her up.
on this day, i wish she'll continue to grow up healthy. and that she'll have a beautiful life ahead of her.
Happy Birthday, 穎熙 :)
