g - first trip by plane la! not first holiday trip. note that i am backdating my blog. penang was back when he was 7 months.

we went to penang to let baby c have his first trip by plane. we chose penang coz it's near and only a 45 minute plane ride. we also wanted to see how well he would do on the plane. well, he passed with flying colours! BUT it was because he was still on his pacifier then. so he was contented just sitting on my lap, sucking away. ah well, it was bliss.
i chose penang and hard rock hotel specifically because it's right by the beach. i thought i'd give baby c his first taste of the beach. i had grand ideas of bringing him to lounge on the sand and building sand castles with him. guess what? when we got to penang, the heat was so intense (AND the common areas in hard rock does not have air-conditioning) that we rented a car and went off to explore the malls. sigh.......... well, i DID have good intentions.
BUT we did make the effort and we brought baby c to the butterfly farm. (I absolutely hated it. if you really knew me, you'd know that i hate the outdoors and the heat). i brought baby c to the butterfly farm because i thought he'd enjoy watching the butterflies. i was right. he was absolutely intrigued by the butterflies flying all around him. (i was busy trying not to scream and trying not to duck from the butterflies). baby c was just spellbound by the butterflies. he couldn't spin his head around fast enough to look at them all.
ah well, all in all, it was an enjoyable trip.

sigh............. i've been slacking off. have been too busy! just looked back on my blog and the last entries were when he was 7 months old. he's now 11 months. well, we've been busy travelling. he's been travelling since he was 6 months (and to think that i was nervous to bring him on that journey back to kuantan then!) and we have not looked back since! here's what we've been up to:

6 months - kuantan

7 months - penang

8 months - singapore

9 months - g's wedding and MILAN (woo-hoo! we made it!)

10 months - recovering from milan (it took baby c TWO whole weeks to re-adjust back to local time. needles to say, b & i suffered........ surprising thing was, he adjusted immediately when we arrived in milan)

11 months - i am busy preparing and planning baby c's 1st birthday! can't believe that it's coming to a year already. time flies huh?

i have loads of photos to upload. was just going through them and i simply could not decide. soon....soon.....
