Recollection of 28 June 2005

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone of you for wishing Declan happy birthday!

28 June 2005 marks Declan’s first year on this planet. He has been giving us plenty of joy, laughter, surprises and love during the past 12 months. Our lives have never been the same again after his arrival. This little wonder rules our time and attention 24/7. His every little action and every little squeal will trigger a reaction from the people around him. All of us can’t help but be thrilled by how fast the little one is growing. In a blink of an eye, 12 months had flown by.

I miss little Dec as a newborn helpless infant, so huggable, so dependent. Over the past 12 months, he had developed his own traits and character and is no longer as dependent. He has his own thinking now and will show us his displeasure if something is against his wish. Slowly, I am seeing my little baby grows into a little toddler and in a few years time into a little boy and I bet before I know it, he’ll have grown into a little man.

Don’t ask me when is the second one coming as I am still enjoying the special moments of my first born.

One year after that special day, when Little Dec first see the world, we choose not to do anything elaborate. Instead, our little cosy family of 3 chose to enjoy some private and quiet moments at east coast beach.

We started the day by singing him another birthday song and this time we got a cake with the name spelt correctly. The cake was a gift from a family friend. It was pretty tasty!

That day was the first time Declan set his feet on a beach. He was a little frightened when we first put him down on the sand. After awhile he his curiosity got the better of him and he started playing with the sand. His dad even brought him to the coastline and let him get splashed by the waves. Not sure if he enjoyed it, you guys go judge from the photos. One thing I know for sure is I definitely enjoyed playing with the sand heheheee.

So sweet. I can't believe how quickly time flies. Sometimes I don't know to be sad or happy.

I love the pail fighting photo & the cake all around his lips one too!

I agree with Irene and yes, the pail fighting pic is very well taken and it captures the moment! Really cute!

Nice weather at the beach!

There won't be any elaborated celebration for Ethyl on her first b'day too!

Maybe like Declan, we may go get a Lana Cake and have a candle blowing session and move on for a stay at Beaufort and enjoy ourselves (Hubby, baby, myself) for that day!

Once again, Wish Declan all the happiness and health!
