Hunter, Uncategorized HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY 9 May 2011

My first Mother’s Day started off with a deliciously long sleep stretch from Hunter.. followed by a feed.. followed by him sleeping in ’til 9AM (very rare). Oh, the luxury! Why can’t he do this every night 😉 Woke up after that to a beautiful bunch of fragrant flowers from Chris. What was impressive was not the flowers, but the fact that he’d gone to the florist a week earlier and picked out the flowers AND arranged for them to be delivered…. all in Mandarin 😛 How ironic that just when our Mandarin is really shaping up, we leave for Singapore!

Yay for Mother’s Day!
(His onesie says “I LOVE MUMMY”. He picked it himself, I swear!)

We then headed out to Kommune, an Australian cafe that we love. They do fab food and a killer (giant sized) coffee. We scored an outdoor table but boy the weather in Shanghai has skipped into summer with a vengeance! It was sweltering at 32 celcius and high humidity – eek. Indulged in a yummy Big Breakfast and relaxed with a bowl (!) of coffee, before we pottered around the area. Hunter spent the entire time sleeping, which was also a nice Mother’s Day present as we could enjoy our couple-time, heh!

Giant coffee is bigger than baby’s head 😉

I’M A MUM!!! 😀

Learning to sit up at home – he can hold his head up fine,
but his back still needs to be propped up/supported.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mums out there, and most of all, my own Mum. Now that I join the ranks of Motherhood, I realise how difficult and harrowing it can be, and how heartwarming and wonderful it can be too. Hope all of you have a fab day.

Happy mother’s day Bev!! Hunter is very lucky to have you as a mom 🙂

Thank you, it’s so sweet of you 🙂

(belated) happy mother’s day! you have the most precious job to the most precious baby boy!

btw, you’ve mentioned that you guys are moving to Singapore soon, when exactly are you moving? 🙂

Also, not sure if it’s available in Shanghai, but there’s a seat called BUMBO that you can buy to help Hunter sit up. They are apparently great at supporting a baby’s back and won’t topple over.

We’re moving in under 3 weeks.. I just haven’t made a public announcement yet, haven’t gotten round to it, hee!

Yesssss I am a total convert. Before I didn’t quite see the appeal!

Babies grow up so quickly..I can barely remember when Hunter was a newborn now!

Also I am very jealous of the hot weather there…it’s currently freezing in Sydney and it’s not even winter yet!

Thanks Ayana! Next year will be in Singapore celebrating hehe..

Arghh it is stinking hot here now. summer came so quickly!

Happy Mother’s Day! And yes, I believe Hunter picked out that onesie on his own 😉

I like Kommune! Never got a chance to eat outdoors but I love the mini wooden bench tables they have indoors.

Kommune’s one of our fave cafes.. so nice and casual and the service is super :_
