On 11/1/11, Nadine turned 2!
It's amazing how 2 years passed by just like that. From a little bundle, she's become a little grown-up who decides what she wants to wear, eat, watch, read, play or do; and can be quite persistent in asking for what she wants. But she is also now able to sit through the reading of a short story, listening intently to Daddy or Mummy read. Previously, by the third word, she'd want to flip the page to look at other pictures already. And she speaks pretty well for a 2-year-old, able to string words to make short sentences. Hopefully, this means she'll not go through "terrible 2"!
Her birthday present from Daddy and Mummy - a bike! German, nothing less!
Days before Nadine turned 2, Uncle Eu Lee came to take photos of the family. Here are a couple for sneak preview .... before getting the full CD of photos from Uncle Eu Lee.
Our happy family at the start of 2011
She was happily spinning when this shot was taken
To celebrate, Daddy and Mummy threw a small birthday party for her, inviting Daddy and Mummy's close friends, and their children, who are Nadine's regular playmates.
Happily waiting for her friends to come. At home she kept saying "i go happy birthday party"!
With Ethan, one of Nadine's favourite friends, and Uncle Mel, who probably wouldn't mind a 4th child if it's a daughter, even though he wouldn't admit it

After this birthday party, Nadine had another celebration at Gong Gong and Po Po's house. Po Po bought Nadine a birthday cake that was too big for us to finish. She's so blessed to have so many people who love her!
