The Princess & The Pea?

Or maybe just a cat in a poodle's disguise?

Missy's Extra: Waverly loves to climb and perch on high places, much like a cat!

Yellow Bird

Jie jie loves bird-watching (or is it chasing?). Anyhoo, this morn, we had the pleasure of having one of her friends visit. Everyone, meet Yellow Bird!

Cuzzie Nicole, this one's for you:

"Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.

Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.

Did your lady friend leave the nest again?

That is very sad, Makes me feel so bad.

You can fly away, In the sky away

You're more lucky than me..."

Party Of Three

Jie jie and I turned 10 and 3 respectively earlier this year but we never got round to celebrating because of Missy's work. We've always celebrated birthdays. Jie jie's arrival anniversaries, especially, are of particular significance. When friends receive invitations, they know, like Aunt HL once put it, that 'it's the time of the year'. Missy has been waiting a long time to make it up to us. So today, finally, we had our belated celebrations.

This time, there were no guests, but we had nature, beautiful nature, the trees and the birds, and we had a freshly baked Strawberry Tart in place of the birthday cake. And we had us, a party of three.

Missy's Extra: Happy belated birthdays, my babies!

Quick Meals

With Grandmama away at Cuzzie Nicole's so much, sometimes Heinz baby food comes to Missy's rescue when she needs to whip up something quick for us.

So what's on the menu? Pumpkin, Potato & Beef or Pumpkin & Sweetcorn.

Throw in some rice and a hard-boiled egg and viola!

It's always nice when Missy does the groceries shopping.

She always buys something interesting for a treat!

Lychees for dessert!
