Life with Nur Sarah (0-1 Month), (Month 1), (Month 2), (Month 3), (Month 4), (Month 5), (Month 6), (Month 7), (Month 8), (Month 9), (Month 10), (Month 11)
It is almost Sarah's 2nd birthday and here I am posting her 1st birthday photos. I kinda feel bad but better late than never?
We didn't plan a party for Sarah's birthday. We didn't have much of a social circle and can't say much about my family when it comes to planning get together. Plus, I want to be consistent with our celebrations. We are not the kind who go all out for birthdays anyways. We usually have either a special outing, meal and/or photoshoot.
For Sarah's birthday, we celebrated at home for a DIY photo shoot and a shell out lunch, inviting my family of course. Jhon and I started the day early prepping and cooking the food and it's so leceh lah. One thing for sure, that would be the first and last time I do a DIY shell out and I am willing to accept to pay extra for the meal. haha It's sedap though.
We ordered Sarah's cake from Bob the Baker, choosing a design they already have, only requesting for a pastel purple/pink shade. The cake topper was bought from Q10. The theme of the party/photo shoot was minimalist purple/grey. Jhon had his grey backdrop, we bought balloons and a rustic flag bunting.
Minimalist has always been our go-to theme. It will never go out of style and it does not outshine our little Sarah. I love this little girl so much and more than grateful to have an easy baby; clingy, but easy.
When I thought I couldn't love this little girl any more, she would so random adorable things and my heart would expand in ridiculous ways. As much as I love Sarah as a baby, I couldn't wait for her toddler-hood as I know that is when it really starts to be fun and interesting. There will be more responses, milestones to be reached and truly see her character and personality spring to life.
We tried to do a cake smash but it's a fail because Sarah is a cautious baby and not reckless at all. She loves to investigate or analyze before going all gung ho to anything she sees. I like that about her. hehe It also has a silver lining because we don't have to clean up a mess and to be honest, Jhon has a pet peeve with a messy or dirty eater. A cake smash would probably disturbed him rather than thinking it's adorable. haha
Of course, Mama must join it even though Papa didn't want to only because he is in photographer mood and wearing home clothes. I told him, he may regret capturing the day together but oh well! He said he is happy using his phone. bluek
Behind the scene shots aka test shots
She looks just like me when I was a kid in this shot! urgh!
And that concludes the end of the the post. I am so backdated with my posts with Sarah and I am wondering should I just post them as a Blast to the Past kind of thing. One thing for sure, I have to really commit and be consistent so I can be up to date ASAP. We shall see! I just love looking and reading back my posts and reminisce through blog more than other social medias.
