My sunshine, my nephew... little yelli boo...

My little yels was born on 22nd Feb 2009... a cute and cubby bundle of joy... the first time I held him, was so wonderful that I almost cried. I remember those days of caring for him (I had quit working then) and had all the glorified fun of bathing, washing, feeding and putting him to sleep. The sounds that he makes when he sighs and starting goo-gaaa-ing just sends flutters through my heart! :)

You know what I just love about him? His sweet and yummy smell... I could just kiss and smell him all day long... I love to graze my cheeks against his baby soft hair... lucky for him and his sis (Lissy), they are blessed with a full set of hair from day 1...

Anyhow, looking through my blog...I realised that I have not put up any posts about his 1yr birthday! Goodness, it was held 8 months ago, but lemme just make some short notes and uploads some pics just to show you how much he's grown... Now he's such a sweet boy (when he's not throwing things...) and soooo manja... who can resist that slight crooked smile and the big puss in boots eyes...I certainly just melt away and start gomoling him until he screams... hehehehe

Ok... back to the birthday party... the theme was Cars... I'm not sure why i chose this theme in particular but I guess I was thinking of the many characters in the Cars movie and was excited to depict all of his baby guests as one of the characters (bailed out on this idea later... they're just too young to understand!)... And so the color was balck and red, Duh! hehehe...

We have limited space at our home, so only closests of the closests friends are invited for this tea time affair... I got my usual deco of helium balloons and handmade simple designs of traffic lights to be hung arnd the house. Then we hung a huge 'Happy Birthday' banner... For little gifts, all the guests received candies... but i reserved a special gift set for all the parents of the baby guest lists... The babies were Zara Yasmeen, Andy Zariff, Ilhan Emre, Dani Nashrin and Nia Karlysa. Each babies received some party favors such as Cars yoyo, matching color plates and utensils... and for the parents, a picture to remind them of this special occasion. :)

The party was a blast... full attendance and full of laughter and fun... We even got a small no.1 cake for Yayel...

Thank you to everyone who had made the day special for Yayel and thank you for all the wonderful pressies... he still plays with them till this day....

And you know what surprised me most? His obsession is with cars.... he can never get enough of cars... be it big, small, shiny or colorful... as long as its a motor vehicle... he'll play with it all day long... he'll say... "voooommmm..." hehehehe...
