Milestone// Megan's First Birthday

Wow! Time flies. We have been parents for one year. Milestone for everyone!! 

Since Megan does not know what's going on, we decided not to throw a birthday party for her. Having a simple family celebration is the best and good enough. 

To make sure I will remember this important day, I have applied an afternoon off. Our usual client call with Dubai is at 1pm, but now it's delayed, so my afternoon was ruined because I had to be on the call from 3-4pm. 

Ah Lun picked me up, we went to central to collect some balloons. Heavy rain makes traffic worse. We also spontaneously decided to bake a simple cake for Megan so we bought a box of cake mix and went back home by 3pm. 

While I was having the call, chef is busy in the kitchen making the pound cake. 

He is always good in surprising us! He is not making a normal pound cake! He's making a cake in the shape of number 1.

You know I only visualized a pound cake without cream. The end product was too amazing, and It's like he's doing this effortlessly. 

Cake by daddy! Mommy needs to make the next cake, the whole idea is already making me scared. But Ah Lun said he had the idea already. He's a baker, artist and architect...

Megan was soooo happy! Kailan is already staying beneath the chair, but not captured in the pic. Just waiting for a chance....

Daddy's two hour hard work was well paid off. Our hearts were just melted, like the cream on top. 

We did not let her to smash the cake in the end because Ah Lun made the cream and cake. So much oil and milk in there, so we'd better stop her after a while. We don't want megan to have any digestive problems. 

Pick it up, put it down, and repeat 10 times

Kailan did not get any cake, but smelling Megan's hand is already putting her in heaven. 

Megan is either distracted by the balloon or the dog. These pictures are great memories for everyone. 

Ah Lun shared the photo with Tin Tin with a touching message. I was touched too. Very heartfelt thanks to our helper. This family cannot be run smoothly without her as we could be so busy at times. 

Oh by the way, megan could walk a few steps without assistance a couple of days before her birthday. We were so happy like witnessing her first rollover so long ago!!
