Dana’s 1st Christmas Shoot
Brought our Princess for a brief 10min walk-in Christmas Shoot at The Studio Loft on the morning of our departure to Melbourne. It was very rushed for us as we still had lots of packing to wrap up but we're happy that Dana's chirpy as ever. She really lives up to her name - look at how joyful she is during the shoot! She's truly the BEST Christmas gift we've received and we ask for nothing else. … [Read more...]
“Graduation”
Our Friso Baby!Our Princess is growing up really fast. This past month alone, she made several transitions. She no longer takes her naps in the electronic cradle (or sarong) now as she can wriggle and crawl herself out of it. She's soon outgrowing her 'M' size diapers. She has also started eating porridge at the infantcare centre during lunch this week. More notably, she's graduated from Friso Gold 1 to 2 formula but seems to get hungry faster, easier. We thank God for her good … [Read more...]

What Goes on in Skool…
Dana's fever has finally subsided after 3 torturous nights and she's missed infantcare for a week now. Teacher Geraldine (the Principal) was very kind to email us some photos taken of our Princess few weeks back when an official photographer came to take class photos. Don't you think our princess looks so adorable and grown up in the school uniform? :) From the looks of it, she does enjoy her time at the infantcare and that gives us great consolation. … [Read more...]

The Origins of my Name…
When we knew we were expecting a baby girl, I wanted her last name to bear the same initials as her Daddy. Like other excited parents, we browsed baby websites trying to shortlist names which sound good and have good meanings. We used to worship at Evangel Family Church and our Senior Pastor's daughter was named Dayna. She was a very learned young lady, highly intelligent and a fervent woman of faith. When I proposed this name to the hubs, he liked it. It was one of the names we both … [Read more...]
