Dear Chibi,

Spring is here in full bloom. We’ve had this peach blossom tree in our backyard for as long as we’ve lived here, yet it’s the first time I really noticed it. I guess we have been spending a lot more time in our backyard this year. Isn’t it so beautiful? We decided to capture more memories together on this beautiful warm day.

Dear Chibi,

Another year younger…who’s keeping count? ;) My birthday landed on a Friday this year, but Hubby made sure I still had my favourite type of breakfast~ Waffles with oreo icecream served with hot hojicha..yummmm…what a way to start the day! ^.^ <333

My dinner request was a no-brainer~ SUKIYAKI :DDD The cold has made it particularly awesome this year.

Hubby surprised me with this gorgeous Banana Caramel Cake from Patisserie New York. So delicious and pretty!! *_* The macaron..oh my.

Dear Chibi,

My sweet little P-chan, look how much you’ve grown! So curious and full of excitement and wonder…You really gave Daddy a big workout, didn’t you? :) Thank you Hubby for these beautiful photos and memories we’ll cherish forever.

Dear Chibi,

On this beautiful calm day, we whipped out the bubble wand and watched little P-chan’s face light up in awe :) There is something magical about bubbles, even if it lasts for a fleeting moment. Simple.. yet so mesmerising.

Dear Chibi,

An afternoon capturing precious moments with our 19 month old <3 These family portraits are getting harder to take because someone keeps running awaaaaaay XDDD Good thing it’s Hubby doing the photographing… and the chasing ^.^

Dear Chibi,

My sweet little P-chan, how much you’ve grown! 15 months in and you’re still as adorable as ever. It feels like I’m living in a dream sometimes. I hope these photos can freeze this moment in time, and remind us just how lucky we are to have you in our life <3

I want to live in this bubble of happiness forever.

Dear Chibi,

Happy Birthday to our most precious Little Babian <3 Our first year of parenthood has truly been the best experience of my life. I can’t believe it’s over already…my little baby is now a toddler. He makes us so incredibly happy and proud. Maybe I should save this for a Mother’s Day post, but damn I’m feeling so emotional and grateful for having him in our life T_T AH, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!! *sniff*

Dear Chibi,

Just the 3 of us…and a whole lot of love for this little monkey <3 Happy 10 months my precious baby :3

I’m in love with the photos. Thank you Hubby for capturing all the beautiful memories. It took me a long time to choose just a few to share. As always, you’re the best <3

Dear Chibi,

Can’t believe spring is officially here! P-chan can finally experience warmer weather :)

On Monday, Hubby and I took P-chan to Auburn Botanical Gardens to see the cherry blossoms. The Sydney Cherry Blossom Festival ended over a week ago which meant the busy crowds were mostly gone (thankfully). We attended 3 years ago, and the ticket prices have doubled since. I guess that’s what happens when events get too popular ^^”

We took a stroll around the gardens and managed to take some photos during the short time we were there. Our days are always planned around bub’s nap times and feeds. I think the photos turned out lovely :)

Dear Chibi,

With Hubby’s camera in hand, we spent an afternoon at a nearby park for some family time outdoors. Hubby captured so many great shots it was hard to select just a few to share… I’m going to love looking back at these photos one day :) P-chan is the cutest little munchkin :3
