hello JD

My sis told me that our cousin Jeffrey just became a Dad! It's quite unbelievable coz he's like a kid himself. He's 32. His wife Cherie just gave birth to a cute baby girl a few days ago! They named her JD. Neo JD. One would think that his wife name probably starts with 'D'...but the reason is becoz he loves to drink the whiskey Jack Daniels! Are you saying 'OMG' too?! Hello? Is he sober??!! ;p

Anyway, it's a good excuse for me to shop for girls clothes!

So today, i decided to go head to NiHong with Joel in the afternoon. I was there last week with Alynn, and i didnt think i'll be back so soon. Keke! Both of us were looking for summer clothes coz i needed to get Joel something to wear for CNY too. Or he'll just have to wear his existing clothes. (Not much luck though.) Surprisingly, we saw a shop selling some short-sleeves rompers! Coz the sellers said that some Aussies expats are going back for the holidays, so they took some short-sleeves out again. We also grabbed a few. As usual, baby boys really nothing fancy lah...and i bought the long-sleeves for Joel. :(

Here's what i bought today for little JD!
I really like the graphics on the romper & overalls - birds, owls, dog/deer... (It reminds me of Little Odd Forest bags.) I like the tiny socks with rattles too - panda, butterfly & ladybird. I saw them after i bought the Carters 6pc/pack. So JD has 9 new socks!

For the overalls, i came home and realized it's for 12mths (wrong size). So i let Joel try it out for JD! Keke... Ok, it'll fit 6-9mths. (I could also go back again to see if there's anything else for Spore's climate before i go back for CNY. I really shouldnt be going to NiHong anymore this year!)

And these are what i bought for Joel...
Coz i showed him the monkey (and sheep) backpack and he kept laughing...so i bought him the matching scarf too! (It's imitation Nici and they're all very well-made. And wide range too!) I also bought another of the ¥15 china baby vest in Penguins (coz it's quite good), a thick leggings, a warm hat (too big now), a green bomber jacket (also too big now but it's quite similar to my Alpha Industries jacket so i bought it to match mine), and 2 more of the rompers! So in the end, i think i spent the most $ on Joel's stuffs!!!

And these i bought for "whoever"(Jerome's/Elvis' niece) ...coz the owl print & colours are just too nice! But i dont dare to buy too many coz it's all long-sleeves. ;p

I'm looking forward to meeting JD in Jan 2009! ;)

P.S. I bought 2 Alpha Industries bomber jackets here during summer. If you know this brand, you'll know it's not cheap (and very nice & classic styles)! During summer, winter stuffs of course BIG SALE! So it was like less 50% off! So from about S$300++, it went down to about S$100-150. Unbelievable price! Anyway, i bought the Ladies jacket for myself & a Mens jacket for Elvis. In the end, Elvis' was TOO BIG and he gave it to his Thai friend Pick last month. (I wanted to give Ann coz she likes Alpha too, but it was a bit big for her too. Pick hasnt bought any winter jackets then, and it fits him well. It was timely too coz he was freezing!) Or else, we would have a whole family of matching bomber jackets! So uncool but cute! Haha!

JD is the initials and not the Christian name right?? If it is Christian name will be really... WAHAHA!!! You know all the 'creative' names parents like to give their babies nowadays thus condemning them for life... :op

The baby stuff are really cute!! The prints is really pretty. But boys really have so less cute stuff than girls...

we just made jiuri 'catwalk' a while ago. some of the pieces i bought are really big but we cant wait to see her in it. hehe

Jo said...

Jiuri can walk already!!! Joel is still the same - just standing.

Joel wore the 18mths rompers...long at the bottom (buttons) but it's ok lah. Wear earlier better than he grow too fat for it! Keke... ;p

The jumper cutting also seems small. Joel cant even fit the 12mths! Jiuri can start wearing soon. Can walk will be cuter. ;)
