Sairah Wanna Be On……
6 Dec
TOP! (I sing this theme song to my baby girl almost every day and yes it drives some people nuts and more nuts now that she has picked it up, hah)
A while ago, I posted at the side bar for votes for my Baby Sairah to stand a chance to win a contest. She didn’t come out first, or second or third…….but came out no 9 (hey like her birth month). All 12 babies were then asked to attend a photo shoot as Marvelous Baby is coming up with their 2012 calendar.
Yup it’s going to be a super duper CUTE calendar! More info on that later.
We were asked to attend a shoot last Thursday. More specifically at 9a.m!! My darling girl now wakes up at 10 a.m everyday so I was very nervous the night before whether we’d be ready on time. I put her to sleep slightly early and although I kept waking up a lot, I was surprised to see how Sairah slept through the night!! She promptly woke up at 7.50 a.m (which is indeed amazing) even before my alarm went off so we rushed to get her ready and were there in the nick of time. I don’t know why but I was SUPER nervous!! On Sairah’s behalf!
But the little one on the other hand was quite the diva, lol.
Oh can’t you tell it’s really early? 
Mom, chill, I OWN this alright, let me just have my turn so we can go back home!
The wait was indeed long, about 1 hour, so daddy entertained her by walking around
While mommy gave her some prep talk to build up her confidence 
And of course some beary-licious HUGS.
We were given two sets of clothes so we changed her into the first.
We got to work with the wonderful Asther Lau who coincidently did my pregnancy and family shoot. Sairah went off in pairs with a pair of twins from Ecuador (talk about being international eh).
While Asther was busy shooting the twins, I put my little one on the tiny baby bed to prep and warm her up. I started getting her into the mood by taking photos of her and after a while Asther noticed that and decided it was Sairah’s turn to shine.
When is it gonna be my turn?!
I”m pissed with the hubby because he was too busy juggling the diaper bag and errr my handbag to even take those real posing shots of Sairah hence I only have these warming up photos 
And boy did she make us SUPER proud!! She posed almost instantly like a pro, smiled for the camera, did the whole hand under the chin (and I really don’t know where she picked that one from)……..she was throughout a happy happy baby!
She got her shots done in under 5 minutes I think. PERFECTO!
Then it was off for a second change!
More prep talk going on, lol. My husband says I’m living vicariously through Sairah. Pffff. What a BIG word! I am officially Sairah’s manager though
Truth be told, I see alot of potential in my baby girl………..and I intend to be the sort of mother who polishes their natural talent while allowing my child to dip their itty fingers and toes into anything they want! And I wont even hold it against them should they decide to switch into something else a few months down the road because variety is the spice of life!
I’m cool like that.
I really love this outfit on her. And I absolutely LOVE the Sereni and Shentel baby headgear on her. Unfortunately it was a bit of a tight fit so……..hoping they’d make bigger size ones soon You can pick it up on Marvelous Baby’s store soon too
Shine baby shine (picture credit to Marvelous Baby). You can tell how fat proud I am in the photo. Asther took some pretty nice shots of her before missy tumbled down with the baby chair. A model’s life is tough I tell ya
It’s a wrap!!
We truly did enjoy this session so much. Now the hubby is so convinced this is Sairah’s calling (that is until she’s big enough to do more good things for this world like be a world famous surgeon, ahem). All he did was talk about how well his princess did at the shoot the ENTIRE day :D
I’m a star fish mommie!
I love moments like these…..where you discover your child’s potential and have that absolute annoying smirk on your face that money can’t buy.
Even the child has a smirk on over her own accomplishments 
Sairah and her Pangy (aka Penguin)
And yes if you need a baby talent you know who to contact. Ahem.
Can’t wait for the end product!! I’m almost tempted to give away these calendars to those who comment on this post, lol
High-five to u gal for getting your daughter into baby-modeling! I had hopes that I can be my son’s manager and live off his earnings! It was my hope of one day being a SAHM hahaha!!
Sairah’s a natural, so keep encouraging it.
Thanks and high-five back to ya! Well this is just the beginning I guess. LOL well get him interested in football, he can be the next David Beckham yo! As a manager you’re then entitled to a 100% cut, hehe.
He does like to kick ball…. But he’s not so stable on his feet yet (meaning — needs assistance while walking just like the mummy now!), so we have to hold him and carry him to kick ball
David Beckham, hmmmm, I wouldnt mind esp if he can make more money from advertisements also LOL!!
BTW how do u get Sairah to sleep til 10am? My son wakes up at 6+ or 7+am, and stands in cot and calls out “Mummmmyyyy!”…. And the other day at 6.30am my mum & I chose to ignore him when he got up, and he looked at the clock n said “teeeekkkk tokk teeeeekkkk tokk!”
Nah don’t worry, once he gets the hang of it, he’ll be a pro! Oh yes he can endorse so many brands out there, can make his mommy a tai tai then, hehe.
Err her sleeping time is around 10.30pm on weekdays and anywhere from 11-11.15pm on weekends (depending if she sleeps in the evening),so basically she sleeps late that’s why she wakes up late. She used to wake up at 8a.m despite going to bed late and that was quite the torture la.
OMG wow Nikhil wakes up SOOO early!! Hahaha too cute la, I think he’s such a morning baby then, can’t wait to spend time with mommy and daddy.
Gosh now I cant wait for my little girl to grow up! And does the headband match her pants/bloomers/panties? Sooo cute!
P.s. : Mind dropping me the password for yr previous post? I have a feeling I know who this is about. I could be wrong, but have been in a bitchy mood this confinement period, and would love to rant too :P
Haha yes, you know what I think you’ll love the CD collection when it comes out on this site. Yup the headband matches the CD, too cute!!
I’ve already emailed you with the password. Would love to hear your rant too. Confinement is the hardest I know, lots of conflicting ideas!
Wow Sairah looks really adorable…she really can pose…model in the making
Thanks Deepa. Yea it really depends on how excited she is. Sometimes she can be a difficult model, hehe
