Da-De & Jerold

Well I do not whether the little one is a daddy's or mummy's boy. On one hand he is sticky to me, on the another hand he addressed da-de automatically when husband and I came home after work. Or is it da-de is easier to pronounce than ma-me?

Ma-Me & Jerold

In another 3 weeks time, the little one is going to turn TWO! That seems to have happened very fast to me. One year certainly passed by very fast. He just started walking one year ago and now he is going to be two.

I certainly loved taking photos with him. He is so photogenic. However it takes some skill to get him to smile and look at the direction of the camera.

At this point of time, he still do not address me automatically. I would have to tell him to address me "mummy" then he would repeat "ma-me". So sad.

Fun Morning

We went East Coast Park a couple of Saturdays ago. Lucky the weather was good and we set off around 10am. The little one had a fun time there playing with the sand and water. He was not interested in building sand castles but rather enjoyed playing with the sand with his bare hands and watering the sand with the watering can. We definately will be going back there again. But this time round we need to pack in sunblock!

Passport Photo

As I am renewing my passport, I decided to apply for the little one passport too. It is really hard to get the little one to stand straight and smile in front of the camera. Lucky there is a function in the camera that is able to take mutiple shots at a click of the button.

[ take one - smile too big ]

[ take x - decided to use this shot and photoshop it ]

Cheeky Boy 3

This little boy is full of mischief. Look what he had done with his toy bin. He practically emptied all his toys out and cover himself with the bin and walked around. Haha.

Gadget

Yes I am back to the blogging hemisphere after almost two months of absence. I kept giving excuse of losing the blogging mojo but I guess laziness was the main reason. Haha. Hopefully I would be more hardworking and post at least once a week.
Children are always curious with everything around them, my little one is no exception. His new interest or rather gadget is the iphone! I do not know how he manage to learn but apparently he knows how to slide the arrow across to unlock the phone. There were a few instances that he woke up in the morning and took my iphone and started fiddling with it. The results? He sms to my friend in some alien language and also called my in-laws place at 6.30am scaring the hell out of my MIL. Since then I decided to lock my iphone using the pin number function.

One of the little one's favourite application on the iphone is "Talking Carl". He loves to poke at Carl, tickle Carl and talk to Carl. He finds it rather amusing to have Carl repeating what he says. I guess Carl is the only one who "understands" what he says. Haha.

Being 19 months old, the little one is still babbling in his baby language with occassionally words sounding like "jie jie", "ah-ma", "por por" and "pa-pa". Are boys really slow in talking?

Drink or Play?

Recently the little one developed a bad habit. After drinking water, he would play with the bottle and let the water seep out from the straw. Knowing that he would perform such a act, I would take the bottle away from him after he had finish drinking. When I try to take the bottle away from him, he would start to cry and he would hold on to the bottle very tightly. Basically I had to force open his fingers to take the bottle. Hubby comments that the little one take after my short temper.

Family Affair

Had dinner with sis and mum last Saturday at Vivocity's 三盅两件. As usual the little one showed off his cheekness to everyone. He was exceptionally good during the dinner, did not fuss a lot. After the dinner, we went to do a bit of shopping then went back home.

Second Swim

We brought the little one for his second swim after Jovia's first birthday party last Sunday. The little one enjoyed himself very much. Initially he was just standing at the same spot playing and splashing the water. After 10 mins, he began to walk around in the baby pool, not scared of falling down. He also got his share of drinking the pool's water. Haha.

Happy 17 months old!

Another month passed and you are one month older! During this one month, you had been very playful and stubborn. You still only have 6 teeth and there is no signs that the rest of the teeth are going grow out. You are able to listen to simple instruction but sometimes pretend not to hear any of our words. You are still very clingy to your ma-ma and me. You will cry whenever we are out of your sight especially at home. You now taller than the dining table. You have learnt to climb up the dining chairs but please be careful as you might fall and hurt yourself. Love you! Smuck!
