What a way to kick start a Thursday!

How? You are wondering? Of course the timing of you waking up is "wonderful".. sigh.. at 6.50am this morning. But you grinned when you woke up and then...

You gave mummy a big, loud kiss on my forehead. And when mummy looked at you, you gave me several more kisses. Aaawww... you're so sweet. And of course, your mummy is NOT selfish, so I asked you to give daddy a big kiss too.

And of course, you did. But before that, you gave him a big smack on his face! Haha.. wake him up to ensure daddy knows that you give him a big kiss right?

It has been a long week for mummy and daddy, and any amount of kisses, be it real or flying kisses, coming from you really make our day! *Muakksss to you, sweetie*

Introduction of a new dish..

Aiyo... didn't have time to take a picture of your new dish that Ah Ma cooked up for you. Mummy and daddy left the office late today, so we rushed home, mummy gave you a shower (yup.. shower) while daddy mashed your food.

Boy.. did you love your new dish. It was a combination of US russet potato (3/4), chicken and some carrots. So colourful and you even got to drink some of the soup. Initially, you were very interested in the mash potato and did not want the soup, but after all the potato was polished, you also drank whatever soup that daddy took for you.

And on top of that you ate some sliced apples. Mummy cut them and gave them to you and of course, greedy you had to stuff them all into your mouth. I think it's better for us to feed you!!

Wonderful weekend with Ah Ku and Uncle Troy

Ah Ku will be moving to the US soon. Why? Because he's going to realise his dream of obtaining his MBA. He managed to get into his first choice school: Wharton. So he came back to spend some time over the weekend with us. And Uncle Troy who came from US also dropped by to see us. We woke up on Saturday morning, had our breakfast and got ready as we were to pick up Uncle Troy. Ah Ku had arrived the day before and was at home helping Nanna and Grampy out, in preparing for Poh Piah. It was his special request for the weekend.

When 4ee poh, 4 teo kong, your 2 Ah Chors and your uncles (Ashley and Julian) came over for lunch, you were a bit shy and stuck to mummy most of the time as daddy had gone off for his golf game. But after they left, you warmed up to Ee-ee (again), Nanna, Grampy and Ah Ku. You played with them, let them show you the light switched and even tried to push Ah Ku while he rode on your buggy. And you ate a lot of biscuits too! See:

We had poh piah for dinner again. So while daddy was eating, mummy and Seh Ku (Alex) entertained you and fed you the moi moi that Grampy had cooked for you earlier. You were a good boy and sat (and stood) on the sofa throughout the whole meal. And you finished all the moi moi that was cooked for you. Clever boy!

On Sunday we left Penang only around 2pm. Daddy had an early morning golf game. You also woke up when he woke up. Sigh.. so you napped that morning before daddy came back. We had lunch with Ah Ma and Ah Kong in mummy's favourite place, Queensbay Mall before heading to BM. We were due for a family photo shoot.

When we arrived at the studio, of course you decided to be mummy's superglue and so I had to carry you. You wouldn't even let daddy carry you when the photographer asked us to let someone else carry you! Sigh..

We went home and since you didn't want to take a nap, we had more photographs taken: (camerawoman was ee-ee and ah ku) Posing with Ah Ku

With Nanna and Ee-ee

So went to Tambun (ee-ee and Nanna's favourite place) for dinner as Ah Ku wanted to show Uncle Troy all the different types of seafood that we have. Dinner was good but it was a bit hot and towards the end, daddy turned on the aircon in the car and we both sat in there as your whole head was already wet by then.

We went home to Penang shortly after that. You were tired and Ee-ee had already gone home too. She needed to sleep as she stars work early everyday.

Phew.. what a long and busy weekend.

Drive us crazy!

Let me count the things you do that makes daddy and mummy go crazy:

-My superglue: I think ever since you got sick, you've been stuck to me like glue. But only when you see me. Just like this morning, when mummy wanted to go to work, you made a lot of noise when I passed you to daddy. But after a while you calmed down (and had probably forgotten about mummy already!)

-You wake up in a good mood most of the time: Mummy got out of the bathroom this morning and was greeted with the biggest, sweetest grin from you. To top it off, you gave me a big juicy kiss when I asked for it. And when I asked you to kiss daddy, you gave his a whack on his head.. hahaha... you must be trying to wake up your sleepy head daddy.

-You are the first person we love to see when we reach home after a long, tiring day at work: Ah Ma or Kakak will bring you to the top of stairs and we will always get to see your smiling face. Of course, Furbie stands in front you you to greet us too.. with his toy.

-Our little angel: Angel mostly when you are asleep. When you are awake, you can be very demanding, telling us where you would like to go (in the house) and which toy you would like to play with. But we all love playing with you, exhausting as it may be...

-Yes or No: You can tell us what you want. When people want to carry you, you will tell him no by shaking your head. Last week, when daddy's golf "kaki" asked you to give him a "high-5" you told him no! Haha.. And if you want something, you will nod your head.. along with your whole body shaking in agreement too.

-You need more milk for your feeds: Yup, Ah Ma said your appetite is back, and you are wanting more. Now mummy has to prepare 6oz feeds. Sigh.. I guess it's almost time to reduce my breastfeeding and introduce formula milk, as I don't think I can cope with the demands. Boy, would I miss those times we spend together when you are feeding.

- Harass poor Furbie: You're lucky that Furbie is nice to you and lets you get away with harassing him, such as kicking him and stepping on him. In fact you sometimes yell at him when he's too noisy too. But we worry that one day Furbie might bite you back. Sigh.. But I better warn you to stay away from Nanna's (crazy) dog, Chelsea. She's not as nice as Furbie!

- Our bed mate: You seem to have decided that you prefer to sleep on our bed. Every night after you sleep for 3-4 hours, you will decide that you prefer our bed and so after the feed, you will join us in our little queen size bed!

You do so many cute and funny things that make us go crazy, but we love you loads and wouldn't want you to change. Our dear little Evan, you are perfect just the way you are..

Happy Father's Day Da-da!

Happy Father's Day to Evan's Da-da.

It was a busy day today. We woke up at 8am, and soon it was time to get ready for a long, long day. We're going back to see 5th Chek Kong. He just had an angiogram and angioplasty done, and now he's home resting and also waiting to see you. I'm sure they all miss you a lot as you haven't been back to Ipoh for more than a month.

So we left Penang at 9.30am and very shortly after that, you fell asleep. Phew... And just as we entered the Jelapang booth, you woke up. All well rested. We reached home and guess what? It's Chek Kong's birthday today. So his friends brought food to celebrate at home with him. Since he was busy entertaining his friends, we went out with Aunty Natalie and daddy to buy the famous Ipoh coffee. Of course you had to poo-poo while we were out, so we went home to clean you up after that and to feed you lunch. Still not having very good appetite. Daddy and I feel like you've grown thinner, just over these few days of having the flu and diarrhea. Sigh.. Get well soon and regain your appetite soon okie, sweetie?

We played around a while and you went up to have a nap again. Of course mummy and daddy joined you while you were having your nap. You slept quite long today. Surprisingly as Ah Ma is complaining that you seem to be taking 1 nap only lately. After you woke up, mummy started preparing your moi moi. We went up to take a bath while Ah Ma cooked your dinner.

You ate more than you have been taking lately. Clever boy. Perhaps because 5th Chim Poh sat around to keep you entertained while you ate too. Also you were busy showing of your newly acquired skills to her!

We left Ipoh at around 8pm, and you made a lot of fuss on the way back before finally falling asleep, much to everyone's relief. You woke up when we reach Penang and daddy reckoned that you wouldn't sleep until 11.30pm. Luckily daddy was wrong. You slept at 10.15pm. But before that, you gave him his Father's Day card and present. I had planned for you to give it to him this morning, but we were in a rush..

Photo Session!

Last week Jing Ee's mummy told us about a bridal shop doing promotional photography for babies/children. So the following day, Ching Ern's mummy came with the advertisement (it was in Chinese) and she gathered several friends to sign up for the free 8R picture that came with the photo shoot. So during lunch time, a few of us went to sign up for ourselves and the rest who could not make it. Later in the afternoon, they called up asking us to go in for the photo shoot at 5pm! Of course we could not make it, and so we had to reschedule and picked today.

Mummy was on half day leave today as you were actually having diarrhea and so mummy and Ah Ma took you to Adventist Hospital to see Dr Mary. She said that you were fine. Initially when Dr Mary looked at you, she thought that you were very sick, as you did not move and just gave her an empty look. But when you went in to see her, she said you seem fine. So she gave us some medication "in case" and we were off. You seemed perfectly fine after that. You flashed the pharmacist your sweetest grin, earning you a nice yellow measuring spoon, and later a measuring cup when we went to pick up your medication. After that mummy went to make an appointment with the gynea and you even let Lina (the nurse in the OBGYN clinic) carry you!

Before going home, Ah Ma wanted to stop at Giant. So since we didn't bring the stroller, we let you sit in the shopping trolley. You seemed game to sit contently.. or so we thought. After 5 minutes, you got bored and decided it was more fun to sit with the groceries! So after a quick purchase, we left. Needed to get you home to rest before your photo session.

Perhaps you knew that something was up, and so after your bath, you refused to take a nap. Instead you played until it was time to go to the studio. Daddy and Ah Kong both left work early to watch you during the photo shoot. We arrived on time, but you were asleep by then. Luckily the photographer was late and so you got to nap a bit more. Soon, you were up and we got you dressed.

It was the longest 1/2 hour ever. We had to try to make you smile and also keep you in the middle so that the photographer could take your pictures. Sadly the photographer lacked the skill to photograph children/babies, as he never got any of the moments that you were smiling. He had brought out a BIG teddy bear that you loved at sight, and smiled and hugged it, but I doubt that he managed to get any good pictures. We ended the shoot with some of you smiling. Guess how... mummy, daddy and Ah Ma had to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"! Anyway, we'll see how it goes after we view the pictures.

After that we left for dinner and went home. What a long day.

Happy Anniversary to daddy and mummy!!

It's our 3rd anniversary today. Nope, no special plans. We decided to postpone to Saturday as Ah Kong and Ah Ma have a wedding dinner to attend then. So we will go out for a special dinner, just the three of us.

Today was an eventful day. On top of it being our anniversary (and Aunty Joanne's birthday: Happy Birthday, Joanne) many things happened today. Read on:

1. No water:

Ah Ma gave you "strict" instructions to wake up earlier as there was an expected water cut starting at 8.30am. Of course you were good and woke up as instructed at 7.15am. Even before mummy was ready to wake up. So you waited patiently while mummy got ready (for 10 minutes, then you started making noise!), then we both went down for breakfast while daddy got ready to go to work. So you managed to have your bath before the water was cut.

2. Head got stuck

If you are wondering what is in the picture above, this is the disaster area where you got your head stuck. Ah Ma called mummy to tell me that you got your head stuck in between the railings while playing this morning, I could still hear you crying at the top of your voice. It seems that you put your head through the railings, then slid downwards where it is narrower and so your head could not get out. You calmed down after a while and Ah Ma called mummy again and mummy tried to talk to you. Poor thing, you were still sobbing then. We came home during lunch time to see you, but you were sleeping.

Ah Ma said that this incident scared you a bit. So you were a bit manja throughout the day.

3. Still have the flu

You screamed at daddy several times as he tried to suck out the mucus from your nose using the suction thingy. Poor little guy. I hope you get well soon. Your appetite wasn't so good today, during lunch and also dinner time.

4. Insect bite

You had one bite on your face that thankfully looks better today, but yesterday you got another on your left foot and today, mummy found one more on your right hand and another on your left arm. I think you need to wear long sleeved shirts in the evenings as advised by Dr Mary earlier on. Looks like it's mosquito season again.

Thankfully after such an eventful day, you seemed perfectly fine in the evening. You even helped mummy take the picture of the "disaster area".

Flu again...

We decided to bring you to see the doctor today as your flu didn't seem to be getting better. To make us feel better, we braved ourselves to go to the hospital on a Sunday, knowing that it would be VERY crowded. Mummy and daddy planned to go as early as possible, but instead you decided to wake up early before 6 and went back to sleep again until almost 9am! By the time we were all ready, it was almost 10am. So we went to Adventist to register you at the paediatric clinic and since it was a long wait, we decided to go have breakfast. We had to go to several places before finding a suitable place to eat. The first shop had a write up in the newspaper that day so EVERYONE went there to try daddy's favourite char koay teow. Too bad, then we went to another large food court, but we were too early, so there wasn't much choices and we left.

Finally we went to our usual haunt and had breakfast while you had some biscuits. We headed back to the hospital but we'd missed your turn. So we waited a while and it was out turn. Dr Mary said you had no phlegm in your lungs (phew!) and just a blocked nose. So she prescribed polaramine and Iliadin. I think these medications must be the most prescribed medication. Several of mummy's friends have had these medication prescribed to their children too. Flu season? I guess so...

On our way home, you fell asleep so daddy took our stuff and we were on our way to BM to see Nanna and Grampy. We stopped to buy Sarawak Laksa along the way for lunch. We lazed around the house with Nanna and Grampy until it was dinnertime. And again, you fell asleep on the way to the restaurant. And you continued sleeping until we finished our dinner. So in the end, we decided to bring you home for dinner. But you decided that you were VERY hungry when we were almost home and made a lot of noise, making sure that we knew you were hungry.

So we fed you and started our journey home. Mummy forgot to inform my friends that we could not make it for the playgroup (again) this week. So excited to go to BM, that it slipped my mind. Anyhow, you still have the flu. Better not share your germs!!

Sleep

No.. not another blog complaining about the lack of sleep mummy is having. In fact, with the long weekend that just passed, mummy had enough sleep to make up for the lack of it over the week. Imagine you were such a good boy, that you slept until 8.45 on Saturday morning, while on Sunday morning you slept till close to 8am. We had less sleep yesterday. You woke up at 7.15am. Sigh.. it felt to mummy like I'd just gone to sleep, after having breakfast with daddy. He was up very early yesterday morning as he had a golf game in Kulim. Yup, he was up at 5.30am! Sheesh.. who wakes up at such a time?!

Anyway, my intention was to show a series of pictures of you sleeping. I recall when you were just born, a lot of your pictures were of you sleeping. I remember Aunty Natalie complained that most of our pictures were of a sleeping Evan. Of course you slept a lot. You were so small then. That's what you did: eat and sleep (poo and wee too!). Now, we keep hoping that you will sleep longer so that we get to complete more chores while you are asleep.

Looking at the pictures, we can tell that you've grown so much. Sigh...

Sleepy newborn at the hospital

3 weeks old baby

New sleeping position?

Mummy was sleeping next to you when you flipped and slept like this. Could not resist the urge to get up and snap this picture.

Now:

Here you are sleeping sweetly as mummy is busy typing away.

Goodnight sweetie, sweet dreams *muakkss*

Long weekend

Since daddy went off to Kulim for golf, and Ah Kong is in US, we went to Gurney Plaza for kai-kai with Ah Ma. Ah Ma wanted to buy a top for a wedding dinner she's attending. You didn't take your morning nap, so throughout the day, you were a little grouchy. We had lunch at The Food Loft. The food was quite nice, and they even had out table ready along with a high chair ready for you by the time we deiced on what to order. After that, Ah Ma and you went to Toys R Us and she bought you another toy. She's just bought you a police car that had lights and made noises when we went to Tesco Extra on Sunday morning. She wanted to get you a new toy to replace the 2 noise makers that are about to KO soon. The truck has 2/4 wheels left. It's very lopsided and the bus moves backwards only! But they still make A LOT of noise.

We went home soon, as you were getting tired and more grouchy. You have been having runny nose for a while. So while you slept at home mummy and daddy went out to run a few errands: had my eyes checked (finally!), went to the condo to have the balcony measured, had our hair cut and took Furbie to see the vet.

Nanna, 2 ee-poh and Ah Chor came soon, as they dropped 2 teo-kong off at the airport. We went to Tung Hoi for dinner. It was fun. You even let ee-poh walk around with you. She says it's VERY tiring walking around with you. Just before we left, you had a fall. No one was watching you and you tried to grab at the table cloth. Never mind.. no bruises.

You slept early again. Long weekend tires you out even more.

Cheeky Baby

We haven't taken much pictures of you lately. So while you were playing with daddy, we managed to get this cheeky picture of you wearing the beanie that Seh Ku got you a long time ago. It was a full moon gift from him.

You kept wanting to pull away the beanie the moment daddy puts it on your head. But we managed to get this picture of you posing with the impish grin before you pulled the beanie away.

Clapping..

You love to clap. And when Ah Ma opened this musical book, you got all excited and were clapping way. Daddy and mummy had to dash out to the convenience store nearby to buy the batteries for the book, as Ah Ma said you were disappointed that there was no music coming from the book.

From the video, you are walking more steadily now.

Evan's First Car

Actually this car (I think it's a jeep) was given to you when you were just born. It was a full moon gift from mummy's ex-colleagues. Of course, then you were too small to play with the car. So Anna che-che will "inspect" the car everytime she visits to ensure that the car is in tip-top condition.

Later on when you were old enough, you didn't seem to keen to play with the car. In fact you seem afraid of the car. Actually, to date, you have 3 vehicles. This jeep which is kept at home, the fire truck that ee-ee bought for you for your birthday, and a buggy that ee-ee bought for you which is kept in nanna's house. Everytime we tried to put you on the vehicles, you would cling to us and refuse to sit on them. In fact, ee-ee tried to trick you by asking you many times. I think she tried to wear you out, make you give up and sit in the buggy, but in the end, you won. You didn't sit in the buggy. I think daddy had a great time playing on it though..

Tonight daddy tried to let you play on the jeep, and to our surprise, you happily played on it. Of course daddy had to bend over and push you around. Looks like it's going to be a backbreaking play time on the jeep. Ah Ma says she won't let you play while you're in her watch. She doesn't have the energy to bend over for so long. So I guess daddy is the lucky person to play with you and the jeep. Good luck to daddy. I think he will need a back rub tonight after this play!

Weeklong torture session

Thank God It's Friday! That's the message that appears on Aunty Joanne's status for the Yahoo! messenger. And today I totally agree with her. I feel so so very tired. Why? Because other than yesterday, you have been waking up early every morning for a round of play or poo session before going to sleep.

Worst still, you wont let mummy sleep. I think this morning was the worst. You woke up at 4.30am, had a feed, rolled in our bed, decided to turn vertically and stick your legs into daddy's sides while giving him an occassional kick or two. In the end, you managed to wake daddy up, and he had to move further for you to sleep. But in actual fact, you were NOT asleep. You rolled around more and whined and crawled on mummy, then lie down queitly to sucker us into thinking you had fallen asleep.. but next thing we know, you're moving around the bed again!

Luckily yesterday you did not wake up to play as mummy and daddy had to go to work early! Phew, and luckily mummy put you back in your cot before we left as Ah Ma said that you were sitting up when she went to our room!

Other than that you woke up twice to poo in the middle of the night. Mummy had to clean you and change you and of course you refuse to go back to sleep immediately. I feel so tired now. My collegue just commented that I look like a walking zombie!!

Shopping...

Mummy had a wonderful lunch today with friends which I made while going to the mother's room at work. We try to meet up regularly and it's a lot of fun catching up on what our babies have been up to all this time. We used to chat behind the curtains as we expressed milk for our babies. Now some of them no longer go to the mother's room, so the best solution is to meet up for lunch. Our group today is smaller as quite a number of them could not make it. We went to Dragon-I for lunch. After that we went to have a look at the newly opened baby GAP. After that we also went to the adult GAP shop and La Senza as there was a sale there too.

So after a yummy lunch and even yummier window shopping session, mummy went back to the office to declare to daddy that we're going to GAP tonight to pick up "a few things". And it had to be today itself since it's the last day of the sale. Hehe... I think daddy may have wished for a moment that he did not respond to my instant message. That way he can pretend he did not get my message. Anyway.. too late.. so we went home, gave you your bath, had dinner and off we went to Queensbay Mall.

Surprisingly at 8pm it was still rather crowded. Perhaps it's because it's the school holidays. I did notice that there seemed to be more people even during lunch time. And as we approached the baby GAP store, there was a large crowd of people there. Guess why? Because it's the 31st and they were all crowding around Baskin-Robbins to buy ice-cream with the 31% discount! anyway, that's not important. We came here to go shopping not to buy ice-cream.

So into the baby GAP shop we went and mummy tried to fit you with the sandals that looked super adorable. Sadly you could not wear it. Your feet are a bit too chubby so by the time your feet can get into the sandals, the sole would be too big. Darn.. I guess your feet are destined to wear those Clarks sandals that you tried when we went to KL (which incidentally are almost 3x more expensive too!). So we looked around and picked up 2 collared t-shirts, a shirt and a pair of really rugged looking jeans. I think you have as many branded items as your Tua Ku. We bought enough to enjoy the opening promotion of RM50 rebate. This is what you got:

After that we went to the adult GAP shop. It's mummy's turn to be pampered *widest grin ever* I had spotted what I wanted this afternoon, so I zeroed in to pick up what I wanted after checking with the sales girl for correct sizing. I need to do my super duper quick shopping as you were tired and getting cranky. So with daddy entertaining you, mummy tried 2 pairs of jeans and daddy helped pick the nicer looking one, paid and we were off. Phew.. shopping for you and me done within an hour.

Goodnight sweetie.. *muakksss*

Great-grandma and Great-grandpa

Great-grandma and great-grandpa (what a mouthful) will be staying with us from Wednesday until this Saturday. Why? Because everyone in their household have gone off travelling. Yup, even Annabelle che-che. She's gone to Singapore with her mummy, daddy and Grand-Aunt.

And how did you react to your Ah Chor's in the house? Ah Ma told me that you didn't allow them to touch you initially. But later you warmed up to Great-grandma. You even allowed her to hold your hands and walk with you around the house. But when Great-grandpa wanted to hold your hands you shook your head at him. Naughty boy.

But in the evening when Great-grandma went up to her room to take her medication, you wanted to follow her up to her room. There, you played in her room (actually it's your playroom), climbing from the bottom bed, to the top bed, back down and on the floor and throwing your toys all over of course...

Soon after we went back to our room. You changed and played a while before having milk and going to sleep.

I'm glad they are here to stay. At least you will get to know them better. Otherwise, when we go visit them, you will refuse to let them touch you.

Great-grandparents carrying you when you were small (before full moon)

T-Shirt from Ah Ku

Nanna went to Bangkok a while back to spend some time with Tua Ku and she passed a couple of Jim Thompson t-shirts that they bought for you. One was red and the other was blue. They think you are a big boy so they bought larger sized t-shirts. So here's the smaller of the 2 t-shirts that you can currently wear. Cute? I love the elephant on your shirt.

14 months old today!

Our baby Evan... 14 months old today. And what is the best way to celebrate? With a visit to Dr Mary. Hehe.. time for the final jab for pneumococcal.

We decided to take the risk and go during the night clinic today. And guess who we met there? Abby! She was there to see Dr Mary as she also got a bad bite on her foot, and was thus prescribed anti-biotics like you were before.

When we reached, you gave the poor nurse a difficult time when she tried to take your weight. You refused to sit on the "chair" to get yourself weighed. So she suggested that you stood on the "big boy" scale. But you would not stand still.. so she could not get an accurate weight. In the end, mummy had to put you on the seat again with a little toy in order to get your weight. So current weight is 9.8kg.

There were quite a number of patients before you so you got yourself (along with mummy and daddy) busy by walking around the waiting area and also daddy let you go on the slide a few times. When more patients came, you could not play anymore as they were a lot bigger and we worried that you may get stepped on! So you walked around and even said "hi" to the nurses.. I lost count, maybe it was 10 times!

It was your turn finally. Dr Mary was happy with your weight and so she gave you the injection. You started crying as she asked mummy to hold your hands over your head and she used the alcohol wipe on your left thigh. The needle was in and out very quickly and you cried but stopped when mummy carried you up. Poor little guy...

Let's Party!!!

Mummy had some friends over today during lunch time for a small party at the condo. So there were 16 adults and 7 babies/children. Big group eh? Lucky the condo could take so many people.. maybe more even!

We woke up and had a lazy morning before getting ready to go buy some things needed for the party. Of course before that, mummy cooked your moi moi along with some extra for Kelvin. Shortly after we left the condo, you fell asleep. So we took a slow drive to pick up the fruit tarts, buy nuggets and order pizza on the way back. So you managed to sleep for 45 mins. Phew.. we were worried that if you didn't get your morning nap, you'd be all cranky when our guests arrived.

We reached home and Ah Ma came with the pork rendang and apple salad that she made. While waiting for our guests and pizza to arrive, mummy fed you your moi moi.. otherwise you might get too excited and not finish your food. Surprisingly they arrived quite punctually (bearing gifts too!), and so the balance of your moi was left untouched after all. Sigh...

Everyone sat around chatting while having lunch or taking turns to take care of their children. You didn't know how to play with other children, so you tried to stick to mummy like glue. Luckily daddy and Ah Ma were around, so they helped entertain you while mummy chatted with friends and had lunch. Ah Ma even got the chance to "babysit" other babies while daddy entertained you!

So today you got to meet, Jing Ee, Grace, your "old" pal Kelvin (met him last week), Erin, Ethan and Dwayne. Ethan seemed interested in you as he was following you everywhere!

Everyone left around 3pm as the babies were tired. Time to go home and nap.. You on the other hand refused to take your afternoon nap. You continued to play and finally went to sleep at 4pm. You slept on the bed with daddy while mummy cooked your moi moi and went to join you all in slumber land after it was cooked. What an exhausting day.. you both slept for 2 hours. Mummy wanted to sleep longer, but you refused to let me..

Thanks to the aunties and uncles for the gifts. We got a nice carpet for you to play on and also a beautiful bedsheet set for our new condo.

Noise makers

Two innocent looking toys? NOT! One is a present from Nanna for your birthday, another was bought by Ah Ma. Both will drive any sane person crazy, but NOT for Evan Ban!

Yup, you just love both these noise makers. They play the same song again and again and again, and yet, you don't seem to get sick from the noise. In fact, if anyone tries to turn it off, no matter where you are, you will zero back to where they toys were and insist on turning it back on again. Worst still, they need to be turned on together! Sigh.. maybe we should get ear plugs.

On top of that, I'd suggest to everyone out there to buy shares in the battery factories. All these toys seem to require batteries.. lots of them. Keep having to buy more batteries! Ah.. another excuse to go shopping this weekend. To buy rechargeable batteries!
