X's 1st birthday

X is finally ONE! YEAH!! :)

He's grown so much over the year and is largely a cheerful bunny. Nevertheless, he's developing more of a strong character especially when there are interesting toys at stake! While X's fairly interested in his birthday present, he is more thrilled when J shares his trains...

We celebrated with a dinner cum trip to the RWS aquarium.  I think X's a happy bunny and J enjoyed himself too (he's able to indulge in X's birthday cake) =D

As for me, I love the jelly fish as they are so enchanting...

Fought to hearts' delight!

Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve

 

We thought a trip to connect with nature was timely but the boys were rather tired possibly from the long drive and hot weather. 

The best part for me was to see the 'flying fish' but I think they rather enjoyed the squirrels.

Oh well, we have to head back to the Kranji area again some day to check out the farms.

 

Conversations with J (11)

As J was eating some prawn noodles at a faster than usual pace, I decided to praise him...
me: You are good boy-boy to finish so quickly.
J: You are good mummy!

As I carried him to the car from the mall after I noticed he's rather tired from walking/shopping,
me: my hands are very tired now so you will have to walk home from our carpark.
J: I will carry you...

Aw... isn't he so smart and sweet? :P

Out of the blue,
J: I want to wear bra!
me: (WHAT??!) No, you cannot. You are boy.
J: I am girl. I want to wear.

*Gua Gua*

We LOVE...

Conversations with J (10)

J: Popo, do you want to sit my train to Choa Chu Kang?
P: No, you go ahead. Who is driving the train?
J: Uncle

J (while playing with his cars): Papa, I am going to AYE!!!
He's like a sponge! Must have been listening to our conversations and learnt that AYE is a highway. 

Happy Birthday G!

J is eager to blow candles, cut and EAT yoghurt cake. Yummy!

CNY2013

X is 10 months old

Lil' Picasso??

 X had a blast at IKEA. He loves to be placed into the baskets full of soft toys :)

 

While X is generally cheerful, he has a naughty (dark) side too and we are learning more about him as he grows.  Kind of like how we have learnt about J's moods and try to keep them in check.  Though I must say we haven't made much headway into keeping X's tantrums in check... we shall see.

Dear ZOO

LET'S GO!

Only shot of J standing still beside X. This is X's first trip to the zoo in glorious sunshine! :)

J looks so grown up already...

Family shot of the day ;P
X's refused to look at the camera in all 3 shots!

Can you spot the orang utan in the background?

Having a rest..

Looking dazed with so much to look at!

3 of us only since J refused to be in the picture...



Bye Bye Zoo!

Conversations with J (10)

Background music is 'you're my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy...'

J: Mummy, I make you happy (large smile)  =D

Aw... one of the perks of motherhood ;)

It was our 5th wedding anniversary (where we had our dinner reception) recently...

G: Boy Boy, today is mummy and my wedding anniversary. 

Later when J's pretending to cook,

Me: What are you cooking?

J: Mummy, Papa, I am celebrating your anniversary.

Amazing!!!

Looking forward to...

X's first CNY ;)

J's eyeing loads of goodies already... yum yum :P

All of us have been sick at some point over the last 2 weeks so hoping for a healthy snake year ahead...

Xmas 2012

 

This is our first Xmas with X and we also saw J performed for the first time in public :)

We are blessed to join in many different celebrations - with family, friends and also at G's office party. Enjoy the video of J's singing and 'dancing'...

Game time at J's school to dress up Santa!

Professionally developed pictures at G's office party...

J also got a balloon for himself and X... he's dead tired at the end of the event!

X's biggest love is...
