Gong Xi Fa Cai - Happy Lunar New Year 2008!

Happy New Year 2008!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!!

Well, well...what will be Daddy and Mommy's most wanted aspiration for me? Doctor? lawyer? Musician? Nah, definitely not at this stage...Perhaps a more obedient, happier and smarter boy instead. *Yawn* What a boring wish for the new year...

Ok, here's a more realistic resolution for myself this year. I will try to learn to appreciate simple music, ok? I promise I will be good and care for the musical instrument and not banging and destroying them like I did in the toys department. Lucky for me, none of the sales ladies have seen my destructive act else I would have a hard beating from Daddy and Mommy already.

Huh? Ask me to compose music??? Oh please la, please spare me...I am just 1 year plus and not the music-gifted one. As long as I don't throw the instrument and tear the parts apart, I am considered quite a good boy and would have accomplish the goal I'd set for this year already. Right? Keke...

Merry Christmas 2007

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

We did not bring our boy boy out to enjoy the festive celebration happening downtown on christmas day. Basically, the three of us just idle at home...Yes, doing nothing but eat, sleep, play and staring the computer screen all day (if our boy boy allows).

Well, reckon must be very boring for our little boy boy but we have all the excuses to keep our boy at home. Excuses like it was too crowded outside la, Mommy was not feeling well la, boy boy still cannot walk steadily la, too many things to do at home la...but the truth is Daddy and Mommy are simply too lazy to go out la. ;p

But at least we got bring boy boy out for some shopping fun and experiences of the pre-christmas atmosphere and mood out there, right?

Ok, we promise boy boy that we will bring you out next christmas ok? We promise we will not keep you at home on the next christmas day, ok? Come on, give Daddy and Mommy your big sunshine smile...

My Cousin's 1st Birthday - 3rd Nov 2007!!!

Wow, it was my very first time attending such a great birthday party...and the birthday boy is none other than my handsome cousin, ZAVIER!!!

Oh boy, the place was decorated with lots of beautiful ballons and Pooh banners. There were even pictures and posters of my adorable cousin for guests' viewing. Guess Zhiming shu-shu and Fengyan shen-shen must have put in a lot of efforts to make this birthday celebration such a success...

And here's a little private session with my buddy...

Our BB can walk!

Hurray, I can walk with the assistance of this "push-cart", a gift from Zhiming shu-shu and Fengyan shen-shen...I can walk freely finally!!!

Hey, Mommy is wrong! I don't even need to learn how to crawl first before I can start to do the walking. See, I can walk steadily with the "push-cart" even though I haven't mastered the proper crawling milestone yet.



Oh boy...Look at this! My favourite "cow rocker", a gift from uncle Edmund and Jackie yi-yi. I am having so much fun riding on the cow. Hip, hip...Hurray!

BB's First Year Birthday

Specially dedicated to our little boy boy who just turns ONE...

Oh, it’s your very first birthday, boy-boy
Daddy and Mommy had thought about how to celebrate

We thought of making it big and grand, boy-boy

But instead we came to a conclusion to make it exclusive…

We ordered cake from Pine Garden, boy-boy

Lychee martini with simple customization was what they recommended

We wanted to order mini buffer from Four Seasons, boy-boy

In the end we settled for a table of 11 with 2 babies at Pu Tien…

We gathered everyone in our place, boy-boy

Your smile stretched from ear to ear

An icing cake with a single candle to celebrate, boy-boy

The joys of your very first year with gifts and blessings from all…

We sang you a Happy Birthday song, boy-boy

From English to Mandarin version we all sang

We marveled at how quickly the time had flown, boy-boy

Oh my, your first 12 months had been simply so wonderful…

You bring sunshine to our everyday life, boy-boy

You are our treasured prize and we’re just so proud of you

We couldn’t have wished for a better son, boy-boy

Who giggle and cling onto us like Scooby Doobly Do...

For the first 6 months you were really guai (obedient), boy-boy

You sit still in high-chair and were quite quiet for awhile

You spent a lot of time in the pink rocking chair, boy-boy

But when we switched you to walker and you started to smile and fly…

Your favorite is baby bites (biscuit) and yogurt, boy-boy

As for water and milk, you really struggled to swallow

But what you love most is the human company, boy-boy

So everywhere we go, you are sure to follow…

Your determination and temper match Mommy, you know

And you’ve playfully display the stubbornness and frowning like Mommy…

You love to watch peek-a-poo (and baby animation), you know

You’re always excited when we switch on the TV set...

You really love having bath full of bubbles, you know

You make us laugh with your splish, splash and splosh...

Your first words were mun (not mum), ba (not pa) and Aei (not wei), you know

And you love to play with your saliva with “boo-boo”

We would say “1, 2, 3, clap, clap, clap”, you know

And you would put your hand together and clap

We would shout “No, cannot touch”, you know

And you would simply smile at us and ignore our scream…

Now, you’ve started to take your very first steps (assisted), boy-boy

Fast or slow doesn’t matter much...

We look forward now to seeing you progress and grow, boy-boy

Take your own pace; strong and steady is all that we care

To our little pup of just one year, boy-boy

We wish you the happiest 1st Birthday…

Here’s to you, little Randal,

You’re our star and we love you very much

Here’s to you, little Randal,

We looking forward to another wonderful year ahead...

BB's 11th month

Our very own funny baby video...We didn't anticipate that a simple "zip and zap" would make our little boy so amused until like that...Funny baby!

BB's 10th month

At 10th month, our little boy has only 5 teeth (3 upper teeth and 2 lower teeth). Look at his grin with the 2 visible teeth, isn't it cute?

Progress wise, he can only manage to stand up without support for mere 1 minute (provided no movement) before his legs turned jelly and fell on the floor. At this stage, he still can neither crawl nor walk. All he can do or loves to do is clinging onto anyone (hugz hugz) and shouting out "aei" (similar to "wei") to the familiar faces he knew or places where he frequent regularly (the chicken rice stall opposite our block) .

He's still the little sunshine in our house who never fails to brighten up our everyday life. But he is a little timid (or a lot?) though. Sometimes, he can easily be frightened by unfamiliar faces (stranger anxiety) when the "stranger" appeared suddenly and touched him. But he will gladly or happily open his arms wide wide to anyone if he wants to be carried (Oh, No!).

Father's Day Special - To Daddy with LOVE!

Mommy (on little Zheng Jie's behalf) wanted to give Daddy a small wallet-size picture of us for his FIRST Father's Day gift.

Since Mommy and Daddy love the picture of little Zheng Jie in his bath-tub so much that Mommy feels that Daddy would want to carry this lovely little piece of picture with him always; day and night; in and out of office and home; anywhere and anytime...

To Dearest Daddy with lots of LOVE...
For there's always LOVE in Daddy's hand...

BB's 9th Month Special - A fun day at Cousin's place!

Guess no need for me to elaborate...

Lots of, Lots of and Lots of TOYS...

It was simply FUN and FUN and FUN...HURRAY!!!

My First Hair-cut

I have so little hair already yet Daddy still wants me to go for a hair-cut. I have not been to any of the hair salon ever since I was borned. I wanted to tell Daddy to save the $5 shave and the hassle but guess Daddy couldn't get my hint at all.

I did not really enjoyed the session because the HDB hair salon aunty was so slow in shaving my "already-so-botak" head. After about 10-15mins of torture, the session finally ended with all the leftover hair strands on my face, neck and back.

But boy, I felt so refreshing after the shave! And even much more refreshing after a really nice cool bath! Cool!!!

MY FIRST 2 SWIM FEATS

FIRST SWIM FEAT
I had my FIRST "swimming" trial at the pool finally. If not for my cousin Zavier, I guess I would not have got the chance to step into the pool even before I turn One. Thanks to my buddy!!!
To prepare me for the "swim", Daddy and Mummy bought a nice piece of swim suits for me (last minute shopping again). But they were so absent-minded that they forgotten to bring the most important swimming gear(the FLOAT) on my FIRST "FLOATING" session. What a let-down! Luckily my cousin was so kind to share his FLOAT with me.

SECOND SWIM FEAT
Again, thanks to my cousin, I was able to "dip" into the pool for the second time. I love my second "dip". It was definitely much more fun than the first one.

Picture paints a thousand words. Look at the big satisfying smile on my face and you will know that I was enjoying the "swim" (on a FLOAT) to the fullest. Can't wait for the next session!!!

BB's 8th Month

... ... ...

... ... ..

Just enjoy this simplest form of SMILE

... ... ...

Sometimes we live life but never know why

We live high and expect more from the sky

Sometimes we lose heart but not willing to give up

We live up and continue to keep up...

***

Life's down, life's up

Lose heart, take heart

Look up, keep up

Live life, that's our life...

***

Messenger of happiness, package of smile forever

When we feel down and low within

We look at life in its purest form - YOU

And have a smile - from YOU

***

To our dearest boy boy...

Keep it up, boy. Keep bringing the sunshine in.

Day and night, rain or shine

Continue to brighten our days

And share your smile with people around you...

***

BB's 7th Month

Uncle Anton is teaching our little baby to walk...Ah Qi is oblivious to the danger that our little boy may fall and land on him. Jia You, Jia You, little boy. But no hurry to master the walking skill cos Daddy and Mummy are still enjoying the privilege of having you clinging on us like Koala bear. 8)

Ok, ok, Mommy admit she's lazy. Furthermore, it's much more convenient to get the food off the shelf. Save a lot of hassle, you know.
But don't you agreed that the jar food is much more tastier than the pasta that Daddy prepare for you? keke...
(Well, at least Daddy made the effort to prepare and cook food for little Zheng Jie. Kudos to Daddy!!!!)

BB's 6th month

We have never failed to see the wide smile on our little boy's face for every bathing session. Gosh, look at how big he has grown. It's only the 6th month but look at him...the bath tub seem small to fit him now.

Daddy said he will teach little Zheng Jie to swim "one day". Little Zheng Jie gotta be patience, ok? The "one day" maybe a year later. keke. A Pity Mommy doesn't know how to swim (doesn't like swimming either). So, will leave the swimming task to superb Daddy!!!

Embracing the New Year of the Golden Boar!!!

BB's 5th month

So, how's our little one progressing?

In his 5th month already and he's still growing strong (rounder as well) each day...
However, a surprise twist...PD commented that he's well-developed and close to perfect for his height and weight. It's in the right percentile. Perfect? Did Daddy & Mommy heard wrongly? Perfect range indeed!!!

No grumble so far...
Time to eat, he eats...
Time to play, he plays...
Time to sleep, he sleeps...
BUT not when there's people and activities around...

Our little one yearns for attention...
Especially when he sees people or hears noise.
Most importantly, he loves to be kissed, carried and hugged.
How can we ignore a little baby totally?
His innocent look and smile simply melts the Giant's heart...

BB's 4th Month - BBQ & Get-together Day!!!

Hurray, our little boy has passed 4 months already. Growing rounder and rounder each month...

Jad Yi-Yi organised a BBQ cum Get-together session for all of us at Uncle Anton's house. Time to take our little boy out for his first BBQ session.

Some pictures of Little Zheng Jie with Uncle Desmond, Jad and Moon Yi-Yi. Little Zheng Jie seem couldn't wait to get closer to Jad and Moon Yi-Yi at Uncle Anton's house. His eyes kept grazing at Moon Yi-Yi's rainbrow bracers. Bet must have been captivated by the beautiful colours.

We had a little surprise after the BBQ session...
Celebrating Mommy's BDay at the same time. How nice of Moon Yi-Yi to get Mommy's favourite Amara Hotel cake. Yummy!!!

Oh boy, Mommy had wanted to give little Zheng Jie a small taste of the cake but Daddy said "NO". Why? Simply bcos sugar is no good for young babies.

So, guess our little boy have to wait until 1 year of age before he can get his first taste of the cake...

My Little Walker

Putting me on a walker's test??? Wooah...see the big smile on my face? I am having so much fun in this little walker, a gift from, err...dunno who la... Doesn't matter who's the giver so long as it brings me the ultimate fun.

Shoo, shoo, shoo...Little Walker brings me from one end to the other end. I can go to almost every corner in the house now. And I can touch the glass panel, the water feature in the living room and all the things that I longed to touch but could only "watch" previously.

Thanks to the kind one who bought me this very useful little walker!!!

Well-fed? Over-fed???

Oh man...So many people have been commenting our little baby is a bit way over-rounded. Well, well, the rounder the better and more adorable, isn't so?

Little Zheng Jie had his 2nd jab of 6-in-1 plus the 1st vaccine of rotavirus taken at the GP clinic today. Daddy took the opportunity to ask the doc to take the weight measurement for our little boy. Oh boy, 7.45kg. Doc said slightly over the average weight for a 3 months old baby.

Well, well...does it means that our little boy needs to cut down on his intake?? Daddy said no need to worry since both Daddy and Mommy were also "very well-rounded" when we were both babies. May have to worry if little Zheng Jie is still rounded at the age of 1yr then??? Well, we'll see...
