His Favourite "CAR"

Here is Kdenn's favourite car magazine, flipping over and over again and again, day after day. Mummy feels its worth spending on the magazine as he loves to see it everyday, enjoying it everytime. Sometimes we thought is it mummy was working in such an environment that influenced him to fall interest in books and prints. ANd pointing hard at the things he sees on every page lor...

round and round the tiger....

Here is his favourite truck, jiujiu's toy since boy!!! Antique!!! Sure damaged in his hands soon!!

This is how Kdenn bully Daddy nowadays!!!!.... his jumping board :P:P!!!!

Noise-maker

The noise-maker loves banging on his "instruments", as loud as they can give him. He will bang real hard especially if the effect will get louder! Loud is he, and suffering are our ears!!! We have to stop him, but he thought that is even fun and that we are playing with him!!! ....loves banging on anything that can make a sound....cookery sets we bought for him at the IKEA toys, moving toys with batteries-operated, eating utensils, singing (actually shouting) with his maracas(shakers) and guitar and xylophone....hooo!!!... what does this tell us??

A Little "R-Rated"

As usual, Kdenn loves bathing till today.... he will carry his bathtub to the toilet and cannot wait till he jump into his tub, with full of water and bubbles... and start splashing.... and wet is mummy...over her face, glasses and shorts and thighs.... this is Kdenn at bathtub...splashing all the way once he gets in... until water empties...and he is then being cleaned...

his musical world - happy maracas

Thank you Auntie Fiowen for the new set of musical instruments. Kdenn loves to make sounds from instruments; "beating" on the keyboard, yes BEATING i mean; beat the drum, hitting cookery sets; tamberine; and this is his new set of Maracas! He is trying to sing with it hahahaaaa....so noisy at home every night now...

17 months on 17 may

...towards 17months is he this month... he has been transitioning fast lately, and showing us new things fast too. He is finally holding milk bottle on his own, and mummy can finally rest her back a bit. He is getting away from the cradle, increasingly over weekends. He starts to appreciate what he eats and shows interest and attHe loves to walk with eyes closed, peeping at the person he aims towards, and give the faking smile. He really loves fun, so playful to the extend he will have nightmares, and makes mummy wake up to him at least twice almost every night.

He runs to mummy and tap her on her thighs, and say "dah", and turn back, run to another person, to do the same. We thought whether he picked that word from us, as we always mention to beat him if he does something wrong. and so we go "dah!" and he picked that?? Well, as the saying goes, it takes not much time to pick up bad habits or such kekeke... and so he shown? aiyoooo....

He will also talk back in his own language whenever we stop him from doing something wrong. Sometimes he will grumble and walk away and pretend nothing happened! Sometimes he will give u the "fake-cry" face, hoping you will not get angry with him!! ...angry and yet adorable!!!

We can see he is starting to understand what everyone is saying to him, asking him to do things... ah he will respond when we call him for bathtime hahahaaa... and he will carry his bathtub from under the bed towards the toilet, my gosh!!! u definitely laugh coz the tub is so big and he is putting all his strength to carry the tub hahahaa!!! so bad hor mummy kekekekee..... and he will keep his toys, once in a blue moon only lor, by throwing back into place, but just a little while, not the full good job yet. He will also go to his bed when he sees his milk on his way in mummy's hands, guess he knows it is sleeping time.

Daddy realised that Kdenn likes to read picture books too :) Especially if they are realistic photo prints, eg. magazines, he can go flipping front and back again and again, as if he understands the informations. He has books on fruits, things, and bodyparts and yes, he points to his ear when we ask him! so cute kekekee.... and he points to his left ear and smiles to us!! ...wonder when will he know more parts ahaha.... now he knows ear, elephant, dog, puppy, hamburger, which are some of things found on his learning chart.

We are trying to see his personality and strengths, wow!! hmm....

weekend marathons

Since he started walking fast and clumsily, Kdenn has been this way at home over weekends. So that's why mum and dad rather bring him out in stroller instead of giving him risks of knocking into objects at home, running this way in and out and in and out....

Kdenn's 1st Swim, GOOD Friday!

After monitoring Kdenn's coughing and phlegm for sometime, Mummy and Daddy decided to bring Kdenn to the pool, finally, as he has stabled in health...thou there are still some phlegm at times. It was Good Friday, and a long weekend which stretched from Friday to Sunday. Kdenn went for first swim on Friday, and since he liked it so much, he went for a second swim again on sunday, both mornings. First, Daddy allowed him to play in the pool for just half hour, as it was his first attempt in a public pool. On Sunday morning, Kdenn was able to play in there for an hour, until we realised he was shivering after one strong wind came, and so we decided it was long enough liao.

Well, guess we should have expected, he doesn't want to leave the pool!! Like a kid, he cried and scream to be in there again.... even after we cleaned and changed him... He kept pointing to the pool and struggled to be there again... Well, yes, of course, no means no, enough means enough. Guess Kdenn has a long way to go from now, to understand what his limits are.

He splashes water excitedly, then try to clean water off his eyes :D

Mummy had a long-planned shopping spree to Marina Square for this wonderful saturday, bringing Kdenn along. Daddy and Kdenn were together too, from 1pm to 8pm, at the shopping mall, all the way! We finally did it! A meal outside for Kdenn, was quite smooth anyway. Daddy and Mummy were glad. Ah-gong came along in the evening to join in the dinner. Kdenn went to Kiddy Palace and got stucked again at the playing table with blocks for kids to sit and play with. As weird and unique as Kdenn always is, he wasn't interested at all in building the blocks. He was more eager in pushing the basket of blocks away, better out of the store!!! When we urge him to leave, he attempted to push the basket of blocks with him to us!! Wow!! Of course after stopping him, the screaming and crying start again!!!

You thot he really was good, can sit and play, but then... in no more than 5 seconds!!...

He is trying to push the basket away from place!!!!!!!! insteadof showing interest in the blocks!!!

Sigh, we are having a headache now that Kdenn is NOT obeying to outdoor rules, not holding hands with parents, not sitting in his stroller and be good, as he had just started to ask for freedom at outdoors, to walk on his own. He is super mischievious, super rebellious, super bull-tempered, super hyper, super "loud", super "itchy-hand" and yet, super fun-loving!!! *Daddy and Mummy faint*

Can i win the contest??

Mummy decided to send these two pictures for some baby contests from now, some from Motherhood, maybe more from others?? Must buy the magazines already lor...., whichever kdenn is eligible for!! Let's see.... Will he win any contests???

New Haircut, New Attitude!!

Kdenn in high-chair: Wonder when did he pick up this habit of putting his leg on the table!!!

This time, leave it to the Barber!!

Finally Mummy decided to cut Kdenn's hair! Shall we trim? Or really CUT!!?? It seems like there is not much growing or rather grown to maximum, and nothing much to trim. So mummy decided to cut MORE! So, in order to reduce mess at home, mummy brought kdenn to the barber for a faster and cleaner job! ...cost $6 for this new much trimmed haircut, hmm... was like...5RM at daddy's hometown for his last haircut at a barber!! ...A little regret coz we all still prefer his long "coconut" hair leh.... shall we start all over again? ;P

Pushing the Pram

Kdenn is starting to get busy and showing much curiosity in everything he can touch and see. We went Tiong Bahru plaza and was pushing his pram towards the plaza while he was supposed to walk with mummy holding hands. But then he rather help daddy join in the pushing of the pram. So touching.... is he helping in a way? heheheeeehee...

He is walking too fast!! Difficult to capture!!!

growing up - 15months

Kdenn is now going 15months and he has been picking things up fast! Mummy is surprised as he started climbing up the sofa seat last night for the first time, by himself! He was so mischievous he kept standing up on the sofa and thot he can dance and feel "freedom" ON the sofa! My gosh, so dangerous lor!!! Guess the next thing he will do is climb onto mummy and daddy's bed!!!???

He is recognising things, people and surroundings. Whenever he's playing something and something else catches his attention and he turns away eg. to the television, we start to hide his toys hahahaaa and after that he cannot find and he start searching for it around the house and thought it was suppose to be there... and he start mumbling and showing signs to us... and at times he will carry his toys to daddy or mummy or ah-ma and ah-gong to open his pack of blocks for him, he will also bring us his books and trying to tell us to read to him... so much fun in him now... he also often walk towards the posters for his reading A-Z and 1-10 and listens to us read to him. He likes to point at everything that he sees and he seems excited about it!... cats, aeroplane, buses, cars, dogs, mummy's skirt, daddy's pants, ...anything! including magazine. yes, he flips OUR magazines! Pages by pages, pointing at the pictures and trying to speak, over and over again. Sometimes it is tiring for mummy to read every object that he points to... really tiring... but still try... He plays with often not toys, but things... things that we use... and the impatient boy is always walking super fast, but then he is still clumsy and so.... he will still fall after several steps... He will also do "patrolling" all the time whenever he is at home, exploring from the kitchen to the toilet and to the bedroom and other bedrooms and again and again. When he realises that no one else is at home to play with him except mummy or either one, he will stick closely! So he is still afraid afterall!!! cheeh!!!!!! He is so sensitive he will cry to tears whenever whoever opens the door and goes out without him. Even when he is in the car seat, whoever leaves the car he will also cry to tears, and it's really "anyone" including friends whoever was sitting in the car with him. How come he so emotional hor... like mummy?? Lonely? ...And he is always very excited and very the happy when daddy and mummy bring him out on weekends and weekday evenings! He knows that he gotta wear shoes and that means going out for excitement and he will also bring mummy his shoes expecting her to bring her out hahahaa... and walking fast to the lift, waiting in the lift, walking to the carpark etc... and walking home too!!! He knows which is his unit leh!! wow! Fun fun fun!!! mummy loves to be with him more and more!! Though he hasn't stop coughing since before 2007 started... till now... phlegm just won leave him... sometimes he is breathless in the morning, but we realised he recovers in the late morning... so we thought it is still safe... though we all monitor his food closely, but it is always out of our control when he is at the BBsitter's... haizzz *sigh... what can we do when we have a BBsitter who thinks highly of her bbsitting techniques.... just have to chant chant chant hard to keep the bodhisattvas by him to protect him from any health dangers... :(

One good thing that daddy likes about him now is after night feeding, we can put him into his cot and he will go to sleep by himself after singing his own "opera" ;P and this is great! Great for mummy too.. as she does not need to hurt her back so much more...with the bending and standing etc... Kdenn is learning to get away from the rocking cradle too... hopefully it will be successful very soon... now we are all counting down to bringing him to childcare in a few months time, by the end of the year!

But what a pity, Kdenn would have another sibling by end of the year... if not for mummy's accident lately.... yes, mummy was bleeding when she is supposed to be pregnant... that day and after a scan at KK, it turned out to be an abnormal pregnancy. Therefore, Kdenn sibling no more liao... should kdenn have another sibling or not...??? actually mummy is still considering thoroughly... but seeing kdenn so happy growing he seems lonely at times... should we? should we not...? Hopefully we have good news end of the year then....

Kdenn -14months-

Kdenn is now 14months old... Lately he has been weak. He seems to rely on the puff very much.... and after that, the medicine. He has been under medication since the year started. His nose is sensitive, and so Dr said he is very prompt to runny nose, and because of that, he gets phlegm into him gradually. Finally, too much phlegm has led him to become breathless easily. He was referred to KK Hospital immediately after the 2nd puff at the GP within less than 2 weeks. The medication didn't cure him, that's why. After he was brought to the A&E, he had several puffs every 20minutes for 3 times. He cried so hard mummy and daddy could remember, so hard that after the 3rd puff, he went to sleep not long after. And thereafter, till today, he is still taking the medications, antibiotics... 3 bottles my gosh! every milk-feeding is filled with his medicines till the taste of the milk went wild now.... and still monitoring, till the next follow-up checkup.... he is so active, but then he is so weak inside.... seeing doctor all the time.... haizzz mummy really sigh leh.... coz the BBsitter don really understand and believe how hard we tried to explain that his situation is different that he is really weak and needs attention especially in what he eats!!! Kdenn, Kdenn, please recover and get over it soon!!! No more breathless, no asthma please! And mummy decided to get over the BBsitter as soon as Kdenn can go to childcare and off BBsittter's hands man!!!

Kdenn in his CNY "ah-beh" suit, crushing his own angpao!!

Kdenn at play... mess the place by pouring all the clips out and put them back, and pour out again... and keep and pour.....

The "just-wake-up" Kdenn!! What channel is he trying to receive ;P

Kdenn and his "chou-chou"

Waiting for Daddy at Parkway Parade

Mummy brought Kdenn to Parkway Parade and Daddy is meeting them there. While waiting, Kdenn got to walk by himself at the shopping mall. Being his first time in his life walking with freedom, he got just no sense of direction!!! Went round and round the same area, so exgrossed in looking at the ground where he was walking on!! ....Repeating tiles is all he found.... till he see something special...eg. dustbin!!!, or.... advertisement panels lor... as expected, can't stop beating hard at it, all out to abuse the panel!!! ... and mummy busy catching and following closely behind him lor!!! But afterall, it's super fun to bring Kdenn out to walk or shop!!! He loves exploration, and he likes to see gigantic things like the deco through the mall from basement up, and he gets excited and never stop!!! Thou it's tiring, but it's fun and memorable :)

I'll get crazy if I can get in there!!! haizzz...

Dance with Superstar!!

Kdenn went dancing when mummy played the song Superstar sung by SHE over at this webblog!! Mummy put up this song as the bkgrd music coz she thot Kdenn is really the superstar in the family right now, so it suits most! And to everyone's surprise, Kdenn started dancing when he heard this song playing, especially during the chorus. He even tried shouting as if singing along with the song hahahahaaaa..... soooooo cute.... our little Kdenn.... think mummy wants to bring SHE's concert DVD to the car to entertain him for the next drive!!! Wonder how he's gonna react in his child restraint...??!!
