A busy weekend for Jared and us

Jared has got a busy weekend. On Sat we brought him to the zoo, thanks to Lisa who's so kind to help ballot the tics. This help mummy save lots of $ hehe.
We got there around 9am, but I had to wake up around 6am to make Jared's porridge, boil water, make our own sandwich etc.

Weather was really nice, not too hot. But Jared never seems to like outdoor activities, no much _expression on his face and sleep most of time when we were there. He also refused to smile to the camera, not sure whether he is unfamiliar with that camera (We got the old cam to fix) or just not happy hehe. Anyway, he manage to see some monkeys, orang utan, white tiger, fish, giraffe, zebra, horse and polar bear.




At night, we went to Lisa's place @ SengKang to return the tics. A pic of Jared & Rae, Rae was born on 14 Dec, about 3-4wk younger than Jared. hmmm..jared's hair is way too messy as compared to Rae, need trimming soon..probaly next wk.

On Sunday, we brought Jared to join a trial class of Kindermusik together with the Dec babies. Jared again seems to be the toughest bb to handle. Refused to join those activities which required us to sit down. Luckily he still enjoy all the rest of the classes which required us to move around.

Jared is 10 mth old!

Time pass so fast that Jared's already 10mth old. Last night something interesting happen. When we heard him cry at nite, he was found to be out of the mattress already..knocked his head to the fan. Luckily all of us sleep on thin mattress on the floor hehe.
These are what Jared could do at 10 mth:
1) Crawl on all fours..but still slow and hardly crawl
2) Recognise object such as watermelon, microwave, clock, chopstick, papaya. (Jared will turn towards the object when asked where is it, and give a big smile when we praise him to be able to find the object)
3) Say papapa, mamama, kaaaa, brrrrr etc
4) Stand supported by the cot (It has been a while since we go back to our own home where his cot is there, so we had no chance to see Jared's skill on this part till he's at 10mth!)
5) Stand unsupported for a few sec (So far only ah yi hv the priviledge to watch it once, mummy& daddy hope to be able to witness the moment ourselves soon !)

6) Jared is 9.3kg now

7) Jared have 5 pearlies

Unfortunately, my milk drop quite badly ever since I've got back from US trip. So since 9mth 3 wk Jared is on 50% bm. His 2pm & last feed are on formula nowadays.
Our camera's memory is spoiled also, none of the pics can get downloaded including Jared's harley davidson and our US trip. So sad. Hopefully we can get this prob fix soon and take more of Jared's pic.

Some pic taken using ah yi's camera today. I felt he look pale? He has reject porridge for 2 days. Mouth kept shut whenever wai po tried to feed him. Hope his appetite will turn better soon.

2nd Honeymoon with Daddy to US 1Sept – 9 Sept & Jared's Harley Davidson

Finally manage to take 1 week off from Jared…*Hiak*Hiak* Jared, please don’t blame mummy. It has been a full 9.5mth that mummy has not taken any off days from you..hehe.

We went to San Francisco and Las Vegas. It was such a torturing flight 6hr to Narita, 2hr transit time, and another 10hr before I finally met Kee Ping at SFO airport. I left home around 4am on 1st Sept. Couldn’t wake up at all, cos Jared was waking up almost every hourly. Luckily daddy did call home to wake me up. I think I only managed to reached SF hotel at 4am 2 Sept Sg time. It was a total of 24 hour torture.

We started off the trip by walking all the way from our hotel at Union Square to Chinatown and finally Fisherman Wharf. Daddy don’t want to take bus and want to repeat the history of making me walk 10hrs a day like over in Rome during our previous trip..aiyo! But most of time I felt SF a bit too cold(60F)to move around, so I’ll forced Kee Ping to learn how to take the public transport hehe.

We went to Chinatown, Union Square, Fisherman Wharf, Alcratraz, Lombard Street, Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito in SF.

For Las Vegas, is the total apposite! approx 100F. Much hotter than Sg. Again, Kee Ping tried to force me to walk under the hot sun!!!..Just after 2-3 hotel hopping(covered only the nearest 3 hotel, my face get as dark as the Indian gal, everywhere peeling so I gave up…and go back to hotel to wait for the sun to set before going out again. Hehe.

We managed to watch Phantom of the Opera our first stage show! It was superb! I really like the show very much, although we sit quite far and can’t really understand the lyrics etc.

Besides that we also rent a car to travel to Grand Canyon and stay a nite there.

Some photos of the trip: (To be updated later)

Okie okie, this is supposed to be Jared’s Blog..so should be everything about Jared!

After 2 weeks of commando crawling now occasionally Jared can crawl on all fours. Jared was also a happy baby during the times when we were away, he slept thru the nites, drinking well and eat lots of porridge too! Wai po was very happy with his performance.

Take a look at Jared’s new Harley Davidson! It’s a gift from Wai po, as she strikes lottery..hehehe…With Jared Brrrr Brrr whole day..sure this Harley Davidson is the best gift! hehehe (Taken at 11mth)
