Chubby Enuff???

Daddy thk she won't be able to proceed to finals! Cos she is not chubby at all! But I thk she is looking much prettier these days, with the little cheek tat's not the chubbiest...yet just nice size..and with her hair longer.. hehehe...




Taken with and without flash..
With natural light, Kaylen look much better cos fairer..hehe...with flash, cannot make it..but without flash diff to take pics tat's clear though...out of 20 pics taken probaly only 1 or 2 is clear..

The weekend Ritz Calton Hotel stay...

Phew~~..lucky the stay wasn't too bad..But it was not an easy one with a baby tagging along...So much packing, so much crying, so much luggage...till daddy and me were quarreling ..and angry with ourselves to get the hotel stay..So much hassle for just 1 day stay..

Everything changes the moment we step into the room, ...The view just soooo impressive...the room is so big and nice! The bath tub and its view..and can only say..Wowow...

We took the double room with 2 super single bed, each sleep with each kid...

Nice sofa with view of Nicoll Highway...and slight view of Singapore flyer

Jared in room feeling hungry..and had to eat poky..before wait for my mum to send dinner..while daddy and me indulge at Greenhouse..hehe...

Swimming at the hotel pool...Kaylen's first dip!..She didn't like it, keep crying as she was already sleepy..so we take turn to carry her sleeping..Jared had so much fun swimming though!

Jared dip in the bath tub while Kaylen used their sink to bath..It's even big enuff to fit Kaylen!

Before check out..still love the views..

5 mth 2 wk 22 Feb 09:K started solid!

She's in!

I'm soooo nervous now!!

She's in the semifinal of chubbiest cheek baby contest by mediacorp!

Oh yes!!!!.

Hehehe...

The story goes like this, I saw the contest form from i weekly magazine for continous few weeks..Was keep fan-ing that Kaylen don't have a studio pic to submit...and finally I still show my mum the contest form...on the day I took AM leave to bring Jared to his new school for enrollment...

But when we were back from school, I got so tired and need to rush back to work...I told my mum i lazy to submit when she reminded me again..Told her to forget about it.
When I'm back from work, mum told me my sis had help to send. (My sis is absolutely supportive for all kind of lucky draw ever since she won a pair of brilliant rose wedding band worth 5k from mag contest!, That's explain why she is so on to help..hehe)

After submission..deep in my heart ..I was still hoping Kaylen have chance..hehe..

And finally while I was in meeting...I RECEIVED that call!!!...

*Now I'm fan-ing what can I wear to go to the contest!..Note: not Kaylen it's ME!!..So fat, pai seh lerrrrr...*

p/s I wouldn't thought of any contest for the kids ever since Jared's healthy baby contest at Whampoa CC...It was such bad experience, cos it's so hot, so many ppl and wait too long...and finally he fell asleep before seeing judges..It's enough of embarassment....

But this round during CNY, Irene's hb Chris asked me when I'm gonna bring her for contest..said she is sooo cute, so pretty..That's how the encouragement comes..Hah!

The Contest: 27 Feb 1.30-2.30pm..Singapore Expo

I found these infor from google ..It mentioned only first 3 prize, hopefully they will give at least 1 tin of similac to semi finalist who made it that day! hehe

p/s This is the pic I used to enter the contest

Another Milestone met- Flipping @ 5 mth 9 days 15 Feb09

Taken on 16 Feb, 2nd day of flipping..she look like a ball turning around yeah! heh

Happy Birthday to Waigong!

We celebrated my dad's birthday earlier this year on V-day at Paramount restaurant @ Paramount hotel..


Kaylen's first time sitting on high chair..

Family pic..

Kaylen is 5mth old!

- She LOVEs me..!!!
Hehe, especially night time, she would cry and cry just for me to carry..Just before CNY, when gong gong and mah mah came over our place, we left her at home while we brought Jared to have breakfast at Sun Plaza. They had to call us to come back immediately cos Kaylen cried non stop..Once I took over her she would be good..hehe..But the "love" is getting lesser and lesser everyday with me coming back late from work..

-Still Breastfeeding..and another 7month to go!
She still drinking ~3oz to 3.5oz 3hourly, very little, and I thk she has stop keep on growing fat..she probaly maintained the same weight as last mth...

-Physical achievement
Not very good, still have no intention to flip yet...but can turn side way when angry..hehe...Can hold bottle when really hungry.. Put everything she grabs, into the mouth (Jared wasn't like tat)

-Relationship with korkor
As far as Jared still loves to bully her, yet her love for korkor never reduce....She enjoyed looking at korkor and will calm down when see korkor.

-Her hair
No sign of dropping

-Sleeping
Still sleep through, and becoming easier to handle at night...at most 11pm she would knock off...She could stay awake from 3pm to 11pm..steady loh..Jared last time awake 1hr sleep next hour...don't have much energy

Their first CNY comparison...

Can you see the diff btw the yin2 liu3?

also we use the wrong chair for kaylen

Happy CNY 2009- 4th day, Hung's farewell

Kee Hung-daddy's bro..came back from Australia..this year he helped out a lot in the kitchen...most dishes were contributed by him,..and all the washing hehehe..

Kaylen dressed in t-shirt and jeans...It's 6-12month clothes from FOX, and she not even 5 mth already can wear with tight fitting..*mummy headache* Jared 6-12mth clothes from FOX can wear til 2 yr old..

Happy CNY 2009!

Every year if CNY celebrates with Daddy's family, we would wake up to have mee suah with egg..Then bath, and change to new clothes..and followed by a series of effort trying to take as many nice pics at home as possible hehe..



Even without the kids, taking pics on 1st day of CNY is their culture..

This year as Jared grown bigger it's so hard to take pic with him...He wanted to be the one take pic for us instead...to be the one press the camera button when we set up tripod..and want to run like us after press timer...

He has even grown smarter to estimate when the camera is gonna take the pic, then at the last second he would turn away!!..

As for Kaylen, she's like the gem of the family, each day change so many outfit..and everyone come and complement how cute she is..hehe..

The most strange thing is in a pic, if Kaylen is ready..Jared sure not ready...it's hard to take the pic of both them ready and nice..


This year, Jared and daddy wear the same red Polo ralph polo...The clothes were bought Sept06...2yr+ ago when daddy go US..finally the could wear the same thing on CNY!..But just before wearing we realised it's different red! hehe..

See jared so nice in the pic, but Kaylen was crying...

2nd day of CNY..jared fall sick, had stomach pain and fever..so he wasn't in mood to do anything..
Kaylen's ah mah, tie her hair up so nicely and so neat..hehe

Happy CNY 2009- Reunion Lunch

We had the reunion lunch at Sembawang around 3pm...This year we contributed 3 dish...but only 1 dish everyone like..that's the curry made from premix :( Jingdu pork rib, over cook so the meat is quite tough, though the sauce is nice..for this dish I research so long yet turn out failure..kek sim

Kaylen Today with Hair clip

4mth 2 wk, look so chubby..she's only6.8kg when do check up at 4 month..and drink only 3oz of milk 3 hourly..But she is already doing better than Jared who drank only 2oz all the way till 6-7mth

My new hair cut for the new year

I couldn't even remember when was the last time I cut short my hair, probaly more than 10 years ago..This is not very short, but short enough for daddy ...hehe..

When ppl get old..always hoping at least hair will help to keep me younger hehe...

Hope tomorrow after wash still look as good..

Jared's comment on 24Jan morning:

Mummy, 你的头发好像什麽？好像姐姐

J&K

Kaylen @ 4month 1wk-first hair cut

Getting ready for cny, got my mum to bring them to salon to cut their hair

Jared's new school uniform

Interesting conversation

Scenario 1

Mummy asked Jared to tear out 4 pills for mummy to eat

*while trying hard to take out the pills *

Jared: Are you sure you want to eat so many?

Me *shock, speechless*.


Scenario 2

Daddy trying to make Jared sleep..so he said these..

Jared, sleep earlier, tomorrow you still need to go and pull cable...

*cause Jared said he wanna be lao3 he2 wei2, don't want to go school, wanna work bluecollar job*

Jared 1st trip to genting -Recalled

Jared 1st trip to genting was during his 6mth old (May 2006)..We did it with bus...This round, Kaylen 3.5mth old we already managed to go Genting..not bad yeah!...Driving definitely much more comfortable than car..don't need to worry if the kids disturb anyone, and make stop as and when we like..

See the pic, Jared has grown so much since then.

Jared's Favourite ride @ Genting

Road trip to Genting: 20-22 Dec, Day 3

Again, after breakfast at hotel, we went to take the cable car.. By today, kaylen has used up all her extra clothes including long sleeve jacket, long pants..by poo overflow, 1 vomit...so she had to wear pyjama when we go out..hehe..

After cable car, we checked out and get ready for lunch at Mushroom farm...But daddy keyed in the mushroom restrautrant instead on his GPS so we ended arriving at pan4 shan1...Then daddy insisted drive up again all the way back to hotel, and start the search of mushroom farm again!!!...

Ok, the trip was kinda worth while..cos at least the food is not bad, though pricey ...

Their signature fish, we got the small one...yet cause RM40....then again, it taste good..

After lunch, Jared played at the front area...

We left mushroom farm at 2pm...arriving JB at 6pm..slight jam...but still we got back home at 7pm+ ...Not bad a trip...

Road trip to Genting 20-22 Dec: Day 2

We bought the Indoor and outdoor pass together, and started the day with buffet breakfast at hotel and after that chiong to the outdoor park. Not many ppl in the park when we arrived, since it was quite early..

We took soo many rides, since Jared don't mind queueing and wait for the rides

To take this pic, daddy stop the car, and behind all cars accident..hehe

We stayed at first world hotel, it's such a big hotel that check in also need to take queue no. and wait for 2hr.

Jared's fav car ride, took 3x ....don't mind queueing on his own...
During his 3rd ride, the staff arrange a gal to sit with him..Guess what? Jared got so angry and begin to hit her on her face and hand...!! He ask her.. You want to sit my car?..

After dinner, we transfer illegally the hand band to our parents to continue bring Jared for the rides...hehe...We took Kaylen back to hotel to rest..

It's really more tired bringing 2 kids along, so tired and busy that we didn't get to enter the casino at all. But we did manage to take quite a lot of rides..and Jared enjoyed the theme absolutely!

Swimming

It has been a while that we managed to go swimming...daddy not in town + bad weather+ jared sleep timing ...Finally we managed to go there for the weekend.Jared still scared of the water initially..after a while he started to have fun..But he's too tall for the baby pool, so he could easily walk ...and refuse to learn kicking...hee



jared looks real good in this swim suit isn't it? as if he was posting for me..Nah..he was trying to run away..



Resting with daddy..



All wet, picking up his ball

Happy 4th Month- 开斋了!

- The eating drumstick ritual..fed by my mum and pic taken by her as well.

She look like crying, but mum say she happy to lick it, and finally the chicken drumstick was eaten by Jared..hehe..

Whole mouth so oily...eeee

Daddy and Kaylen

Update on Kaylen
- Slept through the night since she turned 3mth old (Biggest and greatest achievement, gal!!!)
- Though I still dun get to sleep through the night, I still appreaciate her effort. I would set the alarm clock at 3am to wake up to pump, ONz mummy..hehee..
- Downgrade to 1 small tin of 400g Similac.
-In day time, consume up to 15oz of breastmilk when I'm at work. At night take about 2oz of formula daily.
-Can start to laugh, but doesn't sound good, like crying..sometimes frighten me..hehe..
-Take pacifier occasionally to help to sleep
-Need to wear 6 mth old clothes..(aiyo!..too fat)
-No one would say she small size lor...We have 3 baby born around the same time in the neighbourhood..Aug 24(JianMing's cousin), Sept6(Kaylen), Sept 8 (Shao qi's sister)...guess what? Kaylen is the biggest size baby of all at the moment..Wowow...
-Still drink about 3oz of milk, but around 4pm can drink up to 4oz now..
-I don't intend to start her on solid till 6month old, cos cannot imagine preparing puree/porridge for both kids..and feeding both kids..since Jared still not eating on his own yet.
