Pitter patter feet

Our baby is 10 months old. Little quick one is always fast on his feet. Standing up. Even toddling one or two steps! 

9 months old!

In a flash, our boy has turned 9 months old! He is an affectionate little cow, always like to lean on our chest... Very endearing. Look at his earnest eyes!  Looking like a good boy. But always want bao-bao when he wakes up from nap in school. Clingy onto his teachers like a magnet! 

We celebrated his birthday at a "casual dining" place, a coffee shop next to Alexandra Food Village. Coffee shop environment with restaurant prices. 

Early Christmas feasting for daddy...pork knuckle with local twist (achar)...Gloria likes the pork knuckle too! 

Mummy with her ramen burger with chicken teriyaki... Gloria likes the crispy ramen too! Turned out she is the busiest glutton tonight.

Refused to smile for the photo because she didn't like the lady who was helping us take photos! 

Loved to see them interact. I think that's why it is nice to have siblings!

Hitting his motor milestones...

Mr Jacob, as affectionately bestowed by his jiejie, Gloria, has been really active and exploratory. Cruising along the sofa... Walking with the walker.... Easy peasy...

Also able to explore his driving toy... Turning the steering wheel and pushing the lever.

And when confined to his play pen with his jiejie, he also has lots to do.

Of course, at times, he will be knocked out. Sleeping in with his jiejie, in his pseudo superman outfit.

Visiting Singapore farms

We has a staycation at Grandparents' place at Hillside while they are away in US. 

Lovely snooze on the two super single beds... It was also my first time sleeping in the room... The aircon overhead was a mighty too chilly but the aircon remote control was left outside. So we bore with the chilly wintry weather till dawn. Lovely snooze for the three kids. Apparently, the younger you are, the earlier you will wake up. V woke up at 10am, albeit rather reluctantly. G at 8am and J at 7am. 

Jacob chomping away on toys....while Jiejie and Daddy watch their cable tv

We went for breakfast at Mac at Bukit Batok. Packed with people! Started drizzling... So off we went for a car ride... Brought them to NTU for a car tour... Then next to Kranji Countryside. We headed to Hay Dairies Goat Farm for fresh goat milk and smell. I was the only one game enough for drinking fresh goat milk, taste almost the same as cow's milk and breast milk! $2.50 for a small bottle, 500ml? Certainly pricey! 

Kiddos have not warmed up yet!!

Gloria warmed up...

Followed by Jacob

Gloria's attempts at being a photographer! 

Gazing at the frogs...

Gloria loves to feed the frogs! 

Busy Sunday....

Sunday is a busy day for the little ones... I always try to let them do a lot of stuff, so that they will knock out early.... See how busy they are!

Jacob can stand up at the door and attempt to pull my card from the elastic spring. Gloria basking along the sofa arm and asking me to take a photo of her.

This is copycat Jiejie Gloria who is always trying to follow what Jacob is doing. 

Crawling into the forbidden zone - balcony. 

Gloria is getting ready to cycle... And Jacob looking on curiously...

Smiley Jacob! Looking at his Jiejie!

Happy smiles brighten your day!

Jacob's smiles are so lovely at 6 months old. Wait till he gets to 4 years old... Might be like Gloria then.  I want to enjoy his happy smiles for now.

Social milestone - having girlfriends

Older girlfriends - Natalie and Jojo!
