Random videos..

I am in Irvine this week for training... and I miss my kids..

Here are some random videos of the kids...

Dylan @ 8 months 1 week

Ahh, my Dylan is soo cute. At 8 months, he can mostly army crawl and some random normal crawls.

His two bottom teeth are finally coming out, but he has not been fussy.

Around 7.5 months, he decided that he does not want to drink milk in the day. He only wants to eat solid foods and drink milk at night... yes, this means he is not full and he drinks 7 oz milk at 8pm, 12.30am and 6am!

Yah, we don't like having to feed him at midnight, but he is seriously hungry and wakes up crying. Yes, no chance of Dylan sleeping through the night.*yucks*. He eats well with the solid foods. We tried him on a lot of food and he likes them all.

Our sleeping arrangements has changed again with the kids..... On weekdays, I sleep with Ryan and Gordon sleeps with Dylan.. On weekends, I sleep with Dylan. This way, I get enough sleep for work and on weekends, Gordon can take Ryan out to starbucks while we sleep in..:)

ahh, and we have removed the crib (my mom is going to roll her eyes on this one). We decided to give Dylan a full size bed as well but on the ground so he won't fall off. Check out the picture..:)

Last night, when I was sleeping with him, he woke up in the middle of the night and decided to play. So while I laid next to him, he was crawling all over me, and playing with my hair and face. After a while, he decided to go back to sleep. zzz

No words from Dylan yet.. occassionally we think he said mummy or koko, but nothing too prominent. He too likes going out and sitting in his car seat. And he doesn't have any schedule. I think he sleeps about 3 times a day. Usually every 3-4 hours... The reason he has no schedule.... is bcos we just need to do stuff and he just follows along.... he doesn't mind being awaken from his sleep. Just gives a smile if he is awaken.

Here is a video of him standing. He has strong legs and loves to stand for a long time. Also, a glimpse of our new bed arrangments..:)

Ryan @ 2 years 4.5 months

Ryan is growing quickly... soon he will be 2.5 years old!

Ryan new stage now is "Ryan do it". So everything is Ryan do it. He wants to wear his own shoes, take off his own shoes, wear his own pants, go pee on his own.. the list goes on.

He also loves to clean. He would take baby wipes and wipe everything and use his pretend vacuum cleaner to vacuum the carpet. He also does just like Gordon. Move things from one side of the room to the other side so he can clean every part of the carpet..:)

After his trip to asia, he has been asking to go to the airport, so he can take the airplane and go see popo. hah.

He has learned to answer "because". So if I ask "why Ryan cry" he would say "because Ryan want mummy".

If he is sees something and doesn't know what it is called, he would say "mummy, what's that?".
hehehhee.

oh, when he has in Asia, he had an addiction to milk. He did not want to eat the food, so every other hour, he said "I want my nai-nai".  He is better back home now... but he loves his milk.. (especially when he gets to use his bottle). We are not even trying to wean him off his bottle now since he has such love for it...

His favortite toy..don't think he has any. He loves to play with bags. Putting stuff into his backpack, putting stuff into paper bags and plastic bags and tells me his bags are too heavy. He also likes to pretend with his toy cell phone. He pretends to call auntie michelle and ye-ye.

ahh, of course his love to go out. He would do anything if he gets to go out. and he loves bubble baths.

He pouts when he has to go to the babysitters. He gives us that sad face and says "Ryan dont want to go". Somehow he likes it when Dylan goes along. And he does love his baby brother. Especially when he says "good morning my little baby"... and the randon "where is di-di" when he doesn't see Dylan in the same vicinity.

I have to say.... he is a pretty good 2 year old. He does whine a lot to Gordon, but does not do it with it (cos I always tell him to talk in his nice voice). He usually listens (this may change with his little brother attacking his toys). Ohh.. he is funny... if he is crying and I say "no more crying". Sometimes he would say "Ryan is not all done crying, Ryan want to cry". So I say "ok, go ahead and cry and let me know when you are all done". It's funny....:D

Here is a video of Ryan strumming the guitar.

It has started...

So... over the week, Dylan's crawling has improved...

Dylan is loving it, and Ryan is NOT.

This means that Dylan gets to Ryan's toy faster and Ryan does not like that.

So, Gordon and I have been saying "share-share" and "together, together".

Ryan figured that if he doesn't want Dylan to play with his toys, he would swap out the toy with Dylan's toy and that is considered "sharing".

mmmm....We heard a lot of "mine, mine" this whole weekend.

And to end the long weekend, I had Ryan and Dylan in the room together for a few minutes while I went to the bathroom and when I walked into the room, I found Ryan lying on Dylan. YIKES!!! Dylan was just coo-ing as usual.....

and Ryan got a major time-out.

Yes, it has started....the two boys above are being brothers..;)



Yes, there are good moments that we will always remember..

Happy late Mother's Day

 Happy mother's day.. yes.. very late.. :)


Mother's day was fun. We were back in singapore getting ready to leave to come back to USA.

It was decided that the guys would take care of the kids while my sis and I go shopping.

Our first stop with everyone was at a brunch place. Yummie panini sandwiches.

Dylan fell asleep on me while having brunch. so cute....
AFter brunch, we headed for shopping. did not buy much, but it was nice to get away from the kids and spend time with my sis.

Continued the afternoon with a pedicure paid by my mom.hehehe.

We ended our afternoon with a english tea menu. There were scones, sandwiches and cake. SO enjoyable.

The guys survived well without us. The kids don't whine when the mummies are not in..hahah.

Oh, post mother's day. we had this delicious cake. too bad we only had room in our tummies for a slice..:)
