Khye's 4 months Traditional Ritual Celebration

About half a month ago, Khye celebrated his 4 months traditional ritual celebration, just like Shern did when he was 4 months old.

A few days before, during his monthly ped visit, he weighed a hefty 8.0kg @ 4 months old. Fuyoh.
This is happy baby Khye during bath time in the morning.

14 January 2013

Changed him into a yellow onesie.

This 4 months old ritual celebration is supposedly said to bless him with good health, good teeth, etc.
We don't really follow everything to the dot. It is just a reason for a family gathering and have fun, enjoying family time.

4 of us

Just like Shern's time, a few Marie biscuits were stringed and hung on his chest.
Khye as usual, had his fingers inside his mouth.

And then we presented him a food/fruit, one at a time.

Popo giving Khye a blanched prawn. Look at Khye eyeing it....

Shern was also enjoying the fun. He ate for the first time the mini biscuits with the colourful sugar toppings. He loves it. Of course, because they are so sweet. 

And Shern also had fun posing with the different fruits. He still hates eating fruits, and doesn't touch any of it. But that doesn't stop him from posing for the camera with the fruits. Haha.

Here's a photo of the 2 babysitters (Pho-pho and Yee-pho) while I'm not at home.

A photo with Min-yee.

Another photo of the 4 of us.

And lastly, a family of everyone (excluding Min the camerawoman). :)

Happy 4 Months Old Khye (although you are 4 1/2mo now).
We love you. :D

Conversation with Shern @ 3 years 7 months

Extracted from facebook.com

Shern is exactly 3 years, 7 months, 3 weeks and 1 day old today.
He is about 5 months short of 4 years old, and already he asks us a few hundred questions a day.
His favourite word these days is 'WHY, WHY & WHY'.

Almost every conversation with him ends with a few 'Why?' from him.

Mummy: Shern, you need to pull up your pants.
Shern: Why?

Mummy: Shern, pls sit properly.
Shern: Why?

And quite often Shern asks us to ask him questions, even when he is in the toilet, like this:

Shern: Mummy, pls ask me if you wanna go poo poo or not?
Mummy: Shern, do u wanna poo poo?
Shern: says Yes!

Another time while Shern was sitting on the toilet bowl doing his big business.
Shern: Popo, pls ask me if I finish poo-poo or not?'
Popo: Shern, have u finish poo-poo? (thinking that he shd finish coz asking us to ask him dee).
Shern: No...
LOL.

And then last week Shern was sitting in his carseat and he wanted to get off his car seat. So I told him the policeman is going to catch anybody who did not fasten on the seat belts.
And since then Shern asks me like a hundred times,
'Mummy, what did the policeman say?'

We don't know whether to laugh or get annoyed every time he asks us the same questions, again and again. But I guess I must say I am thankful that Shern is so annoyingly asking us so many questions, as he is just being a growing boy with an inquisitive mind.

And he is still not four yet. :)

A Stroll Down At Our Apartment Garden

After a bout of the cough and flu, both Shern & Khye are now well and healthy again. (although Shern lost the precious 1kg which took him a year to gain, sigh)

So yesterday afternoon, hubby & I took them just down our apartment garden. By the way, our apartment has a really beautiful garden.

Hubby carried Khye and sat there watching me and Shern walked all around.

11 January 2013

Someone else left a ball there so Shern asked to play with it for awhile. With just a ball in hand, Shern was so happy.

 It was quite dangerous playing a ball near the pool, so I asked Shern to play it in the garden area.

 

Shern was quite cooperative that day and even posed a few poses for me.
These are a few poses he did when I said 'Cheese'. Some of them I just snapped while he was having fun with the ball.

 

His ball fell onto a bush and he was quite tickled by it. This reminds me how simple little boys can be. Little things make them so happy. 

Like these 2 photos below of Shern taken at a different angle.
One if of Shern squatting down, and the other him looking up the sky above.

There was a small hill of greens just behind the mini waterfall and Shern climbed up there. Boys are boys, they love a little adventure.
On top of the hill, he at first sat down...

Then getting a little braver, he stood up.
And then he even raised his hands up high.

Saw a tree with broad roots everywhere and I told Shern to stand there for me to snap a photo.
Love how he hugged the ball close to him while he posed. I didn't ask him to do that. Kids are such a natural when it comes to posing.

Then we walked and walked...

And walked and walked.

So where was hubby & Khye while Shern & I toured the garden?
They were sitting comfortably in the little rotunda near the Koi Pond.

Then hubby & Khye came to join us for awhile. 

This is one of the photos which I took to blog about My 3 Boyfriends. :)
Still loving these photos.

Then we walked to the rotunda and Shern said he is a little bit itchy here and there.
That day the weather was very hot and humid. And after just half an hour walking down at the garden, we were all feeling sweaty and itchy.

So we decided to walk back to the swimming pool area to have a little swim. Shern & I got a dip, while hubby stayed dry with Khye.

The water was cool and a little bit cold (usually around this time of the year, the pool barely got any sunlight, and thus cooler water), but since the weather was so hot and humid, it was really nice.

It had been a while since Shern went down to the pool, so he was very happy, especially when he saw his friends there.

This is Shern doing another 'stunt' in the pool! Ahh...boys indeed!

Hubby and Khye were seating at the bench near the pool, and after awhile, Khye fell asleep. Haha.

It was a very nice evening we had strolling down at our apartment garden, which we ended up in the swimming pool! :)
