Prawn noodle feast.

Long awaited home-cooked Prawn noodle. It has been almost 3 years since my bil cooked prawn noodles. He and Eve were very excited and busy the whole day. They went to Tiong Bahru market early in the morning to buy the ingredients and back to Serangoon market to collect the pork ribs, pig tails, liver, etc. The preparation work was very tedious too, that's why can only afford to cook once in a blue moon. heheheh....

MAIN COURSE

SIDE DISHES FROM THE GUESTS

Jayden and Sheila are 11 months old...

Time flies, another month to 1 year old. Now they are very busy exploring the whole house, including climbing up stairs everyday. Of course, they also injured themselves more often from all the fallings. They will continue repeating their exploration and climbing, every failure seemed to motivate them to try more and more…… and they also learnt from each failure too. Besides, they also started to fight for attention, fight for toys, fight for food, fight with Daryl, etc. hahaha....sometime Daryl also had to call for help.

Jayden: 8 teeth, 8.8 kg, 74.5 cm long

Sheila : 6 teeth, 9.0 kg, 75 cm long

Food for the kids.

Mummy was supposed to make sushi for Daryl over this long weekend. But seemed like every nite we are dining out, really no time to make any. Hmmm.... how about a cake for tea then? Since Daryl loves Oreo alot and I managed to find a recipe for non-bake Oreo Cheese cake, so I decided to make one for the family. Phew, the cake turned out to be nice and the kids loved it.

And Jayden and Sheila had their salmon macoroni, at least a change from their usual porridge. But mummy had left them in the slow cooker for too long (cos we went out for long breakfast), end up they look like porridge too, so soft. hehee...

Babies bathing time.....

Hehehehee.....RA show time. Look at how they enjoyed themselves. Most of the time, we will bathe them separately. Only when daddy and mummy are around, then we will try to put both of them together and they really love "water-play".

An enjoyable and tiring Good Friday

At last, a long weekend that we have been looking forward to. Hope we could hav a good rest, especially mummy. BUT........on Good Friday morning, mummy woke up at 6.30am to get ready for an outing organized by .... not sure who, but definitely not our family. We supposed to meet at Henderson wave at 7.30am, but we only reached there at 8.15am, sorry that we were late. Since is so rushed, we had forgotten to bring along our camera, shall wait for our photographer to send us our pix. We walked through the bridge with 1 baby in the stroller and 1 in my sling, what a good exercise for me. We headed to Chinatown hawker centre for our yummy breakfast. We had porridge, raw fish, you tiao with kopi, braised duck, yam cakes, chwee kuey and chee cheong fun. Sigh...all the calorie burnt in the morning walk were less than what we gaining from the breakfast.

Yummy kopi with you tiao.

After bf, we drove to sentosa, where the kids had some free time at One 15 degree Marina while the adults had a rest.

After playing, the kids complaining hungry again. So we went to Dome at Dempsey for our LUNCH. We were amazing rite?!?

Daryl prefer to sit with all the children than with adults. Sheila woke up just in time for lunch while Jayden taking his nap. Sorry, no lunch for you, Jayden.

Daryl's favourite activity

As mentioned in my previous blog, Daryl is now busy with his blocks toy and here are some of his creations after watching the DVD. Everyday he will play with it before he sleeps and he will get very upset when we ask him clean-up.

Dagger, teapot with 2 cups and luggage

Aeroplane

"CAR" with a driver.

Motorcycle and sword

New development.

Time flies and before I noticed, they are already 10 mths old and Daryl is going to be 4 years old in 4 mths time.

Sheila started crawling only when she was nine months old while Jayden started crawling 1 mth earlier than her. Now, both of them busy exploring every corner in the house. They have very short nap in the day because they are too busy crawling, standing and learning to walk. They started semi-solid since six months old and they enjoyed eating very much more than their milk. Even when they are full, they are still staring hard at our food and wanted us to feed them. Keeping my fingers crossed now, don't mind them to keep eating since they are smaller babies.

Jayden has his 1st two bottom teeth growing since six month old, followed by the top 2 front teeth. Now the 3rd bottom tooth also popping out. Whereas Sheila has her 2 bottom teeth growing up followed by the top front teeth only when she was nine months old. Jayden babble more than Sheila and he kept making the sound "papapapa....dadada...dea..dea..dea" Sheila prefers to SCREAM. Sheila is more aggressive than Jayden, she loves to snatch things away from Jayden. Sigh...totally don't behave like a gal.

As for our big gor gor, Daryl. He is now very crazy with his blocks toy. Playing with it day and nite almost everyday. Though is very messy after the play, but we are very impressed with his creativity now. We think it is really a good investment as it helps in cognitive development, language and mathematics, creativity, fine motor skills, plus most important, keep him occupied while we busy with Jayden and Sheila. hehehee..

He enjoyed playing with his siblings too but at times he may also bullied them. Sigh...he is just a 4 years old boy, what can we expect from him. But one thing for sure, he LOVES THEM.

Daryl has started his music class since Jan, so far he does enjoy the class but still insist we stay in the class with him, just can't be independent! He is also taking Speech and Drama and Arts enrichment classes in his childcare centre. Lately, he started to correct our english pronounciation as well, hahaha. Think we have to be more careful now, our dear son is watching us, better be a good role model for him. Ops, he also started to speak more mandarin too. He is in nursery 2 now and the childcare centre starts to train them to write (last year was more on artwork and play).
