Halloween

Halloween in Australia is not big like in the U.S and everywhere else, hence we're not big in dressing up (well maybe it's just me and Chad) our costumes are generally boring ha ha, kids don't really go trick or treat -ing or trunk or treat or whatever else they do in halloween normally, although lately it seems like halloween is getting more popular? (to some), like lately there was an event here is Brisbane called the zombie walk, where they close off the streets of Brisbane city for this event to happen..

(two of them are my friends - the girl on the left and the guy in the middle)

Anyway this year Chad wore a mask, Kellan is dressed up as a baby dracula and i pathetically attempted to paint my face as an avatar (i think we are getting a bit better lol).

Heath and Kiersten organized a halloween party this year and they did so good, they even had a little production a.k.a. Haunted house where everyone is invited to go through, it was so good i was scared to death, I screamed like a mad woman ha ha, well done Heath and Kier! so here are some of our halloween pictures.

our awesome dracula baby :-)

Kellan was like, what happened to your face mum??

after the party, paint is starting to flake off!

I'm a big boy now

Our little baby is no more :( kinda sad, he's growing so fast, he certainly looks more like a little boy now, I haven't weighed him for awhile now nor measured him so i've got no clue on how heavy or tall he is (i know, i know, very slack mummy indeed). He now have 4 teeth, 3 at the bottom and 1 up, he doesn't crawl fully but somehow gets around the lounge room, he can stand up against something but not quite on his own, he walks around holding onto furniture etc., he also loves it when i hold his hands to walk around, he's always on the go, he rarely sit on my lap still anymore, he often slides down, he's slowly getting more hair, he's also getting browner (yay!), he's finally saying mum and mumma especially when he wants something, he loves to swim (no surprise there, he loves his bath so i didn't think that water would be a problem). He loves being outdoor too which is good for me, keeps me active. He loves the library, he loves books and most of all he loves playing with other babies, he laughs and giggle alot whenever there are babies around him even when there's nothing funny going on (weird lol). We love our Kellan dearly, he'll always be a baby to me. Happy nine months old baby boy.

From Australia with Love

He can't wait for our holiday trip to the Philippines in December, he wants to get in the box and be sent over lol! 68 days and counting...

anger management issue?

This is what master K is like when he gets frustrated with something, yes, he growls...and as usual i couldn't find my camera when i need it, hence only caught the end part of it, this is one funny kid.

Meet the Boss

Master Kellan is really playing his title as the master, it's funny how babies can boss you around although they can't speak, anyway lately Kellan have been doing a pose whenever he's lying down, after his nappy change or after a feed, i think its cute..(proof below),  he also loves to pull faces as you can see from the pictures in the previous posts.

these two photos are the expressions i get when i don't give him what he wants straight away

Happy birthday Daddy

Chad had his birthday on the 3rd of this month, we didn't do much, Kellan and I got him a short and shirt, we also had a family get together/dinner at my sister inlaws place, we didn't party hard as it was on a sunday but it was still heaps of fun :-) I think daddy had a great time too.

fun time with mummy and daddy

Kellan with crazy eyes

Out and about

Kellan and I are so happy to have walking buddies, we love spending time with Jade and princess Pacey, they are so lovely, Kellan and Pacey love playing and laughing together, so cute, here are some cute photos we took of them while out and about. The indoor pictures are taken inside the David Jones parents room in the city and the outdoor pictures are taken at South Bank near the kiddies pool.

such a beautiful baby

 playing nice

Piggy back? or just checking out Kellan's head :-)

they love each other :-)

What happened in September??

September..September..hmm where do i start, perhaps start on a happy note, almost a month ago now, i got called and sustained as the First councillor of the Relief Society in the Brisbane ward, at first I was a bit overwhelmed, when a member of the Bishopric called me for an interview, i seriously thought of declining this calling, because i feel like i wont be able to fulfill it well as i have a little baby that demands most of my time, but i thought to myself, if the Lord wants me to serve in this area, i know that He will guide me and help me find the strength and courage to fulfill my calling both as a mother and a councillor, this is actually my 3rd calling in the RS (all within this year), i was a VT supervisor in the beginning of the year and then i was released and, got called to be the secretary and then now as the RS first councillor, I do love every single calling that has been extended to me and I enjoy serving my sisters in zion, and i am grateful for their confidence in me, I can only do my best and I know that the Lord will help me with the rest.

On the 15th of September, I got into an accident (this is the not so happy part :()I was on my way to the shops to do my grocery shopping, Chad is at home with Kellan (he's sleeping at the time) thank goodness, I didn't get hurt, not even a scratch, I am so lucky to be alive, i was so scared, all I can think of at the time is Kellan and Chad (never been into an accident before, this is my major crash) I totalled my car, it's written off :(, it's old but its still running alright, we already have a plan of getting a new one at the beginning of next year until our car dies but obviously i killed it before hand (The accident is not my fault, if you're all wondering) so Chad is now hunting for a car that would last us until we can afford to get  the new car that we want, it's been a bit stressful month for us but we're now slowly getting back to normal. I am very grateful for the help we got from the family, for lending us their car when we need it until we get our own, so until then.

So Lately...

I totally overlooked updating the blog, what a slack huh? anyway here are some of the updates on what we've been upto lately..


To the Best Husband and the Best daddy in the whole wide world(I didn't realized that this post has been sitting in my draft box for a little while, whooopss! better late than never right?)

Its Chad's official first Fathers Day today, we are so blessed to have him as the head of our family, Master K adores his daddy, he loves playing and spending time with him, he even cry now and then when his daddy leaves to go to work or go somewhere so cute :-) we didn't do much really, K got his daddy a book that he can read it to him

 and mummy got him an Xbox game and made a lovely dinner and spent time together as family. I'm grateful to all the Fathers in my life, for all the things they've done for me.
(I didn't realized that this post has been sitting in my draft for awhile, whoops)


Master K turns 8 months


Seriously! dear time, please slow down? Goodness me, our baby is getting so big and 8 months old already!


Here are a few pictures i took of him from the park on our way home from our daily walk, such a good boy and happy baby. He enjoyed playing the grass and whenever i called his name he looked at me and gave me a smile, what a trooper!

Seven Months old

Our baby is now seven months, he's getting so big and clever, more personalities, sometimes i look at him and i dont see a baby anymore, it's kinda sad that they grow so fast, anyway..

New Tricks/Progress so far..

• waving goodbye
• clap his feet, still yet to learn how to clap his hands
• giving fives and high fives (not really new but he does it often now)
• splashing in the bath
• holding bottle with just one hand
• closes and opens his hands
• shakes his head
• fully sits up on his own - i don't know if he'll ever crawl because he's more interested on walking
• he does running laps in his activity centre (video to come soon)
• he blows raspberries when his bored/tired/ or have had enough of his food

He's getting cuter, smarter and funnier by the day, we love this boy so much, we are very blessed to have him in our lives and in our home.

Here are some of his pictures

this is one a the few many faces that he makes

ha ha ha, is all i can say lol

meet Mr little Arab kid :-)

Baby waving goodbye

This video was taken almost 2 weeks ago, and it was taken right after he had a big tantrum, breastmilk doesn't satisfy him any longer so he always demands more milk, i was a little slow to make him some, so he was crying/screaming so hard, but as soon as as i gave him the milk, he was waving goodbye to me (like, he's way of saying okay i got what i want, now you can leave me alone, because i can feed myself)
oh life.... :-) so here's a bit of what it's like at home every now and then.

sleepy baby

I can't believe i am posting this, i really do feel horrible for doing so, but on the other hand i also think it's so cute and funny (you guys must think i'm a horrible mother ).
Anyway he just had his dinner and just finished cleaning him up, i turned around for like less than a minute or so to wash my hands before putting him to bed and i found him like this and can't help myself but to tape him :( he falls asleep a lot while we hold him but never in his bumbo chair before (excuse my voice and my snorting laugh lol).

Baby talk

My baby has been saying words the last couple of days, one day while i was folding laundry, he kept on saying dad-da, (it's the only word that's kinda clear, the rest are kind of jibberish :-) i wasn't able to find my camera so i just got my phone and started recording so the quality isn't the greatest, i only caught the end of it but it made his daddy really happy :-) I've been telling him to say Mum-ma first but he would giggle at me instead, cheeky little boy..anyway i'm sure he'll say it eventually.

Father and Son time

aren't they cute :-)

they love the hang out

pick me up please daddy!

these are just a few photos of them two, best buddies!

Family Photo

Our talented brother in law has kindly took these photos for us, this is the first professional family picture of us, we're so happy with the pictures, Ben did a wonderful job, K's so cute in every single photos, he took a lot more than seven pictures but i think these might be his favourites. It was hard to get K to smile at the camera, all we need to do his to call out the word "stinky" lol, for some reason, he laughs and giggle when he hears the word, funny kid. Anyway here they are again, most of you that are on facebook have seen these already, so i hope you enjoy browsing at them.

i love these boys
