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

Half year

Our little precious baby boy turned 6 months today, already?? he is so gorgeous, we love his smile, laugh, and his personality, he truly brings so much happiness into our lives, people say that he's a really good mixed of mummy and daddy :-) we are so happy we have him.

Progress so far...

• he's been eating solid foods (pureed) and he loves it
• he can sit up on his own
• he can stand up holding onto furnitures
• he rolls over to where he wanna go (can only roll one way though ;-) like Derek Zoolander ha ha
• he can walk around the activity centre, so we think he might walk first before crawling, he cant stand being on his tummy for a long time
• he holds on to mummy's leg and wont let go until i pick him up
• no tooth has come through yet but it might be soon
• he suddenly takes dummy (that's pacifier for my american friends just incase you're wondering what it is :-)
• he thinks that his bumbo chair is a potty (he seem to poop there most of the time), i guess early potty training?
• he can do high fives, he loves it
• he's obsessed with phones
• he loves reading stories - he loves books in general
• he loves tickle time 
• he loves his kids TV programs

here's a few of his many pictures..

Our very own Masterchef challenge

My sisters inlaw and I had our first Masterchef challenge tonight, we all had fun, we had to judge each others food and gave comments (constructive), it was so much fun, i think it was Kier who picked the core ingredients that we have to work with for this week, we had pork, ginger and raspberry. Ranae came with the win tonight, she made two dishes because she wasnt sure which one is better, she made a baked cheesecake with raspberry sauce and a mouse (well done Renae!) Jade came second, and i think its either Hope or Kier on third and then Cody i think and i came last :(, i hope that i'll do better next time :-) so here are the end products, unfortunately Kiers dish wasn't on the table when i took these pictures she made a pork and ginger with pan fried asparagus, it looked amazing and delicious too, trust me these pictures doesn't do justice to the foods that were on that table tonight, they look so much better in reality.

An Overdue update

Reasons for my absence in blogger:

* First i broke my internet mobile key when i dropped my laptop and also found out a few days later that my laptop was also broken.

* We then have to get our PC upgraded so we can have a computer to use and that took a little while to get done
* PC has been upgraded and running a lot faster but since we've packed away our PC monitor, we have to plugged the PC via HDMI to our TV, so i now have a massive screen but i have to sit on the floor to go online and that definitely kills my back (i think it'll be better when i get myself a wireless keyboard) so that's what stopping me from going online or if i do go online it's mainly to check my email or get into FB for friends update, so very brief online visit indeed

* Also most of our recent pictures are in the laptop, we are yet to recover the data from it, so here's what i missed to blog since:

Its Official
Chad finished his university degree in November last year but he's certificate only arrived a couple of weeks ago, we're are so proud of him! well done daddy!

Master K had his first solid food - Yummy!

Mt. Cootha botanical garden walk with Mirriam, Heath and Kier, Hannah and Laila and the Kroks

K passed out after the walk

anyway my back is hurting now, so i would post more catch up blog later..until then
