Jump Jump(Video)!!

Hello everyone, I have recently found a new exercise station - the "Jolly Jumper". According to experts, and most importantly - according to Mummy - it is said that this exercise can help strengthen my leg muscles. This is pretty helpful in the near future - my "learning to walk" stage.

Of course, I always take safety precautions and strap up each time before using it.

You won't believe this, but almost immediately, I will be bursting with lots of energy and started to jump - almost non-stop. However, Mummy says that each day I am only allowed to use it for 15-20 mins at one go. Too much of it will tire me out, and make me cranky.... that aint good... especially for Mummy.... and oh, Daddy too. :P

You don't believe me? Just ask those people who had carried me, who will attest to my strong leg muscles. Thanks to my Jolly Jumper, I am definitely a stronger and tougher baby to handle.

Oh yes, thank you aunty Karyn to loaning us the Jolly Jumper!!!


*P.S believe it or not, my legs are solid muscle.. ;p heh heh heh

A Glimpse into the Future(Video)!!

Mummy's observation:

Jeremiah heard rumours (not sure from whom though, this is slightly worrying... *laughs*) that this "disco-like" magic ball could show him the future.

So he spun... he stared... and he waited.

After a while, Jeremiah gave up. Mummy thinks that any 7-month old baby should at least have 15mins of concentration. He tried for ONLY 14 seconds... tsk tsk tsk, if only Jeremiah had a little bit more patience.................

Attached is a video clip (yes, the 14 second one), on Jeremiah's 110 % effort with the Magic Ball. Efforts 80%. Patience 30%.

Ha ha ha.

Please take a closer look at us!

Hello everyone, This is my Uncle Ronny(舅舅) - Mummy's younger brother...

Question: Can you spot any similarity??

Answer: Our hairstyle
;p

Bad Toothache Day!!!

Hello everyone, can anyone guess what I am doing?

Hmmm, did you guess it correctly? I am trying to say "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....." cos Mummy wanted to take a picture of my 1st tooth. This is definitely the best and closest shot that Mummy can ever get. Trust me, we took plenty of shots... heh heh heh...

Can you see that "White Spot" there? Yes, there it is - my 1st tooth. After so many weeks of grumbling , nibbling, biting, its finally out.

Guess what!! The 2nd tooth is on its way just right beside it but I don't think you can spot that now... if you stare hard enought you might actually see it. And no, you are not hallucinating.... heh heh heh ;p

Today I'm going to talk about my 2 current favourite activities...

1) Grabbing, and

2) Crawling

Nowadays I find it much easier to grab things around me. I think thats what the adults call eye-hand co-ordination... I think my co-ordination has improved, well, just a little bit... in fact just this morning, Daddy was helping to change my diapers (which was very heavy btw) and 0.5 seconds later, one of his cuff links was in my hands. Thats quick, right? Daddy immediately prised open my hand and took that cuff link far far away... I stand corrected, but somehow I suspect he likes that cuff link :)

Next, lets talk about my ability to crawl. Alas, Daddy says that - strictly speaking - what I am doing cannot be accurately defined as "crawling". Rather, he says it resembles 'Lurching', cos I curl up my legs and POUNCE forward... nevertheless, he admits it gets me from point A to point B darn effectively.

You might be surprised, but this Crawling/Pouncing/Lurching motion gets me a displacement of 1.5 times my bodyspan!!! Impressive, eh? And its fast too! Above pictures were taken by Mummy as I lounged around her bed... yours truly can move from one end of the bed to the other within 2 POUNCES in approximately 10 plus seconds...

Yeah.

Me a "Parachutist??!!

Whoever said babies have no sense of adventure should check out this picture of me in my "Jolly Jumper" .

To those who are observant enough, yes, this more than resembles the (lower) half of a parachute which auntie Karyn lent me...

By the way, this is merely Stage ONE of my new found "bootcamp"

So far, my ideas for the other stages are as follows:

Stage TWO - bunjee jumping

Stage THREE - flying airborne from 1000 feet up in the air! (maybe in the far, far, far, far future... and ONLY if mummy allows)

Anyway, when auntie Karyn came by, she also brought Leann Jie Jie, below is a picture of us both playing happily together.

曾外祖母- 祝你八十二大寿年年有今日岁岁有今朝!!

曾外祖母, 我小天力和爸爸妈妈在此祝贺您, 福如东海, 寿比南山, 年年有今日岁岁有今朝。

希望您的身体每天都健健康康。

Happy Birthday, GrandPa!

Hello GrandPa, Happy 60th Birthday!

Hope you enjoyed your lunch today with me, me, me, me and me... and oh yah, Daddy, Mummy, Uncle Jon and Grandma... :)

The food was yummy... and fun. Fun? For me. Cos I was trying to figure out what Grandpa and Grandma were eating. There were also plenty of cars zooming bye downstairs. Pretty distracting for a 7 month kid like me..

Well, to 'reward' me for my good behaviour - Mummy brought me shopping at Robinson. My eyes zoomed in on this "Phonics Bus".

Sounds fun, right? Honestly, I don't wish to lie. But I'm more attracted to the colours. Hahaha.

Thereafter I fell asleep while Daddy was buying coffee and cake for Mummy at Gloria Jean's. Before I dozed off, I saw this huge line of 30 plus people queueing up... all of them with rather impatient and grumpy looks on their faces.

Mummy explained to me that they were waiting to buy Donuts.

Eh, I don't quite get it. If they're so unhappy queueing, why on earth are they buying these donuts in the first place? I gave my "quizzical" look to Daddy, and he remarked that it's something about "Singaporean-ism". According to Daddy, its almost as if one can show off after sweating buckets (in an air-conditioned Raffles City, mind you) buying Donuts.

Sounds rather silly. Maybe I'm a little young to understand the internal working of adults. But if adult Singaporeans like to queue for 40 minutes or more for donuts, somehow my gut instinct tells me I'm not going to like Donuts...

or any of the following (cos Daddy tells me there are long queues too)

a) Char Kuay Teow (the famous one in someone's "garden".... I didn't quite follow Daddy when he was explaining just now)

b) Certain Chicken Rice stalls

c) Bak Chor Mee (sometimes, where he works)

d) Beef Noodles (similar reason as above)

e) Bak Kua (during the months of Jan or Feb - but I have come to the conclusion that there MUST be SPECIAL discounts during these months. If not, why would people queue up for Hours for pieces of pork?

If I am wrong, then there must be some special ingredient in the pork. :)

* PS Mummy reminds Daddy to ALWAYS remember to bring wet tissue in my baby bag... don't ask me why... I dunno... I'm only 7 months old. :)

Ouch!! I am Teething!

Hello guys!

For the past few days I have been rather inconsolable. That got Mummy and Daddy very worried... until it dawned upon them that I have started Teething!

Mummy confirmed that, when she felt sharp edges on my lower gums when she was cleaning it on Sunday 30/09/07.

Thanks to my newly developing teeth, the water bottle that I am holding has become one of my current favourites. The funny thing is that instead of fulfilling its original invention i.e. quenching my thirst, now this bottle has also become my teething gear. The handles at the side are quite handy you know...

Alas, I know that the process of Teething does not end so quickly... this is only the beginning of my agony... ... ...

P.S whoever said Babies' days are full of fun and joy hasn't seen a teething baby!

;(

Springing "into" action!

Hi there,

Can you figure out what I am trying to do? Well, for those with the untrained eye (and this excludes all mothers), the books indicate that I am trying to crawl.

Trying - being the operative word...

I know what you're going to say, for a 6 1/2 month old babe, crawling is supposed to start at around 8 months. Okay okay, so I'm a little early...

1st picture - I am playing with my current favourite - this bright ball with motorised action that goes around and around with lots of musical effects. Super cool, for crawlers like me :)

2nd picture - I happened to hear the cartoon programme on Tellie!

3rd picture - I strike my most dashing 'pose' and smile for Mummy's camera.

Baby computer wiz?

Hello again, yes I'm online.

Eh, but come to think of it - when you're a 6 1/2 month old like me, you really have lots of time to explore the things at home, you know... with lots of toys and playthings.

Heh heh.

I am trying to figure out Daddy's and Mummy's fascination with my blog. Frankly, the sound of the keyboard is rather intriguing - thus I try to reach for it whenever I can. Looking is nice, trying is always better!

Okay, gtg (got to go - in msn speak), as you can see from the picture I'm updating my blog...

See you later!
