happy pinky elf-ish baby

just watched the olympic basketball match between china and usa... the usa team, popularly known as the dream team, most probably named so due to the team roster assembled for 1992 olympics with stars-studded players (you can only dream of...). i meant, with big names like, michael jordon, magic johnson, larry bird, clyde drexler, david robinson, john stockton, karl malone, charles barkley, scottie pippen, etc... one can only dream it right? i would say, the team all basketball coaches would love to have... haha...

anyway, hope dream team 2008 do much better than dream team 2004... and i believe they can... 2 more 'watchable' matches for the dream team... vs greece on 14th and vs spain on 16th... but then, tv not showing, what's the point? :P

anyway, was watching the olympic games on tv pretty much the whole day with megan... joelle was chatting on the internet... it seems megan enjoying spending time with me wor...

then joelle decided to try the hair clip for megan... hmmm, the first shot made megan seems like having a high forehead wor... i prefer the second one, with fringe...

and soon, its time to visit megan's grandparents... and she is so... purple today...

i found this cutie elf-ish cap from megan's wardrobe and do some karen cheng shot with her... i used a t-shirt for my head-wrap and it looked kinda funny... no wonder megan laugh until like that... better use my cap instead...

and she is still laughing... think she is really happy... happy pinky elf-ish baby... :)

oh ya... today and tomolo not working... keke... baby-sitter went on vacation and so we got to take care of megan... good lah, time for us to relax and get away from work...

btw, we submitted some photos to www.mumcentre.com for the MumCentre Pic of the Week Contest... look out for more details as voting starts today, 11th Aug (2pm)... i think we took part in more than 1 category... anyway, more details coming up later... dun forget, 2pm wor... :P

rrRoaRrr

another lazy sat... not really for lotsa people who were getting ready for the ndp and the athletics sweating out on a sat like this... but, its really a relaxing lazy sat in the house of loks...

last nite, went straight to bed after posting and tot joelle is still watching tv on our sofa... it turned out, she dozed off with the tv on till 2am... kaoz...

and this morning, i woke up to find megan, sleeping with her toe... oh well... just in time to snap these shots before she woke up... 

and then... she woke up... like i said, she is such a morning person... and she's so happy and smiley... really brighten up our morning...

a shot with daddy...

and a shot with mummy...

there after, off she goes for her bath... and of course, what else after bath... her fav cartoon on tv again...

she can just quietly watch until dozing off... so i just said beside her, watching the olympics... the volleyball match between russia and italy is pretty exciting...

and as i watched on, i didn't realise megan is already woken up and is... wow, she can touch and hold her feet le wor... :P

we just spend the day as lazily as we could... i managed get these 2 great shots of megan... hmmm, it seems i can do this with lumix wor... keke

the little one, just eat sleep eat sleep the whole day... and looking sweet all the way, of course...

more feet touching, holding from megan... you know, elders said, if baby starts touching their feet, it symbolise 2nd one coming soon... what logic??

oh ya, happy birthday singapore! and happy birthday to my little brother... hear megan rrRoaRrr!!

and while watching the ndp... not that we really like to watch ndp, it is shown on every tv channel anyway... we ordered our dinner... :P

happy holidays to all!

we got guest tonight

last nite, joelle was so darn tired that she couldn't wake up for megan's 12am feed... so i LL got up and feed megan... my 4th consecutive nites... i'm begining to look like a panda liao...

anyway, this morning, both of us were super late and decided to take a cab to work... so no need to be so rush and we took some shot of megan... megan is such a morning person...

megan always 'hang' her feet up on her pram... aiyo, you are a princess leh, so 粗辱...

and today, joelle took half day off to fetch megan cuz baby sitter going for vacation... and i got to work late today... just a little late lah... and took cab home, cuz today we got guests, and i need to ta bao some food... and when i reached home, megan is so darn happy to see me... this is a very girly nicey pict of megan...

another one...

can't stop taking picts with megan...

 

finally, our guests were here... its teresa and hubby (xiangyun)...

and, our ta bao food... very nice curry fish head...

 

it seems xiangyun is ready for a baby wor...

teresa, dun wait le lah... see how nice you 2 look with a kid...

omg, 4 nites of nite shift... finished a bottle of kangaroo ridge with teresa and xiangyun... i'm getting tipsy and sleepy le... dun think i can tahan another nite shift le...

now, there goes my last bottle of red wine... time to look for another merlot to keep... i'm still keeping a look out for the black opal merlot... tasted it once with cw, who got it from duty-free shop during his india trip... and fallen in love with it... still can't find it in ntuc, and dun wanna travel to carrefore to get it... :P

 

oooh, national day le... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!!!

it ain't heavy

we realised that megan is learning how to self entertain nowadays... she can spend time 'talking' to herself, sometimes looking at her hands, occasionally watch me and joelle having dinner, then turn back to watch tv... but, nothing entertains her more, than us playing with her... now is the time that we should teach megan how to communicate (as per advised by babycenter). so, when she smiles, we should smile back... when she says 'ga ga', we should 'ga ga' back... :P

btw, i think megan already gain much strength with her hands and could lift the toy we got for her previously... she actually like this toy, look at her reaction when we show her the toy a few weeks ago...

but it was too heavy for her, so we kinda left it aside till recently we realise her hands are gaining strength especially when she pull joelle's hair and pinch my arms when we were carrying her... so we tested out with megan tonight...

 

not bad wor... can lift it up wor...

i think she is very attracted to the toy's colours...

actually... still a little clumsy with her hands thou...

 

joelle was actually 'busy' trying on the dresses she bought previously... i kinda like this black dress... so i got her to strike a pose for me... :)
