Announcement!

The Chua Family is flying to Perth tomorrow! Hee... Very excited and looking very very forward to our 1st Family trip together!

Surprise from my Darling Cayenne ;)

There was one afternoon I was patting Cayenne to nap, as usual, will play with her awhile. I "pushed" her away from the mattress and she got so happy and kept laughing. Kept wanting me to push her away then she would climb back to me and do the same again...

THEN... To my surprise, Cayenne said "Mummy push Cayenne go there". I wasa surprised then I burst out laughing! Very cute! Cayenne saw me laughed so happily, she also laughed and seemed to be very proud of herself that she made her Mummy laughed. ;)

Double Cs

Double Cs "playing" together. Err.. more of Cayden goes and disturb his sister while his sister will shout at him "Go there! Go there!" Haha...

Cayden turns 9 months old!

Causeway Point Shopping 11th April 2010, Sunday Morning





Brought Double Cs out 1st time without our helper. Initially worried won't be able to do so but lucky, manage to have our shopping trip plus lunch peacefully. So next time Dennis and I can bring our Double Cs ourselves. Don't have to rely too much on our helper. Hee...

Old MacDonalds has a cow... Moo moo here...

Cayenne hugging Cayden




Seems like Cayden is "suffering" under Cayenne's hands. Ask Cayenne to hug Cayden, she will happily goes and hugs but then... Cayden doesn't seems to enjoy? Haha...

Evidence!

Remember in my earlier blog on my Cayden that he is very active in his walker. Evidence below! Caught red handed in camera! Haha...
See his legs...

Evening Walk, Playground

I mean we are the ones who's taking the evening walk while Double Cs sits comfortably in their strollers. Haha...

What's so interesting to catch Cayden's attention? We were at the Community Centre, some kids are playing basketball. So he was watching them. Haha...


So difficult to get them to look at the same direction.

Cayenne was so happy to see the slide. When we were about to leave, she wasn't willing to leave. Kept saying "one more, one more".


Darling Cayenne's Update


Cayenne is getting more sensible, listen to instructions more.
One thing Dennis and I are proud of her is her willingness to share. We've been teaching her to share. There'r some times she's not willing to share, but we keep reminding her and she listens. We'r very proud of her.
But I do worry about her being "bullied" in school cos there was 2 incidents that made me and Jann "heartpain". 1st incident - we were at IMM on one Sunday evening, Jann brought her to sit kiddy ride. But there was one kid playing. So Jann told Cayenne that she must wait for the kid to finish playing, then would be her turn. Cayenne said "Wait", she even do the wait sign. Very cute. BUT then when the kid finished playing, another older boy just simply jumped queue. My Darling Cayenne (maybe she still don't know or understand) said "Wait" and she waited there patiently. Jann told me after that, I felt so heartpained!
2nd incident is just last Saturday. We went to airport again to meet up with Vicky. Dennis brought her to the mini playground while Vicky and I chatted. After a while, I went over to find my Darling Cayenne. She was sitting on the "see saw" and there was an older girl came over and wanted to sit. She simply came over and wanted to take Cayenne's seat. Cayenne immediately got up from the seat. I was so angry and upset at the same time. I told Cayenne to be careful, there are alot of older kids. I was talking abit loud and happened that the mummy of this older girl came over to find her and looked at me. I simply ignored her. I know I shouldn't do that, but I was really upset to see my Darling Cayenne got "bullied".
I brought Cayenne to other side to play and there was this young toddler walking behind Cayenne. I immediately told Cayenne to watch out for this young toddler. I told my Darling "Baby, you have to look after the baby behind you, ok".
I'm not implying that I teach my Darling correct or proper. I just do what I think it is right. I told Dennis after that, we have been teaching our girl to share, must wait for your turn etc... Well, Cayenne does but other kids might not. So I worry that my Darling might get "bullied" in school. Am I worrying too much? ;p
Anyway, we will still continue our teaching and instill the right attitudes to Cayenne.
BTW, have I mentioned that Cayenne loves to call herself baby? Haha... Asked her "Who's baby?" She will point herself and say baby. I point Cayden to her and ask her "Who's is he?" She will reply me "弟弟"!!!

Darling Cayden's Update



Darling Cayden is growing very well. He can call out "mama", "papa", "neg neg" (milk), "chek chek" (jie jie)
His milk intake so far been very very good. Am very happy to see him drinking so well. But then for porridge wise, not too good. Still eating about 3 formula scoops of rice cooked into porridge. And at certain times, he can simply vomit out the porridge. His chewing power not as good as his sister, I think. Lazy to chew. Only occasionally chew. Hmm... Think his speech will be slower. Heard that chewing and speech development are related...
Now my biggest "worry" is that Cayden might not be able to sit in the walker for long. Hey, he is only coming to 9 months old BUT he is so active now. Can't sit still in his walker. Will dash around the house, grab the TV cables, pull the table, chair, pram etc! He can simply rest on leg on the walker stand and let the other leg hanging in the air and slant his body downwards to grab anything that interests him! Can you imagine how dangerous it is?!
I told my helper not to let him out of her sight for too long. Just in case.
He also can't sit still in his walker while meal times. Will "talk", "boo" out the porridge, grab spoon, cup, bowl etc.. There must always be some toys to entertain this chubby son of mine if not, we won't be able to feed him peacefully and smoothly. But then, even with toys, he will also give us "trouble". Haha...
Jann said she is scared of carrying Cayden cos he will grab her hair, spectacles, pinch her etc... Think all of us got it from him!
If we let him sit on the floor, ABC mat, he won't sit still. For a while maybe. After that, he will start to wiggle his body away from us... Make us so busy just to keep him entertain. Haha...
Though I'm "complaining", I'm still happy to see my boy active. ;)

Supposed to go for...

Supposed to bring Double Cs for morning walk at Botanic Gardens but in the end, went shopping! Haha... All because I changed my mind. ;p We were having breakfast at Adam food centre. The weather was so warm that I seriously think I will "melt" under the hot sunny day. Haha... So told Dennis that we should go to air con places. So there we went to Centrepoint, Robinsons. ;p


Trying to run away when I called her to look @ my camera. Argh...
Cayden can't "run away". Have to sit still to let his Mummy take pictures. BUT I can foresee he will be another active Darling of mine to run here and there when he gets older.
