First post in 2009.

How was your first day of 2009 everyone? Hahaha. I hope all's been GREAT so far, and here's wishing everyone a superb year ahead from Us, the Ten family. :)

We had a great time yesterday, starting witha morning walk along the corridor.. Sighs, have to think of more ways to make that lazy boy walk.Then we went for lunch at turf city with Jeff's friends, hokkaido Japanese restaurant, buffet style and the food is yummmmy! Worth going definitely for sure absolutely! Will be back for more! :) Of course, what's a post without pictures? Here's Reyes and Travis making contact. Reyes is really super fair and handsome! They are about 11months apart. :)
After lunch, we headed off to Javier's place, in case Javier's dad miss Jeff haha! Those 2 guys! :) Only one photo of the handsome javier. Travis is such a bad example! Topple things, throw toys, and Javier, who could already walk, followed Travis into crawling around!
A fruitful day. :) Looking fwd to zoo trip with Javier on Sat! Hope it doesn't rain and not too hot!!

In other news, I really need to cut Travis's hair! It's tooo long!

swimming again....

Again, yes. But this time it's at a public pool! It took us loads of courage before we decided: okay, let's try! So we pumped his float - which was a waste of effort cause he didn't want to get into the float! and we packed all his stuffs - including his bath stuffs - when we haven't figured how to bath him yet! hehe.

Nevertheless, we SET off! :) Went to the Jurong East swimming complex which was a huge place filled with fun and laughter from children. Not so much for Travis though. Think we need to expose him more cause he was actually afraid of the water! well, not exactly considered afraid - I'd like to think of it as - the water is tooo cold. heh!

He had 2 rounds with Jeff. First round, rest, daddy had his swim, second round, bath with daddy before daddy went for his final round. :) Here, you can see he's had enough. HAHAHA!
So he took his bath, and here's some more photos while we wait for Jeff to finish his last swim round and his bath.

Standing Tall !

Travis managed to stand very much longer than he usually could yesterday! Well, that was when he kept bugging me to play his thomas bubble machine for him and hahha, I was glad I did. :)Can you tell how happy he was? Just waiting for bubbles to appear and flapping his arms in the air. haha! :) I hope he'll walk soon! He's already going to be 14months this saturday!!!

Travis in 2008

The Year is ending. :) Wonder how he has changed? Hehe, take a look for yourself.

Thank you Stephanie for giving me this idea!Very small eh, but no worries, can see bigger if you click on the photo!!

So tired. He only slept from 11 to 1pm today. I almost died liao!

One more post... for today..

Before the photos become outdated. muahahhaa. Brought him to the new Jurong Point for Lunch yesterday! We decided on Bakerzinn after a walking past Newyorknewyork, swensens, fig and olive, ding tai feng. hehe. What did the Monster have for lunch? Milk - GAH. Ordered a sandwich and pumpkin soup for him but he was just impossible to Feed cause he was too busy playing with his bowl, spoon and a piece of bread *bread was free-flow*. So we just let him have his way while I quickly gobble up my foooood and then give him his milk! :)

After that, we went to the new NTUC Xtra annd look!!! FABULOUS find! I'm so going to go there for more after this.. too bad the cars are so limited. Travis's eyes lit up once he saw the cars and kept pointing at them. Good thing he got a go at it!

See and you will know.
He's so busy turning the wheels, left right, waving at ppl who looked at him.

Haha, okies Bye for now! till Next post! :)
Oh yes, Did you realise his front part of the hair got shorter? :( We wanted to bring him for a haircut but he CRIED buckets and that was all the hairdresser managed to snip off before she and Us decided:: Enough! So malu. Everyone was looking at us. Aiyo.

Dinner with Javier...

Well, it was kind of a xmas exchange dinner. 12 days of xmas, so xmas exchange still stands! :) The budget we set for Javier's and Travis's gift was 30bucks. hehe... we bought a wooden toy for Javier and guess what Travis got in return? HEHE starts with a B... well, must be pretty obvious.

Here are some photos taken at the restaurant before the unwrapping present photos..

This is Javier. SO handsome that day. Too bad, i didn't manage to get any shot of him in the vest he was wearing! :)
HEre's Travis, wondering what Javier is doing! :) HE took off his shoes twice that night. Must have been too big a pair...2 family shots... :)Dinner was at shokudo restaurant, in citylink. Food wise, not so bad, ambience, okay, baby-friendly NAH! Still we managed to finish off our foooood, despite the 2 boys making loads of noise. ehehe.

Okies, when we got home, was kind of late already and Travis just Zonked off, so we left the unwrapping of the B present till the next day morning!
Hohoho.. who is inside that big wrapper....BARNEY! :) Thank you for the Present Auntie Joey, Uncle Ben and Friend Javier. - From Travis.

His First Night Out of home sweet home...

Okay not considered first night out haha, if you consider the hospital stay! muahhaha. We went for a one night hotel stay at Pan Pacific Orchard for xmas eve - xmas day. It was extremely fun! for HIM of course! not for us... considering the amount of barang we had to bring just for ONE night. haha.

But it was so worth it, the nightout really made us realise that We CAN bring him abroad. He loves pressing the buttons, switching on and off the lights, tv, opening the cupboard doors, and yes STILL NOT WALKING! my wish of him walking by xmas - BUSTED> well well. Still hoping for New Year ! SUrprise US TRAVIS!

It was raining all day long on xmas eve. And we checked in really late, 3pm, when we could have checked in at 2. JEFF's work again. And after his milk at 4pm, we went Forum, walk a bit then went to Chongqing hotpot for steamboat buffet. AFter dinner, he zonked off for a 30min nap at 730pm, for he was AWAKE since 1230pm! We went wheellock, then isetan, where he got up at 8pm and we headed back to the hotel for little nyonya. Grrr. Around 9pm, he drank his milk, did his stunts, press button, remote controls, climb here and there, flip here and there, before finally deciding to zzz at 10pm! WOO! it is really extremely nice that he could fall asleep on his own even not on OUR bed.

BEfore we continue, and bore you, MERRY XMAS from Travis and us! hehe See he's in the festive mood too ahaha!

Not much picts taken for first day cause we were out most of the time and RAINING! Sian.

The Second day:: Breakfast for Travis

Plain porridge + Scrambled Egg - THIS IS EXTREMELY yummy.
Followed by Yogurt.....
So when i couldn't get him to smile at the camera, the thing to do, is to snatch away the thing - YOGURT..


Look How yummy the yogurt is!Finally, SOME WATER. his bad habit is, to bite on the straw when he doesn't want to drink anymore.. so we always try to snatch the cup away..Headed back to the room for a bath then his nap then time to check out liao. Time flies. Here's the picts after BATH TIME!


Finally, time to go, so CHECK EVERYTHING!
Okies, super long post! enjoy and till next time! Soooon!
