Twinkle twinkle little star ><

Jojo sings! His very first song he is able to sing in full, without missing any words (wow...) is "twinkle twinkle little stars" :)

I guess it has something to do with me sang the same song to him while I was carrying him. Coz mummy is not good in singing, and that is a simple song I can sing for you ;)

This is a special moment for Jojo, in mommy's opinion. I will try to capture a video on this so that he can listen back one day ..haha...

Photo snapping by Jojo

A series of photos taken by Jojo - trying to snap his favorite pal, baby Elley :)

Hide and Seek

Where are you, oh where are you.....

Haha, Jojo now can play hide and seek with mommy! how fun :)

Basically is mommy hiding, and Jojo trying to look for me. So far, I only play hide and seek with Jojo in a room, not extending outside room. If not, Jojo still get panic if cannot find me for too long. However, he is still not able to play "hide" as I guess he don't really understand the concept fully yet. Yet, he knows that he has to close his eye (with something, eg, pillow) while I go hiding somewhere. Well...sometimes Jojo peeks too ..haha.. and also "request" mommy to hide at specific location (like behind the curtain etc)....hmmm....

No matter what, mommy enjoys every moments with you, darling !

Making up bed

One morning, when mommy wanted to make up the bed, Jojo just refused to move away and laying still ....so mommy just don't care and cover you with the blanket.

After awhile, you still laying still so I decided to snap a photo of you, covering with blanket ( a rare sight) but yet adorable in the eye of mommy "P


.....mommy doesn't need to wait long though, you started to stick out your little feet and then that's the end of Jojo laying quitely. Next you come over to look at the camera and ask me to hand it over.

Favorite Songs

Jojo has some favorite songs he wanted me to sing every night to get him to sleep. Although I am not so a good singer, still need to satisfy his request ...to get him to sleep...

Sometimes he sings together with me... well, of coz it sounds sweet in mommy's ear :)

The lists are:-
1) Are you sleeping
2) Old Mcdonald has a farm (Jojo version : Donald and the farm :> )
3) Elephent ( modified version from Barney ...it goes like,
Elephent~~ Arrgghhh...(usually the argh sound done by Jojo)
has a long big trunk, when she speaks, it's like trumpet sound~~
Elephent~~ Arrgghhh...
has 2 bigs ears, all the sound in the jungle she can hear~~
Elephent~~ Arrgghhh...
4) Lullaby
5) Rock a-bye baby

I love swimming

Since I am at home for almost 2 weeks (on leave due to plant shut down) and I am so free and so thought of bringing Jojo swimming today. He just loves swimming so much....well, he got excited just hearing that we are going....

After packing all the gear, we (Jojo, me and ah ma) headed to the club for a afternoon swim. Jojo was so happy to see the water and I was trying to capture his pictures playing water and swimming. Unfortunately, once Jojo goes into the pool, mommy can't snap any more photos coz I need to accompany you ma....and Ah ma don't know how to operate mommy's camera...sign...

Strawberry lover

Strawberry is definitely on Jojo's top favorite fruits.

Usually when I am out shopping, most of the time I will look out for fresh good strawberry for him. This time round, Ah Kong bought back lot of BIG JUICY strawberry for his little grandson, when he came back from Hong Kong coz it was the strawberry season there.

Jojo was in such delight seeing the fruit.

I just can't resist snapping his photo enjoying himself so much.

My Garfield slipper

I saw this cute Garfield slipper and can't resist buying it for Jojo - also for him to wear inhouse especially after his evening bath to keep his little feets clean.

Initially I thought that Jojo may reject wearing it, but I was wrong. Jojo loves it and immediately wore them and walk around in the house. He even recognised that it was cat and he said 'cat' to me, together with the 'meow meow' sound...

Here's a cute post of Jojo in his new slippy.

A little helper in the kitchen

Jojo loves to play with the "traditional blender" and see he demostrated his skill...

First prize in Lucky draw

Today is an eventful day for Jojo.

Early in the morning, we went to Youth park for a walk and Jojo get to play in the park on the slide and swing etc..then we took a small break - with delicious ice cream :) hmm..yummy!!

After that we dropped by Park Royal hotel cafeteria for a yummy seafood buffet. The food was delicious, we had a good time there. They even had a clown distributing ballons for kids and all little kids got to participate in lucky draw for the day. So daddy helped submitted Jojo's. It was the first time Jojo entered a lucky draw and you were so lucky to get the 1st prize!!!! It was a toy'r'us rm30 voucher.

Wow, mummy really happy for Jojo, especially mummy never has any luck in such event :p

Furthermore we didnt plan this lunch but it just happenned for a reason - I guess it's was meant to be ojo's lucky day :D haha..

A gift - pocket book

This was a wonderful gift from "parenthood" magazine to Jojo for being selected in the happy baby photo corner.

It was a handy pocket size photo book sponsored by Pixart (http://www.pixart.com/)

First you just need to download a software and then you can start uploading photo into the program and choose the setting layout. Lastly just send to pixart as a PO and waola...about 5 days later, the photo book is in my hand.

I have choosen Jojo's photo from his birth till 11 months old coz those are the latest pictures I have at that time. I received the notification in August but only start working on it in Sept. Anyway, it serves as a handy album on Jojo's first year which I can easily carry everywhere since the size is so portable.

I think this is the better gift compare to the usual diapers given away. I just love it :)

Second hair cut

Mommy was surprised today when I was home to see your short short hair.

Apparently ah ma brought you out for a hair cut. It was a second visit to the salon for you since birth. Mommy didn't like the first proffesional hair cut you got the last time, so since then was quite relunctunt to bring you to salon. Instead I cut it myself.

Anyway, I think ah ma still find your hair too long and required a cut, especially you sweat so much the past 2 days coz you caught a cold.

Mommy still prefer your old hair style although it look "chang chang' in hokien :p. But you do look neat in the new one.

Bananas !

Jojo loves banana :-)

When Jojo was really really small, everytime we called out the word 'banana', he will stared at you (almost without fail). So I always joke that he would grow up thinking his name is 'banana' instead of Jojo...Hmm, till now I can't figure why he was so into 'banana'

By the time he started solid food already..banana is no doubt one of his favorite item :)

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY !

My baby is turning ONE today :-)

Anyway we celebate on his eve. The beautiful morning starts with me decorating the living hall for Jojo's 1st party with lots of ballons and also I was putting up "Happy Birthday Joshua" from my own creation of 3D wordings on the wall. So it looks like picture below ..ta~da~~



Then about 12noon, we proceeded to the Jenny cake house to pick up the most beautiful cake ever :-) I just love it at first glance. In fact it turns out better than my expectation! The kids love it, the guest too, so definitely worth every penny..




Food arrived at 4pm sharp. All together there were 8 dieshes inclusive of one fruits plate. Looks more than I expected too, and the fact is we have almost half left at the end of the event. Next time I know how to weight between amount of foods and number of guests, ha!

By the way, ah ma also make some 'red eggs' for Jojo to mark the occassion. And Jojo get to eat egg yolk on his 1st birthday :)

I also have some little 'party bags' for the kids, which I packed the night before. When the guest arrived, I took them out to distribute to the little girl, and Jojo was so BB (busybody)..he also join in the fun of throwing all the bags around :-)

Luck thing we have a little helper there to help him clean up the scene, and kept remembering Jojo not to throw...how cute !

Cake Cutting ceremony :-)

1st birthday cake for Jojo and first time holding a 'plastic knife' to cut the cake. See how he posted for his cake blowing :-) so bossy punya baby.

Open presents !
Definitely the most exciting moments for all kids!

Jojo received a beautiful car from Ah Ma.....isn't he looks stylish in it :-p

anyway he just know how to press the hon and buttons, and still required 'full time' supevision from adult to operate the car. After all, the car is meant for kid > 3 years old..

p/s: the car was the most popular item among kids during the party

Towards end of the day, we have a 'present tearing' for Jojo with little helpers around him. It sure looks fun being them :)

Down with Fever

Jojo was down with Virus fever for the 1st time, so I thought I would document the incident in blog as well.

(I din consider the last mild fever as official which was caused by injection)

It happens around 8pm when I was home on Wednesday. His body was so hot when I carried him, so quickly i checked his temperature. I was in shocked when the reading was 38.8C

Gosh! luckily I have the fever medication ready. We were trying to bring down his heat by placing a cool towel on his forehead. Not very practical, so later I went out to buy the cool gel sticker but oso kept on falling too..

Anyway, the fever went up again at midnite 3am, and an hour later he thrown out out all the water I fed him. At that point of time, I was so panic and wanted to send him immediately to hospital oledi. However by the time I changed his clothes and mine as well (which were all wet due to his throwing) and we saw that his fever subsided. Hence, I decided to bring him to the doctor in the early morning, so that he can rest better at home and continue monitoring his temperature.

Luckily the next morning, Jojo woke up with a smile. And doctor comforted me that Jojo was just having virus fever, and this is gonna be very common and to be expected a few times until he grows up till 2 or 3. At least no concerns on denque.

First Hair cut in salon

Okay, at last I brought Jojo to a salon for hair cut last sunday. Jojo has been under my 'trimming' for 10 months long and his hair is really growing long and yet 'standing' up like bushes, so I thought it's time to try a profesional hair cut. "suei suei" [mean the worst in hokien] oso should be better than me, i thought...

unfortunately I didn't think the outcome was what I expected. Now Jojo's hair looks less, some spots look bald and the top part was not even at all. Personally I think Jojo looks more cute before the cut.....[ so i hope Jojo hair grow back fast fast..ha! ]

However the experience should be recorded for Jojo- not just that it was his first hair cut in salon. Jojo has been a good boy during the process. He was almost like 'zero movement' and stayed 'still' in my arm for the whole process which lasted almost 10 min i think. Could he be too 'scared' to move? ??

anyway I was surprised and impressed that he can be tat 'patient', even the hair dresser said the same thing; I thought this was 'interesting' for a baby... :)

Good morning!

Jojo woke up this morning, standing inside his cot and calling out for us. First time!
It's such a wonderful sight to open my eye, and see his adorable face, calling out and smilling at us :)

As it's still early, ard 7am i guess (din look at the clock) so I hug him to our bed and tying to continue our sleep (aha ! i wish la..)

"Manja"ing

I took this video one day when Jojo woke up from his afternoon nap, and started crying and manja-ing for people to carry him up....it was taken early april, so Jojo was around 7 months + that time. well, he is still the same now, thou' not all the time....I think he was trying to test and makesure he is not alone, and also want to be cuddled. What a manja baby !!

Jojo pls don't blame mommy for sharing this shame shame moments hor....one day when you grown up and look back at this video, you'll find it adorable too..haha :D

First time on Ferry

On our way home from grandma's place (BW), we decided to take a ferry instead of the usual Penang bridge since mommy wanna drop by Island plaza. So here we were, taking a photo, as a memory of your first time on Ferry.
