It's here!

After the initial shipment delay...

Johann's new bumper mat is finally here!

Yippee! (",)

The Elmo Song...

Mummy let Johann watch the Elmo song from youtube today...
Verdict...
Johann loves the Elmo song...

He can do it now...

Little Johann has been practising real hard...

During his practice 'sessions', he would push his face against the netting with hands above his head...
Trying to reach for the sides of the cot...
In his countless attempts, he would fall short of grabbing the sides and either slides down the netting or falls backwards onto the mattress (thank goodness for the mattress!)
I'm proud to say that now the little fella is able to pull himself up successfully...
He's so confident that he's able to do it oh so quickly! (",)

My little angel... Part 2

Mummy just loves to watch the little one sleep...
He looks so peaceful...

When he was 16 days old...

7 months and 3 days later...

My little angel...

Man U fan for A DAY...

Actually, Daddy is a Liverpudlian...

Even Johann was shocked that Daddy actually bought this for him... haha

Daddy soccer... Johann play...

Daddy had a soccer game in the evening.
Kind of a reunion for him and his old mates from the national team...
Look at the following pictures to have an idea of what Little Johann did while Daddy played soccer... (Of course we watched the game... for awhile that is... Little Johann's attention span is still rather short... hehe... furthermore, Daddy was playing keeper this time... Too far away for Johann to spot him...)

Playing with his ears...

Playing with Mc Queen...


Playing with his fan...

Playing with Mummy...

My little fella... Johann...

Morning at the Botanical Gardens

We spent the morning at the Botanical Gardens today. Was a good change from the normal shopping centre outing. We sure enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely go back and visit the swans and enjoy the fresh air (",)

Little Johann in the car,
all geared up for the gardens!

At the gardens, Daddy push Johann, Mummy snap photos...

Johann being grumpy...

Mummy had to agree that it was indeed HOT!

Some shots with Daddy dearest...

Johann's first encounter with grass...

"Hey! Mummy brought my ball along!"

"Now, why did Daddy push my ball away?"

"My ball is there... but there's this green stuff here..."
"Yucks! That was disgusting! The green stuff is strange..."

"But I must be brave, my ball is waiting for me..."

"Let me have a closer look. Hey! It's not too bad..."
"I'm coming, ball... There's sure a lot of the green stuff around..."

"Oh no. The ball has rolled away. Now, ball or mat?

"Out of my way. Back to the mat I go!'

"But... my ball..."

"Mummy will get my ball for me. On to the mat I go."


"Finally, on the mat and with my ball..."

"My playful Daddy..."

Off the mat and into his stroller... We're off!

Soon enough, the little one fell asleep...

Plucking out the alphabet...

Look what Mummy managed to catch the little one doing...

He was so engrossed that he didn't even realise that Mummy was watching...

Step 1: Choose the alphabet that you like.

Step 2: Pull it out using your hands.

Step 3: Hold it up high and give it a good check.

Step 4: Do the mandatory taste test!

And Mummy's favourite photo...

"Oops! She caught me!"

Mummy can't wait for Johann's new bumper mat to arrive!

Will have to retire the alphabet mat for the moment...

Chewing Melman!

Mummy brought Melman home from Mc Donald's after brekkie with the boys during the school's foundation flag day this morning. Johann took to it immediately. Putting it straight into his mouth. Where else? haha

Johann was so into chewing Melman. It kept him occupied for quite awhile. He was even more intrigued by it when he realised that Melman could talk! haha

This was when he started shaking the figurine up and down to hear its voice. Aptly, one of the sayings was "Ow ow ow!" haha

Poor Melman. Chewed and shaken... What else? We will have to wait and see what Little Johann has in store for you (",)

Off to Henderson Waves & Hort Park

We had been talking about bringing the little one to Hort Park for some time now. Finally, our plans materialised today (",) Bright and early we set off to Henderson Waves. Meeting some Uncles and Aunties and of course, Abang Denny and Andrea Mei Mei. It was a pity that Kakak Maya didn't join us. Maybe next time (",)

While Daddy and Uncles went jogging, Mummy and Aunties went walking with the little ones...

Here's grumpy little Johann, just out from the car and woken up from his nap...

Mummy was tired out after pushing Johann up the slope but finally we were on the Henderson Waves... Yippee!

Little Johann sure looked tired even though Mummy was the one doing all the work... haha

We stopped to take some photos...

This was what Johann was busy doing while Mummy was busy pushing...

Chewing on his pillow...

Some photos of Abang Denny in action...

Done with the Henderson Waves, we're off to the Hort Park...

Down the slope we go...

Little Johann fell fast asleep...

He was asleep the whole time we were walking to the Hort Park...

Just as we were about to reach Hort Park, we met Daddy and Uncles who just completed their jog...

As you can see from Abang Denny's smile, we were glad we finally reached the Hort Park (",)

Little Johann was still asleep when we reached there...

But the moment Mummy took a photo... He woke up. hehe

Time to take more photos...

Even though it was a hot morning, we sure did enjoy oursleves...

We'll definitely be going there again!
