Mini milestone in Jared's 9th month

 17 Oct to 16 Nov

Likes to crawl into drum room and into bathrooms upstairs.

Likes to touch rubbish bin, especially the one next to my dresser upstairs. 

Also still likes to mess up the floor mats. 

Impossible to lie flat for diaper changing, no matter how many times we hit him. Have to give him the diaper cream tube as distraction but only temporary. 

This red t-shirt was given by Aunty Soo Lee (hand me down) and is Joshua's favourite. He particularly likes to see Jared in it, said looks like kampung kid. 

Can't remember why Joshua picked Jasper from school and went with him to mamak near their school for lunch. But such quality time is worth a selfie. 

Nasi lemak without sambal because boy still doesn't take spicy!

Morning dress up in all black for school performance. 

He was selected when teacher came to class to audition, because he could follow the steps, teacher picked him and also a bunch of others. Every morning at 7.10am, they are required to go to the hall for practice. He missed the first time because we were slightly late then he said he's been kicked out. We encouraged him to still attend. I asked class teacher and class teacher said ok. So he went and continued. He followed his friend to go and sometimes they meet at standard 6 class, sometimes at the hall, so they played guessing some times. And sometimes had to miss. All in all, super glad Jasper was able to be part of it although is a very small part in the childrens day performance. 

Jasmine didn't perform but everyone gets to wear their favourite clothes so she wore this scottish skort from Uniqlo (Ah Ma bought for her of course not me). 

A teacher dressed up as spiderman.

Jasper's class photo.

Jasmine. 

Then we came to pick them up and they showed us so many bags of candies.

Ate lunch and sent them to Acaredemy. 

Jared's first picnic!

Picnic at SS12 lake on public holiday with our ta pao breakfast from the SS15 market. 

We haven't done this in years. We used to do this quite randomly , that's why the purple blanket was at the back of the car boot. 

It rained a little so a bit wet, so I used water proof camping mat to put under the blanket.  Even packed along the camping stools.

The kids have the handheld fan. 

And I of course brought coffee ! 

Chewing the bar, need to start to put the covers. The bumper pad comes together with the baby cot when I bought them all second hand. At first I like it because it looks very neat but after using feel that it lacks thickness and height. And not even ties to ensure it stays in place. 

Bought a bunch of bubble wands for Jasper's birthday party. Prepaing for December while we are still months away. 

Guilty that we haven't set in place a nice reading routine with him!

Ok aunty reported that he has more teeth, total 4. I must take a look but he won't open his mouth to show us. So I had to do this. 

Asked Jasper help me to hold whileI take photo. 

Jared's tooth have some gaps, not as nice as Jasmine & Jasper's when they grow their new teeth.

Walking to gymnastics. We started proper lesson wef mid October. It's a challenge to ensure we don't be late. And I always ensure I walk them all the way up to the centre. 4 floors!

Jared's food - bayam porridge. I took this to show aunty that he can finish this whole bowl.

Started to wear shorts. This is from Wei Chee hand me down. 

Public holiday, we went to Setapak to check out our desired sofa for our living room. It's quite confirm we will get the L shape sofa but what holds us back from ordering was the readiness of our tv cabinet! Ah Yan won't be able to do it for us until after CNY. 

Joshua put Jared on this to entertain him while I was still looking around. 

End October, we finally went to OCBC bank to open an AUD savings account together, one step closer to transferring our monies back from HSBC Singapore. 

La juiceria lunch before sending the kids to gymnastics class! One of the very first times Jared sits next to Joel on high chair.

We went to Atria Mall for dinner and went to check out the shoe shop Lucca Vudor. Anne said she saw online the shoes very comfortable. End up both me and mummy bought but didn't have size for Anne. it's Rm199 per pair , the ones I picked out but they are really the most comfortable shoes!

And of course mummy took them to village grocers to buy anything they like again. 

Thank you ah ma. 

Hang out at Anne's condo. Jared little tiger first few times here without crying. 

So hard to put him down for nap!

Don't get conned, once he's taken out of car seat, his eyes would be wide open.

This kind of situation is super rare, I can count with my fingers.

Playground evening. 

Jared's first time on the swing. 

He didn't see to like it. 

This is at Aunty Soo lees house. He sleeps in his pyjamas, and then wake up at lunch time. Aunty say he sleeps a lot on Mondays. Means he didn't sleep much during weekend. Haha. 

Aunty's porridge always look so nice. 

Starting to want to enter the bathroom.

And he did !!

First time daddy put him into the laundry basket and bring up upstairs. 

Chen Wei's birthday party, where both kids were invited. 

Here for Super Sharkz replacement class. 

 

We started a packing list for Sabah!! We finally booked our tickets sometimes 11th or 12th November after Joshua started new job on 7th November and had gotten approval for the leaves. 

List was crumpled of course because of Jared lah. 

Every first Sunday of the month, our street here will be blocked for bazaar and people to do exercises on this clear road. 

We decided to join la. Jared in ergo caught lots of attention. 

Sports day at Lick Hung. 

Most of the time we spend waiting at the canteen. 

Bought food, ate and met some friends (from Acaredemy) and chit chat. 

Went in front to see the telematch game. Jasper was actually selected for the telematch but he REJECTED. He said no. Teacher selected another person. I tried to ask teacher to let him enter, she said no place already. Jasper's reason to reject? Because it sounds like it's going to be a lot of work. :( 

Caught Jared's lazy eye! Will need to send him to see doctor when he's more than 1 year old. 

Jasper went checking the place out with Hao Zhen until he sweat so much. We told them to show us their classes before we go home. 

Escaped during diaper change again. 

She dressed up for church, with red necklace that my mummy wore when she was in London, but I dont think mummy remembers it. 

Always here messing up the doll house. Until I decided to keep the entire doll house since Jasmine doesn't play with it much. 

Other than doll house, he also tries to climb up. We said cannot of course and so he is often stuck  in this posture. 

Jared's first movie! Black Panther 2. 

Joshua say  until the movie theathre got place for kids to run and play, but it's actually outside. The lighting yes is a lot less dim and more kids walking about, but that's it. Thankfully Jared latched on and slept most of the time. 

Sticking out his tongue, haha. 

Always come to play at daddy's table also.

Bed time reading.

First few times on the swing, continues to nap until we leave the swing.

Another purchase for Jasper's birthday, bubble machine. Test it out and they love it. 

Jasper made him laugh when stomping to the song "if you're happy and you know it". 

Set up Christmas tree!

The kids hang up most of the ornaments.

He got himself stuck to this trolley often. 

Trying so hard to correct Jasmine's hunch back! One of the strong reasons they now attend gymnastics... I pray that we will be able to get rid of hunch backkk.... 

Rainy day and we decided to eat lunch at Pheonix, so glad we have this fisherman hat to use. And the restaurant air con quite cold, so we kept it on.
