Something about Lucas & Giselle

These are just a few of the things that we observed about Lucas and Giselle.

One time, at Granny's house, while Daddy was cutting fruits in the kitchen, Lucas was having a tug-of-war with Aunty Evelyn in the living room. He was trying to wrestle Giselle's bouncer from Aunty Evelyn's hands. In a bid to talk Lucas out of the wrestling match, Aunty Evelyn mentioned that Daddy is coming out soon.

At that very moment Daddy stepped into the living room. From the corner of his eyes, Lucas could see that "TROUBLE" was coming. The next thing that he did simply shocked both Daddy and Aunty Evelyn. In that split second that he saw Daddy coming, Lucas immediately dropped the bouncer and picked up a nearby story book, proclaiming " Book! Book!" - meaning that he wants to read the book. And when Daddy picked him up asking what had happened just now, he cried immediately.

We gathered that Lucas probably felt guilty that he did something wrong, hence the crying. We found it unbelievable that a child so small, could display such awareness of his surroundings and quick reflexes in a bid to divert attention and avoid potential trouble.

Another time, Mummy was trying to pacify a crying Giselle with a bottle of milk. As Giselle was creating a racket with her cries, Mummy put the bottle on the table to free her hands. Sensing that his baby sister is not comfortable and probably hungry, Lucas reached out, picked up the bottle and passed it to Mummy, willing her to feed Giselle with it. Mummy and Daddy were both impressed at the actions of Lucas as he exemplified awareness and sensitivity.

As for Giselle, it seems that she takes after her mummy for being a light sleeper. We noticed that she would wake up easily whenever we shift her from her cot. She is definitely growing at an exponential rate, having outgrown most of her clothings now. We are going to put the two into a child care centre soon. We hope they can get used to the place soon enough. After all, both Mummy and Daddy had to work, and both our parents are unable to take care of the kids. Let's hope for the best

Going to the zoo

Huiling and Doris decided that we should meet up and go to the zoo before Huiling delivers... so here goes... Watch out for the video where Daddy Stuart crashes into Lucas.

Feeling guilty

Dunno why Daddy feels this way, but it seems we were pretty lop-sided in providing updates in this blog. So here's some updates on our little princess Giselle :

a. Giselle is now taken care of by Daddy's Aunt.
b. She keeps wanting to sit up up... very strong tummy muscles indeed
c. She is starting to make lots of noise... just like Lucas
d. She craves constant attention and companion. She will launch her crying weapon
when she doesn't see anyone

Sunday at Vivo

Today was a very hot day. So Daddy, Mummy along with Da Sao (Rachel) & Gu Gu (Evelyn) brought Lucas and Giselle to Vivo City. We bought a pair of sandals coz his current pair broke.

Next was the water play which Lucas loves best. He ran all over the place trying to catch the streams of water.

After that we went for a tea break. Lucas kept wanting to eat the cheesecake we bought so much so that he was prepared to say Xie Xie and PLEASE several times.

Lucas goes to the beach

We have been wanting to bring Lucas to the beach, but it never happened. So when we finally brought him there, we were as happy as Lucas.

First stop Burger King - We had some nice breakfast over there. A kind little girl gave Lucas her balloon because our little fella kept staring at her balloon.

Second stop Bicycle Ride - Lucas was exhilarated because it was his virgin ride. He kept exclaiming along the way. On the ride back, Daddy notice that Lucas was strangely quiet. It turned out that he had dozed off while sitting on the bicycle. Afraid that he might doze off and knock his front teeth off, we hurried back to the bicycle kiosk.

third stop Playing sand - What can I say? It was fun fun fun though the beach could be cleaner!

Lucas can dunk

You see, we have this little hoop that we hung in Grandma's living rm. Initially we just wanted lucas to throw the ball into the hoop. Little did we know that Lucas has Air Jordon's DNA in him. Check this out!!!

Celebrating daddy's birthday together

Today is daddy's birthday and we celebrated it back at Stuart's mum's house. We've got little Lucas to preseisnt the birthday cake to Daddy and lucas ended up leaving finger prints all over the cake before we even lit the candles. Daddy's wish is for our family to be happy and healthy forever. I also wish for Little Lucas and Giselle to be grow up steadily and be the happiest babies in the WORLD. Here's to Health & Wealth !!

Cherie Hearts

Yes our darling boy is going school soon it will be on the 1st Dec
Had make one month payment plus deposit mattress and uniform all amount to $1355
just to secure a place in the centre.
Actually wanna put him in jan 2010 but teacher advised to come in early if possible as according to her there will be a batch of children coming in Jan next year so teacher may not have one to one attention

We really hope that Lucas will be happy there and can apdat to the new enviroment soon.

No more Du Du ( pacifier )

Over the september holidays, we put Lucas in Granny's care for the whole week because both of us had to attend some course. That was when Granny started to wean Lucas off his pacifier.

We always thought it would be quite difficult for Lucas to forget his Du Du. Contrary to that, he took to the process quite well. However we noticed that he started asking for milk more often. Only by drinking milk would he have gained access to a rubber teat. Smart Aleck this boy !!!

The boy and girl who always amaze us

Our children had been amazing us at regular rate of late... Here are some examples of Lucas' achievements :

He is able to pronounce "Good" very well

He is able to make the animal noises when we show him an animal book

He is able to clap his hand and stamp his leg when we sing the song "If you're happy & you know it clap your hand!"

He is able to cover his eyes and flap his hand when we ask him to

He is beginning to like books and will often go to the shelves to pull out the books on his own. Mummy & Daddy are really happy because we had been constantly reading to him during bedtime.

He is able to listen to simple instructions such as "Sit Down", "Give Give" and "Put it down"

He knows when Daddy is going to work and will carry Daddy's heavy boots for him to wear.

He knows of Giselle's existence and often calls out for 妹妹 when he comes home. He also tries to sayang his 妹妹 but obviously doesn't know how to control his strength yet.

He knows when the Barney DVD show is ending soon and will tell you " No More!"

As for Giselle, she seems pretty content to be wrapped up in a bundle. Here are some findings:

We notice that she really likes company and super-hates to be alone.

She has very strong legs and would sometimes attempt to kick and stand up when we burp her after feeding.

She will look at you with her big brown eyes when you pass her by

She tried to flip over one day when Daddy & Mummy left her on the platform unattended.

She doesn't wake up for milk in the middle of the night, unlike her 哥哥

All said, Mummmy & Daddy are already very content that we were bestowed two lovely & healthy kids. We wish for good health for our kids, ourselves, our friends and family.

Guess who is this??

Hey everyone, can u guess who is that on the right?



Did u guess correctly? Yes its Lucas' Daddy Stuart. We were flipping the photos of yesteryear when we chanced upon this... gosh... we really look alike...except Lucas is more handsome la...

Terminal 3

We brought Lucas to fetch his Tua Peh from airport last sunday. He was running around like the whole place belong to him.



They happen to have this photo taking session with the care bears at the departure hall and we were luckly as Lucas was given a free pass by the organizer . Mummy and Gugu are more excited than Lucas haha. During the wait for our turn to take photos with Care Bears, Lucas did something pretty hilarious - he spotted a bum in front of him, and he just can't stop touching it. Even the mum of the little boy whose bum was molested can't resist taking down this video
