We went out to do some errand today to a place closer to Brisbane. We didn't catch the train because the plan was a bit far from the station. Instead we drove. And I'm happy that we did because it was hassle free. It didn't take us an hour to get there amidst the morning peak traffic in some part of the road - especially at the end of the motorway. The Tatapilla had been very good. He was whingy

He's really fat. As if that just happens overnight. :) And he's blaming me for it. That I serve snacks in between meals especially in the afternoon. I do really and they were heavy meals but I am used to it. Well, he's not counting his big dinner and the lots of munchies that he has at night while wathing telly. They were all sweets and he eats them even until early morning. Plus, he doesn't

A fellow blogger commented when she learned that the Tatapilla was teething that, at least he didn't lost weight. Well because he practically eats anything. Plus he is still on mooo-cow diet. If you know what I mean. But lately, it got me worried a wee bit because he's fussy with his food. It might be because I introduced new flavours? Or was it because he was still full during meal time? He has

The Tatapilla might be young to display such behavior but I reckon he's already a "bolster". From what I read, kids who try to ran away from their guardian the moment they were let loose were called that. It's not because they want to scare the wits out of you. It's just their way of showing independence. Well, my boy exactly does that at times. During nappy change, he would crawl as fast

My Little Boy had just turned one. Time flies so quick that everything happened in a blurr, but of course I certainly can remember the day and the previous when I delivered him into this world. Now, Jens is really a toddler and a very handful one. Do you know that he throws tantrums when he wants something and I am exercising my will not to give in to him? Just like when he's eating. Whenever he

... for the Tatapilla. He is now a certified Big Guy. He was allowed to mess with his cake and party - that is sleep late. Instead of throwing a party for him, for some reasons we decided to visit the zoo yesterday and have a quite birthday celebration with his Nanny and Poppy. He may have missed having a party with friends but I wouldn't trade what we had yesterday and today for any great party

Did you know that here in down under, employees that wear company's uniform are given "laundry" allowance? It isn't much, but it helps. Really. I guess that's mainly the reason why businesses that do company logo shirts are big here. ***** Just want to share the Tatapilla's most recent photo with his new beanie - courtesy of his Nanna. Doesn't he look pretty with it? It reminds me of the series

I just said wireless router and Mcj said, we're supposed to get that for Bubby's room. Well, it will actually be for Mummy - so she can still surf even while baby sitting the little boy in the room. That's one thing that he wants but for me just another expense that we don't really need. I would love to have a connection in the room but with the little boy's cleverness, I could still not use

This is the Tatapilla's new trike. It's his 1st birthday gift from us - advanced that is. He has yet to grown his legs so he can use the pedal. Yet he's enjoyed this already. Well, Mummy has to push it around of course. I reckon, this is a best buy though we didn't bought it from www.buy.com (where you can get the best buy). Why? Because he can enjoy this for another year or two. Plus,

The Tatapilla is in the process of growing out of a habit that I don't really like. Picking up stuff on the floor/ground and putting it in his mouth (including pens like marketing pens). Today, I took him out the backyard while I was putting our washing on the line with his bike and trike. In all the time that we were out, he only munched on a leaf once. That's good sign for me considering that

We've been shopping for clothes recently and we (particularly I) found a good place to shop. We were supposed to go to the direct factory outlet to check if the prices of things are cheaper than in the local shops. Mcj instead brought me to the original DFO. And the prices were much lower - and they are branded clothes. Problem was it's too hard to find clothes that fit me perfectly - not that

The Tatapilla had his first ever illness. Cold. He'd been sneezing quite a lot last week and was fussy with his food (no need of diet pills). I thought it was in the food or he might just be teething again. But one thing notable was he love drinking water. He had a big sleep last Sunday afternoon. I gave him yogurt when he woke up. Then, he had a runny nose. I blamed the yoghurt. I thought the

Bath time is one of the most exciting and happy time of the day. But dressing up after the bath is the exact opposite. It is the whinging and crying time. The Tatapilla wouldn't come out of the bath, that's the problem. So dressing up is a battle. I have to invent all sorts of games or give him toys just to finish the task. Up til now, Jens is still using the watching tub not a walk in tub. It's

We went to the city for my appointment and it was very early. I think, Jens was the youngest passenger in the very early train in that day. He was very good though, stayed awake all the way to. It was a very busy day for us. Jens had been very good. I went to open my personal account during that day also. Funny, I was asked what will I do with my money. Spend of course. :) I think, I need a

Even if we didn't have a dip into the water, we still enjoyed the hike to the lookout. The view was magnificent and refreshing. We were not that far from the water but look, can you decipher if some of the swimmers were wearing sexy swimwear or not? There weren't much actually because maybe because it was winter but hey, they looked like having a good time then. Well, the water was surely soo

This is the little boy having fun at the park in Goldcoast. It was a chilly day but not cold enough to prevent us from going out. It is winter now but the latter part of Autumn was colder then. Obviously, we don't need the aircon (with air conditioning compressor) these days (unless inverted) to make our life pleasant. We haven't used our heater yet and we still love it outdoor.

go round and round... round and round. Inspired by that song, the Daddy wanted to buy the little boy with a toy car in the shop this evening. Problem was, because it was a supermarket, the number and variation of toys were limited. We only saw those that were apt for kids 3+ and I objected to buy them. The little boy doesn't need them yet. With the small parts that might choke him even if

My little boy is really becoming clever. Yeah, you heard it right. I'm a proud Mum. He liked watching commercials and those telly shows that has snappy jingles. Plus sports. He'd been taught the rules of cricket and now he knows the hand language of four and six. Soon, the "out". It wouldn't be long till he swing golf clubs, I reckon. Then, he can tell us where is/are his head, big fat belly,

These photos were shot while driving out of our street. My husband saw the stream first and pointed out to me. Well, after seeing it... we had a bit of a discussion how cold it must be up/out there hence freezing the stream. Oh, I just thought the white stream was a perfect contrast to a blue sky.

Jens giving out bickies :) This week's playgroup was at the park as the hall was booked ahead. It rained the previous day so the playground was wet. But that didn't stopped the kids from playing on the slide, swing, rocking animals and crawling on the sand. We couldn't stop them.

This one I have yet to capture in photos. But I can't wait so I am talking about it now. Jens has this trick when he wants something to get his message across. He would sort of like whinge while his eyes tight shut. Tonight, he wanted to eat some of our dessert (cakes) and he pulled that trick. The next thing he did was smile while doing the eyes trick. Then I told him to do the funny face

It might have been the noise that amuse him hence, he mimicked, but he was really quick to do the trick. He now cleans anything even when we don't tell him to.

The Tatapilla now loves playing in/with his tent. Sometimes he would stay inside, other times just peeked in to pick up some toys or most of the time just went in and out at another opening. :) Look at his toys! He plays with anything, plastic bottle and dish, a box of tissue, anything. He'll make fun out of it. Talking of contented and creative kid. :) I just mended this book and put it
