Eli's wobbly but soon to be steady walk ;p

Eli is getting better in walking...he is beginning to walk more than crawling now...by the time the daddy comes home he might be walking steadily :)

Handy Eli

I hope Eli will not smash his toy to pieces too soon ;p

1 Year Old Eli

Yay!! Eli turns 1 today...how time flies and my precious lil' guy is growing up so fast!

Happy 1st Birthday my cutie pie...Daddy, Mummy and KoKo Ethan love you very very much....hugs and kisses...

As of 8th March Eli weights 9.05kg and is 75.5cm in length...more about him in my next entries especially on his 1st Birthday Bash and his Baptism. Stay tune ;p

Oh BTW, you can have a sneak preview on Eli's birthday party at Glo's from Inspired By Gavin Such lovely pics she took! Oh..Glo specializes in taking children and children events using natural light photography...you can contact her if you wish to engage her fine services :)

Bootylicious Eli ;p

Eli likes to do this recenly...

 Here he goes..

Yay..he did it...

Not til after a few falls...

But he ain't a quitter..

See what I meant? ;p

He does get frustrated in between falls...

 But once he gets the hang of it...

...its easy  peasy to do ;p

Love bite

No, its not what you're thinking...rather am talking about special 'love bites' by my cutie pie Eli ;p

As of today, our precious baby Eli has 4 incisors (2 at the bottom and another 2 at the top). Looking at the "When to expect babies' teeth" guide I posted much earlier, I'm expecting at least another 4 more incisors before he turns 1 in March. I guess he must be trying to satisfy his biting instint because of late Eli has been sinking his baby teeth on me!! Just yesterday alone I received two love bites from Eli! ;p

The second love bite I received yesterday courtesy of baby Eli ;p

When it comes to brushing or cleaning his teeth/ mouth..forget the finger brush or a towel..this will do less damage to my fingers, thanks to Pigeon!! ;p

Our little treasure ;p

I'm back..and Eli is now 10 months old!

Hi everyone, my apology for keeping this space idle for a while..life has been pretty busy.. both at home and at work...thus the long silence....well, laziness is another factor too of coz ;p

Anyway, just a short update on my cutie pie Eli who just turned 10 months old yesterday...He is now 8.7kg and 74cm in length. He makes attempts to crawl and stand and is able to sit more firmly without support. Can be very vocal in his own way, be it when he is frustrated, excited, happy, demand for something etc. Unlike Ethan and much to my dismay, he doesn't take much water...but I hope to be able to train him in liking water again..I had succeeded during the Christmas and NY break but somehow he has returned to the old habit of disliking water again after the break..sigh..

Food wise he is still eating sieved food...have tried to feed him mashed food last weekend but he doesn't  seem to agree with the texture yet as he would throw up whenever I feed him mashed food...oh well, will have to try again this weekend...I don't remember Ethan refusing mashed food before...I guess Eli is more of a fussy eater? ;p

8 months Eli

Weight: 8.2 kg

Height: 72.5cm

Eli's 1st tooth is out!!

I just noticed his first tooth this morning ;p

Eli clapping hands & peek a boo-ing

7 months Eli!

Yes! My little cutie pie is now 7 months old since yesterday :)and yes he is on solid now...

roll over is not a problem anymore..

He loves his Koko

Eli is one happy baby boy...who wakes up with a smile on his face :)

and is able to wait patiently for his mommy, daddy and Koko to get ready before I will cuddle and change his diaper in the morning...

But he can be very fierce and can really shout when he is not being attend to after calling for a long time or when hungry pang attacks!!

He turns and tosses around and sometimes can turn 360 degree even in his tiny baby cot and this is how he will end up at times ;p
He loves looking at books and will get exctited whenever we show him colorful pages or when we tell him stories even if it is just boring black and white newspapers ;p

He can clap his hands now...
Another water baby as he loves his bath time and will certainly complaint whenever I bring him out of his bath tub ;p

Oh btw, I don't have his development stats now as his review at the clinic is only once in 2 months now :)


He loves outdoor...and is indeed a playful little baby

But most of all he is always generous with his absolutely gorgeous smile which make us adore him even more each day :)

Photos of the day

Hubby and the boys...

Me and the boys...

Eli & Noah

When SIL and her entourage i.e. Joshua, Moira & Noah came over a couple of weeks ago, I quickly took some photos of Eli and Noah…both of them were born on the same year with only about 3 months apart. Eli was born early March while Noah was born end of June. Ethan and Moira were born on the same year in 2007 too…about 3 months apart as well…Ethan was born in early June while Moira was born around middle of March...

The two tiger babies...

Noah seems ready for a boxing match ;p

The four cousins…the pigs and the tigers…they are supposed to be compatible with each other as pig is the secret friend of tiger in Chinese horoscope :)

Eli and his Dodu

The bigger kids having a blast…at that juncture, Moira was being outnumbered by the 3 boys and 2 baby boys (1:5) in the house ;p

Mansau ansau in KB

Hello folks! Sorry for the long silence...I've been having and still is having internet connection problem at home...so haven't got the chance to do any blogging...anyhow, it's my lunch hour now so taking this opportunity to do some overdue entries if time permits ;p

Anyway, we went for a day trip to Kota Belud (KB) on the first Saturday of this month just to get away...it wasn't planned...in fact the trip was only meant for hubby and Ethan but in the end I decided it would be fun for me and Eli to tag along with them too ;p So did the packing and off we went...pics below will tell u more stories :)

Above and below - the happy faces of my boys going for a long ride :)

Eli taking his late morning nap

Ethan monkeying around while Eli taking his nap...

...before he dozed of to lala land...

..and when both of them awake...Eli as usual like to play with his Koko especially the hair by pulling it ;p

...and when they are done playing or teasing each other...this is what Eli do whenever he wants to be carried and cuddled ;p

Upon reaching KB, we had our simple yet yummy and not forgetting very reasonably priced lunch at this coffee shop restaurant...

..and when we are done with our lunch I saw this sign board from the coffee shop...and guess what the banner says...

yup...its a bundle shop!..what did we do..of coz I asked hubby to go there!! ;p

and this is my best buy for only RM7...cool eh ;)

...just as I was paying the stuff, hubby's friend called and said he was almost there...so we followed his car from behind to his mom's house...this little girl is of coz his little angel :)

The men and their not so baby babies :)

Willis's house has a big and nice compound especially with the carpet grass..so Ethan being Ethan took the golden opportunity to not only roamed around but ran around chasing the pet dog too!! tsk tsk tsk...

Him having fun while hubby keeping an eye on him...

Playing with the pet dog...

here's Eli taking his late afternoon nap...

Ethan was supposed to take his late afternoon nap too but he was too excited to take his nap...still so fresh even after the running around and his milk...hmmmm...

in the end I gave up and let him go outside to play again...

With cute lil' Janelle...

As it was approaching evening...we made a move from Willis's home and proceeded to his in-law's home where his newly born twin boys and wifey are staying during the confinement period...

so meet the younger bro Jeremiah...

and the elder bro Joel ...both were sleeping soundly so we didn't stay long..also becoz it was getting darker...so we left for home...

pics above and below..showing happy and exhausted boys of ours on the way back :)

We definitely had a great time during the very brief trip..and so we didn't really mind going back there again for the twins' fullmoon party which we did two weeks after this trip! :) Will blog about that and our Raya break next...
