Classic Shot

Credit goes to my cute cousin Sze Hui for taking this classic! This is going into the family album for sure. ;D

So here's Jeddy-the-cheeky pinching his Gong Gong where he shouldn't. Check out my dad's grimace.

And my mum's glee.
























Wuahahahahaha!

......

(On a side note, many have said that I look creepily like my mum. What say you? ;D)

Jeddy Mug Shots

I'm sick....

Caught the tummy bug.... and I had a fever which, thankfully, only lasted for a day. But I was pretty gone for a while... it's the fourth day now and my tum continues to rumble with toxic gas (it's pretty toxic once released. ;D) and the digestive system is still under maintenance at press time...

Needless to say, I was feeble for the large part of the week... Thank God for Aunt who came on the second and worst day of my tummy flu, to pamper me and put me back on the road to recovery with her yummiest porridge and TLC. She also took over Jeddy, giving me the chance to sleep my flu away... Thanks Gu Gu!!! *muaks muaks muaks* :)

Well, it's been a week and it's time to update this space...

So it is..... Jeddy's mug shot time! ;P
(sorry guys... brain not functioning cos it's linked to my stomach... so can't think of anything decent to write about.... but I do promise a Joker #4 right at the end...)

Mug Shots Series #1: Fresh from the bathtub...


























































It's never a wonder why Jeddy's always full of smiles after his bath... If you look closely at the first picture, you'd see that the floor is wet. Well, a more appropriate word would be flooded! Bath Time = Splash Water Everywhere Time. Everything gets wet, including my underwear. ;P

Haha.

......


Haven't taken a shot with Jeddy in a long while now.... this was taken earlier in the evening... and yep, me mustering all my feeble strength to give a sparky smile. ;D Pardon Jeddy-the-Grouch though... cos Evil Mummy just woke him up from his nap... by pulling his pacifier out!
























......

And here is

Joker #4: Jeddy-the-Hammerhead-Shark

A routine check on him during his nap led to the discovery of this new marine life form. :P


















Have a great weekend folks!

Bullied!

Ever since my laundry load increased significantly courtesy of Mr Jeddy, I've been making him take his meals wearing only his diapers. Especially if he was wearing a white tee. I've learnt that carrot and pea stains are a stubborn lot.

Then of course, only when the weather is warm. Won't want our little precious to catch a chill there ya?

And so it was.... a warm Saturday afternoon. Jeddy was all ready for his pumpkin carrot cereal.

Hubs had the honour of disrobing our little one, and that's where the fun started....

First, Jeddy in a 'sling'. ;)























Second, Jeddy ala Egyptian prince... ;D


















Next, grouchy Egyptian prince gets seated for his meal.























Evil sorcerer turns our Egyptian prince into a Teletubby!!!























Teletubby Jeddy laments his life. XD
























Who said baby mealtimes have to be boring? ;)


Ha!

The Little Joker I Call My Son

Jeddy's been making me laugh out loud a lot these days.

Whether it's experimenting with Chinese dance, sneezing up a huge booger, having a spinach face mask, giving ME a pumpkin pore pack when he sneezes in my face... or reuniting with his ex, this not-so-little bundle sure knows how to crack Mummy and Daddy up.

It could be the most mundane of things, but yet, the funniest...

Well, there were moments I couldn't capture.

But these were the ones I managed to.....

Joker #1: Spinach Mask

You can always tell whether Jeddy likes certain foods... by the mess! He's one clever boy I tell you, trying to escape from eating yucky food by distributing it around his body and chair instead. Like here.


















Spinach clearly doesn't score very well on his To Eat list. By the end of the meal, I had to change him out of his shirt, and basically give him a bath! Little smarty pants will shove his fist into his mouth after I feed him a spoonful, take it out, and smear it on his hair, ears, thighs, anywhere he can reach. Sometimes the fist is there before I put the spoon in. Want to beat his backside, cos you never see that happening with his favourite apple puree. Heck, you don't even need to put a bib on him for that!

......

Joker #2: Chinese Dance

I certainly hope this is not indicative of any preference or inclination. But check out that perfect pose.



















Such grace. ;D ;D ;D

......

Joker #3: Reunion with an Ex

Remember his first love, Ms Flower? After babbling to her non-stop for a month, he ditched her for Ms Butterfly. As far as I know, Jeddy and Ms Butterfly are still going strong. But guess what I chanced upon one fine day? Jeddy trying to get back together with Ms Flower! My my... and there he was, tugging at her persistently, babbling at the same time. He was totally captivated in that manner for a whole 15 minutes!



















Mummy stood out of his line of sight and just observed, snapping pictures of evidence to show him two-timing for the first (and certainly the last, I hope!) time . ;P

I guess it's because Jeddy has discovered a new side to Ms Flower. A side that he loves now.... the Mirror Side!!! kekeke..... now we all know why.......



















......

Well, that's my Joker Jeddy for you. ;)

And Happy Chinese New Year folks.

Sunflower, Jellyfish, and the Little Red Indian

An update on what my itchy hands have been up to lately...

I designed my first amigurumi (that's Japanese for crocheted stuffed toys). Ms Sunflower was created for Brannon, an ex-student of mine. He commissioned me to make a sunflower for 'someone' for the upcoming Val's Day. Bet that someone's real special. ;)

I remembered teaching Bran when he was still an angsty little fella. Haha... But my, has he grown into a fine lad now. Totally proud of him. Continue to live life to the fullest Bran! You've got what it takes!

So here she is, measuring 15 cm tall. I feel happy just looking at her. Do you? :)
























And there's something for my boy too! Mr Jellyfish! :D























Noticed that Jeddy loves to pull at strings, ropes, cords, Tiam YiYi's luscious long hair (;D), such and such these days. So the idea of a little softie jellyfish with flowing tentacles struck me.

This is actually quite easy to make. If you don't have a sewing machine, you can use felt. Just cut out two pieces of felt rectangles and some varied lengths of strings/ropes/ribbons (don't make them too long!). Sew along the sides of the rectangle, inserting the ropes as you go along the base of the jellyfish head. Insert polyfill, and a bell too as you continue. Last of all, don't forget that smiley face. :)

When done, dangle Mr Jellyfish in front of your little one (3 months onwards) and watch him go for the tentacles! Knot the end of the strings or ropes so that it's easier for little hands to grab and hold on to.

So what was Jeddy's reaction to his new friend? I'm sure you could guess...

He shot out his hands with lightning speed and grabbed poor Mr Jello by his tentacles before I could even formally introduce them... He then swung the poor little critter around, and bashed him against the floor repeatedly without any mercy. Totally vicious as usual, but super fun to watch....

So report me to SPCA. ;D

......

......

Now I think I might have managed to teach Jeddy his first game!

It's called The Little Red Indian.

Don't know this game? Check out the vid then.



Since then, we've been playing this with him everyday. And we could see him try holding his note longer and longer for us too!

Mighty fun. :)
