I know I must sound like the baddest mummy on the face of the earth... but I've always wanted to catch Jeddy's little trips and falls on video... so I can laugh at it all I want as many times as I want!
Wuahahahaha! *snort*
I finally caught it. Jeddy's little slip up. Don't worry, no babies were harmed in the filming of this video. ;) Just a little fright that's all.
Hee hee...
Hubs and I were laughing and clutching our stomachs as we watched it (like 20 times). We even paused the vid at various points to analyze the way he fell and to marvel at how he managed to break his fall with his hand, regain balance using his legs and prevent a knock to the back of the head.
Our little Jeddy is becoming a veteran.
Heh heh.... ;D

Cart Boy
I'm soooo thankful that Ikea, Giant and Courts are just 5 minutes away from my place. What's more, there's a free shuttle at the bus stop just a couple of blocks away!
Needless to say, these have become our favourite weekday haunts, especially when we (read Mummy) get sick and tired of the four walls...
So Jeddy boy is now Cart Boy! ;D
Ikea's Cart Boy
On such trips, I always bring the rickety-rack lightweight stroller. It's light and no-frills enough for me to swing it over my shoulders when we get up the bus. I can also slot it right under the shopping cart!
Giant's Cart Boy
There's no need to even bring a stroller on trips to Giant. I just slug him over my arm on the bus trip and pop him straight into the cart when we reach there. He stays in there with his warm furry friends while I check off my shopping list. ;)
*sigh of contentment*

Stock Clearance
These have been sitting in the deep freeze compartment for close to one year. The 'freshest' was apparently bagged in December!
In case you're still muddleheaded, these are bags of liquid gold! Or so I say. ;D
I painstakingly (and obsessively) squeezed my udder just so I could stockpile the milk for emergencies. Back in those days when Jeddy was still pimply, wrinkled, and demanding and to be fed every two hours, I pumped between feeds and in the middle of the night for months in order to have at least 7 days worth of milk in the freezer. It doesn't help that my boobies do not respond well to pumps, both electric and manual, and have to pump several times a day just to fill one bag. And being the paranoid dettol queen, it was wash and sterilize after every pump. It's a wonder why I didn't go crazy.
Still, Jeddy did not take a single bag of these milk. Cheh!
But honestly I thank God for taking such good care of us, that those 'emergencies' never happened, and I was able to breastfeed Jeddy all these months without a hiccup. I am also very very thankful that although he's not been on the bottle for more than 10 times since his birth, he does not reject it. And I was able to steal some afternoons away, leaving my parents or aunt to give him a formula feed.
That said, these milk are going into the trash and ice-cream is going into that deep-freeze compartment. Hurrah!
:)

Seiza?
Seiza - 'the traditional formal way of sitting in Japan...'
Jeddy is loving this slightly altered version of the seiza. I guess it launches him into the crawling mode and back, more quickly and efficiently. My my, already taking short cuts at such a tender age??
Mum said I used to sit like that too when I was a kiddo (oops). ;D Apparently bad habits run in the blood as well. Heh heh... Anyway, I tried to do the Jeddy-seiza and my creaky old bones protested right away. Ouch!
Wanna see if you too are a bag of creaky old bones? Try this! It's like kneeling, only that your feet goes to the sides of your bum instead of under it. Refer to Jeddy sensei above. *snigger*
Ha! Is that a grimace I see on your face? ;D
Well, just when you thought Jeddy boy is now oh-so-proper... he popped right back to his coolie squat!
*tsk tsk*

Joker Jeddy Shot
Who's that pipe-smoking coolie squatting in my living room?!
Oh, it's just my Joker Jeddy in action again. ;D

Lizard Boy?
Guess what happened to Jeddy's skin?
Gave you a fright there eh? ;D Those are merely sarong marks...
Yep, you heard right. I've finally cast aside my stubbornness and use the sarong for his day naps.
Now now. Before you shake your head in disappointment, do hear me out.
Ever since Jeddy was able to pull himself up with the bed railings at about 7 months plus, nap times became a living nightmare for the both of us. He'll pull himself up over and over (and over) again every time I put him down on the bed. If I leave him be, he'll bawl at my abandonment. If I take him out of the cot to rock him in my arms, he'll squirm and try to twist out of them. What ever happened to the fall-asleep-by-himself angel that I had?!
I could take up to one and a half hours just to make him fall asleep. And that's only cos he's drained of every last ounce of strength. Other days, my energizer bunny would go on and on and on and I'd be the one to raise the white flag. On the whole, he clocked only about 1-2 hours of nap(s) a day on his bed, much to his exhaustion and mine!
So! I gave in for my sanity's sake. And boy did it work!
He takes two naps now and clocks about 3-4 hours in total. Plus it only takes about 15 minutes to knock him into dreamland. *rejoices*
He still tries to flip over in his sarong (highly dangerous) and there were a few times where I had to struggle with him for about half an hour but those are few and far in between...
I'm thankful nonetheless... You try rocking a 10-kg squirming sack of rice in your arms for just 5 minutes and you would be too!
Here's my 10 kg sack of rice dreaming about what to eat for lunch. ;)

Thanks GuGu so much for the sarong set. *muacks*
