Speaker's Corner for Tots

Jeddy boy has just put a whole new meaning to the term babbling. I've always known that my boy is passionate about what he believes in... but I never imagined he'd drag a high stool to the middle of the living room and deliver a speech on it.

Not that I have any idea what he's talking about, but I think I can guess...

Welcome to the Speaker's Corner for Tots!


Today, we have Mr Jeddy, who is going to give us a speech on why toddlers should only have cornflakes and cheerios for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He will also argue that yakult should be the only source of fluid intake for all blooming tots.

So let's put our hands together and welcome Mr Jeddy! *applause applause*



Note: The above is only an excerpt of the entire speech, which was more than 2 minutes in recorded length. Our Jeddy boy here also seems to love an appreciative audience, whose amusement only serves to fuel his animated discourse.

Tee hee hee...

;D

Goofy Fan

See what's tickling Jeddy Boy...



And by the time this video was taken, Jeddy would have repeated the synchronization at least 8 times!

;D

Jeddy And His Wooden Puzzles

Jeddy surprised us one night when he put all the pieces of his wooden puzzle in their right places. And I'm pretty certain he hasn't been secretly practising either.

Just to make sure it wasn't all a fluke, we put him through a puzzle marathon. And we're pleased to announce... it's not a fluke!

*confetti*

Well I don't care if kiddos his age (20 months) are supposed to be pros at these kind of things already, but Hubs and I did a little victory dance for him. ;D

*another round of confetti*

Here's Jeddy on his third round with this puzzle. We had to be sure, don't we? ;P















































Jeddy completing his puzzle. We threw in a little trick for him at the end and he almost fell for it!

Enjoy!




Wowes! ;D

What's That? Wowes!

Sigh... just when we thought Jeddy Boy was getting somewhere with his language skills.... Until I pointed to a bowl and asked him what that was. "Wowes!" And then the helicopter toy... "Wowes!" And then the chair... "Wowes!"

Well, you get the gist of it.

*shake head*

Thankfully though, he only points to wheels and says 'wowes'. Any other item he points to goes by "eh!"

Gosh...

Anyway, it's all very cute to me. ;)

Here's Jeddy eating a whole apple, all by himself. He would have eaten the core as well, if I hadn't stopped him in time.






































































If you have a toddler and would like to try him/her out on an apple, try the Golden Delicious Apple. It's green on the outside but really sweet. Leave it out on the kitchen counter to ripen further for a couple of days so that it's wonderfully soft and juicy for the little tot.

*Pointing to apple*
"What's that, Jeddy?"
"Wowes!"

*roll eyes*

Did You Miss Jeddy Boy? ;D

Whoa.... it's been more than a month since I last updated! One big apology to all you Jeddy fans out there! So sorry to have you click on this blog only to find Jeddy sitting on the table all the time! Haha! ;D

No excuses, but Jeddy boy is really demanding so much more of my time and energy right now. Just two weeks short of being an 18-month old, he's well on his way to being a full-blown toddler.

In a nutshell, Jeddy is still a bundle of babbles, crazy (really crazy!) about wheels, constantly testing limits (including that mineral water bottle that he tried to stand on), and oh-well, pretty hairless.

;)

Let's have a vid, shall we? At least this shows his babbling, love for vehicles (he tries to steer the book while being transfixed on the picture of a car), expanding vocal range (until it breaks at the highest note), and of course, his pretty hairless head.

Credit must go to Hubs who filmed Jeddy for 4 whole minutes. Our joker was that focused on the book and picture. Anyway, I took out the boring bits, so this vid is less than 1 minute, in case you were wondering. ;)

Here goes!

Jeddy's Classic Dance Moves

I can't dance for nuts. So it didn't exactly surprise me that Jeddy's dance moves are less than impressive. It does make for a good laugh though, for now. ;)

Don't forget to check out that droopy diaper!




Jeddy and the-super-nerd dance move
























Jeddy needs a drink after all that hip shaking

Kiss Kiss

This video was taken a couple of weeks back, when we asked him to kiss Papa. He seemed to enjoy being kissed instead!

Anyway, I thought that both father and son look really alike in this vid, not to mention really happy too! ;)



Well, this morning, when we asked him to kiss Papa again, he opened his mouth really wide and clamped onto the whole of Hub's lips!

It was a kiss, nonetheless, albeit a mega slobbery one!

:D

Stamp Stamp

Jeddy came up to me one afternoon, holding his aquadoodle mat in one hand, and a triangular stamp in the other. He then shoved these into my lap, demanding that I play with him immediately.

Thing is, Jeddy has never played with this before. Yes, I've shown him how but he's always turned his nose at it, and I end up doodling on the mat myself. So imagine my surprise when he brought it to me.

I quickly filled the 'inkpad' with water, with Jeddy hot on my heels. He has zero patience at times like this.

Once I laid out the mat and the ink pad, he went on his stamping frenzy. Really amazed that he remembered how to use the stamps, even though I've only shown him how to once or twice, and pretty long ago.

Anyway, here's Jeddy in his stamp-stamp video. Happy stamping!

Liking the rush of blood to your head, Jeddy Boy? ;)

Jeddy the Fruit Juice Seller

I mentioned in a previous entry that Jeddy simply loves to stuff his ball popper machine with anything but the balls that come with it. Little did I realize he would make a 'profession' out of it.



Fancy some juice? Though I highly doubt that the carrot+lemon+corn+onion+cucumber+tomato power combi would taste very good.

*eyurk*

;D

Inventing His Own Games...

I wish I could take a trip into Jeddy's mind just to take a peek at what goes on in there. For most of his toys, apart from playing with them the way they ought to be played with, he usually takes them one step further with his self-invented games.

He's especially smitten with balancing items over the edge of the table. Using his fingers, he'd slowly inch the item closer and closer to the edge till it hangs over precariously. The game ends when the item falls to the floor.

And then there's this ball-popper machine which he got from his PoPo for his birthday. Little balls roll down a ramp and shoots out of a chute. Lately, he's been jamming the chute with everything he could find. One morning I found the chute filled to the brim with an assortment of play blocks, plastic fruits and even a pill box! And if that's not enough, there was a book perched right on top of it! My little joker is secretly conducting his own science experiments behind my back...

Loving all oddly shaped items, he would also go flat onto the floor and analyze how each item roll, tip, and topple. The best thing is he looks so serious while being totally absorbed in his little world of child's play...

Cute.

Anyway, having grown bored lately with putting in and taking plastic balls out of a little plastic basin during his baths, he had come up with another game for them. Rolling them off the edge of his bathtub!

Welcome to Jeddy's world!

What's That Face??

This is definitely a head-scratcher for me. I can't figure out what that face means...

Can you? ;)

Slip Up

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

Traumatized Jeddy

I hope Jeddy boy is not having nightmares tonight. He was totally traumatized by the little toy train that choo-choos and spouts music as it moves.

Totally.

You have to watch it to believe it.

We regretted not letting the camera roll longer cos his expression was absolutely hilarious! But at that point in time, we just didn't have the heart to torture him for even half a second longer.

You wouldn't too, right?

;D



(Note: This is actually not the first time that Jeddy has seen the train. I showed it to him a couple of months back and got exactly the same response. I've heard that if you let him interact with it long enough, he will stop being afraid, but he looked soooo scared. Even after I put it away, he kept clinging to me and stealing wary glances in the direction where the train was. I must admit that even I was creeped out! ;P)

Buns of Steel

That's not my secret fantasy, in case you were wondering. ;D

It's my joker Jeddy... Yep. My boy has buns of steel.

Or at least that's what I suspect. How else would he fall flat on his bum countless times a day with nary an expression on his face and hardly an 'oof'??

He has since 'dropped' from considerable heights, including the feeding chair, which he managed to climb onto with those chunky legs of his! But I'm real glad that he's passed the phase where he simply falls backwards onto his head. At least I don't have to watch him that much now. Yippee! ;)

Here's a short vid featuring that bum of his.


Kidding you not eh?

;D

Jeddy the Busy Bee

Babies are really busy little beings. There's just so much to fiddle with, so many crevices to crawl in, and so many small spaces to wedge in. Each day is a promise for new discoveries!

Maybe age is catching up with me, or I'm just plain unfit. Either way, I'm having trouble catching up with my boy. And he's only 9 months old! *cold sweat*

Let's see... Jeddy spends about 8 to 9 hours a day playing... and that excludes meal times, bath times and drag-him-to-the-bed-screaming times.

I'm thankful that my little one is able play by himself. About a third of the time is spent on his own. I just have to keep my little sharp eye on him while I busy myself around the house.

However lately, I find that I have to hover around him more and more. He's really squeezing himself into all the strange little corners of my house and getting himself into all sorts of dangerous situations. *shudder* I don't have the heart to confine him to a playpen and his room is showing absolutely no sign of becoming his anytime soon! So in the meanwhile, I just have to waddle after him, to catch him if he falls, to smack his hands if he goes for the wires and power outlets, and to whisk him away if he's heading towards forbidden zones (much to his displeasure). Yep, that's my new job. Personal Bodyguard. On duty 24-hours. ;)

I'll let you take a peek at Jeddy hard at 'work'. I think this video is the longest I've ever uploaded. It barely cleared the 100MB limit!

(Note: tried to attach the video twice and it failed both times! In the end I had to cut up the video into bite size portions.)

Part 1: Jeddy trying to sit down from standing position.



Part 2: Moving off to the second 'station' to play knock-knock with his favourite toys.



Part 3: Chasing after a renegade toy and giving up after a while... Just get another toy lor... No biggie. ;D




Busy busy busy...

8 Months!

Lil' Jeddy turns 8 months in a few minutes.

And we're wrapping him up in a little package for all his fans. ;D























Milestones Update: The teething boy is crawling quite efficiently by now and is able to sit up from the prone position. He tries very hard to pull himself up to stand but I think he has inherited Mummy's T-Rex arms (read feeble). Heh heh... all in good time. Still, he's able to stand while supporting his hands on either the tea table or my bum. I've become some sort of an obstacle course for him these days. He's so far cleared my legs and big bottom. I rue the day when he can climb over my head! ;)

......


Joker Jeddy Moment
Dinner today for the little one is Fish and Broccoli Porridge. Teething boy must be feeling mighty sore in the gums. After taking a spoonful, he dug around his mouth with a pudgy fist and went on to rub all over his head and face! You must enlarge the picture and have a closer look at where all the fish and broc ended up! And he has the gall to laugh! Grrr....



















......

And here's a vid of the day when he first started to crawl forward. Since then, he has been appointed as the Floor Duster. After a crawling session, his cotton singlet would have picked up a fair amount stray hair and dust. Oh, and the occasional unfortunate ant (once I found one flattened against his forehead!). YaHoo!



......


Happy 8 Months Jeddy Boy! *kisses*

Muppet Show

Sis indulged Lil' Jeddy in a little muppet show today at Ikea.



And of course I brought that little green lizard home. I promise to take care of it and give it a good bath and spin in the washer once a month. I also promise that Jeddy will not torture it too much.... not too much.... hee hee...

;)

(Due to the format of this video, it takes donkey years to load... my advice is to load it, go surf around a little and just wait for the chuckle. ;) )

Love Those Gummy Grins

Jeddy is not a smiley baby. Granted, there are smiles and chuckles everyday but it's not easy to squeeze those from Serious Boy.

That's why we treasure those smiley grin-ny moments all the more!

We are loving his toothless gummy grins and laughs. Glad we have this video to remind us of them. But even then, this vid is 'tainted' for if you look really closely, you'll be able to spot those teeth.

So here's after his dinner, and the little guy is trying to poop. But his joker dad is making him laugh. Poor little guy doesn't know what to focus on. That explains his zone-out moments in between chuckles.



Oh, he did poop after that. Big dump.

Double joy. ;D

Jeddy's Talking!!!!!

At least he's been trying to. :)

The whole of last week, he was pursing his lips and making 'mm' 'mm' sounds a lot. So I thought to myself, what the heck, and said 'papa' and 'mama' in response every time he 'mm mm' away.

It works!!!!!!!!!!

And he's been uttering papa mama everyday for about a week now, albeit randomly.

Coincidence? So what? I'm melting onto the floor each time he 'mama's to me.

Managed to capture it on vid today.

May sound like a lot of senseless baby babbling to you, but it's music to my ears... indeed. :)



Oh, Hubs and I had a little bet (on nothing as usual) about who Jeddy will call first, whether it's papa or mama.

And guess what?

I win.

Of course!

;D
