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)

The Transporter
Just the other day, I found a few of Jeddy's favourite rattly balls on top of the low shelf...
I don't remember putting them there, and I know Hubs never touches the toys (unless I make him). So who exactly planted them there?
Then I saw Jeddy pick up Mr Jellyfish, crawl noisily over to the couch, stand up (supported of course), and dumped the critter there.
Ahhh.........
Since then, it's always Jeddy-the-Transporter on the move.... To be honest, I think he's marking his territory... and I suspect he wants to take over the whole house.
Jokes aside, I guess he's now at this phase where he just wanna bring stuff to high places and play with them there. Heard it's a common development for kiddos... And it's a matter of time before he learns to hide things. I'm pretty sure one of my slippers will mysteriously disappear one day and end up in the fridge.
;D
Anyway, we caught him on video this morning trying to put his little play blocks on the dining table. It's pretty cute. ;)
Enjoy!

Caught on Camera!
While we're still fresh on the topic of bums, here's droopy-pants Jeddy flashing his butt crack.
Sexehh.... ;D
Sexehh.... ;D
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

30 Plus 1
I turned 31 a few days ago.
And had a little birthday bash of sorts. :)
Aunt was here on one of her weekly visits and so was Sis and Hui. She cooked up a storm for all of us, which included a send-you-straight-to-bliss chicken soup. ;D It was such a great dinner, filled with jokes and hearty laughter from all. Ok, maybe not all. Jeddy probably didn't know what was going on half the time but was content with just sitting at the table with us munching on sweet potato puffs.
Sis bought a mango cake in the afternoon. What's a birthday without a cake, she says... :D Well, seems like Hubs had exactly the same thing in mind! When he came home from work that evening, he was bearing gifts and a giant cake at the door! Upon close inspection, the cake wasn't really a cake. It was a COMPLETE, UNCUT Coffee Club Muddy Mudpie!! In short, the whole thing is coffee and chocolate ice-cream perched on top of an Oreo crust. *drooling down my neck*
That's why I have two cakes.
Yay!
Single stalk of Lily from Hubs. A gesture as sweet as the flower itself. ;)
A person I can't do without in my life!
The Master Chef.
My first birthday with Jeddy Boy!
A must-have shot. ;)
After singing the birthday song. :D
Jeddy totally captivated.
What a difficult 'cake' to cut!
Happy Birthday to me! *confetti*
Thanks for all your well wishes. Hugs!
And not to forget Mum, who also prepared a pre-birthday bash for me! Thank you! :)

The Hair
I like Jeddy's hair.
I think it gives him personality and makes him more popular with the general community. Though I'm sick and tired of the aunties who are always advising me to shave his head, I'm secretly pleased with the attention they shower on Jeddy boy. ;)
So no, I'm NOT going to cut his hair. In fact I want to see how tall it can grow! *snigger*
Seriously, no offence to anyone out there, but I do not think that shaving his head will make his hair grow out thicker and darker. It's all an illusion. Yep. Cos they shaved mine when I was a babe and I still grew fuzz after that. It was so bad my folks dressed me up as a boy so people would stop asking if I were a boy! *poor them*
Ok, so we all know where Jeddy got his hair genes from... But hey! My hair is now quite (;P) thick and black! So no worries eh? ;) Let's have fun with his hair while it's still like that...
Introducing Mohawk Boy! Man, what a perfect arc!
And Evil Gremlin Boy! (those from my generation will know this ;D)
Correction. I LOVE Jeddy's hair.
;D
......
End Note: I'm sure you've noticed the new Jeddy banner that this blog now sports. Yep, it's the fine work of Jeddy's Hui Hui biao-yi. Thanks for all your effort Hui Hui! *muaks!*

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...

Jeddy and Company #2
More kiddy friends for Jeddy!
Ethan is Esther's 6 month old. This is her second boy (her first is 6 year old Elliot) and he's soooooo cute and smiley! A huge contrast to Jeddy's oh-so-serious disposition, I must say! ;P Esther's my colleague from Hai Sing Catholic School. We went in together last year and became fast friends. It was such a pleasant coincidence that we were preggs around the same time too! :)
Hey brudder!
Ethan is so huggable I tell you. And he's really fair! Personally, I think Jeddy is about 50 shades darker than him! Kekeke
Let's be friends!
We were actually at Juin's place here. She has just given birth to a sweet little precious girl named Kaylee. The three of us were teaching Geography at HSC and it was such fun working together. I am really thankful for them.
Hooray for great colleagues-turned-friends too!
:)

Jeddy and Company #1
Just when you thought Jeddy doesn't have any kiddy friends, here's the first one! :)
Cousin Liying is just 9 months older than Jeddy. He gets to 'disturb' her every Sunday when we go to his YeYe's place for lunch. Liying belongs to Hub's second sis. She has another two boys, age 4 and 2. As of today, Jeddy prefers the boys, crawling after them and squealing with delight as he watches them play. Boy, I can just see a kiddy club forming in a few years' time. Well, good for Jeddy! :)
Here, Liying has just woken up from her nap and is zoning out, seemingly unfazed by Jeddy's taunting.
Hooray for cousins! :)

Paparazzi
Our Jeddy boy is now popular enough to have his own paparazzi shots!
Hey gimme that camera!
Stop taking my pictures!
Oh where can I hide my face?!
Stop or I'm giving you a karate chop! *haieeeya*
;D
