Meet my new cousin!

Hi everyone! Guess what!! I have a new cousin!

My new cousin was born on 24th October, last wednesday. She came home from the hospital yesterday and we (Gege Nigel, Shannon and I) have been constantly asking to see the baby!


She's a cutie! See the pictures Daddy took..




Here's all of us.. with Mama carrying my new cousin!!


She has no name yet.. but I'm sure Uncle Leonard and Aunty Celest will think of a nice name!


See you all really soon!

It has started...

The "whys" have started taking dominance in our conversations these days. The way they are asked, it's just so cute. I don't think he fully understands how it is used yet but he can definitely give good answers to my "whys". :)

M: Why are you yawning?
G: cos I want to sleep. (he actually says cos, sometimes b'cos when corrected) (I've got to stop him from using it soon.. if not, it'll be a problem with his Comprehension in school later on!)

T2

Turning two has been a trying milestone for us. Gabriel has been falling sick more often these days. Coughs can be triggered by eating too many prawns or too much fried food, both which he love very much. Flu ding-donging from me to him, to Fred and back to him again and it's been non-stop for a long time already.

Being sick so often should mean he is cranky and grouchy most times, but in his case. He is as jumpy, energetic, hyper and happy!! Getting him to rest and sleep is not easy unless I give him sleep-inducing medicine (Nothing to be worried about, it's just the usual cold meds) :)

He also has his fair share of being a Terrible-Two Year Old. There are tantrum-throwings, crying and fussing for the smallest stuff and being an even more OCD boy. He cannot have his fork or spoon "dirtied" by his food. He also fusses because his stroller's wheels are wet or have leaves stuck on them. Weird huh?

There are times for being a Terrific-Two too. He has some kind of sixth sense when it comes to how I feel on any day. On my bad days, he is so sweet and always smothers me with kisses and hugs for no reason at all. He is a lot more cooperative and obedient then as well, and even remembers to let me know that he needs to pee.

Gabriel Da Vinci?

Whenever I pick up a crayon, Mummy and Daddy look intently, like they are looking for some meaning in my doodling..


See my turtles compared to Mummy's cute cute turtle!!

Lately, I've been telling them what I draw.. and here are a few of my intentional outcomes..

Close up view! Like my whales?



I currently draw fish, whales, snails, snakes, worms and the number 2!! Other than that, it's usually funny shaped boulders, rocks and ice-cream!


Can you spot the fish?

I realy love drawing and sometimes, I won't let go of my box of crayons, no matter what!!

Say "Awwwwwwww"

Just before he drifted off to nap today, he turned to me, "Mummy?" "Yes?" my usual reply to him. "I love you." My heart just melted.

All the head-banging, hair-pulling and shouting that I was doing half an hour before were quickly forgotten.

Singing...

Lately, I've been singing a fair bit..

Mummy and Daddy sometimes have no clue what I sing.. but when they finally get it.. I decide to change song again!

These days, Mummy doesn't sing me to sleep anymore.. I do that on my own! Especially when I'm really tired..
