Playtime with Cousins

Vid taken on 07/02/09

A family gathering at our house on a weekend. As Jiaxin was too young to travel far then, my parents, Qian, Hui and her kids had came over to visit us.

The kids had a good time playing together and jumping in the playpen. :) I am glad the kids are getting on very well, especially Jieming and Yaoren who are about the same age. Jieming shared toys with Yaoren voluntarily and Yaoren also reciprocated. So I thought that Yaoren has learnt to give, and to share, but later he took Rui-En's water bottle and refused to return. Rui-En cried but Yaoren was unapologetic. Guess we still need to work a bit more on this, cos sometimes Yaoren was jealous when Jiaxin was playing with his old toys.

No Business for Yun Nan

Same as Yaoren, Jiaxin has alot of hair when she was born and like me, their hair colour is a little brown. Unique huh? :D

I remember that when Yaoren was born, he had very long hair, much longer than Jiaxin's, and his hair kept 'standing up' all the time, like Dragonball's. He also had golden face hair then, which makes him look very special. :)

Jiaxin had very neat hair when she was born, as though she had combed it before meeting us parents for the first time. She was also more hairy than Yaoren. When I first saw her, I was quite surprised to find that she has got so much hair. Cos Jiaxin has got hair on her forehead, ears and arms, I thought it was not very ladylike. Luckily now it's not so obvious and she is looking prettier day by day! :)

Craze with Phones

Yaoren sitting on the sofa and playing with the house telephone. Cool huh? He was very interested in playing with telephones and talking to don't-know-who then. He would quickly take other people's handphones whenever he could and talk happily, after pressing some buttons on the phones. He could also differentiate a real handphone from a toy handphone and is totally not interested in the latter. So sometimes he would play with our handphones when we leave them within his reach and would not let us subsititute it with a toy handphone. :( But then again, sometimes he would play along with us when we use the fan remote controller/calculator/unused diaper/soft toy/hand as a handphone. It all depends on his mood. Haha

2 videos of Yaoren talking on the phone. Notice how he acts like an adult when using phone. :D

The MacDonald's Outing

Aiksoon wanted me to list a few things I would like to do before I gave birth, so that I will 'obediently' go into confinement (I disliked confinement mainly cos I hated not being able to bath). I listed down a few things, and going to MacDonalds's together and having hotcakes for breakfast was one of these. :)

Hence a month before I gave birth, our family of 3 went to MacDonald's. Attached are some pics of the outing, with Aiksoon feeding Yaoren food and him asking me to take pics of them having MacDonald's breakfast.

Then Yaoren befriended a little girl who was very nice and friendly. They kept smiling at each other... till Yaoren caught sight of another beautiful girl who, regrettedly, was walking side by side with her boyfriend. Too bad... haha

You can see that the little girl was obviously not pleased with Yaoren... haha
