Joseph is now starting to cruise. He can readily pull himself to a standing position and starts to ‘walk’ while clinging onto a support. His meals has diversified to include chicken, fish, potatoes and he is as smiley as before.
Esther is doing well in school, but always a little too little sleep. David has started speaking in Mandarin and Cantonese, which is a good sign. He is also starting to read words.
24 July 2009: We add a photo taken on 23 July 2009 here:
Nothing much to update, but just within this past week, Joseph started sitting up by himself and creeping on the ground. Won’t be long before he really crawls and nothing on the floor will be safe from him.
We have moved the play-pen out of our room as he grew too big for it, and now the baby cot is in our room.
Earlier on, on Saturday afternoon 13 June, Esther and David was most helpful in cleaning the car. They each cleaned two rims. Esther cleaned the insides with the vacuum cleaner and David helped YowCH in the windows cleaning.
We’ll be heading North again to PJ this coming Friday for the weekend.
Wow! David turned 5 on 24 March, this is a photo of his birthday celebration at childcare with 19 of his classmates (one absent).
And here’s a picture of Joseph reading the “Farm Animals” cloth book while sitting on the high chair. He loves the book!
And on 28 March, eFG had a picnic at Keppel Island (see photos here).
Today, we had great fun hiking at Macritchie with YowCH, Grace’s dad, and Oliver bringing 6 children for a moderately difficult 7km hike, and up Jelutong Tower. The 45 photos can be seen here. We covered the distance with rest stops and a picnic in 4.5 hours.
Thank God for the good weather, the well-behaved children and the wonderful fellowship we had.
And a few days back, Joseph was sitting pretty well on the sofa:
Added a page for the TYLin Staff Club organised Southern Ridges walk held on 2 Aug 2008.
Here’s a recent photo of Esther, David and Joseph. Joseph is now ten days old.
His jaundice is fading and he is very active now.
Just added a page for the father-son bonding hike at Macritchie on 2 Feb 2008 here. Shortly after CNY, TYLin organised a trip to Sungei Buloh. Grace, Esther, David and YowCH had a great time there with friends from TYLin.
Hooray, we are in PJ now, enjoying the relaxing life of being children and grand children. We took the night train on 17 Sept and arrived on 18 Sept morning, reaching home before 7am! We will leave this Sunday (21 Sept) afternoon, reaching Singapore at night.
Last Monday, 15 Sept, Esther and David had drama presentation at their school. Esther was one of the witches in MacBeth and David was Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. Small roles only, actually, as most of the play was narrated and the play was highly condensed and only one scene or two, but it was pretty fun.
