My son has a serious sock and shoe fetish! He puts his hands into any shoes he can find and uses his hands to 'walk' ard in the shoes. He also laughs real hard when anyone wears socks in front of him, it is most odd!!

So yesterday we were having dinner at my parents' place and Ellie was outside. After my Dad finished his dinner, he went out to play with Ellie. From inside, we could hear a lot of giggles, both from Ellie and Kong Kong. Then they walked back into the house hand-in-hand and we almost died laughing!

1 sock each for Ellie and Kong Kong! Ellie was so pleased, laughing and waving at us all! Hahahaha! Too bad the pic is blur because I was laughing so hard that my hands shook!

Lol too funny! Love how the sock reaches the top of his thigh!!

Ellie started walking around a week ago. Finally, mummy here could tick that milestone off - albeit slower than his counterparts but really, better late than never!!

Just a week after his first steps, he is walking around so much, pottering to and fro and making A LOT of noise as he does, as if to say "look out world, here I come!!!"

Right now he still looks around for us, asking to hold onto our finger when he is tired but I hear that before long, he will be running AWAY from us, rather than toward us, oh boy!!

So finally 14.5 months later, my baby has officially become a toddler. Yahoo!

 
Hold my hand, Dad. Walk with me.

We opened ellie's birthday present from Sean yesterday. When I took the box out and shook it around, Ellie could hardly sit still in anticipation! He kept jumping up and down, wanting me to open it faster. And he went a little crazy with the bricks after, batting them around to make A LOT of noise.

Wah hoo!! Bricks!!

Black and blue

What's that you got there Dad? *suspicious look*

Ahhhhh....

...it's a gun!

I'll destroy it!

Argh! It's become a short gun!

Learning to tip it over!

Bricks bricks, love bricksss!

Clapping after helping to pack it back

Thank you Sean, aunt Debs and uncle Foops for Ellie's new toy!

Today being a public holiday and all, we decided to take Ellie out to lunch. We had settled on going to Ion so I could go for yoga before that. But just as I left yoga, we got a call from Boon to have lunch at Canopy in Bishan Park.

I'm normally wary of such places cos they are overpriced and normally not very delicious. But we decided to give it a shot.

Thankfully we did because it turned out rather lovely! The food came in large portions and more importantly, was enjoyable to eat.

And the ambience was great, Ellie could walk around the park, picking up sticks and kicking stones while we waited for the food to come. Everything was so chillllll.

Banana pancakes for us all!

Rounding the meal off with a cappuccino! Mmm!

Ellie played with his cars...

...and had some banana!

The husband

When asked to give a smile, LOL!

We had a great time, we'll be back!

Coupled with my yoga class in the morning, this very chilled out lunch and the pitter patter of the afternoon rain, I had this very zen feeling that I carried around for much part of the day! Naice!

We visited the zoo yesterday with the 2 babies - Ellie and Jacoby! We almost didn't make it because the blazing hot sun almost made us choose a shopping center instead, the aircon just sounded too enticing!

But we were so thankful we went, the boys really enjoyed it, looking around in wide-eyed wonder!

Ok, let's go!!
