Nov 22, '08 - Jonathan's Ultimate @ 45 weeks

November 22, 2008 - Jonathan @ 45 weeks

Jonathan's ultimate achievement at 45 weeks old!!

My husband was on leave the whole of last week and has witnessed the transformation of Jonathan from just a crawling baby to pulling himself to standing position and then the ultimate - climbing up his baby chair and dance on the chair!!

I have not seen my 2 olders boys done that before. In fact, they only starts to stand and walk at about 1 year old and Jonathan is already learning to climb up a chair at about 10.5 mths!! And this clip is already dunno how many umpty times he has tried climbing up.

See to believe .... enjoy!

Nov 21, 08 - Jon pushed away dad's hand which blocked his view from the TV program

Nov 15, 2008 - Jon trying out strawberry & banana

November 15, 2008 - Jonathan @44 weeks

Jonathan was given strawberry and banana to try. See his expression when he tried the strawberry and you will know if that is sweet... haha.

Nov 11, 08 - Jon knows how to crawl

November 11, 2008 - Jonathan @43 weeks

oops... what a mummy I am, just learnt that Jonathan knows how to crawl and he has already been crawling for quite some time now.

Anyway, his 2 older brothers did not crawl, they just sit and then walk. Good for him to learn crawling, you get mobile and can move around the house earlier.

We're going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo .... Nov 1, 2008 (Saturday)

My sister, Edna, bought our family tickets to her Company's Family Day to the zoo on 1 November '08. Wow, the boys all went ga-ga over it and can't wait for this day to arrive, since our Friends of the Zoo card expired some months ago.


For this round, we have decided to bring Jonathan along, since he hardly follows us to such outings beside the one to Sentosa... and guess what? It poured so heavily that morning! We almost gave up going to the event but decided to wait a while since it was still early then. I think all of us agreed that Jonathan is a 贵人 (old times people used to refer to a high-ranking government officer) ... because there is a saying ... 贵人出门招风雨. haha..


Anyway, all of us managed to get to the zoo at about 9.15am. It was still drizzling then, but it was still alright for the boys, only have to 'cover' Jon up in his pram, he must be feeling very hot in there. Well, we stayed there for a couple of hours, to be exact, it's from 9am to 5.30pm, a solid 8.5 hours!! That is because the boys found a new playground, Rainforest Kidzwork, which just opened 2 weeks ago. The boys were really exhausted at the end of the day.



Share with you some of the photos....


Yeh Yeh!
"We going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo
How about you, you, you
You can come too, too, too
We going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo"


Jonathan is really excited after we have changed him. He knows he will be going out 'gai gai' soon.

Jonathan is ready to go out. Isn't he cute?

It was drizzling, so did not manage to take a good photo of Jon at the Zoo entrance. We are about to set off, and the time then was only 9.30am.

Joshua has his face painted at the carnival.

Joshua met Edna's colleague at the carnival. They 'knew' each other at Edna's house when we celebrated her birthday.

Daddy and Joel, at the Rainforest Fights Back, waiting for the animal show to start.

All in attention when the show starts and they saw animals running across on the hanging rope.

This is the entrance to the Rainforest Kidzwork, isn't it wonderful? This playground replaced the older playground next door.

Before entering the Kidzwork, they have this Wild Animal Carousel at the entrance. Of course, how can the boys let it go... but I also find it interesting and fun.

Joel is riding on a flying eagle... because gor gor took up his favourite dinosaur.












Joshua on the Triceratop.

They have many other animals, like leopards, elephant, chipanzee, giraffe, zebra, etc, etc. So colourful and interesting.




Upon entering the Kidzwork, we found this small village hut that resemblance the past kampong houses. They even have the figurine that looked so real I don't even dare to take a pic of them.

You can see the TV set, fan, and even the sewing machine.







This is the kitchen area. hmmm... what do you want for dinner tonight?










Now comes the playground. They construct this place which look similar to that of Wild Wild Wet.

Joshua posing infront of the water spray.







Another picture of Joshua.









Look familiar? Yet, they have the 'yakult' pail, similar to Wild Wild Wet.

It's so colourful and interesting here that I told myself I must remember my extra clothings the next time I visit.







Joshua and Joel - waiting for the pail to fill up. Well, actually their naughty daddy asked them to sit there and they must do it for at least one round, otherwise we'll head for home soon.







Here comes the water! But where are my boys ???








Guess what? As we walked deeper into the garden, we entered into the prehistoric trail where we found the animated T-Rex! And there are more to come.








Althought Joel loves dinosaur, somehow he is reluctant to have his photo taken with this T-Rex because it is animated! It moves and roars!







Joshua and Joel with 'spiked tail'.

Joel with his favourite Triceratop.

He felt better after we explained to him that they are just rubber creature, and they can't walk out nor bite. Actually the dinosaurs look quite realistic.

Oh yes, they even have the olden days transportation to bring you across the river. See, they boys are pulling the rope to transport all the passengers across the water.

Joel and the bunnies.

The 3 boys after a day of hard play. They were very tired but yet seemed like still have endless energy to continue further. But daddy and mummy already very tired already lor...

Joel and Jonathan. See what a smiley face Jonathan had.

As we were on our way out to the exit, the boys walked through the Spice Garden and were facinated by the many plants there. They decided to take a pic with the giant mangoesteen.

Daddy and Jonathan. Actually Dick's legs have been swollen for a couple of weeks, but he still 'tong' to bring the boys to the zoo and he had been walking the whole day lor. He must be thinking this is tougher than going to work. haha.











As usual, the boys just liked to 'subdue' the crocodile each time we are about the leave the zoo.

Joshua and Joel posing infront of the elephants family.










Oh, the boys has also successfully manage to get their daddy buy them the dinosaur toys at the Kidzwork souvenir shop.

Joshua has chosen the pterandon, the dinosaur bird. All the different parts are magnetic and can be easily joined together.

Joel has chosen the Tyrannosaurus Rex. He has been eyeing on this T-Rex at the time we enter into the Kidzwork.

Actually the boys had exchanged their chance to ride on the pony with the dinosaur toys instead. Good deal? I think so.

Jonathan knows how to pull himself from lying to sitting position - 2 Nov '08

Jonathan can pull himself into sitting position with some encouragement - Nov2, 08




Jonathan's Achievements (2 Nov '08):

- Pull himself into sitting position
- Stand with the wall as support for a couple of minutes
- Sit steadily without any support
- Asking for food or drink... or he will sign 'more' signalling he wants more of what he is having then.
- He is already budding with 8 little teeth
- He has already called 'papa' and 'mama'... but think he called papa first :-(
- He can see me from far and readily responds by kicking his legs and waving his hands. He can even shout for me.
- Shout with excitment when he sees his brothers playing toys, he wants to join in the fun. oh my, the making of the 3 musketeers. ;-)

Just last night (1 Nov'08), I found that Jon is quite quick witted. I was carrying him on my lap when daddy walked into the room. His daddy then called out his name near his right ear but quickly shifted to the left side. Normal behavior would make Jon turns towards his right side and this happened for a couple of times, alternate between left and right side. 5 minutes later when his daddy tried out the same game again, ie. called out his name on his right side and then shifted to the left, Jon actually turned to his left instead!! haha... guess he already familiar with his daddy's trick!

Jonathan - My Little Darling

Oct 11 - Jonathan 1st 'real' outing... oopss. We are going to Sentosa and guess what? He only took 2 very short nap from between 10am to 8pm at night!! He is definitely very excited and too excited to close his eyes to nap even though he is very tired. Well... definitely more to go.

Oct 8 - Joel and Jonathan

Sep 28 - Jonathan in his private pool! haha. I actually have this baby pool set up outside my house. He enjoyed it so much that he refuses to come out of the water.








Sep 28 - the other older boys also fight to get into the small pool. But it's so cute lor and neighbor thought it's a good idea to have them play in clean water right outside the house. But it's a bit waste of water...

Sept 14, - can stand with some support.

Sep 16 - Jonathan standing on a chair and he is learning to pull himself into standing position.

Sep 21 - how about this? Cool?
