my little chubby baby.
jerome is growing very chubby and wayyyyy heavier than jerry when he is at the same age. the 2 brothers are currently sharing and wearing the same pool of clothings (!!!) and my arms ache a great deal from carrying jerome! here’s some random cute pictures of the little one! he always has this smirk on his face! pouty lips here. blowing raspberries while doing tummy time “huh? you calling me?” i dont have much pictures of the little one. i should really get my act together and snap more pictures! he retaliated by going on a milk strike yesterday and literally snoozed the day away! well,…

achievement unlocked.
i singlehandedly, brought 2 kids out with me for lunch. YAY! i guess its an achievement in my motherhood books. we headed out for lunch with my girlfriend in my hood because i dont think i could have gone far with the 2 kids. actually, i could have since i have my bro’s car but der left for work with the 2 car seats in his car! im solo parenting with zero help this week. my mum is in hospital for an ear surgery, my brother is off holidaying in seoul, der couldnt get off work this week, so i just gotta deal with it. i do have a…

big brother jerry.
i was trying to grab some bites of my lunch earlier and didnt have my eyes on jerry since he is with his toys in the living room and babytv on tv for his entertainment. jerome is sleeping on the sofa. my mum was in the kitchen and when she came out, here’s the sight that greeted her. he took jerome’s half finished bottle of milk that was left on the table and tried to shove it into his mouth, all on this own. i swear this wasnt staged and i was still munching on my veggies when my mum called me. i happen to see jerome flashing a…

motherhood is especially fun when you have company.
im slowly counting down to the end of the maternity leave and am not looking forward to it. while looking after 2 kiddos is tough and tiring, having friends going through the same period of motherhood with you and enjoying the same stretch of maternity leave is kinda fun.. there’s excitement in our days as we share stories in our whatsapp group chat, plan lunches and meet up, as well as playdates. there is also loads of laughter and discussion about everything under the sun so there is never a dull moment. i am also especially thankful that they are a bunch of very encouraging mums as well and always…

playset of yesteryears @ raffles place
in commemoration of 50 years of greening singapore, the national park board introduced a roving installation called ‘Playset of the Yesteryears’ . Or otherwise in my own words, known as old school playground because it features play equipment that were popular in the 70s and 80s (my time!). so when i first found out about it, i had to check it out just for reminiscing sake. the playset features a variety of swings (my favourite!), merry-go-rounds and see-saws installed on a bed of sand (oh, don’t you miss this?). i brought jerry to check it out, but honestly, i think i was a lot more excited than he is. …

sunday morning swim.
we packed jerry off to a swim on sunday morning. its been a long while since we brought him to the pool.. thankfully, he can still fit in his bumblebee suit! looking really cute and no idea where he is going.. mega excited once he sees the pool and kept running towards it even before we got ready. *splash* his neck float doesnt quite work anymore.. while it still fits, it wasnt able to hold his weight and he kept drinking water. we need to get him a new float soon! he also refused to sit in the other float and just wants to waddle/jump around the pool! me trying…

good friday play date.
the bestie’s family and us headed out to jacob ballas children garden on friday morning for some water play. the last time the 2 kids met, jerry was still very young! we wanted to hang out at the sand pit first but jerry was immediately attracted by the sprays of water a distance away and ran towards the water to play! it was before i could even settle down (i.e. find a shady spot) and *poof* he was gone along with estelle’s plates and with daddy chasing after him. this kid, he really loves playing with water. filled with smiles.. it was extremely tough to capture adequate pictures of…

jerome turns 2 months old!
jerome turned 2 months old last saturday and we brought him in for his vaccination early saturday morning. he’s been growing really fast and have outgrown a lot of his clothes, some of the hand-me-downs which had spent a lot of months with jerry now cannot fit him anymore. his stats for the month – 5.5kg, 53cm tall. i cant remember his head circumference though and it was not recorded in his health booklet. he’s been pretty much the same but has grown a lot sturdier, heavier, and stronger (he can straighten his body and push himself up from the bumbo seat). his kicks are very strong as well…

manicures.
a quick check and *gasps* its been a long long while since i did a post on my manicures. my last post dated aug 26 last year had me mentioning that it would probably be one of the last pedicure that i’ll be doing in a while, and it kinda gave hints to many about the pregnancy. while it wasnt really my last pedicure (i still attempted to paint them thereafter) but i didnt think it was a good job done (cant really see properly with the tummy in the way) and i got way too tired to even find time to blog. at the same time, i…

dinner at poulet and shopping.
last week, i felt really down and worn out, i asked the husband if he could come home earlier and bring me out for a nice dinner. i was on the verge of breakdown from the lack of sleep, the baby chores and being available for everyone else but myself ever since jerome is born. he obliged and i was a really happy girl thereafter even tho it was a short 4 hours (6-10pm). we had dinner at poulet, a casual french restaurant that is friendly on the pockets. have been reading reviews on the place so i had to go check it out. we brought jerry along…
