Dearest Aunty Adelyn,
.

I turned O.N.E last Saturday and *boy-oh-boy* was it such an amazing day!!

.
The minute I woke up, even before having to change out of my dirty diaper, I got to play with presents!

Daddy gave me a V-Tech Dashboard. In hopes I fulfill his long begone dream of becoming an F1 driver.

Hsu Ah Yi and David Jiu Jiu gave me the Fisher Price Rodeo Bouncing Zebra! Woot!

*Boy-oh-Boy* so many toys!! So little time!! I quickly changed out of my dirty diaper into my birthday suit and before anyone could stop me ..

.......................................................................................

...................................................................

.......................................................

........................................

............................

..................

..........

...

Yeeeeeeeee - harrrrrr!!! Gidddeee-up!!

.
.
After playing F1-Driver and Rodeo Cowboy with Daddy we went over to PoPo & Kungs house where I got a super-duper V-Tech CAR ... *toot-toot*

with little help from PoPo,
.
I was on it and ready to go!!
.
.
Later in the day, we all made our way to Yeh-Yeh and Nai-Nai's house for my VERY FIRST birthday party!

Jie Jie Alexa gave me a KISS just as soon as I got there!
.
and high up on the table! My birthday cake! I had to get Jie Jie Amanda to lift me to see. It was a 4-tier cupcake cake!

Everyone then gathered around and started singing "Happy Birthday"

Daddy then helped me make a wish and blow out my candle

Aunty Adelyn - I had such a blast that day ... it was a day filled with toys, cake and ice-cream!! I am such a lucky baby!

...by-the way.. thats my latest trick .. *my toothy grin*

don't you think I got it from Daddy? ......

Well, as Mommy says ... all good things have to come to an end .. and about time too! I was seriously pooped!!

aaaaahhhhhh ..... my first birthday, my first taste of cake, my first taste of ice-cream .... Aunty Ade .. i REALLY can't wait for Christmas!! wooOOOOO-ho00000000!!!

Love Jared

Project Bukit Tinggi - F.A.I.L.E.D

2009-09-23T17:34:00.000-07:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,
.

It was a long weekend for Mommy and Daddy last week and because I've been such a good boy, they decided to take me on a mini-break to ... BUKIT TINGGI. Boy was I so excited ..... at first!

The morning started with me having a nitemare and woke Mommy up at 5am! You can only imagine ... it went downhill all the way.

BUKIT TINGGI - Mommy said she has never seen such a large concentration of Ah Beng's and Ah Lian's ever at one place at one time - THAT was Bukit Tinggi (sorry no pictures, Mommy said it would be rude to take a picture of that girl who wore a Spice Girl outfit .. and no, she wasn't a performer, she was a tourist)

First, we went to see the Donkeys - which smelled like when I make poopie - which Mommy said that summed up the description of the whole place - P.O.O

So since we started the trip with P.O.O ...things could only get better.

The swans were nice, although you would probably have to squint to see them in this badly taken picture.

The blacks ducks standing on one leg were funny ..

Things got slightly better in the evening when we took the "Mister-Mad-Man's" shuttle to the Japanese Garden. Man - The ride there was my first roller coaster ride ever! Mommy said she could feel her lunch coming up.

Anyways, the Japanese Garden was nice .. purely because Daddy and Mommy like green a whole lot. It didn't do a whole lot for me though as I couldn't go swimming with the koi.

and then ... drumroll ..... The best part of the whole evening was when ............................................

....................................................

....................................

........................

..............

.....

aunty desiree and aunty bonnie came to visit .... woootttt!!!

aaahhh .. what a perfect ending to a day that started out with P.O.O. Mommy was secretly please because she managed to con Aunty Desiree and Aunty Bonnie to make the trip up .. NOTI mOMMY!!

How was your weekend Aunty Adelyn ... I would like to know.

Love Jared

Dearest Aunty Ade,

This weekend Mummy bought me my very first pet, Mr Lion. Mommy says I have to take Mr Lion on frequent walks!

I think I did Mummy proud, Aunty Ade ... i took Mr. Lion for a walk everywhere!

I was having so much fun talking and singing with Mr. Lion that I accidentally made poopie in my diaper. Mummy was not at all pleased.

I ended up having to take a time out here. :(

Mummy's too harsh on me .. what do you think Aunty Ade .. I want to know.

Love Jared

2009-07-26T05:19:00.000-07:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

Okay ... man!... was it a packed few weekends!! Firsly, I got to wear a FULL suit on Saturday nite for Mommy and Daddy's big event. I must say, I looked very smart indeed ... buttttt ... sorry no photos of the nite to post yet .. stay tuned though!

Secondly, I went on my first VACATION!! All the cousins and I tripsy-ed our way to Kuantan and boy-oh-boy was it a FUN three days!

See!! I can feed myself, Aunty Ade!

Kor Kor Ryan, Daddy and me

.

Testing the pool : I liked it so Mommy said

"All system's GO!"

Not one of my proudest moments : me naked in the pool as my

swim suit went AWOL

.
.

"Kids-who-love-swimming R us"

It was also Yeh Yeh's birthday last weekend and we had a party for him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YEH YEH!

Can u guess what just happened??

a. I kissed Mummy and got lipstick all over

b. I kissed Daddy and I got lipstick all over

c. I kissed Mr. Cherry and lipstick all over

As for habits, I've just picked up KISSING!!

Oh ... and I have to give a shout out to Amanda Jie Jie ... she's started to read my blog now.

Hello Amanda Jie Jie

Love Jared

2009-07-11T05:23:00.000-07:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

Sorry for the lack of posts. Mommy has been super lazy in updating my progress. Naughty Mommy!!

Anyways, this weekend was Ryan Ge Ge's birthday so Min Ku Ku rounded all the cousins and had a party at JUNGLE GYM!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!

Also, my other cousins Sophia and Nicholas came back from the States to visit too. Aunty Adelyn, Sophie Jie Jie is the prettiest Jie Jie I've ever seen. Just lookit!!

Hello Sophia Jie Jie!!

Ok .. updates on my progress. I've been growing taller ... Look! I'm almost as tall as my Yeh Yeh now!!

Mommy has also been letting me eat adult food. Ive tasted rice, chicken, fish and all sorts of veggies and FRUITS!!! Strawberries are my favourite thus far. JARED LOVES STRAWBERRIES

I've also been having REALLY itchy gums of late. My teeth are sprouting like weeds, as Mommy puts it, so I've been having the urge to bite(more so than usual) everything I can get my hands onto. Mummy's ipod holder is the yummiest by far.

My latest trick now involves me opening cupboards and drawers of all sorts looking for FOOD. It's so exciting Aunty Ade as you never know what I'll be able to find in them. It's a trick that's been putting Mommy and Daddy on the edge in fear of injuring my little fingers.

Aunty Adelyn, Mommy says she's going to be missing you a lot this weekend and she wishes that you were here.

Love Jared.

Baby Alexandra

2009-06-15T19:19:00.000-07:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

Some pictures of my cutie baby cousin Alexandra .. don't you think she's such a chubby cutie-pie!!! Grow, Baby Alex ... GROW!! .. and then we can share play together .. *loves*

I'm Back and Roseola Free!

2009-06-14T05:45:00.000-07:00

Dearest Aunties and Uncle Alex,
....

Thanks for all your well wishes. I'm happy to report that after one month of on and off fever .. I'M BACK and better than ever!! It's about time as Mommy was starting to look like a panda bear! Hahahhaahaha!

....

Apparently after 7 visits of on and off fever, Dr V found that I had a visit from the naughty Roseolla virus. Man-oh-man, I'm glad Mr. Roseolla has gone off to find someone new. Visits to the Doctors were wearing both me and Daddy thin. Daddy and I have now developed the ability to snooze in the waiting lounge.

Ok .. development updates!

My hands and eyes have decided to be friends and started working together splendidly ... JUST LOOKIT!

................

...........................

by the way, that halo above my head is supposedly my scholar crown. Mommy was so pleased I manage to master that trick that she crowned me baby scholar of the day!

Also, below pictures of Daddy's prevailing efforts to put me everywhere he's no supposed to ....

...... in the laundry basket

and he even brought me to Yeh-Yeh and Nai Nai's in a cooler bag!

TA-DAH!!

... OH OH OH!!! My cousins Ryan and Aidan came back all the way from the US

Hello Ryan and Aidan!

Aunty Ade, Mommy insists I post these pictures of me .. she says they're her favourite and that you'll love it too.

Lastly, after 1 month of illness, all the late night awakenings and all the grump-pot-pot-ness .. this is Daddy's sentiment of me ...

... what could he possibly mean?? I want to know.

Love Jared.

FEVER

2009-06-07T19:32:00.000-07:00

Dear Aunties and Uncle Alex,

Sorry for the lack of updates .. I've been down with a fever for the past month! Mommy and Daddy have been worried sick. Mommy says if my fever still prevails tomorrow I would have to go for a blood-test. I'm scared and I think Mommy is freaking out.

Will update more later

Love Jared

Making A Stand

2009-05-04T06:38:00.000-07:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

I've chucked my alter ego Toi Toi in my diaper and now I'm back as regular baby Jared just to write you a letter.
.

These past few weeks has given me a whole new view! I can STAND!! and now that I can stand .. I can't waste any time sitting. Poor Mommy and Daddy ... pottering around the house with me whilst I precariously crawl and climb all over the place.

Mommy also promised pictures of my teeth. I have 5 now and 1 more on the way. BEWARE!! I bark and now I B-I-T-E! .... Mommy mostly, she's yummy.

Also, Ku Po came all the way from Brisbane for 3 whole weeks!! I love Ku Po ... she plays "Making Funny Sounds" with me.

Lastly, it was Daddy's first time taking care of me alone last week and this was the result ...

Daddy tried bathing me in the sink. Silly Daddy, don't you agree Aunty Ade? I want to know.

Love Jared

Dearest Aunty Ade,

Photos galore due to the 2 week absence. First of all, I went swimming for the first time last weekend!!
... weary at first ..

..................................

then slightly better with Daddy there....
....

Then WOOO HOOOO ... I was a pro!!

and lookie here Aunty Ade .. NO FLOAT!!

... Daddy says paddle ... paddle ... paddle

....on the steps after I failed miserably on the paddling

This weekend also saw me riding my first bike.

I even gave Jie Jie Alexa a ride!!

Sorry for not writing more Aunty Ade. It's just been a rather tiring week for Mommy. Mommy says work's been killing and I've not been helping with her sleep time. Teething sucks Aunty Ade. I have a total of 5 now. Mommy says she'll post pictures of my teeth the next week.

Oh, Daddy says I've been so fat and naughty that he's been itching to make bak kut teh ...

.... hhhmmmm .... I wonder what he means. Do you have a clue Aunty Ade? I want to know.

Love Jared.

2009-03-30T05:35:00.000-07:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

.

Sorry I haven't written in sooooooooo long. Mommy's camera got sick for a while, so no pictures... and last week ... I became a Ge Ge to beautiful baby Alexandra Wong Yi! All the pictures Mommy took of Baby Alexandra didn't do her justice, so Mommy stole a picture off David Jiu Jiu's website.

Welcome into the world Baby Alexandra

Okay, updates on my stats.... I went to see Dr. V on Saturday and I've grown Aunty Adelyn.

Lenght : 68cm ; Weight : 8.3kgs

I also haven't been feeling on top of the world of late ... I've been so fussy and fidgety the whole week. I can't help it Aunty Adelyn. I've been teething and teething hurts .. Daddy says I've been living up to my name ...

Grump-Pot-Pot ..revisited ...

On the milest0ne front ... I've started feeding myself.... CooOOoooKiiEEeeee!!

...............

.....

I can also tripod now with much ease
.....

Mommy also says I've caught the stranger anxiety bug ..
.
with Mommy during the nite-times
.
....

and Daddy in the mornings ....
..
.

All in all I've been quite a handful these past two weeks .. Poor Mommy and Daddy one might say .....

.....

BuuuUUUUtttTtttt .....I say .....

Welcome to Parenthood!! Hah!

What do you say Aunty Adelyn? I want to know.

Love Jared.

Yummy Yummy Yummy I Got Love in my Tummy

2009-03-09T06:41:00.000-07:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

This weekend I reached yet another BIG milestone ... I STARTED ON SOLIDS ... I had my first teaspoon of rice cereal!

I must say though, rice cereal is YUCKS! I can't wait to eat some of the delicious fruits Mommy is letting me lick now. Mummy says if I'm a good boy and take to my yucky cereals for another two week, she'll let me have them then. Sigh, the sacrifices a baby has to make for some love in his tummy.

See ... no mess .. nothing!! Mommy says I'm such a good baby. Do you think I'm a good baby Aunty Adelyn? I want to know.

Love Jared.

PS: Mommy apologises for the lack of pictures. Her camera fell ill and is getting treated.
P/PS: Also, please help contribute to my education fund by clicking on any advert you see. Mommy needs all the help she can get ... whahahahahhahah

Droolingly Delicious

2009-02-22T05:38:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

How was your weekend?? My weekend was spent constipated. To remedy the constipation, I was sent to Klinik Po-Po & Kung-Kung. Dr. Po-Po spent the whole afternoon making funny sounds ... and voila, I'm no longer constipated. I Po-Po.
.

This weekend, Uncle Alex finally came to visit all the way from Singapore.

He brought me a new friend, Mr Bear.

Mr. Bear and I had a bonding session ie: I put him in my mouth

he tasted weird .. yuck.... .. but I love him anyways. Thank you Uncle Alex!

Aunty Ade, Mommy bought me a new superfantabolistic toy ... the Evenflo Exersaucer!!

It's simply the best toy in the entire universe. I spent the whole weekend "bonding" with it.

I bonded with the little fishies ...

I bonded with the orange bumble bee ....

.. and an extra long bonding session with the green butterly. Yes, he was especially very yummy.

... sigh ... everything tastes so yummy of late Aunty Adelyn .. Mommy says it's because I'm getting "solid-ready". What do you think Aunty Ade? I want to know.

Love Jared

P/S : Aunty Imn ... I'M WAAAAAIIIIIITTTTIIIINNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!! Oh-when-oh-when are you coming to visit??

My Peeping Two

2009-02-14T07:04:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

How was your weekend?? Mommy says I have been rather naughty of late .. especially when it comes to bedtime. I have been refusing to go to sleep alone and would rather fall asleep on Mommy's shoulder. Is that bad Aunty Ade?? I want to know.
.
.
Oh Mommy managed to get pictures of my two peep-pers ... It wasn't easy I must say .. I really made Mommy work for it.

What are you giving me in return??

......

Say pretty pleeeeeaaaseee
.....

Studio Shots

2009-02-10T22:44:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

Sorry for the long absense. Mommy has been rather busy at work coupled with so many holidays, hence the long silence.

In any case .... I GOT MY STUDIO SHOTS BACK!!! What do you think Aunty Ade? I want to know.

Pose : Farway and Forlorn

This is me in the midst of toppling over

I think I've outgrown the cradle carry.

Nailed the 'bo-chap' look to the core .. no offense, Daddy!!

One of the many hand-in-mouth shots

Most of my shots were of my with my hand stuck in my mouth. I don't know why, Aunty Ade. Any and everything just tastes so yummy of late.

Also, latest update .... Everyone's so excited because ...... my two bottom teeth are starting to show. I don't know what all the fuss is but Daddy says it just means I get to eat Kentucky Fried Chicken with him soon.

I'll update more over the weekend Aunty Ade and Mommy promises she'll try and get a picture of my peeping two-front-teeth!

Love Jared.

Jared The Superstar ... Pooped

2009-01-11T01:15:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

Oh me oh my .. am I pooped!! Has been a good week in terms of milestones.

Firstly ... I managed to roll over!! BIG WHOOOOPEEE!! Unfortunately Mommy has aged and her reflexes has slowed somewhat that it never made it on film.

Secondly, Sze Mai Mai came to visit. Sze Mai Mai says I'm HUGE!! But Mommy thinks Sze Mai Mai just needs to grow so that I won't look so big next to her. HEHEHHEHEHEH...

Grow!, Sze Mai Mai, Grow!

I had my first professional photoshoot, today. We woke up really early in the morning and made our way to Studio 807 where David Chiu Chiu, Hsu Ah Yi and Mr. Photographer were waiting.

I was so in awe and everything was so exciting .....

..that I forgot to smile.

Mommy has also been trying to get me "sit ready". She's been putting me in the corner of every couch we come across .. all in hope that I'll learn to tripod ...

.... and today, I DID IT!!

....unassisted at first......

....after 30 seconds ..... whobbly .........

......and finally .......

.................

T-I-M-B-E-R!!

It's been a big week, Aunty Ade .. how was yours?? I want to know.

Love Jared.

PS : Mommy says I'm two handfuls so the Joy Luck Club has gone on a vacation.

Kiss Kiss 2009!

2009-01-04T04:40:00.000-08:00

HAPPY 2009 AUNTIES!!

Love Jared, Mummy and Daddy.

P.S : Aunty Ade .. Hsu Ah Yi and David Chiu Chiu are taking me to a photoshoot next week. It's lights, camera, ACTION, for real!! WOO HOO!! I'm so excited, I hope I won't cry. WHAHAHAHHAHA! ( Mummy says, with that, she hopes she's answered your previous question on a certain someone )

Santa's A Jolly Good Fellow

2008-12-30T04:06:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

Boy-oh-boy was my first Xmas a B-L-A-S-T! Uncle Santa came in the night and brought me lots and lots of gifts!! Just LOOK IT!!

That's me! In my big boy chair! Don't I look all grown up now? I love my Bumbo!

Looking at the amount of photos Mummy takes of me in my Bumbo, I'm wondering whether Mummy enjoys it even more than I do. Hsu Ah Yi says I look like a girl in those pictures. Do I Aunty Ade? I want to know.

Also, David Chiu Chiu finally gave us the pictures he took of me during my 2nd month. He called the shoot "Portraits of Jared" .. woo hoo .. doesn't that make me sound like a superstar??

Don't you think Uncle David is such a professional photographer?? You can definitely tell ...

This is Uncle David ...

......

..........

...............

.........

....

and this is Daddy ...

WAHAHAHHAAHAAAHHAH ....

How was your Xmas Aunty Ade, I want to know.

Love Jared

Mission Accomplished

2008-12-19T04:37:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Ade,

I saw the pictures Uncle Ker Wei took of the both of you in flying to rose bay. Mummy says she's impressed with Uncle Ker Wei and keeps hinting to Daddy. However, I think Daddy has gone deaf in both ears.

I'm reaching my 3 month mark, Aunty Adelyn, and let me update you on all the new tricks I've learnt so far.

1. When I'm on my tummy, I can hold my head up and turn it both ways. Great way for a change in scenery. Waking up to a white wall is getting really boring.

2. I can put on multiple expressions within a span of a few seconds.

3. I can produce endless amount of drool. This somehow drives Mummy nuts and she keeps trying to stop it ... to no avail, obviously.

I drool standing up .... ..

...........I drool sitting down .....

............I drool lying sideways ......

.. and

I even drool at Mommy, that fox my mummy, ........

(who's taking this picture, fyi ) ...

Aaaahhhh ... only, almost, 3 months and already I've accomplished so much.

Are you proud of me Aunty Adelyn?? I want to know

Love Jared

Happy Birthday Aunties, Love Superboy

2008-12-07T18:36:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

Mommy told me that it was your birthday this week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTY ADE!

Mommy told me to to apologise for Daddy's poor video taking skills... can't blame the old guy, my Daddy, Mommy says he wasn't born with a great deal of artistic skills ... hahahhahahha

Also, Xiao Ku turned 29 yesterday ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY XIAO KU!

Aunty Ade, I'm growing really fast too. Daddy said that I will be growing out of my current car seat soon, so Daddy got me a New ... Stylish .. Sleek .. Oh-me-oh-my .. MAXI COSI TOBI!! Daddy said it was really expensive but I was worth it ... *oooh love, my daddy!!*

Since I've been growing big and fast, Mommy decided that I would be 'swimming-pool-ready' soon. So la-dee-da, down to the mall she went and got me my very first swim-suit.

As much as I love taking my baths, I'm a bit apprehensive about the pool .. can you tell Aunty Ade?? I hope Daddy, with his rickety old-hands, doesn't let go of me .. *shiver*

Oh .. Daddy and I have been playing a new game of late .. It's called JARED SUPERBOY!! .. Daddy introduced this game eversince Mommy suggested getting me a teddy bear. I think the game is a way to infuse some masculinity in me since Daddy says Mommy is obviously trying to sissify me.

All in all, it was a good weekend. I Mommy and Daddy. What did you do over the weekend, Aunty Ade? I want to know.

Love Jared

2 Jabs = Fever!

2008-11-29T21:22:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

I am running a fever.

Mommy and Daddy took me to see Doctor V on Friday for my 2 month check-up. Doc V measured me, weighed me and poked me twice on each thigh. It hurt so much. I tried to be as brave as I could as Daddy held me down and Mommy looked away. I managed to only cry just a teeny-weeny bit. Daddy was so proud of me. After everything, I could tell Doctor V was so impresed with me. She said I was a thriving baby! Whoop Dee Doo Dah!
Weight : 3.08kg - 5.9kg

Length : 48cm - 58cm

On Saturday, my body started getting all hot. Daddy took my temperature - 38.2degC. I was running a fever. Can't say it's too bad. I get unlimited amount of attention and lots of hugs and kisses. To make me feel better, Mommy and Daddy finally put up our Christmas tree. I can't wait for Santa to bring me my presents.

Aunty Adelyn, do you and Uncle Ker Wei have your Xmas tree up yet? I want to know.

Love Jared

A Scratched Face and A New Friend

2008-11-22T17:12:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

It was the weekend again and we played hide and go-seek yesterday. Mommy hid me and Daddy had to look for me ... can you spot me?

Aunty Ade, I've also made a new friend. His name is Patrick. Daddy says Ta-Ku brought him over when I was born. Mommy says he's my cot angel as he watches over me when I sleep. Funny, I only just noticed him today. Mommy says it's because I can see in colour now.

Also, Mommy says Uncle Ker Wei can stop calling me a grump pot now. Uncle Ker Wei, my Mommy sends this as proof that I can be a happy camper, at times, ... erm .. I think she meant only at bath times.

Oh .. and I finally found out why Mommy was so insistant on me wearing mittens. Mommy left me and my mittenless dangerous hands for a few minutes and came back to this .. Mommy was mortified but Daddy said it made me a man.

Aunty Ade, does a scratch really make me a man? I want to know.

Love Jared

The Day I Found My Hand

2008-11-19T04:01:00.000-08:00

Dear Aunty Imminy,

Mommy said that you've been asking for a letter from me :) I hope Aunty Adelyn won't miss me too much.

Aunty Imn, I've grown .. I found my hand today. Mommy was so excited she captured it on camera.

As you can see, I'm still wearing mittens. Mommy says it's too dangerous to let my hands roam free. I think it's got to do with the day Mommy woke up to my scratched face, and this

Aunty Imn, why are my hands dangerous?? I want to know.

Love Jared

Double-Oh Seven at 7 Weeks

2008-11-15T03:17:00.000-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn,

Mister Sunshine was hiding all Saturday. Uncle Cloud brought lotsa rain and breeze which made it nice and snug in bed ... in Mommy and Daddy's bed, mind you. I spent the whole day in-doors with Mommy and Daddy. Daddy's getting real good in feeding me now, Mommy trained. He can now see through my fake falling asleep tricks and has learnt the art of burping me to "wake" me up to finish the bottle.

Buuuurrrrppp!

Aunty Ade, I think I might become a secret agent when I grow up. Mommy and Daddy took me out today on a mision to spy on my neighbours. Daddy said I did real well as I was a quiet as a mouse. Mommy says I'm a regular James Bond. What do you think?

Jared 007 Lee

On Sunday, Aunty Lili came to see me, all the way from UK.

Hello Aunty LiLi!

and the rest of the afternoon was spent at Nai Nai & Yeh Yeh's house. I love Nai Nai's as it always feels like night-time there which makes it ever so comfy for a long nap in my bouncy-bouncy.

Daddy has also given me a new nickname ... Fei-Toi-Toi ... I think it could be due to this

Do I really look like one, Aunty Adelyn? I want to know.

Love Jared.

The Start of A New Pain

2008-11-14T05:52:00.001-08:00

Dearest Aunty Adelyn

Ho Hum .. Dum Dee Dee Dum .. Happy Birthday to meeee! I'm 7 weeks old now and man-oh-man have I been a package for Mommy and Daddy. Congratulations Mommy and Daddy, they survived what many call the peak fussy period and I can only say it should get better from next week onwards. I know Mommy started out calling me her lil pain in the butt .. but Uncle Alex is quick to warn her about the Sigmund Freud's self-fufilling prophecy, so the name calling has somewhat stopped.

Highlight of the week ... I STARTED SUCKING MY THUMB! Ok .. so I've managed to do it successfully three times only ... Mommy got so excited the first time .. she whipped out her camera and emailed my sucking my thumb to a whole load of people .. how embarassing!! I immediately took my thumb out ... but drats ... that quick fox, my Mommy.

Yesterday Mommy and Daddy tried to kick the habit of me sleeping in my bouncy-bouncy. Woe is me! Back to boring ole cot .. no more bouncy-bouncy .. no more vibration .. hence, I, pain in the butt extraordinaire, did not make it easy for mommy and daddy .. i cried, screamed, wailed, kicked and dramatized the whole "putting-me-into-the-cot" affair, equipped with flailing hands. Of course, mommy and daddy came equipped with ear guards .. so my tears were all in vain .. Am plotting for tomorrow ... What do you think I should do Aunty Ade??

Till then, might as well enjoy the cot my nai-nai gave me ...

Love Jared
