In bed with Daddy part I- Sweet Lleyton
Lleyton woke up "early" today...well it's almost 8am. Leanne and Daddy have both awaken too. Lleyton is his sweet self, proclaiming his love for Daddy and Mummy. Good boy!
Lleyton, the Cameraman
Lleyton has decided to take things into his own hands. He reached for the camera and started snapping some photos of his own. Here are some of his better shots. :)

Leanne's first swim
Now that Leanne is 6 months old, she is all ready to try out the activities that she is permitted to do at that age, which include starting on cereals and of course swimming!
In fact, Mummy and Daddy had planned for that day a few weeks back by getting Lleyton a new swimsuit so that Leanne can take over her brother's swimwear.
So they changed, and took some shots of themselves in their swimming outfits...
and finally, a dip in the pool!

It's been a long break...
Hi all, it has been a long break from blogging. Daddy has been busy with many things; in essence trying to generate more certainty and predictability for the family over an uncertain period. Mummy has been extremely (is there an adjective that denotes more than extreme?) busy with work. Lleyton has been busy with his cars (both big and small), whilst Leanne has been busy growing up...
Now will be a good time to recollect the happenings over the past two months, and timely to mark Leanne's 6-month birthday.
Yes, Leanne is already 6 months old. She is now able to flip around on her own, unaided. This morning, she just rolled off Daddy & Mummy's bed! Thankfully, the bed is a platform bed, so the height of her fall is a mere 4 inches, to the carpet. She was naturally startled and cried sharply from the shock. Lleyton, who was playing with Leanne at that moment was shocked, and expressed deep guilt and remorse to the point that he asked Daddy if he could say 'sorry' to his meimei. Daddy agreed and Lleyton apologised. :)
Leanne has not been in the greatest health lately, for she gets the running nose rather frequently. That aside, she is bubbly and a joy to behold. Leanne is also beginning to have some initial strength for cruising around. Although, she couldn't sit upright properly yet, she could hold her own weight standing for a short while, and she really likes to do that.
Lleyton is developing a craze about his cars, ranging from his step2 car-on-foot, to the tiny hotwheels....his interest has also spilled over to his 'choo-choo' (Thomas & friends) trains. Earlier this week, Lleyton surprised Mummy by saying that he will want to sleep with his cars on his bed. Noting that Lleyton sleeps on a cot-sized mattress, there isn't much room to house all the cars and trains on the bed....but he managed to do so. Lleyton will even go to the extent of toppling the cars, to indicate that they are all sleeping with him!
Comparing the current Leanne with Lleyton two years back, Leanne seems less 'talkative' and is more refined when crying, and gives Daddy the feeling that she is more independent than Lleyton, who is more of people-oriented (aka a ring-leader). Leanne also likes to be carried around more than Lleyton, who was more than happy with being fed, and given toys to play with.
That said, both Leanne and Lleyton are extremely friendly with strangers, smiley and likes to scratch themselves on the face!
Daddy hopes all readers will be pleased that the duo are developing well, and will endeavour to contribute more frequently to the blog in the ensuing months. :)

Chinese New Year 2010!
It's Chinese New Year 2010! Daddy & Mummy will have their annual family photo shoot...this year, Leanne is now part of the party. Here's the family portrait for 2010 CNY!
Lleyton Swinging Again, Leanne too!
Just as Lleyton had the chance to, Leanne was given her first chance at playing with the Swing when she's three months old!
Watch her swing...
Watch her swing...
Lleyton had lots of fun on the swing too, and he certainly loved it a great deal. This was at a swing near home, as Daddy has decided to bring Lleyton and Leanne to try out this swing. The impetus was a uptick in the surrounding's cleanliness, as the the nearby park's construction is now complete, thus the area is now much cleaner.
Home with the Kids
Lately, Mummy have been rather busy at work, especially after her return to work after Maternity leave. In contrast, Daddy has a lot more time with the kids, now that he has completed his MBA. Hence, there are many days where Daddy is home with Leanne and Lleyton. The pictures here are taken on a Friday evening.
The following Morning, Mummy was again at work, and Daddy brought the kids out to play...literally, play! They shopped around Vivocity, but all (not most, but literally all) the shops are closed. So Daddy brought Lleyton and Leanne to the play area on level two, where Lleyton can have some fun. The video below depicts Lleyton's zeal in playing with the slide.
Ready...Let's Go!!!
Hiking Resumed (with Leanne also)
Daddy had decided that Leanne is old enough to start going on hikes. Hence, the family resumed their hiking...this time with both Leanne and Lleyton.
Here is a shot of Daddy with Lleyton and Leanne, not too long after starting on the hike. The route started from the back gate round to SINDA, down Lavender Street, through King George Road to reach Lavender MRT. Using the underway, the family crossed over to the ICA building, before making their way to the food market beside SouthBank. The entire leg took close to an hour.
Breakfast was taken at the food market, before the return leg through the new PA HQ and Jalan Besar Stadium. Enroute back, Daddy bought Lleyton a waffle, which Lleyton proudly carried all the way back. He was so gallant in protecting his waffle that he held onto the bag, even when he fell and hurt his finger. Brave boy!
This hike is one of several that was taken recently, including another along Jalan Besar to have Tim Sum, and a third to have Chicken Rice (Porridge) along Balestier's Loy Kee.
Chinese New Year is round the corner. Hopefully, the hiking can resume after the festivities... :)
