Dylan 14 months+

Can’t believe my boy is more than 14 months now, time really flies.

At 14 months he can walk really well, he knows how to clap his hands properly. Every time you say ‘good boy’ he will start clapping his hands accompanied by a smile on his face.

He knows how to wave, if you say ‘good night’ or ‘bye bye’. 

He likes to drag your hands around landing them on things he wants or sometimes expects you to do something with your hands on the things he puts them on.

He eats alot more now, but he still doesn’t drink a lot. If you are eating, he will always come round asking for some.

His favourite food is still scramble eggs / curtard. He also enjoys munching on biscuits and raisins.

His favourite pass time is still bathing, he now also enjoys standing by the bath tub looking at the water filling up his basin.

He understands the word ‘no’ but sometimes chooses to ignore it.

He would run to the gate when me or Kevin comes home and expects a cuddle ASAP.

 He also likes to walk into the kitchen or play with his laundry basket whenever given the chance to escape from the living room. 

If he sees you tidying up his toys, he would come running taking everything out again.

He doesn’t like to be left alone, he would shout at you while standing by the gate asking for attention.

He still sleeps in the middle of the bed and ask for milk at night.

He’s such a blessing to us… our precious boy Dylan Chiu.

Baking in the New Year!

I found a few lemons lying around in the fridge, so decided to google ‘lemon’ for ideas on how to get rid of them. After searching the net for recipes I finally decided on baking a lemon tart. Reason, I also had some ready made pastry and lots of eggs.

Turns out things didn’t go as smoothly as expected. To start, the pastry was mouldy (it wasn’t even expired). So I had to make one from scratch. Because I didn’t want it too buttery I substituted some with milk whom I directed Kevin to pour while I mix. Well he poured too much and it turned into a cake consistency, so instead of a pastry base I had to compromise with a dry cake base.

When it was time to pour the lemon mixture, I realised I forgot to seal the tin and it started leaking in the oven!! Had to pour the watery lemon mixture out again, seal the tin, clean the oven and surrounding area and then bake.

Turns out

not the prettiest, but was not a disaster.Tasted good too!

Merry Christmas !!!(Better late than never…)

Ok let me explain….This was supposed to be posted on Christmas day. I was looking through my dashboard today and found this post still under drafts!!! Sorry guys I genuinely wanted to wish everyone a

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! (Anyway just imagine it’s christmas day)

We had a blast this year, it’s been such a blessed year!! Today we woke up late, opened some presents and the four of us (including Aunty Ignis) had breakfast which consisted of chocolates and chocolate biscuits. We then made our way to Christmas service. Thats my 2 boys looking all smart ready for church.

After church I fried some noodles with some char siu I made earlier in the week.

 

After lunch, I continued to spend time in the kitchen cooking, preparing some dinner for friends who will be coming over a bit later. Here’s some pictures I loaded on christmas day and today.

Thank you Lord!

Every night before I go to bed I will say a little prayer to the Lord and in that prayer I will always pray for God to protect my little one and always keep him safe.

Well today he was playing with his dad in the study room. I walked in the room gave him a cuddle then ran downstairs to check on my roast pork. While I was cooking I could hear him giggling thinking he must be playing with his dad. Since I’ve got a second spare I walked out the kitchen to have a peek…

Looking out of the kitchen door all I could see was Dylan ALONE on the staircase nearly reaching the bottom few steps. I could not believe my eyes, I ran to the steps to carry him and yelled for Kevin. The little one even managed a grin as I took him into my arms. Turns out Kevin thought that I was looking after him as he followed me out of the room when I was going to the kitchen.

It was that moment that I thought of my simple prayer every night, the Lord have been answering my prayers. I couldn’t help but thank Him for looking after my little one, I honestly think my little boy would have rolled down the stairs crying if not hurting himself….  Instead He guided him down the stairs amusing him along the way… Amen.
