What They Call Us...

Sometime in May I wrote that they can pronounce Mommy (sounding like "MaMi") here.

Since then they've progressed onto a whole host of words. By now they recognise people by age and address them accordingly. For babies their age they would call them "baby". For older children they would call them "cheche" or "korkor". Adults pretty much fall into the "aunty" and "uncle" category, and "kongkong" for seniors. While this is fairly accurate they have a tendency to call even people in their 20s "uncle" and "aunty", which I'm sure could be annoying, hehe...

Within the family, paternal grandpa is called "YeYe", my brother is "SokSok", and maternal grandpa is "KongKong". The funny one is when they refer to grandma as "MiMa". They can actually pronounce "Grandma" but I think they just use "MiMa" as it's easier to call.

Mommy's Birthday...

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!...

We had a barbecue on wifey's birthday with family and friends, just a small do. By the time we got to the cake cutting, JL & JY were quite sleepy already... Plus it wasn't me taking the pics, so they were quite bewildered by the photographer.

It was wonderful night, and wifey had a great time. Plus we hadn't had a barbecue for such a long time it felt good to be messing about with the grill... haha!

Thanks to all who came to join us!

Babies at Bedtime...

See me wink...

Mommy is here...

The girls are usually put to bed at 8pm, and we'll wake them up at 11pm or so for their last feed and change of diaper.

During that time they're usually quite active and happy as they've had what amounts to a long nap, and had their supper, what's not to be happy about?...
The routine would be:
1. Feed them milk
2. Carry them onto our bed and change diaper
3. Let them wander around on our (comparatively) huge bed
4. Carry them back to the cot

They would do and say a lot while playing on our bed, as it's like a big playpen to them, with the large pillows and all. Here are some of those antics I managed to capture.

Oh yes, since a while back they already know how to point to, and say some parts of their bodies like eye, ear, nose, mouth, teeth, hair, head, foot, tummy, chest, shoulder, chin... anything I missed, wifey?
