My cheeky almost 3 year old

Calista: Lauren, this is you bag!

Automatically, I correct her ..

Me: Calista, it's "your" bag .. (Making sure I put emphasis on the word "your")

Calista: My bag? (her eyes were round - cos she thought I was giving her the said bag)

Me: No, it's not "my" bag .. It's "your" bag not "you" bag.

Calista: my bag? It's my bag?

Ok, I gave up. Fine, let her say "you" then. Its not hurting anyone.

She's very cheeky and now that she's more articulate, she has all sorts of things to say. She tells me she's happy, she tells me who beats her, she tells me who to scold or cane. Lol!

Calista: Mummy, Elly (she can't say "Emily" yet) beat me. Scold Elly. (sometimes she says "cane"). I don't have to cane immediately just agree to do it. Haha!

Look at the cheeky face :p

My fav photos of Charlotte at the moment

Charlotte is a wonderful baby. Yes, she is .. She's very lovable, happy and is a confident baby. And she's curious and loves crawling around exploring. I caught her staring at the TV the other day .. She had stood up and was leaning against the sofa for support and I managed to catch these series of shots .. She was YAWNING! probably bored to tears with Dora on TV. haha!

Collage

And here is a photo of Emily on all of her past birthdays. The baby pic is of her at 3 months old. Mushroom head - she turned 1, then not-smiling - she turned 2, I liked the one where she's 3 and last year, we didn't want the cake design to crack (cos it's white chocolate) so we left out the candles till the last minute.

Emily is 5!

Emily turned 5 yesterday! She was really happy she got to wear her Princess Ariel dress that Daddy lugged back from the Disney store in the States. Lol. It's very pretty btw.

She had chosen her cake design last week so was very excited to finally see it.

Here are some pics I took.

Quiet Saturday at home

Hubby is busy busy busy coaching Claudia in preparation for her PSLE next week so all of us are stuck at home till the torture, erm, exams are over.

The girls did their homework and Calista and Charlotte played the afternoon away.

Recent pics

Yea, I can't wait for iPhone 5!! The resolution of my pics on the 3GS sucks man. And it's hard to take clear shots the minute there's movement. *sigh* especially with an active baby. She's always moving!!

So, I end up w good iPhone pics of Charlotte SLEEPING. lol. It's better w the older girls cos they respond to my command of "stop moving!" hahaha!

Another week begins ..

And my baby is bored to tears with all the driving around I do. Lol.
Man, I can't wait for the school holidays !!

Charlotte is 8 months old and can crawl pretty proficiently. She likes to pull herself up to stand on the furniture and is starting to cruise ie try to walk while holding onto something. So she hates being chucked into her baby walker preferring to crawl freely around. Much to our dismay. Cos then someone's gotta watch her. Lol. Closely.

My baby is 8 months old today!

Charlotte is 8 months old! How time flies! She is growing up healthy and happy.

She's still having a running nose though the poor baby.

Feeling better

The little girl is much better after a weekend of antibiotics and medication. And sleeping better too. Thank goodness. Her congested nose kept her waking up every hour on Thursday night and I was a ZOMBIE the whole of Friday. Lol.

She still has a running nose but it's so much better now! Yeah for drugs !!

Unwell :(

Charlotte had a fever on Thursday and Friday. It was on and off and she seemed the same only her appetite decreased a bit. She also developed this awful runny nose. Poor baby! Took her to the pediatrician on Saturday. She's much better now. See the pics? She was quite miserable and only wanted to be held and cuddled by me. it was quite rough on Thursday night. Her nose was badly congested and she kept waking up. Man, I was a zombie the whole of Friday. lol :p

More pics of my sweetie, Charlotte


Look at her face .. she was just sitting there watching me fiddle with my big ass DSLR .. and she had that look on her face .. a look that said, "Again?! Photos of me again?"



She is 7.5 months now. Started standing and trying to cruise awhile back already. She is such a joy to be with.




My cheeky monkey, Calista, INSISTED on holding Charlotte. Lol. Charlotte is actually too big for her to hold on her lap .. haha!
