MERRY XMAS to all!!!

This is our 1st Xmas with R&R but it's definitely isn't the 1st time they are getting Xmas gifts. Last year Carol Yiyi had gotten Reyden a romper & hair clips for Reyes even though they weren't out yet. This year they had more. Here are some of them:



There are more clothes for both of them & hairclips for Reyes which I'm too lazy to bring out & take pictures of. Think both of them should grow up loving Xmas season with all the gifts & their fair share of roast turkey & beef. Not forgetting the choco log cake too.

My babies had grown up!!

FROM THIS ...


TO THIS ...

Reyes' fever

Reyes was down with fever for almost a week. It threw us into a week of restless days & sleepless nights. My life seemed to revolve around paracetamol, nurofen, thermometer, Max-Kool & etc ... Felt quite down during that few days. It was like a cycle starting with Reyes getting all cranky & clingy when her 1st bottom tooth erupted. Then Reyden's fever when his 1st bottom tooth erupted too. And now is back to Reyes' turn with her top tooth erupting. All within the last 2 months. Hopefully there'll be a break before Reyden's top tooth erupts. It isn't so much of the physical tiredness but the mental stress that I was having. Constantly worrying about their temperature, having to monitor it every single moment especially the nights when it'll goes up the fastest. I was watching their temperature the way people watches the stock market except that I want it to drop.
"Wah, you are so lucky to get twins leh!!" Heard this comment hundreds of times. But good things doesn't come easy, it comes with a price.

Well, at least there's something happy to mention. Someone had expressed an interest in Boy Boy and he does sound sincere enough. Just hope that everything goes well with Wed's viewing. Though I can't bear to let him go but if it's to a kind soul, I wouldn't mind.

Anyway hvn't been able to upload pixs cos of my problematic phone. Sent it in for repair today, can only collect next Tues so there won't be any pixs here in the meantime.

New furniture arrangement in the house

Everything had to be done in such a way to accomodate R&R. Gotten a smaller sofa in replacement for the current set in order to squeeze out space to put their 8pcs play yard. Oh ya, talking about the play yard, Kent feels that it's the 1st useful thing that I had gotten for them so far. Cos Reyden started to pull the sides & stand after 2 days in it. And though Reyes can't pull herself up yet, she's able to hold on to the panels and cruise around. That are quite major milestones indeed. No wonder Kent praises me for it.
Back to furniture, gotta shift the dining table so that they'll have space to move around in the walkers. It seems like they are playing 'bumper car' with their walkers now. And Kent wants to charge them 'season parking' for their coupe car & tricycle if I don't move them into the store soon enough. Guess he hasn't look into the store for a long time.

Milestone

Looking at the stuff in the health booklet. Seems like they are able to do quite abit of what are in there though Reyes' slower than Reyden.

- Your child can pick up a biscuit by bringing together any part of the thumb and any one finger.
YES but whether they are able to put into their mouth, that's a different story.

- Your child makes single sounds, consisting of a consonant and a vowel.
YES Reyden will go 'pa', 'ma', 'nan', 'da' & 'ga' & Reyes will only say 'pa', 'ma' & 'da'.

- Your child will imitates any sound after you.
NO

- Your child can stand holding on to a chair or table for more than 5 secs.
YES Reyden can also let go & stand on his own for more than 5 secs but Reyes needs to hold on to something for support.

- Your child can pull himself to a standing position by himself without help.
YES & NO Reyden can do that easily but Reyes will just shout for someone to carry her up.



Other than the normal milestones above, we caught Reyden moving 2 steps infront without any support at all. With this I think we can definitely expect Reyden to learn to walk faster than Reyes. The only thing that Reyes's faster is probably the number of teeth she has. Currently she has 6 (2 bottom & 4 top) teeths erupting & 1 bottom cutting whereas Reyden still got his 2 bottom teeth & 1 top without any traces of other teeth cutting.

R&R can crawl!!!

I'm proud to annouce that at 9mths old today, Reyes had started to crawl!! In fact Reyden had started to crawl last week but I missed his 1st crawl cos was too busy at work last week. Now I have 3 crawling 'animals' in the house, hahaha! Guess it's time to get the play yard for them.

兄妹情深

Brought them to playground for the 1st time this evening. Didn't manage to catch them on the camera cos too busy carrying them around the playground for play. But there was a little surprise for me as I pushed them to the playground in the double stroller. They were holdings hands all the way from home to the playground!! Quickly snap a shot of it when I saw it from the back.



So sweet ...
