Jayden taking solid food

Jayden is 7 months old now. He starts showing interest in food we are eating. It is time for solid food!



Jayden didn't show much interest when he first saw the wheat paste. We fed him the first teaspoon and that was his look. He didn't swallow it immediately but left some on his lips, tasting it slowly.

"Ee~~~ Daddy mummy, what's that??"
"Can I swallow it??"



Again, we fed him the second teaspoon. He checked on it to make sure it is something eatable.

"Again? Let me check first!"
"Ok... I like it! Yummy~~~"



He was waiting for the next teaspoon, next next teaspoon...

"Erm... this is something I like!"
"Give me more!"

10 years, my dear | 十年了，亲爱的

Time flies~
Today is our 10th anniversary - We have been together for 10 years...
Today is also our 2nd year of marriage...

I didn't realise about the amount of time we have been together until we talked about it one day. 10 years is not long if the person is someone you want to be with for life, I would say it is too short. But it means something, it is a milestone for a relationship!

Thank you, my dear!



时间过得很快，转眼已经十年。
2000年的今天，我们说好要在一起，一走就是十年。。。
2008年的今天，我们说好“我愿意”，携手走过了两年。。。

我并没有一天一天的计算我们在一起的时间有多长，偶然间和你聊起才发现原来我们在一起的日子不短。但我还是觉得十年太短了，因为我还想要有更多的时间和你相处，我希望这是一辈子的事。

谢谢你给我的这十年，我们的未来还有很多个十年。。。

Jayden fashion show time - CNY 2010

This is Jayden's first Chinese New Year, and it is his fashion show time!! As I promised in my previous blog, I have taken down his everyday new year look:


First day of CNY (大年初一), Jayden was wearing the 'China suits' I bought from Hangzhou. He was very excited and happy. He laughed all the way... like wishing everyone Happy Chinese New Year!


Here comes the Liverpool boy! Jo and I also wore our Liverpool jersey. We are Liverpool family!!!


Jayden in hop hip look!


This shirt isn't meant for CNY, it is an old shirt. I let him wear because Jo bought himself a similar one for this CNY. Jayden looks very handsome and smart, like father like son!


Lastly, our superboy!!! Our superboy just woke up not long ago when I took this picture of him.

This CNY is a special one, the first CNY we had with Jayden. We used to spend more time at friends' house. But we spent more time at home and with family this year, I think partly because we have Jayden and my sister-in-law has Ashlynn, who is few months older than Jayden. Both kids enjoying time at home, and so do the adults. I feel the togetherness becomes stronger...

我们家过新年啦~

今年是我们搬进新家的第一个新年。。。我们在新年前夕给她换上了带有新年气息的装饰。



比起别人家，我们家的新年布置显得简单许多。。。
门前挂上两颗大红的黄梨吊饰，寓意新的一年里旺旺来；
门框挂上两个写有“满”字的米斗吊饰，寓意新的一年里一切圆圆满满；
门边的墙上挂上“福”字，寓意新的一年福到家门，五福临门！



一进家门，进入眼帘的是大红的双鱼中国结吊饰，寓意年年有余，双双对对；
门的右边贴上写有“出入平安”的门联，寓意一家平平安安；
门的左边鞋架挂上两个中国结，眨眼看似富贵花，寓意新的一年又富又贵！



最后在客厅挂上十二生肖吊饰，寓意每一个生肖年都多福多寿！
我们也摆了一篮的柑和一些新年食品，欢迎大家来拜年，呵呵！

Jayden's CNY clothes

This is Jayden's first Chinese New Year! And these are some of the clothes he is going to wear!

It is Chinese New Year and I think it is good to have something very traditional for first day of CNY (大年初一). So I bought him a 'China suits' when I went to Hangzhou last year. It is made of silk - soft, cooling and comfortable. It is just nice for him and I think he will look cute it in.

Chinese always believe that red is auspicious and will bring luck. It is the best time to wear red during CNY. So, Liverpool romper is just nice! Jayden wore it once on Jo's birthday for photo taking, it was a bit loose for him that time. It will be nice fitting for him now.

This Superman romper was bought by Jim (Jo's brother) when Jayden was about 1 month old. It was too big for him at that time. Just like Liverpool romper, it will be nice fitting for Jayden now. Instead of becoming a Superman, Jayden will be a superboy this CNY, how cute and nice~

I will take down Jayden's look in these clothes during CNY and update to my blog later. It is Jayden fashion show time!!

Jayden crawling

Jayden starts crawling, in the age of 6 months! In fact, he had his first attempt when he was 5 months old.



He was very excited when we put him down and let him show his new ability. First, he placed both his hands nicely infront, then lifted up buttock, used his legs to push his body infront, turned around to rest. It was the first time I saw his entire crawling process. At that time, it didn't look like a normal crawl to me. But I find him slowly fine tuning his crawling skill and he can crawl more like us now... He still needs some time to fully pick up. And when he does that, he will be crawling everywhere... I can imagine how my life would be after that, ha!

Cheeky little fella

Jayden becomes more sensitive to camera. If I am lucky and fast enough, I may be able to catch some of his funny facial expressions. This is one of the funniest:



He likes to compress his lips and smile nowadays... looks very cheeky! He asks for things by making u-u-o-o sounds. He grabs and licks things that are close to him. And he starts crawling! Then I realise, Jayden is a 6 months old baby! How fast... time flies~~~
