isn’t life so wonderfully simple when you are a baby?
he smiles, he babble and he smiles and giggles….
he explores everything with curiosity, and of course everything its new and exciting…
I can’t think of a better way to spend my day than capturing the simple moments in his young life…

oh and he is finally sitting up…i think he finally finds his center and can sit up a bit longer now, although still a bit wobbly at times LOL

Btw, he is still attempting to fly off somewhere…LOL this is still his fave position when he is on tummy time…

i have been thinking that my boy is seriously attempting to fly when he can’t even walk yet LOL
this is his favorite position during tummy time…both hands on his side flapping furiously as well as kicking up his legs.

he is so cheeky and inquisitive yet made of pure sweetness…i just can’t get enough of him.

im sure if he has a super power he would’ve taken off flying by now…look at him! lol

but of course, its not safe flying without a protective gear…just as well mummy made his hat, it fits like a helmet! lol

another one of his flying pose - one hand on hips and one hand in front…”hmm, wonder why i haven’t taken off yet?” hahaha

“what’s that mummy? what do you mean i can’t fly??” LOL

lately its all about being able to reach his toes when lying on his back and he is munching on everything within reach - that includes his own toes! LOL

yup that’s right peeps, my baby boy turns 7 months old today…so of course i had to post some new pics as he changes constantly.
Its so true what people say to me about the difference between raising boys and girls…their personality is so different (but that was to be expected)
and i can already tell that he is going to be a handful when he reach toddler-hood, whereas his sister was so laid back (i think we strike it lucky with her lol)

Logan reaches his milestones differently from Claudia, at 7 months he still cannot sit unsupported yet whereas Claudia sat up at 5 months
and was already bum shuffling at 7 months. However Logan rolls over earlier at 4 months whereas Claudia didn’t reach that milestone until
she was 7 months old.

Logan loves to squeals and babble, he is so vocal at expressing his needs, whereas Claudia was so laid back she was happy to just chill
and wait until we do things we need to do for her. Logan has just started to notice his toes now and his favorite position while on the floor
was lifting his legs up and reaching up to his toes. He also have 2 teeth and starting to really enjoy having his solids.

So here is my boy at 7 months old…

just wanted to share some recent pics of my cute snow bunny…
i had to bundle him up in the warmest and snuggliest jacket he has seeing how cold it was yesterday…the wind chill made
the temperature dipped to 1 degree and its suppose to be Spring! yikes! i think winter still trying to snuck-in every now and then…

anyway, i knew i had to wrap him up nice and warm when i have to take him outside, specially since he is still recovering from bronchitis
i have to be extra careful not to expose him to the cold weather…not that i can help it seeing that i have to drop off and pick up his sister
from school everyday, so regardless what the weather is like i have to bring him out with me. But dont worry i also made sure the pram cover
is on to shield him from the cold & the wind, so i think he was nice and toasty inside the pram when i took him out for a walk.

Anyway so I took some quick snaps of him in his cute bunny jacket….here is my cute snow bunny (coz it looks like he was ready to brace the snow LOL)

we had a Plunket appointment this morning and now that my baby boy is 6 months old the nurse recommended that we introduce solid food.
as usual the very first solid that they suggested was rice cereal…so we decided to give him his first solid lunch today.

well let me tell you one thing….introducing solid food is one messy business!
we had gooey cereal everywhere because he keeps wanting to grab the spoon…
so in the end i just gave it to him and he seemed to really enjoy playing and eating at the same time…LOL

im sure there will be plenty more messy business for us in the future…
however just to see his face and his reaction the first time he tasted the rice cereal was priceless!
sure glad i got it on camera….

my baby is 6 months old….
wow, i still can’t believe its been six months since we brought him home from the hospital…that went by really fast!
he is growing beautifully and hitting his milestones as he should be….he can roll onto his tummy and back really well now,
in fact he just rolls around all over the living room floor everyday LOL

we are soo gonna be in big trouble when he starts crawling…
nothing in our tiny living room will be safe because everything will be within his reach…*gulp*
ohh btw, we just spotted his first tooth peeking out and seeing from the way he is chewing his hands and drooling like crazy,
im sure it wont be long before his other chompers will show up too…

he is talking up a storm eventho we have no idea what he is going on about….LOL
he loves his big sister, no matter what mood he is in (even when he is crying) he always smiles and grin when he sees his sister…
we love his smiley face, his laughter, his squeal, and everything about him….just love LOVE love him to bits!

I can’t even describe the feeling when we look into his crib/cot in the morning and seeing his beaming smile when he sees us….
its just the most amazing feeling and it makes everything worth while. He really is a delight and he makes our family complete…

Today i took my lil guy for his 5 months vaccination….i still can’t believe its been 5 months, wow time goes so fast!
He was a trooper and only cried for a short spell when the vaccine was being injected in and then he was all happy again after its over.
To be honest i think it harder on me to see that huge needle going into both his chunky thighs! LOL

Anyway, i decided to take more pics of him today…i just love his blue vest i got from Jakarta and his white fluffy bunny hat,
so i just had to take some pics with him wearing them. So here is my little tiger bunny…

in his yellow bumbo chair….used to belong to his big sister and now being handed over to him.

and he is always chewing on his hands now because he is teething, we can see a teeny bit of his chomper showing thru his gum.

Today i got invited to a baby shower as well as a farewell morning tea for a friend of mine from work.
We had a lovely catch-up….we talk a lot, catching up with gossips and lots of yummy food….what could be better than that?

Its always good when i get to go out and break out of my boring daily routine….and i really enjoyed catching up with my friends from work.

For this baby shower I put together goodies basket for my dear friend, it has a selection of stuff i have collected for her
ever since i found out she was pregnant. However, along with the goodies i want to give her something a bit more special and personal…
so i put together one small thing specially for her. I know you would probably guess that i made her a baby hat or a beanie right?
Well not this time…i will probably knit a hat for her baby boy when he is here,
but this time i put together a home made baby free range towels in the egg cartoon.

I got the idea when i saw a similar thing in a gift shop a while back….it was from a company called “babycupcakes” from Australia,
I have always wanted to try making it coz it looks so simple and very cute….so i decided to give it a go a couple of days ago.
I also included her official due date and her name in the ’special instructions” note inside the egg cartoon….
this was not included in the original design of baby eggs by “babycupcakes”, i just thought adding them in will be more personalized for her.

Btw, I’m a bit bummed that i forgot to take pics of the whole goodies that i prepared for her…
i finished wrapping the whole thing pretty late last night and i didn’t get a chance to take pics of it this morning
as i was in a hurry to go so that i’ll make it to the baby shower on time LOL
But luckily i remembered to take some pictures of the home made gift i made for her, so here it is…

Lets be honest…Im not much of a blogger seeing that i’m such a slack in updating mine.
Well, for the last couple of weeks i have been looking thru my archive folders of my daughter’s photos
in my attempt to catch up on doing her yearly photo book and i realised how much i have been slacking off…
im feeling very guilty that i have not been documenting my kids as much as i used to….and to be honest feeling a little rusty too,
so i made a vow to get off my tush and start doing something about it.

What im going to do is im going to start updating my blog again and hopefully will be posting more regularly.
My aim is to take daily photos of our everyday life, whether it be my kids, things around the house, any macro shot (which i love taking pics of),
or anything that takes my fancy. The kids will hopefully take center stage, but in the event that they are too grumpy or not in the mood
i will just take pics of something else.

So i took my camera out of the camera bag this morning and it is now sitting on my bench table within reach in my home.
This should give me no excuse whatsoever to not shoot and start taking pics again.
I will try my best to take photos daily, but if something comes up that makes me not able to do it everyday
then im not gonna sweat it and just keep going.

Im starting this morning and today i had a specific thing in mind…since we just moved house we had to re-decorate and re-arrange the wall,
and we have this one picture of my daughter that i took when i just started taking up photography
and my aim was to re-create a similar photo with my baby boy.

These are the pics i took today and i will be printing the second one to be put up on our wall alongside my daughter’s photo

this is the original photo of my daughter that i took 5 years ago when i just started photography…taken with Sony Point and Shoot camera
just before i decided to invest in my first Nikon DSLR.
