Recently Den-den has taken a liking to his big brother's child seat (the one in dark brown) over his own (in cream), and insists on moving over to sit in it once little bun is being dropped off.

(Photos were taken while we were waiting for Mark to return to the car after he signs little bun in.) 

Den-den getting a ride from his god-sister! Both had a great time dashing around the compound of mark's family home in Malaysia. The boys usually enjoy the wide expanse of land to run free whenever we go back to visit, and getting spoiled by Mark's aunties as they dote on them and allow them to commit all kinds of 'crimes'. Normally I just try to close one eye and inhale deeply.

Starting them young in karoke.. not that I am any good at it. Little bun went as far as a few tentative 'hello, hellos' while Den-den was only interested in swinging the mic around like a weapon and looking mighty pleased with himself while he was at it.

The boys' father (whose name shall not be mentioned) subsequently wrestled the mic from them and had a jolly good time singing his heart out. No photos shall be posted to save him (and me) the embarrassment. 

My Den-den boy is looking all grown up **wistful sigh**. His favorite words are 'kor kor' (big brother) and 'Papa'. 'Mama' is a long way down at the bottom of the list (and I always thought I am the numero uno in his life..).

He loves following his big brother around and imitating him, unfortunately big brother doesn't really fancy this little brother's attention. They have also started fighting for the same toy.. wooohooo.. fun times ahead!

A belated Mother's Day post. My present from Mark and the boys.  I just got the ring back after sending it to be engraved, so now I have got 'Kyran' on the yellow gold and 'Ayden' on the rose gold. I wanted to get 'Mark' engraved on the diamond band but they didn't want to do it cos they said the process may 'scratch the diamonds'. Too bad.

We had a little celebration at home to indulge little bun in his little request (yes, he is still asking us for cake and making us sing 'Happy Birthday', complete with candle and party hats for all). 

They are the loves of my life, and they are the reason I find meaning in life. Everyone has their own reason for waking up in the morning, and my reason are my boys!

Such a heartwarming moment.. glad I was holding my phone and managed to capture it! Looking at the photo gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Really, this is all that matters, isn't it? I love my boys and my boys love each other.

Little Bun #2 is 14 Months Old!!

Darling Den-den is 13 months old!! He is now walking steadily without any support and has a grand total of 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 below). There's not much progress in the hair department, unfortunately. Whenever he perspires (which is quite often), all his fine little hair will stick onto his head like a badly gelled hairdo!

He also knows how to wave goodbye and gives 'flying kisses' when he is in the mood. Above all, he loves following his big brother around the house and trying his best to get involved in whatever his brother is doing/ playing. The 2 boys are beginning to fight over toys/ their favorite chair/standing spot/ who gets through the door first, etc. Fun. 

One thing that still hasn't changed - He is still momma's #1 sidekick, following behind me everywhere I go, and if his short little legs catches up with me, he will hug my leg just like how a koala hugs a.. ermmmm.. tree trunk.

Mark and I have confirmed that Den-den's favorite color is purple for sure (think Barney) as he picks up ONLY the purple balls from  the big pile of balls in the playhouse. Each and every single time. This evening, I showed him 2 polo shirts, one in a nice bright blue and another in purple. Guess which one he picked!

I love you, sweet Ayden.. you are such a sweetheart and growing up too quickly.
