Love Never Ends with Air Supply

 photo (2)

Early last month, hubs told me Air Supply was coming. I was a little hesitant (as usual) to leave the kids behind but then on second thought, it’s only natural we get a little time off, a little bit of ‘couple time’, away from the kids once in a while. Well, really, time out like this does help keep our sanity. So, hubs purchased the tickets and off we went for the concert last Monday, 15th Nov at Plenary Hall, KLCC Convention Centre.

Graham Russell, singer – songwrite. The man behind the many Air Supply hit songs!

The sang some of their hit songs such as All Out of Love, Making Love Out of Nothing at all, and many more. Graham Russell also sang one of their new songs entitled ’Just a little bit more’, a song about a soldier who was summoned to war, left behind his newly bride and never came home. He claimed this is a song based on true story. :(

In a nutshell, we had a fantabulous time. The crowd went roaring for more when the duo bid goodbye after merely an hour. They came back on stage and finally ended their concert with the song ‘Goodbye’. Simply too short! Too short!

Lil B has been practising for a week or so to perfect his independent stand. I have to agree, he’s pretty good at it now. He could now stand unsupported for about 10 seconds and he could slowly lower himself down instead of fall flat on his bum bum. I wonder if he’ll start walking sooner than his kor kor who took his first step at 11 months. We’ll see. :)

Cheeky Ryan. Purposely want to lean on Darren when asked them to pose for me.

Ryan’s Ultraman Collection

@ 4 years 6 months 4 weeks 1 day

These are part of Ryan’s Ultraman collection. He’s been an avid aficionado since he was 2 years old. He has about 50 Ultraman (exclude those tiny figurines he collected from twist balls, birthday cakes etc) and a couple of Bandai monsters, Ben 10 monsters, etc.

Recently we ordered more Bandai monsters and some limited edition Ultraman from Japan to add on his collection. That cost me a bomb but for the smile on his face, it’s all worth it. :) So far I have presented a few to him, especially when I have to go out for long hours whether it’s to run errands or work related matters, I still have like 10 in the box which I’m keeping for rainy days.

Monsters and a few sesat ower Rangers :P

 On a separate note, nwadays when we are out, Ryan developed this habit of buying something before we head home. Hubs said I am the culprit behind that bad habit. Mmm.. I guess I have to admit, to a certain extent. But then again, check out what Daddy bought for Ryan when we were at Gleneagles last Saturday. Daddy’s excuse was ‘Ryan is sick…’ Yeah.. Yeah…. Culprit No2. LOL. *wink*

Lil B is 9 months and Daddy’s birthday

@ 9 months 2 weeks 2 days

My michelin lil b is now 9 months +. Ironically on the day he turned 9 months, he cut his bottom lips because the air filter fell on him when he was trying to pull himself up. That’s how strong he is… Blood was oozing out and I panicked. I quickly applied cold compress and luckily the cut was not deep. The wound healed completely the very next day.

My lil b’s stats:

Weight: 10.4kg

Height: NA

HC: NA

Physical

Lil B is very mobile now. He can crawl and cruise like a pro. He could easily pull himself up from any position. When he’s stucked or couldn’t get up, he’ll get upset and start babbling. So cute.

He’s also braven up the courage to stand unsupported for a good few seconds. It’s evident he loves the attention showered on him when he perform his little stunt. I think my little B is gonna take his first step very very soon. *reminds me Ryan took his first step when he was 11 months +)

Not many days ago, we noticed he could actually wave bye bye when we say bye to him. Such a cute sight seeing how he wave his hands up and down up and down. 

Behavioural

I’m glad Lil B showed no signs of separation anxiety when being separated from me. He is fine being whisked away by anyone in the house; anyone whom he’s familiar with. This gives me a little break in between for me to do my own stuff, and a little bit of me time.

Teething

Just like his kor kor, Lil B is very advance when it comes to teething. At 9 months, he already has 8 teeth (four top, four bottom), cutting his 9th and 10th soon.

Feeding

 Lil B is a joy to feed. He is a true foodie. He eats everything we feed him. When he sees us eating, he wants his share. Unlike Ryan, lil B show no signs of food allergy therefor we have been pretty relaxed on the choices of food he can consume. I literally lose track of the type of food he had stomached in the last 2 months or so. Whenever we eat something, he would stare at us, babbles pitifully until we give him a taste of what we were eating. He’s truly the opposite of Ryan who is such a picky eater since young.

Sleeping Habit

Lil B.. oh Lil B… still pretty much a bad sleeper. There’re still many rooms for adjustment when it comes to his sleeping habit but then again, as a matter of fact I think I have not been strict enough when it comes adjusting his routine. Deep down, I kinda like the fact I could sleep in much later in the morning as opposed to waking up early to an early riser baby. (Lil B will turn in around 12, wakes up around 7am for a milk fix and go back to sleep until 10-11am. H-E-A-V-E-N :P).

Kor Kor and Didi

Ryan likes to give Darren nicknames. First it was Lil B and for a while now, he calls his Didi  ‘ Tickle Boy‘. He said lil B’s name is now Darren Tickle Boy.  The story behind  the name came about, he said, was because lil b likes to be tickled. Then lately, he said Tickle Boy is now Burpy Boy just because of a very loud burp Lil B let out the other day. So, “Darren Burpy Tickle Boy‘ my dear Lil B is now. :P

Ryan dotes on his Didi a lot. He likes to go near lil B. So he gets very upset these few days when he was refrain from getting near the Didi because of a nasty bug he caught (story in the next post). I feel really bad when Ryan asked ‘Mommy, why you always said No, I cannot go near Didi‘. Sigh… if only I have a choice.

I guess I shall end this post with a happy family pic. It was taken on hubs’ birthday. Ryan (who was still sick that day) insisted we should get Daddy an Ultraman cake. So (to please him) we went to a nearby bakery and got the cake with an Ultraman figurine. *Check out what’ was Lil B holding on his left hand*)

 For the record, this is the present I surprised hubs on his birthday….

Lil B , the little cruiser

@ 9 months 1 week 3 days

Lil b is now able to mobilise himself around the house (under supervision of course) pretty well. He could speed crawl, he could pull himself up and cruise, and on many occasion he would stand unsupported for a few seconds before he dropped on his bum and laughed over the stunt he had just performed.

We used to put him in the play pen when we need to have toilet break, etc. This is the face we get…

Monkey face

 

So we decided to dig out the play yard we bought last time and let him roam around a bigger space.
