taking pictures

The best shot of the day, but both not smiling at the camera, and not very sharp. Sigh.

Finally got Chelsey smiling but Chloe is not looking at the camera... again!

I have decided to make my own Christmas cards this year. Of coz the plan is to have Chloe and Chelsey in it. Hence I dressed them up in pretty dresses and got them to hold some Christmas tree ornaments. My attempt failed terribly, they were either not looking at the camera or just too engrossed playing with the bell or angel.

Looks like I need to try again this week. Haiz.

Bedtime reading

Reading the book of the week

Posing with the book: Bedtime Blessings for Girls

Having instilled reading to Chloe since she was a baby, she enjoys it very much. She also pretends to read very often, looking at pictures and making up along the way.

Here is a video of her reading and reciting in her own interpretation. Don't strain your ears, I too, can't decipher what she is talking about.

Supermarketing

Trolley ride @ Fairprice Finest

Now that Chelsey is more responsive, she fights to sit in the trolley with her sister. Hence we upgraded Chloe to sit in the "bigger" space. Thankfully Chloe doesn't complain when we pile up our shopping with her.

Little hamster

The hamster in action

Chelsey loves to keep food in her mouth, just like a hamster!

This hamster habit has been around for a couple of weeks now and she is taking longer to finish her food. Actually I'm guilty of this when I was little to0 (haha!) so I give her some time to do it but after a while when my patience runs thin, I'll start to poke her cheeks. Eventually, she will swallow the food.

Chloe is 25mths and Chelsey is 10mths!!

Striking a pose

Another failed attempt to show her 'Dracula' teeth

Time really flies. I remember this time round last year I was heavily pregnant with Chelsey, waddling around doing early Christmas shopping and hoping that she will be a Christmas baby, but it was not meant to be. My little baby is 10mths now and our Little Miss Naughty is 25mths!

Anyho, here are some pictures taken today before they had their morning bath.

Another trip to the zoo

Even Papa wanted to feed the goats!

Couple of weekends ago, we went to the zoo with Alexis. The girls had a blast and the highlight of this trip was feeding the goats at the kids area. Even Chelsey wanted to feed the goats!!

p/s: it is $2 per pail of goat food - leaves and vegetables

Playing dress up

Chelsey the Little Angel
Chloe the Fairy Stawberry - a costume she chose herself

One weekend, I decided to dress the girls up again. Maybe its because I feel kinda bad for not bring Chelsey along for the trick-0-treating couple of weeks ago, coz of the bad weather. If she would have gone, she would be a little Angel! Yup, wearing the same outfit Chloe wore last year. Super cute!!

Fish Eye!

Munching the fish eye

Digging for the fish eye

The fish eye - Chloe's favourite part of the fish. She always asks for it and sometimes 2 is just not enough for her and she will start digging for more even though we tell her that the fish only has 2 eyes!

By the way, don't ask me how she started to like this part of the fish, I personally do not know. I guess it just appealed to her.

A new school next year

Goodbye Zesty Spot...Hello Aunty Chris' school!

This will Chloe's school come 2010. We are very fortunate that one of our relatives own a little boutique, Montessori-styled school catered for children from 2-6 years old. There are only 12 students in the school and 3 teachers. Wonderful student teacher ratio and the kids get all the attention they need in learning phonics, counting, mathematics, Mandarin and everything else they are required to know before they start in Primary 1.

We have already started sending Chloe there on Tuesdays and Thursdays as a form trial for the last 2 months, before she starts going there from Monday to Friday, starting next Janurary. She seems to enjoy it there and even tries to show off to us the new Mandarin songs she learns in school. The best part of Chloe going to this school is that she will be under Aunty Chris' guidence and care. At the end of the day, we know that Chloe is good hands.

our little "Dracula"

To date, Chelsey has 4 little teeth. 2 on the top and 2 at the bottom. But the top teeth are not the centre ones but the ones at the side (Lateral Incisor). This makes her look like a little dracula! haha

I have been trying to take a picture of Chelsey's teeth...but always unsuccessful. It's difficult as I have to hold her down and open her mouth. In the end, I thought I shall just leave it to your imagination, but I will try again this weekend.

a-not-so-scary Halloween!!

Little Strawberry Chloe and Racing Car driver Constantine

Chloe celebrated Halloween again this year with her pals, Kait and Kim at their condo. Decked up as a little 'devilish' strawberry, she went trick-o-treating with the Pink Princess Kaitlyn and the Bouncing Pumpkin Kimberly. The girls had a ball of a time collecting all the candy, except for a few scary costumes that kinda freaked the little girls out.

Earlier in the day, Chloe was also in the same costume when she went to school. I decided to drop her off early so that I could take some pictures of her and her classmates. But when we got there only 1 other boy was in 'costume'. Nothing scary about him either....he was a Race Car Driver! and he has one of the most distinctives name, Constantine! Yup, just like movie
