Joel at 33 months, 10 October 2010.

Days & Months...


One, Two buckle my shoe...
(I heard Joel recited this last week, so he must have learnt it in school. Sometimes, he will also recite something in Mandarin but i cannot really figure out what he's saying! Haha!)

chinese songs

joel reading

The first time i saw Joel "speed reading" his flash cards, i got a shock! Yesterday, when he did it again, i quickly recorded it down with Daddy's camera on my table. ;)

Joel at 27 months

Joel rocks!

Sorry the video is so short (becoz Daddy Elvis had fumbled with my camera since his dont have battery...and changed some of my dont-know-what settings). When i pressed on the shutter to record a video, there's no timer or indication to show if it has started or ended. Actually, we do have some files recorded of us arguing over this! Haha! He is very blur and i'm very short-tempered. ;p

more words

It suddenly occurred to me that i havent been updating new words Joel has been saying. I guess once kids really start talking, it's hard to keep track. Or perhaps parents simply loses the kick out of hearing it - unlike for the first time. I still get very excited and happy when Joel uses new words. ;)

I've just uploaded the long-overdue videos of Joel's word game (at 21 months in Sep 2009). Now, he seldom force me to play the flashcards with him. He still likes to take them off the shelf everyday. But instead, he will put the whole pile on the coffee table and he reads them on his own. Sounding like a good kid, huh?! Not at all! Many a time, he loves throwing them on the floor and see them "splash" all over. It thrills him to bits! -.-lll

Joel hasnt really started talking yet, but he seemed to understand us better. He can also convey what he wants though simple singular words and gestures...and whining, of course.

joel misses daddy

On the weekend that Daddy is away in Australia...

Daddy arrived in Melbourne Shanghai time 9am and he called us. Joel always act coy with Daddy over the phone. The shoot starts tomorrow, so Daddy can go shop a little today (Hurry! The shops close really early, even on weekends).

joel's papa

On our flight into Singapore, Joel kept calling Papa, Papa, Papa... So sweet! ;)

first kiss

The night Joel & Joey lost their first kiss.
~ 9 Nov 2009, carpark 11:00pm

They actually kissed a number of times (upon request), a few times lips-to-lips (without Joel's pacifier). Joel even tiptoed coz Joey who is 1 month older, is slighty taller. Oooo~

word game

Joel surprised me again today. In the evening, he took down the stack of flashcards from the shelf, so i took 3 or 4 cards in my hands and asked him "Which is ...?". We went through a total of 3 sets of flashcards. Each time, he pointed to the CORRECT word! I was so happy! WOW! Even Ahyi was so amazed!

Later at night, Joel wanted me to play the Word Game with him again - and non-stop too! When i stopped for a short while to rest (coz we've finished the whole stack), he stomps his feet and pretends to cry! He's so funny! Hahaha...

From this video, it looks like he's crying coz Mama wanna test him. BUT it's the other way round! Mama wanna rest, but he wants me to continue. Haha! By the way, he's turning around in circles. He does that when he's both happy and sad.

hungry and angry

bath time

Here's another video.

Joel has been snorkeling during his bath time. I dont know if he's trying to wet his hair, his nose or his tongue... Haha!

* Towards the end of the video, he even tilt his head to look at himself in the mirror!!! So vain!!!

joel, gimme...

6/8

And here's the video of Joel reading.
18 months, 1 week

if you're happy

Joel likes this song.

1. Clap your hands
2. Stomp your feet (sometimes he does the action)
3. Shout hooray (he raise his hands)

He was a little camera shy. ;)


Last week, i happen to see this lovely girl, Nina, on YouTube and i'm addicted! She's really smart and learnt to speak Japanese AND English when she was very small. Check out her other videos. She's super cute! You'll love her!

While Joel's Daddy is at work, Joel misses him A LOT. He always goes to the picture frame (with Daddy & Mommy but he can only see Daddy), sits in front of it, and calls "Daddy" non-stop.

In this video, he calls Daddy even when he's playing.


I've also uploaded some videos in the older posts below:

Boogi boorgi boori borr bushy pussy boori boogi boor
Moyi boyi bo woowowo nai bo hmm booboo boo

And he does this "sound" all the time moving his tongue (inside)...
Gor-gei gor-gei gor-gei gor-gei...

I've uploaded a video of Joel reading!

Check out my Facebook video here:

A few friends are amazed. Keke... ;p

Usually he's better at this. Coz just before this, we recorded a video with Elvis' Canon...and its battery went flat halfway. So Joel wasnt concentrating the second time after his milk. And he was playing with the wet tissue too. Haha! ;p

Also, here's a website to learn ABCs!

Joel kept saying Wow~ at his play class when the teacher blew bubbles. When he did that, his mouth curled into a tiny pout! Cuteness~
