6 month today

Time flies, I suppose.. When I checked the calendar this morning, I barely noticed that Rafael turns 6 months -young today! half a year! Amidst all the bottle washing and laundry, I guess dates and times are often forgotten. Looking at him now, I can hardly believe he was once weighed less than 2 kgs. Now he is a hefty 7-something kgs, and my arms are begging me to put him down in his cot for as long as possible. *LOL*


At six months he is now nibbling on his fingers like they're some kind of rare delicacy that needs to be thoroughly enjoyed. Oh, and anything else we give to him he'd put into his mouth now. Dribbles, smiles and laughter would follow suit. Sometimes when we play with him, he laughs so hard that he starts hiccuping, even then he can't stop laughing.. it's just so funny ^_^



He especially loves playing 'roller-coaster', where I  prop him up on my lap and swing on a rocking chair as fast as the chair allows (I hope this won't shorten my rocking chair's lifespan!!), jumping jelly-beans, flying high above our shoulders and peek-a-boos. Notice I make up my own terms here? :P I really can't wait to bring him out to jet-ski, ride a roller-coaster, or ride a horse. But I guess I gotta wait for a long, long time still.. heh, my other half freaked out each time I bring this topic up.

Well, I'm looking forward to his turning 1 year old, at least then I can prepare a birthday party and bake a cake for him. That's plenty of adrenaline rush for now.. heheheh

Breezy afternoon outing

Today we're going out (YAY!) with my mother-in law to walk around South Perth. It's a crisp Autumn air with plenty of warm sunshine to make the day perfect. After brunch, we headed to Mill Point and brought out the stroller. There were lots of people around today, everyone wants a piece of warm sunshine apparently. And the weather is just great for barbecue too..


We saw ducks, black swans and an unknown breed of bird (at least unknown to me) by the riverside. The water seemed quite inviting, clear and bluish, though I'm sure it is freezing cold. Good thing the birds have fur, eh? 


Most importantly, Rafael seemed to enjoy it too.. He was looking around quite curiously, squinting when the sun rays struck his vision. He looks quite chubby now, I feel he might be gaining some weight. On the other hand, I still need to lose much of this unwanted weight gain off me otherwise I will run out of clothes very soon, LOL.

After the outing, we had lunch at Yuki Japanese restaurant in Willetton. What a nice relaxing way to enjoy the weekend (Rafael slept very well afterwards. Outings tire him faster... I'll be going out more!!)
