Lucas in ...Melbourne!

HiHi everybodeeee!!

This is Lucas n Mummy n Daddy saying hellllloooo from Oz!

Gong Gong, Po Po, Taiyi and Everyone at home, we miss u!!

We arrived yesterday morning and woweee, i'm proud to say my Lukey was a verrrrrrrrrry good boy on the flight! When the flight took off, we gave him his milk and he promptly went to sleep right after that! we put him in the bassinet for abt an hr but after that, he woke up kinda in shock but then we carried him to sleep again. He woke up a few times on and off but was generally a good boy! Once he woke up to play but then just sat in daddy's lap and drifted off to sleep again! He even slept right through the landing all the way until we got back to Uncle Nick's place. GOOOOD BOY!!! :)

It's pretty coooolllldd here cos the wind's really strong! But Lukey seems to love it! We were caught in a gust of strong wind this afternoon and I thought he was gonna scream or cry but...he started laughing! hahaha! We took more photos yesterday but hmm...clever mummy didn't bring the camera cable and Uncle Nicky doesnt have a XD card reader so we cant load those up yet. But here's a cute foto we took on Friday...hehe :)

and er...here's another photo of the family relaxing and enjoying our holiday ... hahah :)


Yesterday, we took a lonnnnnng drive to Great Ocean Road. It was raining and cold and well, not the best weather for a long drive. We loaded up the car with our biscuits and chips and baby food for our adventure and boy was it an adventure! We borrowed a GPS tracker from Uncle Nick's friend and at one point, we realised we had to make a U-turn. So Uncle Nicky drove up a path and drove into someone's muddy garden (we were all asking him why he had to do that!) and no prizes for guessing what happened next!! Yup, our rear wheeels got stuck in the mud!!! and jussssst like how we saw on TV, Daddy and Uncle Nicky ran ard the place trying to get planks and bricks and shovels etc. And Aunty Stella took the wheel and from inside the car, we kept telling the boys what they needed to do (we knew best of course since we've watched it on TV countless times!) but hahah, of course, the more we tried, the deeper we got stuck! So Uncle Nicky finally went back down to the road to wave down a 4X4 truck who came and chained us to his truck and literally dragged us out of the mud. hahahah! And for his efforts, the farmer guy who helped us got a pack of Tim Tams from our snack stash. Hahah. And all thru the +/- 1hr that we were stuck, Lukey was such a good boy in the car, sitting n eating his bread roll :) Nways, this is the only pic we have to remember the incident - of the donkey grazing along that muddy path.. prob was wondering what this carful of asian nuts were doing in the rain in his owner's garden. hahah :P

When we finally reached the 12 Apostles, Lukey was sleeping so we took turns to go out to the lookout point to see the Apostles (Uncle Nick and I counted only 8...hmmm...). It was drizzling and soooooo windy, we practically ran out to the lookout point, took a few shots and ran back! On the way driving back, of course, mummy had to get car sick cos it was 3 hrs of winding winding WINDING roads. No more road trips!!!

Lucas' Latest

Here are some long-awaited/winded updates

1. Lucas can: High Five, Low Five & Shake Hands. Very very cute especially since he opens his hands when he Fives and tilts his hands for a handshake.

2. Lucas LOVES anything electronic. Show him the red light from the Optical Mouse or the keyboard and he goes BERSERK !! He also loves his portable DVD player. He'll open & close the cover many many times.

It's difficult to stop him when he's got his sights on something.. which brings me to

3. He's got a SUPER grip ! When he's tightened his grip on an object, there's almost no way to get it out of his hand(s). And when we finally manage to do so, he'll get very upset with us.

4. He's got a short short fuse. Unfortunately, he's quite short-tempered and gets frustrated/mung zung easily. Especially when he can't get what he wants

5. But no worries about that.. his Popo & Gong Gong.. actually more often it's Gong Gong, gives his whatever he wants :P If he grows up being a spoilt kid (if he isn't already one) we all know whose fault it is.

6. Lucas crawls on his knees now.. quite steadily but when he needs to get to his destination quickly, he'll still opt for the "commando crawl".

7. He's a climber !! Lucas seems to have a natural ability to climb. Be it up the coffee table, onto the couch, up Gong Gong or even up the standing fan (!!) he'll raise his fat little legs up and away he goes !! If he doesn't succeed at the first or second or even the third go, he'll persist till he does. Gong Gong loves him for his persistance.

8. He loves his "mum mum". He can articulate this very clearly everytime he sees his food or his milk bottle. He says "mum mum" when he sees us eating.. and even says it when he sees us LAYING the table !!!!! He's so so clever !

9. He can identify the letter "A" from amongst a few other letters. He even knows to turn the flashcard around when we show him the "A" upside-down ! He can even distinguish "A" from "V", even when both letters are "pointed" the same way. So crever !

Ok.. so much for the advertisements.. Here are some pix:

This was before Mummy left for her Bali trip. I missed her so much then and cried for her every night. Luckily, she was only away from about 3 nights.

Like that where's Mummy going to sleep ?

One night I just decided to sleep this way:
