Alex is enjoying his new wardrobe as well. I had to laugh at this "automatic sprinkler" onesie because in about 12 hours he showered me, had a diaper blowout, and pooped in his bathtub. We definitely have to carry extra clothes for this kid.
Ben had his first mechanical breakdown of his beloved cart, but he immediately turned it over and tried to fix the wheel himself. He's such a little engineer already.
My parents have done so well with the jetlag but they still get a little worn out by the end of the day! It could also have something to do with the heat here and possibly a 2-year old with limitless energy. Ben has been in high gear since the minute his grandparents arrived!
Alex has had no trouble finding someone to nap on. He loves to sleep on someone in the evenings and we've all enjoyed relaxing on the couch and watching the olympics at night so it's worked out well.
Ben and Grumpy have been having a great time in the pool together.
Sweet baby taking a nap on the couch....he's growing so fast! We did find out that it was a staph infection on his neck. No idea what may have caused it but it's cleared up now and healed well.
We tried out the new double stroller at the botanic garden. It's nice because Alex can stay in his carseat on one side while Ben sits on the other. I'm not sure Ben was too crazy about it but he stayed strapped in long enough for us to walk a bit.
We all enjoyed the beautiful orchids in the National Orchid Garden.
Ben insisted on walking the entire time in the orchid garden, hills and all, but he did take a few breaks.
A beautiful photo op with the grandparents.
Back at home Ben has new games he likes to play with both Grammy and Grumpy and he's very specific about who's allowed to play! I'm not included in most of these but I love seeing how much fun he's having.
We picked up food from the hawker stand one evening and Ben showed off his love for noodles...both wearing and eating them.
We all went to the zoo and Ben had a terrific time feeding the kangaroos. Last time he called them dogs but this time they were all kitties. Go figure...
This picture really made me laugh - Matt was telling Ben to look at the giraffes but Ben was busy checking out something on the ground. He's still a bit young for the zoo but he's enjoying it more each time we go.
Alex sleeping...again....he's been such a good boy while we're dragging him all over Singapore. As you can probably tell, this boy hasn't missed a meal! He's filling out so fast.
We went on the Singapore Flyer so my parents could get a bird's eye view of the city and we were lucky enough to get our own car on the huge ferris wheel. Ben got a little activity pack so he was pretty busy the whole time.
A nice shot looking towards downtown and the grandstands for the upcoming Formula 1 race.
And yes, Alex does wake up! Here's the little guy in his sling, although he's about to outgrow it. It's been really handy for carrying him around anywhere that's not very stroller friendly.
Such beautiful photos at the garden!!! I love the noodle explosion photo. Kangaroos, Kitties, Dogs...does it really make a difference? Alex is getting big!!! I am glad you had a great time with your parents.
