Jack woke up early and spritely today, sitting on my face and pelting his Dad with his hand, almost to say, wake up, wake up, it's the last day of the CNY holiday.

We dressed, picked up our friend Van and drove to Pris and Jacky (superchef)'s house for lunch. What a delightful spread awaited us! The girls grabbed Jack from my arms and hubby and I enjoyed a most scrumptous meal topped only by Jacky's tiramisu.

Jack took a nap at around 1.40pm and woke at 2.15pm when I snuck out of the room to ask his Dad to take over. He was cheery after his short sleep and proceeded to crawl after Sparky (yes, he is the dog in the Starhub ad!).

Earlier he'd been introduced to the gentle dog and I reminded him to pet him gently, which he did. Sparky took a nap under the table and Jack followed him under to touch his tail and pat his bottom.

Mama (4 months pregnant) Pris's friend brought her 2 pretty daughters along and Jack received a special visit from the 5 year old. :) The girls joked that he was starting really young!

A run to my brother's place after where we feasted on Eclairs and goodies from Bengawan Solo. Jack, his 4 year-old cousin, and Ryan, the 2 year-old son of my brother's buddy, played happily in the playroom while us Moms chatted.

Finally Jack had his second nap from 7-8pm while we watched Lemony Snicket. It was rather interesting. I'll have to Google the story to find out why the heck Olaf was after the 3 kids.

This evening Jack and I played Peekaboo in various forms, much to his delight, and he also spent some quality time with his plush friends. I attached his wrist buddy (whom he has taken to ripping off his wrist) Chicky to the crib post. He was very amused and tried liberating her.

It must have been a more tiring day today (although he napped better today than yesterday lending credence to the fact that babies nap better during the day sleep better at night) as he fussed a little for some nursing and fell right to bed.
