Broken bottle

Image
I broke my own AVENT bottle for the very first time... Mom has to throw it away since it is hazardous for me to utilise chipped or broken bottles.... whatever comes on my hand, I will throw if I do not need or want anymore.. Or probably I should say "when Im sick & tired of it"... bwahhahahaa

Run, Baby

Mom forgotten all about this video when am at Por-por's place. This is one of the moment Mom has captured. Initially, I did not dare to be left alone on the floor outside.. But since Mom started to train me, I had grown to be more courageous... From the way I walk, Mom feels that Im as though running, an impatient person... Whom did I actually take after? Mom & Dad aren't that impatient though.. Maybe Yee-Yee (mom's sister) probably huh...

Saliva

Am curious about everything (of myself)... I started to explore my own hair - hair on my head, hair on my Mom's hands... I started to look at my own fingers, my legs, my feet.. Someone even caught me sucking my own feet once~ Oh gosh. Uh-uh.. Old folks tend to say, baby sucking feet would mean Mommy gonna have #2 soon... Anyway, just a myth. Now, saliva has also became my friend too. I will blow bubble and make my whole mouth wet and drooling... I find it fun though, seeing bubbles popping out from my mouth. At this stage, exploration is the main idea.

Booster Seat

Image
This is a cheery side of me... Playful, cheeky, teaser and of course a rascal. Im in Daddy's car and I wondered when can I finally have a seat of my own in the car. Well over here in Singapore, it is compulsory for babies to be in their Child Car Seat at all times as long as they are in the car. Well, this is one of the expenses which all parents must pay... A good one will cost and last... this will be my upgraded booster in errrmmm, 2 yrs time.

Por-Por's Birthday

Image
Pre-celebration of Por-por's birthday since the actual day falls on a Monday. We proceed to her house first and then head to have some Shanghainese Food for lunch... I did not enjoy much on the food but instead I favoured por-por's company. From the way she treats me, I know she loves me very much. But perhaps its the distance between our 2 homes, such a regret she is not able to look after me... Well, life is never a bed of roses. There are other nice factors to look at when things are not meant to be so. During our meal, I wanted a pencil from Mom... I started to scribble so-to-speak. But of course, since Im still young with not much of the required strength, nothing appear on the piece of paper.. I tend to use my left hand and thereafter my right to hold a pen... sometimes can be vice versa... probably I can be like Mom, capability of both hands.

Trauma before bedtime

Image
This is exactly what is happening every night during bedtime. I will have a few "rounds" with Mom - to scream, bawl, throw temper - just because I want to be carried (to pat on my back, caress my head) by Mom before put down onto my bed. She did tried to go against me, and the result will be ~ see picture above for more information... Once my "requirement" is fulfilled, I will be pacified, back to my bed.. I will toss and turn, make myself comfortable.. and finally to my dreamland.

Dozing off - anywhere

Image
Mom was fascinated to see myself sleeping on the highchair after she had a walk with Dad after dinner. Talking about this, Dad has this habit of talking a walk after each dinner with Mom. Not sure if this is the other "romantic" side of him (uhmm, he's not romantic at all eh) or for easy digestion or perhaps a good exercise by walking (??)... But its still nice to see the both of them walk back together to the house door every night... how sweet...

8th Tooth!

Image
Wow, another tooth erupts again. Usually, most babies teeth come in pair... But mine will only grow 1 and few days the other companion will then appear. How weird. Since I had my 1st tooth, Mom has been using Baby First teeth Baby Toothpaste on my baby teeth. So far so good, Im still adapting well. Initially, since I was new to the rubber brush (see below blue brush) , I tend to bite it as Mom was brushing my teeth and gums... But now, I can recognise it and moment Mom insert into his finger, I will open my mouth BIG BIG for her... And I will bite her, if she is taking too long to brush that very few teeth of mine. Very soon, I will be upgrading to a toothbrush. Hopefully from there, I will love the toothbrush and not end up pulling it out hoh. Looking at the tooth chart; seems like molar will be the next runner-ups soon. Mom's gonna have a hard time cos teething is really a tough process for both babies, AND MOMS too.

IT-Savvy

Image
This is another side of me, playing with remote controls, hi-fi tuners, switching on tv, dvd player, SCV... etc. God! One fine day, all the electrical applicances in the house will go hay-wire. Mom has to ensure all these to be kept in "high areas" so that I cannot reach them. But I will still find means and ways to locate them. Nowadays, switches are my new play-toy. But of course, to them - its a no no. So I often get scolding and "beating" on my hands/fingers.. Guess this is part of growing up huh.

Stamp my bed

Image
After changing my new bedsheet (by Cheeky Bon Bon), I sat on my bed and look at Mommy. Mom specifically chose this brand of bedsheet for now as she finds their material real soft and comfy. She had another one for my playpen. Even after repetitous wash, the "furry thingy" does not appear on the sheet at all. Highly-recommended, folks! So, she took a pic and thought would be nice to stamp with a date! Urgghhh ~

Giant trolley

Image
As usual, we went Giant for groceries-stock up. Stroller - deserted. I was put on the trolley instead. Yeah, I enjoy this type of shopping, Mom! If Im being left on my stroller too long during Mom's shopping trip, I will bawl and want to be carried. Boy, Mom's lucky today as I only started to cry (for help) when we're at the cashier.

Addicted to it

Image
Am facing a serious addiction to my bolster. Today Mom left my bolster at home as we headed to UE Square today. Ahhh... of cos I made a hell lot of noise and simple not able to settle down fast. Anyway, even if I hold onto my bolster, it will ended up on the floor (outdoors). That explains why I had so many pieces of bolster covers/sheets at home. To the extent; I will put my nose onto it wherever it is, even if its on my wooden cot. Ehh... inheritance from Mom hoh!

On Top of the world

Image
Same day; First time am on Daddy's back since he hurt his back years back... I would say God has blessed him well enough to be fit again. Mom was of course dead worried about him since then. Even till now, she will not allow Dad to carry heavy stuffs and strenuous exercises/actions are definitely a no-no even though it had healed. Back to the post; I often spot kids sitting on their dear daddys' back. That - I do envy. After today, I need not anymore.

On my feet

Image
This is the first time Im on my feet outdoors. Since the day I started to roam (around the house only, duhh) with my pair of legs, I will be frightened if left outdoors. Ok, I wont move at all and will just stand there for a long time, staring at Mom. Well, after a session of coaxing and pacifying, I finally bucked up my courage to take the 1st step when I dropped Mom's ezlink card on the floor. It started with a bend; that leads to a squat and finally a step further upright.

7th Tooth

Image
Haa, Mom took "great" efforts to snap (almost all) my 7th tooth. Still growing... She is not contented wz the arrangement of my tooth eh, seems not straight enough though. But nevertheless, hopefully my adult teeth will be better! When Mom was young, Popo used to pay 100% attention on her teeth - so as to ensure all her teeth are straight and in place. She usually will check her teeth every few months during the growth of adult teeth. Yeah, Mom's gonna do the same for me next time... Dentist ~ will be my favourite hang-out next time.

Taka Baby Fair Aug08

Image
Yeap! There goes Mom again ~ flocked to the fair early in the morning! Guess as I grow older; m gonna be out of the league sooner or later. In any case; Mom still spent quite an amount this time, lesser than the past 2 years. Here are the grabs.

Happy Birthday! Singapore

Image
Well, today (since midnight) is our National Day! This is my 2nd National Day since last year. Mom had a hard time putting me to sleep though. As usual, I will bawl, scream and shout and eventually, I will stand up and stare hard at Mom. Motive to get her to carry me up. I refused to sleep even though am extremely tired... I need to play, joke and laugh with her before I finally settle down to sleep... And when I really get down to sleep, will then slowly doze off by myself by tossing, doing somersaults, ...etc. Over-active baby?

Take a Break

A brief clip - as I walk, I do take short breaks in between... sometimes I would lie on the floor, lie on my mat or even on my own sofa bed... which used to be my protector when I was sleeping in Sarong... Talk about sarong; I had quit Sarong since last month. No more Sarong for me and I prefer my own bed where I can toss and turn during my sleep.

Feign it, boy

Getting naughtier; so am getting more scoldings from Mommy... The moment her angry face shows; the next will be my sobbing face. Mom finds my reaction hilarious though. Watch the video, folks!

Comb

Image
I started to comb my hair (by myself), even though there isn't much hair for me to dwell on. This I would say, takes after Dad, whom basically does not have much hair. That explains why his hair is always kept short.. and okay, neat. Mine used to be soft but ever since the 2nd shave; it seems to be more "buShy" now. No wonder Mom does have a "familiar" feeling whenever she touches my hair.

Growing Up

Image
Day by day; am really growing up into a toddler now. From a tiny little foetus to a bawling baby.. and now a monster that really drives Mom on her nerves at times. Nevertheless; in her eyes, Im still her precious tiny baby. Well, I believe all Moms feel the same way too. Por-por always told Mom, "You maybe a Mom now, but you are still a little girl in my heart." Well, Mom finally understands the logic behind this "cheema-logy"...

Walkathon?

Yes, I began to walk faster nowadays... more like a clumsy littly monster roaming around the whole house. Honestly, I prefer to be on the floor; on my feet. But sometimes I would squat and rest when I get tired... Uhmm.. I even lie down on he floor for secs.. before I continue my "journey"... Mommy attempted - let me be on my feet when outdoors.. Am still a little terrified though. Another thing she needs to train me up is to allow her to hold my hand whenever Im walking (becos I like to shake her hand off...)

Throw diaper

As the title explains; I've picked up a "skill" recently - to pick up my soiled diaper and throw in the dustbin by myself. Well, I should've probably imitated Mom or even the maid. Anyway, rather hysterical and cute though. Mom is just fascinated the way I do it. Best part is, as I reached the dustbin just before I hit the bin, I will make sure the diaper is "aimed" correctly before I drop it in... Check out the vid dears...

New biscuit

Image
Mom bought some Japy biscuits from NTUC. Looks good and tastes great! Aunty Sammi, Aunty Helen & Aunty Sheryn - Must try hoh. After I finish 2 pieces; I pass my "empty bowl" to Mommy; to tell her I WANT MORE!
