Notice what is my favourite sleeping pattern?

A Banana & Toothpicks

I love to eat bananas. Eating them using toothpicks is something new and interesting to me. But Mommy, I think I still prefer them not cut up into pieces like this... (Mommy: Okay, darling. As you wish... next time.)

Bolster And I

Dancing with my mini bolster. We are inseparable! :)

The Three Musketeers

We are the 3 musketeers in Mah-mah's new kitchen, which was just completed yesterday I think...






2 hours ago...

It's not easy to get me to sit where I am supposed to...

Complaining

Here's a video of me sighing and complaining. Where did I learn to sigh like that? From Mommy!! Now she realised that she has been sighing too much... but too late, I am already imitating her saying "Haiya..." which is usually followed by a sound effect "Tssk"...

Why is Mommy taking so long to change me?!

Playing Outside

How I Sayang Mommy

Saying "A" to "H"

Since the last video was corrupted, Mommy has been trying very hard to get me to say all the letters of the alphabet again. However, I have not been very cooperative. Well, it takes a lot of effort to say from "A" to "Z", you know. Anyway, today I repeated after Mommy the letters from "A" to "H" only, because I wanted to enjoy my cookie first. Maybe next time, okay...

Use a Coaster, Please!

For the past few days, whenever Mommy put a bowl or a cup on the coffee table, I would quickly fish out a coaster from the drawer and insisted that she put the bowl or cup on it. I would also put my own water bottle on the coaster. She was taken aback at first but quickly praised me after that...

The Ellen Dance

Mommy was watching a talk show "Ellen Degeneras" when I started to dance in tune to it. Watch my feet! I can tap dance!

Good thing I did not step on that switch plug lying pointed up there on the floor. Mommy, please be more careful in future okay. She was using it earlier to pull me around on a ride...

No Mountain High Enough

No table is too high for me to reach my chuit-chuit (pacifier)! Yes, I pulled the chair out and climbed on it right under Mommy's nose. She nearly had a heart attack when she realised what I did.

Too bad, Mommy has not been successful in weaning me off the pacifier yet...

Amen

I said 'Amen' for the first time, after the prayers at the end of our Christian meetings yesterday. Mommy and Daddy were delighted!

Knock, Knock

I found a milk powder scoop and had fun knocking it (like a hammer) everywhere!

On And Off

I like to turn switches on and off. Every night before we go to bed, I insist on helping Daddy switch off the TV, Astro, lights and fan. Of course, some switches are too high for my reach, so I will ask Daddy or Mommy to 'pou' (carry) me first...


When going up or down the stairs, I like very much to turn the lights on and then off too. At other times, I would switch the standing fan on when we come downstairs in the morning. And sometimes, Mommy would give me this multi-purpose plug to keep me busy until my little fingers are tired or aching...

The Barking Dog

When we were out at the mall today, I was so fascinated by this dog that Mommy and Daddy decided to buy it for me...

However, when Mommy brought it out in the evening, I was suddenly afraid of it... Duuh!

Travelling Battles

I don't like to sit in my car seat. Lately, I even learnt how to escape from it. I can literally crawl out from under those seat belts. After many battles with Mommy, she let me go free today. And as I stood between the front seats, I kept calling Daddy a thousand times...



Of course, Mommy and Daddy think that safety should always come first. But really, after so many long battles, would you prefer that I stand rather quietly or sit crying VERY loudly for at least 30 minutes just for one day?

A Message for Daddy

Daddy, I have a message for you... do you see it?



Daddy loves me too! :)

Riding Backwards

19 Months Old

Today, I am 19 months old!

I still love books and animals. My favourite animal now is the rabbit...

I seem to cry a lot more lately. When things go wrong or doesn't go the way I like, I make a big fuss and cry alot. I drive Mommy nuts especially when I keep crying over little little things. For example, as you can see in the video below... I get so upset when I dropped my favourite toy car...

I still have 2-3 main meals a day and also milk (6 -7 oz) times a day. My favourite is still cheese. Most of the time I have porridge (with chicken, fish, etc.) as my main meal. Sometimes, I have some noodles, rice, pasta or bread. I have no problems drinking water. I drink alot of it. I don't request for sweets or sweet drinks (yet), except for the occassional treat of a 'Vitagen'...

My speech development is progressing. I can say and use many words, both English and Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin). I have started to repeat quite clearly most words Mommy and Daddy say, although I may not understand them yet. I have also repeated after them the letters of the alphabets from A to Z. Sometimes even saying the next letter before they say it. The only letters I can't say properly are "F", "N", "R" and "W"... There was a video taken but unfortunately, it has been corrupted. Mommy said she will try to retake another later...

Mommy hasn't measured how much I have grown. So I can't tell you about my physical development. However, I am sure I have grown a little taller and gained a little weight. Also, I can tell you this... Sometimes I walk backwards just for the fun of it!

Lonely

I am the only child. So I get a little lonely sometimes...

I would call out to the kids I see outside. Sometimes, they would say "Hello" back but sometimes they don't...

I am very happy when I get some attention, especially from the friendly 'kakak' (big sister/maid) opposite our house. You can see her in this video...

Anyway, I am quite happy playing on my own outside. I love the space to run and run around...

The Playground

Mommy and I walked to the nearest playground together today...





I love the slides...

And also the swings...

At first, I was a little hesitant to go around on my own to play. I was even afraid to step on the grass. After some time, I was a little more brave...

I was so happy that I didn't want to go when it was time to leave the playground...

Folding Clothes

Here's a video of me trying to help fold the handkerchieves and clothes...

Itchy Nose

How I Eat Biscuits

I have a bad habit of eating only the edges of a biscuit, much to Mommy's annoyance. I would chomp off the sides and then ask for a new one. Mommy tried to persuade me into finishing one at a time, but to no avail...

Manja With Bobo and Mommy

Good Old Bouncer

I found the bouncer under the bed and insisted that Mommy "yau-yau" me on it. Aaaah, so nice...

Please Close the Door

I am very insistent on having all doors closed. Including this one... *slam*
