Football Crazy

Football... watch the games, kick it, sleep on it...

Big Slippers Again

Yeah, don't you know that children just love being in adult's shoes or even slippers?

Previously, on "Big Slippers" here.

Beary Tired

Feeling a bit lazy even though I just woke up from my night's sleep about an hour ago...

Just Pictures

Saying "Mommy"

I have been calling Mommy "Mama" and sometimes "Ahma". So you can imagine Mommy's delight when I finally called her "Mommy" for the first time this morning. She couldn't believe her ears. Now she wants me to say it again and again...

Daddy's Home Early!

I get very excited when Daddy's home from work. Today I was exceptionally excited because Daddy was earlier than usual!

Pillows Here and There

Moving pillows is one of my favourite hobbies lately. Both upstairs and downstairs...

Another Favourite Spot

Enjoying my cornflakes and cheese...

My World of Sea Creatures

Suk-suk bought me
this recently and
I love it!! It has
little cute informative
books about
sea creatures
in it...

Big House Slippers

In one of Mommy's house slippers. The way it goes 'flap', 'flap' when I walk is so interesting. Haha...

I Want to Write

I found some papers and I want to write something... hehe...

Playing Outside

I get to play outside (between the front door and the gates) more now, especially during the evenings. More space for me to run around...




Sometimes I like to sit at the door step...






I also like to sit on this bench...

18 Months Old

Hi! I am 18 months old today...

NEW DEVELOPMENTS (since I turned 17 months old last month):

1. I am more affectionate. I will hug or 'sayang' people I have grown attached to, people like my Mommy, Daddy, Mah-mah, Yeh-yeh, Suk-suk and Ku-Cheh. I have also hugged the Cheh-cheh at Mah-mah's house when she cried and before she goes home...

2. I am also more cheeky. Sometimes I would offer Mommy or Daddy something, then not give it to them and giggle. Also, when Mommy wants to change me, I will run away. When she says, "Come here", I would take a few steps towards her, show her my cheeky smile and then run away laughing every time...

3. I am using more and more words. I am also learning to put two words together. My most recent favourite words are: "no more", "ehgo" (let's go), "clo" (close), "ohkay" (okay), "walk-walk", "sit-sit", "book", "kakak" (the maid opposite our house). When I am not saying any particular word, I really babble a lot!

4. I can recognise the letter "A" and maybe "B" and "C" too. Whenever I see the letter "A", I will point to it and say "aye" (e.g. the letter "A" in 'NOKIA', 'TOSHIBA'... in magazine covers, newspapers, books, TV).

5. I am learning to help or try to help Mommy more and more. For example, when she is hanging the laundry, I will take the hangers for her. When I spilt water on the floor, I will quickly get a handkerchief to wipe it dry. When Mommy is cleaning the room, I want to help. When she is sweeping, I want to too!

6. I know where the rubbish bin is and will help Mommy throw things (such as cheese wrapper) or the tiniest things I found or picked up from the floor (such as cornflake bits)...

7. I have new teeth coming up at the back of my gums (left and right).

8. Strangely, I seemed to cling to Mommy more when at home.

9. I drew my first masterpiece with crayons.

10. I know how to put lego bricks together now.

11. I prefer to climb down the stairs on my own. I don't want Mommy to carry me, but I am sometimes fine with holding her hand.

12. I know how to nod or shake my head when asked whether I want something or not. Previously I don't nod my head, I will just scream. But I knew how to shake my head when I disapprove of something.

WHAT I LIKE TO DO (in no particular order):

1. Open drawers (especially the ones in the kitchen when Mommy is busy preparing my meals)...

2. Show my cheeky smiles...

3. Arrange my soft toys in a row and sit with them.

4. Pile up pillows/cushions and sleep on them.

5. Climb up and down ... stairs, sofa, chair, bench...

Time totally flies! Can you believe it? I am one and a half year old already...

Pictures on Posters

When I am in the mood, I like to point out the pictures on the posters for Mommy. I like to say "neeh" when pointing. But when I forget or can't find the correct picture to point, I will go "ei? ei?".

Even though I can recognise most of the pictures already, I still make mistakes (intentionally or not). Maybe I am just not paying enough attention...

Fond of Bears

I am very fond of soft toys, particularly my 'sheepy' and as shown in this video, my 'koala' too. Sometimes, you can hear me making the weirdest sounds when I am playing with them (very geram mah)...

Y = Yawn

Whenever I look at this page in my ABC book with the letter "Y", I will pretend to yawn and sometimes literally yawn...

I also like the rabbit and the bear on this page and will say "abbit" or "bear-bear". Sometimes I will also say "chee-chee" when pointing at the choo-choo train. If I am snacking, I will offer some to Mommy or the boy in the picture and then say "aaaaam" as shown in the video.

Sit, Sit

Yesterday I said the word "sit" (for the first time). I requested Mommy to sit on the floor with me to play.... I said "sit, sit" and hit my hand on the floor... :)

Excuse Me

This happened yesterday morning...

Mommy: Aaah-chooo (she sneezed)
Me: Eeeeeeee!!
Mommy: Excuse me!
Me: Mm, okay...
