Afternote : TO be frank, I think I prefer the zoo a lot more.. Bird Park is nice but in the end, from what I can tell from Mummy's commentary on the way, it boils down to just 3 kinds of birds - small bird, medium bird and big bird. *yawn*

More new words!
I am growing up fast cos...
**I can now say :
-orange
-ball
-er4 (chinese for the number 2)
-wu3 (chinese for number 5)
**And follow simple 2-3 step commands
**Identify 4 body parts :
- head, nose, mouth, feet
** Identify shapes : triangle, star, circle
**Identify selected numbers (2 and 5)
**Stand unsupported for about half a minute (before I sit down from lack of confidence, not from falling off balance)
**Took my first unaided steps on 17 July 2008 (eye witnesses : mummy and yeye!)
** Identify 6 different fruits by pictures/in the flesh
- apple, banana, pineapple, strawberry, orange and grapes
** Throw/roll a ball on the floor
Hmm... I wonder what is left that I cannot do... (Mummy : A LOT!!)

Mummy's birthday celebrations
Today is the day Mummy turns 28 and I turn 13 mths! As usual, Papa had planned Mummy's birthday celebrations well in advance, and had a whole string of surprises lined up for her.
We started off the day by going to Macdonalds for breakfast. I had my first taste of hotcakes!! YUMMMMY!!! just couldnt get enough of it! After breakfast, we headed to Henderson Waves for a morning walk (note : It wasn't actually morning, but more like noon by the time we got there! And pp ask why I am so dark...)
Knocked out from the heat and full morning feed (barely 20 min after stepping onto the walkway)
Awake and happy once we were on the Henderson Waves proper :
See how hot it is! Can barely open my eyes!
After our little morning/noon walk, Papa and mummy fetched me home for my lunch, then proceeded for the rest of Mummy's birthday celebration - yes, WITHOUT me! But with the kinda places Papa splashed out on - a 2.5 hr massage with chocolate fondue and open air jacuzzi at Changi village THE RETREAT spa, and yummy dinner at Prive at Keppel Bay Drive and finally a movie at vivo (Hancock - which according to mummy btw, is a totally sucky show), who can blame them for not being able to bring me along? Well, Happy Birthday Mummy!

Formula once more!
Mummy has been breastfeeding me for more than a year now! As mummy is HOPING (i say hoping cos mummy is still very reluctant and cant bear to stop) to wean me off bm, she decided to intro FM to me just before her trip to bkk in june! As I was taking nan ha as supplementation till i was 3 wks old, mummy decided to put me on nan ha 2. I didnt really like the taste at first, but slowly took to it after a few tries. Mummy decided to switch to gain iq after 2 wks cos I had very watery stools with nan ha and got nappy rash. so far so good.. and now I am on 1 full FM feed a day, with the remaining 3 feeds being BM/latch on feeds.
hmmm... wonder when I will be on total FM.. at the rate mummy is dilly dallying ard, probably never!!

More words!
I am now 1 yr, and 3 wks old! I have also been jabbering a lot more these days, and trying to imitate actions and sounds of pp ard me (with varying degrees of success!).The new words I can say now are :
1) Wa2 Wa4 (chinese for doll) - when shown the flashcard of a doll
2) Bao2 Bao1 (chinese for baby) - when shown a picture of a baby
3) mao1 (chinese for cat) - when I see cats running around
Ye ye and nai nai insist I can also say ban1 ma2 (zebra) but mummy isnt too convinced cos I havent given her a live demo yet (but mainly cos yeye and nai nai have a kinda overactive imagination where I am concerned!)
Mummy is kinda worried that I can say more chinese words than english ones (can only manage 'up' and 'apple' to date in english, besides the usual papa, mama). She is also stressed that other babies seem to be able to speak a lot more than me tho we are all the same age! (its the fault of the forum she frequents!). Aiyo... stop worrying mummy!!

Couped up in a cage..
As I have been falling too frequently recently (cant even be left alone for 1 sec without getting a knock somewhere on my face/chin/lip), papa and mummy decided its time to buy me a new toy - a playpen!! They were quite lucky that robinsons had a promo for a square playpen - selling at only 89.90 (UP 139), and when they brought me to test it out b4 buying, I kept walking round and round in it and refused to get out!
See how happy I am in it!!

My first haircut!
Its a fact (and mummy, pls accept it!) - I have not much hair! Despite this, Mummy decided it was time to bring me for a hair cut cos the few strands of hair I have are all too long and keep poking me in the eyes and neck!
Mummy, being the bargain queen that she is, managed to get her paws (oops.. hands!!) on a cutout that basically entitles babies born in may and June to get a free haircut (worth $18!!). After spending ages persuading papa to allow me to go for a haircut ( cos papa's fav nighttime hobby is to come home after work and sniff and play with my hair), mummy and papa brought me to Forum Toysrus Childrens' League to have my very first haircut!
No pictures to share though.. cos unfortunately, silly mummy forgot to bring a camera , so all pictures and videos are still in papa and mummy's camera waiting to be uploaded. The results of the haircut were disastrous, not because I was badly behaved (to the contrary, I was quite an angel during the haircut as I was amazed by the balloons and toys that the nice aunty kept offering me!), but probably because the skills of the aunty who cut my hair left much to be desired. As papa put it, my hair looked like a dog had bitten bits of it off haphazardly!!
As such, I was marched off the next day to have my hair trimmed by Ma2 Ma4. Cos the aunty spoiled my hair, Ma2 Ma4 had no choice but to cut my fringe pretty short. Papa thot I looked really toot but everyone else thought it made me look really cute!! :) What do you think?
