Gogobambini again!

In the last 1 wk, I've gone to gogobambini at dempsey road not once, but twice!! Last saturday, Mummy decided to bring me for a baby outing with Zevon didi, Roxanne mei mei and Kayden didi. It was so fun although the place was very very crowded! Mummy and Aunty Rina were very amused to see us crawling and toddling around together, and as the saying goes, 'monkey see monkey do'. When I saw Zevon didi tumbling through the window of the small house, i soon followed suit and later, so did Kayden didi! I also learnt really quickly how to get onto the red plastic rocking horse, and galloped madly away!! kekekee :) check out the pics below!

My fav ride of the day!

Kayden : No thanks.. but if u really really want to, you can have my cheek!

All I GOT for christmas is my 2 front teeth...


2 very blur looking babies (could it be due to us being born on the same day??)


Kayden didi buried under the balls!


THe only picture papa managed to get of me trying to climb through the window (very blur cos i move too fast ma!)


Today, mummy, yeye and nai nai brought me to gogobambini again cos the promotion (free entry for 2 yrs and below) ends 31 Aug! But I wasnt in too good a mood today, perhaps because i had no little friends to play with! As aunty jessica had previously brought shannen to play in the big kids play area before, mummy decided to let me try it out too. yuck! so dark, and everyone else is bigger than me! plus, its not a safe place either cos nai nai nearly fell down the long flight of steps!! gave mummy a heart attack! Dont think we will be coming back anytime soon. Mummy says : next trip : Fidgets with aunty jessica and shannen mei mei next wk!! yippee!!t

1,2,3,4,5....

Since yeye retired, i've got one more person around to read cards and books to me, which is my all time fav activity now!! can never get enough of it and i am always bringing books/cards to yeye/nainai/mummy and signalling for them to read to me.

With all this 'intensive tuition', i can now recognise numbers 1 - 10. When i see the numbers 1,2,5 and 8, i will also scream out the numbers excitedly, albeit in mandarin (mummy is kinda disappointed i cant say any numbers in english yet).

I can also recognise certain letters, eg C, R, X and say these letters when shown the flashcards.

Colour recognition : I can identify most colours, eg blue, red, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple.

Mummy has been trying to reintroduce the GD flashcards (home made by mummy dearest). But cos she is working, she can only flash to me once a day when she comes back from work. Proud to say that I am making some progress, cos I can pick out the correct dot cards most of the time when mummy tests me.

Puzzles - I am getting better at fitting in shapes/blocks(mainly triangle, heart, cross, hexagon, square and circle) to their correct holes. I also say STAR very loudly when i see anything in the shape of a star.

Toto and the Hort Park

This wk, I've got to go out many many times!! Why? Cos yeye has just retired wef 8 August, and now there's 2 of them to torture at home! hyak hyak hyak..

Today, Yeye and Nai nai decided to bring me to Horticultural Park for an afternoon walk since it is just a stone's throw away at Alexandra area. Poor mummy was stuck in office slogging while the 4 of us (YES, papa included.. dont get me started on why he was free to come) got to go and play!

Watch me stand!!(btw, this is the 1st time I am able to stand independently long enough to take a picture, and not need anyone next to me to jagar me!)


Clap!! clap!! why nobody clapping for me?? u think it's easy to stand so long??


What's that on my head?


Whatever it is... it's not staying on my head long, that's for sure!


Finally!


Making my way on my own 2 legs!




Striking a (HIAO) pose! Pretty or not?






And last of all... the ugliest face I have ever made (according to mummy!)..

I can walk I can walk!!!

Caught you by surprise there with the heading didn't I?? How come the baby with the slowest motor milestones can walk already?? If you remember, I took my virgin steps nearly 1 mth ago on 17 July. Until today, I could walk pretty well holding on to someone's hand, but didnt have confidence to let go. Heh heh... now I still cant walk that well la, but I made mummy so thrilled today when I suddenly let go of my playskool walker and started trotting in an opposite direction! Think I must have gone about 1.5m before I sat down to crawl! For the rest of the night, I managed to walk longer distances, once even managing to make it from the living room to the computer area (which is about 3-4 metres) before losing my cool and sitting down!!

Mummy was so glad that she managed to catch me taking my first proper steps even though she has to work full time! gave me millions of hugs and kisses afterwards! :)

New toy?? Nah...

Mummy bought me the playskool walker many many mths ago when JL had sale - it was a cheap $21 after all the discounts! Original RP was $39.90 apparently. But cos I only got more steady on my feet in the recent months, mummy decided to let me try it again at gong gong's house today.

Amazingly, I managed to walk while pushing the walker in front of me, and can even do a u-turn/change direction/reverse while pushing the walker! Hmm.. all self taught ok!! :P But I did nearly fall a few times as I was reversing too enthusiastically and my feet cld not move as fast as the walker.

Hope I can learn to walk faster with this toy!

Han4 Bao2 Bao1!!

That's hamburger for those of you who do not know chinese!! And once I see a flyer advertising some sort of burger, I will chant Han4 Bao2 Bao1 Han4 Bao2 Bao1!! Check this out!! (pls come back to see video - mummy is busy in office and has no time to upload!)

Pink pink pink!!

Mummy and papa got me a pink bicycle from Kiddy Palace for my 1st birthday! But I only got to ride it for the 1st time today cos everyone was too busy to have time to bring me downstairs for a bike ride! :(

Well, let's just say... SOME THINGS ARE WORTH WAITING FOR!!!!had so much fun I made sure I screamed and cried like hell when Ye Ye and mummy wanted to bring me back upstairs for my nap. heehee... :)
