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?

Family photoshoot at FOTO U!!
Today we went for a family photoshoot at Foto U! This was part of yeye's bday present cos gu1 ma1 and mummy wanted to get a nice family portrait blown up to commemorate yeye's 60th bday!
Uncle Benjamin was real patient in trying to make me laugh, but unfortunately I wasnt in too good a mood. Still, the photos didnt turn out too bad! Mummy is really tempted to bring me for an individual one in a few mths time.
This is the one we have decided to enlarge!
HUMPH... what are YOU looking at??
ALL ME!!
Happy family!

baby no more... i am ONE!!!
I finally turn 1! to those who are reading, hey that means I am no longer a BABY but have crossed officially into TODDLERHOOD!!! hyak hyak hyak... (papa says that one cant be called a toddler if he/she cant even stand, not to mention TODDLE, but that's a separate story altogether)
To celebrate my 1st birthday, I had 2 small gatherings. mummy was too tired to organise a big bash like the one I had for full mth celebration. the 1st gathering was on 8 June with Gong Gong and Ma Ma and mummy's relatives at River View Hotel, and the 2nd one was on 15 June, just 1 day b4 I officially turned 1!
Pictures of the 2nd party at home :
My actual day birthday cake cutting ceremony!
Also, since this blog is meant to help remind mummy of the milestones I have (or have not) achieved, here are the things i can do at the grand old age of 1!
Motor skills :
- Crawling on all 4s (FINALLY!! can u believe I only discovered my passport to unlimited snooping into forbidden crevices and nooks and crannies at the grand age of 11+ mths?? is that delayed motor skills or what? mummy believes its due to my big fat butt. hmm... )
- standing unsupported (my best record was a whopping 10 sec!! woo hoo!!)
- follows commands (wave/flying kiss/kiss mummy on command, stroke mummy's hair when asked to, knows actions to songs eg twinkle twinkle little star, sits/stands/lie down on command - of cos this depends on my mood!
Verbal :
- says papa and mama to the correct pp
- says UP when I want to be carried
- says apple when i am shown a picture of the fruit or when i see the fruit at fruit stalls
- make a valiant attempt to vocalise baby when i see my fav flash card of a baby holding a ball - instead of beh-bee, i say BA BE
- pretends to bark like a dog when I see a picture of a dog/doggy stuffed toy
Others :
- recognises and picks out correctly flash cards like car, watch, flower, dog, cat, clock, sea horse, and many more
- recognises shapes - heart shaped/star and triangle by picking out the correct shapes and 'matching' it to the correct page in my shapes picture book
- dances to music like a real seasoned chiongster
- drink from a straw cup (since 9 mths old)
- answers simple yes/no questions by nodding or shaking my head accordingly
- points out body parts like nose, mouth when asked
- pats chest when asked where is xingyi/toto
- loves to unpack and repack my box of toys
- loves to be read to
- tries to comb my hair with the barbie comb mummy got foc from tangs!
current favorite person - Ma2 Ma4! (thats mummy's mummy, for those who are wondering..)
ok.. time to stop.. only cos its time for mummy to knock off from work!! till the next post..

FIDGETS!
Today we went to Fidgets as Mummy is on urgent leave with yeh yeh being hospitalised with a peritonsillar abscess (OUCH!). We went with Aunty Jessica and baby Shannen who stay just 2 blocks away.
For $8 per entry and unlimited playtime, it was sure worth the money cos we stayed there the whole afternoon!
With baby Shannen..
In the ball pit..
In my very own car!
We also met Baby Gayle (another July baby) there!

Gogobambini!
Today mummy brought me to Gogobambini ( a indoor playground for kids with cafe and stuff - check out website : http://www.gogobambini.com/index.php ) to meet her friends from SMH forum! Thanks to Aunty Flo aka bcube who gave us a lift to the ulu (only cos mummy doesnt drive!) dempsey area! :)
from L--> R : Pretty Renee mei mei, ME!, and Ems mei mei (who can already crawl and stand with support btw!) all looking up entranced by Aunty Gillian's(aka Yolksac!)funny noises and antics.
p/s : Adrienne mei mei was also there.. but we missed her in the gp photo cos she was stuck like a koala bear to her mummy Aunty Tricia! Envy her pretty locks of hair though!
As you can see, I dont look too happy being submerged in a sea of balls!!
HEEELLLLP!!!! mummy take me out!!!
Me and tired looking mummy resting on the slide!
