Almost everyone were sick. Mommy didn't know what to do for your 1st birthday. At last, after much consideration, we decided to just invite yeh yeh, nai nai & all to our house on your birthday which fell on a Wednesday. Yeh Yeh bought a small little cake from RT bakery. It tasted really good. Da gu bought you a shirt and a pant. We decided to do it at home because you get to play with the cousins and crawl freely on the floor.
Mommy applied leave to be with you on your birthday. I know that would be the best present for you & I'm really happy to have time with you. We went shopping to get you new clothes and mommy managed to find 2 sets of really cute clothes for you. Granny bought you a pair of shoes the day before your birthday but it was too small when you put it on. So we took the shoes to the same place granny bought them to get the size changed. However, we ended up choosing another pair of shoes. It was easier to choose the right shoes with you there to try on all of them.
Mommy just started you with some flash cards. You like to grab them from mommy. So I've come up with a better idea. I played the youtube flash cards from my iPhone and put it on the iPhone dock so you can watch the flash cards from the television.
Although you still can't talk, you make it a point to make sure you get what you want by sceaming.
Every morning, when mommy, daddy & ah yi goes to work, you sure to cry horrible for few minutes. Granny said you're so pitiful. When mommy comes home, you never fail to scream for me. Alan's granny said she can hear you screaming everyday.
When ah yi comes home, you want her to carry by pointing your finger at her. Just when she carries you, you point at the door to signal her so she would bring you out to see doggies.
When you see animals like dogs or cats, you make that "oooo" sound. You understand the word dog, cat & monkey.
You can wave, you know where is your stomach & head, you can use your palm & put towards your moutht to do the sound "babababa..", you can do alot of somersault too.
Everytime in the fenced up play area, you want someone to sit in to accompany you when you're playing. On & off, you'll crawl up for a hug and go back to your toys after that. You're so manja.
When you meet strangers, you tend to shy off by leaning on mommy's chest and look at the person with the edge of your eyes. After like 5 minutes, you always decide to let the stranger carry you.
Uncle Henry likes to tickle you on your neck with his rough chin which makes you laugh hysterically.
You can't walk independently yet. But you can run very fast in your baby cot. You chew on almost everything.
There are some brown stains on your 2 top teeth. Mommy tried to remove them with tooth paste but failed. Hopefully the stain will go away soon.
You like to eat almost everything. When you see that we're preparing your food, your mouth will move and you make some sounds which makes you look gullible. Haha!
You can recognise orange, apple & kiwi from far. Daddy always forgets and eats oranges in the living hall. When you see him with the orange, you'd scream really loud to reach the orange. Hahaha. It is as if daddy is a thief and the alarm went off.
Every evening around 6:30pm, mommy reaches home and quickly showers to breasfeed you after that. Mommy then have dinner before ZY comes home. ZY comes home around 8:30pm usually. Around 9pm, you have your supper. By 9:30pm, we would be up on the bed trying to sleep.
