Happy 1st Birthday!!

Vanilla ice cream saved my life!

I had fever for 3 days, and lost my appetite. On the third day, I even refused all milk and water. Papa and Mummy brought me to see Dr Chong. Dr Chong warned that if I do not take water at all for the next 12 hours, I would be dehydrated and need to be admitted to hospital for a drip. However, I was refusing all fluids. Dr Chong suggested giving Vanilla Ice Cream to me. Mummy was shocked to hear that I can take ice cream even though I'm sick, but still went to buy the ice cream immediately... I took a few mouthful and I love it! When I reached home, I was willing to take some milk.

So... vanilla ice cream saved my life and I need not be sent to the hospital!

Few days later I developed alot of rashes all over my body. I have poor appetite, irritable, gets tired very easily and have swollen eyelids. Dr Chong says its false measles and mummy and papa need not be too worried.

Now that I have recovered, I'm wondering when I can eat the yummy yummy ice cream again!

Yes and No

Although I still can't say most things, I love to nod my head or shake my head to indicate a yes or a no when you ask me something, like 'Yu Le, you want eat this?' I will nod my head. 'Yu Le, you want to go playground and see bird bird?' I will nod my head. 'Yu Le, you poo poo already? I will nod my head. 'Yu Le, drink water.' I will shake my head. I always seem to give the right reponse to the question even though I may not understand the question, and that can sometimes give my papa and mummy a good laugh.

I always anticipate a 'No' from mummy by shaking my head even before she says a 'No'. Like climbing up the sofa to pick up the telephone, I will shake my head first before mummy says 'No'. I will also shake my head when I pull the car handle even before my mummy shouts 'No'. But the curious and mischievous me would always love to repeat these acts, and always shaking my head even before mummy says 'No'.

Walking at 11 month

Today, I walked 6 steps on my own. I tend to be really anxious about walking, like want to charge forward, and then fall into my mummy's arms... my papa says by my 1st birthday, I will definitely be running around already!

FISH

New word added to my list of vocabs today... I looked at a fish and called out 'SS'! My mummy repeated 'FI-SH' and I said 'SS'.. heeheee...

10 month old baby

At 10 month old, there's lot of things I can do now, including
many new words I can say, like

• papa


• mama


• ah mah


• po (means por por)


• oo oo (means my aunt gu gu)


• qie (means jie jie)


• berd (means bird)


• duck


• tat (means cat)
  
• bor (means ball)


• neh neh (means my all time favourite MILK!)
• ooo wah oooo wah (means I'm fascinated)
  

I really surprised my mummy one day when I looked at a rubber duckie at Toys R Us and said 'duck'! Now, early in the morning (most of the time without fail at 7am), I will yell 'papa' and 'mama' in my cot to wake them up and ask for 'neh neh'. You see! I really know how to get what I want, right?!

Learning to walk

I love playgrounds now. Every and any playground. My daily routine now includes going to the neighbourhood playground. I love to watch children play and I wish I could join them. See! I'm learning to walk now, and very soon, I want to run around, climb those slides and ride on those rides!

If you're happy and you know it, you clap your hands

What's happening at 9 months old...

I have 4 teeth now! But my two upper front teeth are not even yet... 1 is shorter that the other... hopefully the shorter one catches up soon!

I have learned to clap my hands... and I do it all the time now... and when mummy sings ' If you're happy and you know it, you clap your hands', I'll be clapping!

I can stand on my own while leaning against the wall... and clap my hands too! I'm sure proud of it.. and can't stop grinning!

I am really active now.. my papa and mummy call me a worm! as I can't stop wriggling here and crawling there... and what I see, I must grab! My favourite want-to-grab... remote control!

I can even climb onto the sofa now and walk sideway along the sofa using my hands to support...

Oh I love to play hide and seek... you just have to call my name and I'll be able to find you... wherever you are in the house!

I love mirrors too! Its fascinating to see a baby looking excatly like me!

And I simply luuuuvvvvvveee to eat! Whatever you eat, I want to eat too! Whatever you feed me, I will be grinning in delight!

Fun at the pool

My third time at the pool, and finally not scared of the water anymore!
