Happy 11 Months Old My Baby Gal

Hmm what are you looking at, dude?  :D

My Darling turns 11 months old today! Can you believe it!?
I gotta start planning for her first birthday real soon :)

You turned into a smart little gal you know that? You've learned so much that Mommy can't keep up!

Solid foods are goin well lately, we've started lumpier food instead of the mushy purée.

Porridge with fish, pumpkin, carrot, spinach, potato, tomato and I've changed her white rice to organic mixed grain of brown rice, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, oats and barley.

Enjoying Pumpkin Porridge!

Last week you joined Mommy and Daddy for Japanese udon for the first time and you loved it! :)

We've been practicing to have you on the high chair with us during meal times. You really enjoy the bread pieces and sometimes plain rice and happily feeding yourself with fingers :) Mommy's getting you your utensils and we'll practice self-feeding with spoon k! One thing is, you hate it when Mommy pointing your leg on the food tray and say 'put down', you'll be whining but putting your foot down unwillingly :)

You've learned so much and I hope I didn't miss anything here. Among your first words are:
Mama (Mommy)
Dada (Daddy)
Papa (Popo)
Wrow wrow (Dog)
Mao Mao (Cat)
Rerrrrr Rerrrr (Lion)
Duck (yes, Duck!)
Baba (Bao Bao, Bye bye, Apple, Pineapple)
Be ber (Bird bird)
Mum mum (Eating time)
... (I'm sure there's more but my mind's stuck!)

Favourite games of the month:
Peekaboo - You discovered the curtain and you'll pull it over your face then pull it away to peekaboo with me :)
Be 'caught' - When you're doin certain things that you're not supposed to do and someone approached to say 'no-no', you'll fall right onto the mattress excitedly and plant your face to it.

In the morning I'll be waked up by this cutest voice calling Mama :) And you said Mommy yesterday for the first time!

Mommy love you so much my baby!

Happy 9 Months Old My Baby :)

Enjoying your books already :)

I can't believe 9 months just flown by, in the blink of an eye!

9 Months Milestones

- You can stand almost instantly by minimum support, it's good that you know how to drop your little butt down and not get 'stuck' in the standing position and cry for help :)

- Showing your affection with lots of 'wet kisses'. Usually follow by biting attempts :D

- Separation anxiety getting really obvious now that whenever I put you down to playpen or pass you to Po Po, you'll be whining while I turned around. My heart aches when I walked away :'(

- You know where to find Daddy every morning and give him the cutest morning call :)

- Really enjoy riding the baby walker (Yes, Mommy's not suppose to use it!). I only put you restricted in the dining area for a really short while so you can see us nearby when we're busy in the kitchen!

- Understands commands like bye-bye, high-five and gong-xi gong-xi (hand gesture for wishing Happy Chinese New Year) but most of the time you're too lazy to do it!

- Good in socialising with your great 'smile talk'. Spice up the interaction with plenty of babbles and bubbles too!

- Love to stand up in the playpen to look out for us. Tipping your toes to catch us when we playing peekaboo :)

- My heart dropped once you knocked on the wall so hard and screamed on top of your lung. The bump with greenish in the middle immediately grew on your forehead, and lasted a few days :'(

- Our bonding is so obvious now that no doubt Mommy is your favourite person. It's not just you, I'm struggling with separation anxiety too! :'(

- Every morning I'll wake up with the happiest baby with the sweetest smile that makes my day :)

What more in life that I need?

Million kisses,
Sweet Pea Mom

Happy 8 Months Old My Little Darling!

Happy 8 months old my little Darling *cuddle*

We have a 8-month-old now! Wait, what? (Cue record scratch.) While those sleepless nights often felt like an eternity, the months have flown by, which only means one thing: When the next few months fly by, we'll have a (gulp) 1-year-old.

OK, now we're getting misty-eyed with nostalgia. I can't help thinking,"They grow up so fast. Sniff!"

My little Sunshine, here's what keeping you busy recently:

- Of late you've been talking the language of ma-ma-mam-mammmmm after doin the ba-ba-da-de-daaaaa for quite a while... I'm wondering if you mean Mommy or you're just hungry? :)

- Practicing to wave in the style of Queen by twisting your wrist often, once or twice you surprised us by waving bye-bye when we say goodbye you to!

- Mommy admit that I was jealous that you prefer Daddy over me, and was upset when you used to give me that who-are-you face. But till recently, you became really attached to me. Which of course, I'm loving it to the max! :)

- You're showing interest to all the details you get contact with, from the sounds of the plane flown by to the tiny little eye on the plushy yellow ducky. It's just so cute each time you're trying to scratch it off ducky's face :D

- Starting to understand object permanence when you trying to look for Daddy as he played peekaboo with you :)

- You love munching papaya with the Nibbler mommy bought for you. Reaching for spoon while being fed shows that you're ready to feed yourself :) Favourite food of the month: banana! Next, we'll try pear, ok?

- Learning to imitate moods and emotions from us. When I'm laughing over things you'll look at me and giggle too!

- Recent exercise: cruising around by holding on sofas and pillows. Mommy can't wait to see your very first steps forward already!

- Favourite toy at the moment: our iPhones! Crawling excitedly to grab it whenever it's within your sight! Fascinated while we showing you your pretty pictures on the phone :)

- Last but not least, your very first 2 bottom white caps officially make their appearance, finally, after all the fussiness and crankiness. In the meantime Mommy & Daddy are brushing up our photography skills trying to snap photos of those little cuties! By the way, your top middle tooth is peeking already :)


Love you more each day!
