Walking at Vivo..

After the family day, mummy and daddy brought me to Vivo to meet Por por who is going back to Balai.. oh ya, mummy got me a new car seat, I must say I like it a lot as shown in the pics :P

Also perhaps I was real happy as I have a nap of over 2 hrs and was feeling really fresh.




Me on the new car seat.. :O












At Harbour Front, 3rd floor, lots of area for playing..

Playing at the toy car at Harbour Front

Taking the merry go round

After por por left, the whole gang went shopping at vivo.. haha.. mummy, daddy, me, kakak, yee yee, yee chand, ku ku, suiku and suikim.. actually only mummy and yee yee shopping, the whole gang just followed, wat a funny sight.. anyway, we went to Espirit as yeeyee has a family disc card so mummy bought a shirt for me.. oh boy.. mummy has big shopping that day.. oops.. haha..

We went to Sushi Tei for dinner after that.. mummy and daddy decided to let me practice walking at vivo.. it was fun, start with mummy and daddy holding my hands walking then i tried to walk alone for a few steps.


After a while I feel tired and stoned at my position while playing with a cer cer sitting at the stool.. haha.. mummy was so amused that i'm keep on ogling girls.. :O

Family Day

What a busy day today, mummy is up early preparing porridge for me to bring to mummy's company family day at Bottle Tree park at Yishun, sound like a nice place.. hehe.. It was a terribly hot day and i must say I'm not at my best mood as the day before I did not sleep well.. woke up at 11+ crying non stop and as suggested by Kuku who happen to be in S'pore that I was having a very bad nighmare and told mummy to wake me up. They tried by letting me watch TV and so happen that Barney is on the Disney channel and this is the first time i'm watching.. i enjoyed it very much.. only managed to put me back to sleep after midnight.. :P

Back to bottle tree park, we arrived at 9+ and went over to see some kids trying to catch fish.. it was fun.. then we went to the tent where mummy's family day was held. I must say not much things for me to play so i was rather bored there except meeting a few of mummy's colleagues and children.

See: me at the start, not very happy wor.. :(

Like to play with mummy's necklace and hair.. :P

It's a hot day so this fan came in handy.. i loved it.. :O

The only joy I had was playing with balloons..

We walk around the bottle tree park, lots of plants too but it's a hot day.. :( see daddy cant even open his eyes.. haha.. my favorite pout at the moment.. :P

By noon, i'm already tired and wanna go home and sleep

Mummy, pau pau, i want to sleep.. I fell asleep on the way home and sleep for nearly 2 hrs before went to Vivo to meet por por.. :O

Climbing up and down Sofa

I am able to climb down sofa on my own.. A ma commented i'm smart as at least i did not go head down.. and kok kok my head.. hehe..

Mummy managed to capture this one video. Enjoy :O

Also when i'm learning to walk, i take a few small steps with my leg apart, really difficult to walk. but whenever i feel i'm falling, i'll squat down before proceeding.. A ma also say i'm clever.. hehe cos scared to fall.. pain pain le.. :P

1st Pnemoccocal Jab

Mummy and daddy has brought me to my first pnemoccocal jab a month after my 1 year old birthday. 2nd jab will be 2 mths later.


Before the jab, exploring the toys at the clinic's playing area








Beside jab, DR Simon Ng also did a 1st year assessment..
Mostly asking questions like:
1.How much milk/ solid daily?
Ans: Milk 150 ml every 3 hrly, 2 porridge a day.

Doc suggest for baby my age, 500-700ml of milk a day is very good, for solid, more variety, vegi and fruits.. Doc gives mummy a food list as per below of the 'safe' food and those that should avoid as it may cause allergies.
-> I pass, heee.. :P


2. Able to clap hands and do the bye bye actions?
Ans: Clap hands ok, bye bye occasionally i will do depending on my mood.
-> sort of pass :P

3. Talking? Able to call anyone?
Ans: I can blabber a lot, like mam mam, dada, ber ber, kok kok.. etc, can call da di
-> can pass :P

4. Hearing Test
Doctor stands rather far (about 1.5m) with daddy carying me facing opposite him and he called my name (XiangXiang) very very softly. Doctos saw that I was able to react by turning to the direction of the sound, daddy proved also that i did react when i hear my name.
-> pass :O

5. Physical Test
Doctor starts checking the stomach (kidney ok) and my testicles (not sure why?) and general body check. Asking if I'm able to stand or walk.. Mummy explained that I was able to stand for a few mths already, only this week able to walk unsteadily for a few steps
-> pass :O

Also mummy complained I get rashes easily around the scrotum area, Doctor did have a look and suspect it may be due to fungus (wet). So he prescribed some medicine to apply.

As usual, I was crying buckets of water when the jab was given.. :( While daddy trying to distract and play with me, mummy ask some general questions about my progress, other essential vaccinations and if i need any supplements.. overall my progress is good, MMR is at 15th mth (make sure no allergies to eggs) whereas optional jab like chicken pox jab would be at 14th mth, flu jab also can be taken if wanted.

Doc also advised i may need a Hep B booster jab but will need a blood test to determine.

Worth mentioning is mummy was happy that I already cross the 10kg mark, weighing exact 10kg, 77cm tall and with head circumference of 47cm, all 75% percentile. Finally mummy and a ma work of cooking nice stuff for me works.. hehe..


After the jab, we went to AMK hub..
a pic taken with MR TOMATO..

I could not help but bio-ing him.. hehe.. :O

Cycling at East Coast Park

Daddy and mummy is planning to bring me to East Coast Park today after Aunt Rachelle's recommendation. But oh my at noon time, there was a big scare, our neighbour living directly below our unit forgot to turn off the stove when going out, lots of smoke coming out from their house with a strong burning smell.. My quick-witted mummy called 999 and within 2 mins there were 2 fireengines arriving at our block, lots of onlookers la..

The brave firefighters broke open the door and put out the smoke :P

After this drama, we set off to East Coast park, must be the long car ride, I actually fell off asleep upon reaching.. so mummy and daddy have to wait for me to wake up

After I'm up, we went for strolling at the beach, I was too fascinated by the sea.. proof: pictures, hehee.. :P

While waiting for daddy to rent the bicycle, Yee Yee and Yee Chang starts flying kite at the open space near the beach. They have enjoyed themselves too..

Forgot to mention, I have a new haircut the day before.. short and lots of ppl commented looks more and more like daddy.. :O

The wind is very stong today and sun is glaring, look I cant even open my eyes

Here come daddy with the bike, after putting the safety belt, we set off to cycle..

I enjoyed myself very much, mumbling and talking while on the bicycle, facinated by wat I've seen.. lots of ppl cyclying, roller blading and jogging at EastCoast Park.

Overall, I really enjoyed today and mummy and daddy have promised to bring me back again. yipeee.. :O

While waiting for daddy to come back after returning the bike, Yee Yee starts playing with me and I really find interest in water bottle.. mummy is still puzzled while I like them so much.. hee.. heee :P

April's Babies Work-out!

On 2nd of May, mummy has joined the SMF mummies activities for the babies born on April 2008. Aunt Veronica has arranged this activity at the JWT Kids at East Coast Road to celebrate the April babies birthday.. Mummy is in charge of ordering the cupcakes and we collected 24 cupcakes on the way there. During the ride there, I fell asleep again (as usual) so daddy waited with me at the carpark while mummy deliver the cupcakes first..

Here's how the cupcakes look like, how adorable and definitely look tasty. I did taste some though mummy was not very keen but daddy was ok.. hehe..

After I'm up, I proceed to JWT Kids where there were lots of hunks and babes.. as i just wake up, not so friendly.. hehe.. i was on my own most of the time, exploring the stations with mummy and daddy.. Some activities:

A pic with mummy first before further venturing..

I dont dare to crawl to this tunnel unlike Alaric kor kor :P

Slide with daddy

Stationary swings:

But I love this swing the most.. haha.. :O
