Mummy's entry - My baby is 1!

Dear Haye Li,

Mummy cannot believe how fast you have grown! It really feels as if I have just given birth to you (probably coz you still wake up 2-3 times every night!).

You're acting all grown up now, wanting to be independant in everything you do. It doesn't help that you're walking so steadily as if you have been walking all this while.

You're quite a character too. So young and can show tantrums already. I am prepared to treat you the same like your cher-cher when she throws her tantrums and that is mummy will ignore you both. :D

You're also getting smarter. When mummy scolds you, you easily pretend that nothing has happened and would give me your sweetest smile ever or even laughed as if the wrong you have done was a joke. And this leads to your strength which is you're a smiley baby. Always smiling and happy - you sure know how to use this to your advantage!

My Haye Li, my Haye Li! You're one year old today. Happy Birthday! And here's wishing you many more wonderful birthdays to come. Please don't grow up so fast okay. Let mummy and papa enjoy having you as a baby first. We love you so much!

Love,

Mummy

Learning new tricks video

I don't understand why I'm being a showcase. I do these everyday just to please the people around me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them... I like showing you what I can do and I like it better that you get happy seeing me do my thing. But how come I don't get paid ah?!

"Just enjoy the show....I want my money back! I want my money back"

psst Grandma, this video got no cher-cher's voice coz she was having her nap then! :)

Not so dainty me

This is how I eat my biscuit....



What do I do with the crumbs?....I still eat it, like this...



And at times, my right foot still comes up...

what are you looking at?!!!

And I still point with my middle finger (now slowly learning to point the correct way)

my just woke up look

a picture with my cousins and my i-yee (their mom). we spent some time with them when my sister and papa went for their holiday during the raya weekend.

Middle finger

Mummy is happy now that I can point to whatever things I want or when I’m asked to point. But she is not happy that I’m using my middle finger to do this. What is wrong with using the middle finger?! She is trying to correct this by teaching her “ET, phone home” tactic which she used with my sister. As much as I know how to point the right way with “ET phone home”, I still use my middle finger to point at other things.

yes, you heard it right, my middle finger

see how i point!

a close up view! this is the way i point....so cute isn't it?

Little person in the house

watch out! there's a little person in da house now!

I'm walking everywhere I go now in the house that I'm termed a little person. Mummy says I'm so cute walking everywhere in my drunkard state. And now they need to be careful not to bump into me.

I can now call papa - he is overjoyed since my cher-cher called mummy first her time. As of today, I always go "papapapapa". Such music to my papa's ears he claims.

The words I can say:-

papa

ah-ter or ter = water

deh = there

cher = cher-cher (big sister

nen-nen = breast (aka milk time!)

mmmmum = food (mummy wish it was her though)

practising to walk with shoes on - can be considered my first shoe since the time my papa bought for my sis several years back, her feet was too big already. I didn't like it initially and now getting use to it.

Here's the video:-

Walking like a drunkard

I love walking now although I'm still not good at it. As much as I fall down on my butt-butt a lot, I am still determined to walk and walk and walk...only thing is, I do not like wearing shoes so Mummy has been telling me how am I going to walk outside of the house if I don't wear shoes.
