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!

I am 8 months old

I'm a big baby now, so papa and mummy 'upgraded' me to a bigger car seat, and won't using the infant car seat anymore. Am I looking cool?

Any mummy also says, big baby will start potty training now!

I'm a one-legged parrot on my pa pa's shoulder

SSA's Ultimate Rendezvous

My first time at a concert and my mummy was one of the performers! I was so well-behaved, slept before my mummy's show and woke up just at the right time to watch her!

Today I have a new friend

Her name is Orange.

'Hello, Orange!'

I am 7 months old

I love it when you play with me. I kick my legs and swing my arms. I also jump with excitement when you support me to stand, laughing and screaming happily with my mouth wide open, showing off my two tiny teeth. Sometimes I attempt to clap my hands, but my hands won't meet so I end up hitting my chest like king kong. And I simply love it when you greet me Good Morning' every morning, you start off my day with excitement, and I always present you my loveliest smile.

I love to look at faces, and I am especially fascinated with those faces with spectacles so I can grab and pull them out, and put them in my mouth. Don't be surprised that I am really quick and good at grabbing your spectacles, as I even manage to break my Ah Ma' spectacles! Oh, I also love to grab noses, lick chins and bite cheeks. Now, you know what I mean when I say I love all your faces?

I don't like it and cry when you play 'bye bye' with me and walk out of my sight. I don't like to be alone and I want you to play with me. I will cry and scream until you come back and hug me, so that I know you are still with me. Don't you understand? I am trying to tell you 'Don't you go gai gai without me!'

I can utter many sounds now, like 'ooooh', 'ahhhh', 'oooehhh', 'neh neh', 'ma ma', 'da da', 'ba ba'. I can even blow my lips! But I dunno all the meaning of the words I say yet, and I get abit confused with so many words out there, so when I want my milk, I cried 'neh neh, neh neh', and when I am really tired, I also cried 'neh neh, neh neh'. I think I haven't gotten my vocabs quite right yet.

Oh, tummy time is the best, as its the time when I can exercise my little bit of independence. I can rotate 360 degree on my tummy now. And I can stretch my arms to reach for my toys, and hmmm.. anything in fact, like tissue paper, handphone, remote control and my favourite pacifier. When I am in my 'frog' position, I can be on reverse gear any time, and I can be really fast! But, I haven't learned to be crawl in the forward mode yet. Watch me! I will pick that up really soon.

My big eyes are the most curious of all. I love to look at anything and everything.. the dogs, cats, birds, aunties or uncles in the lifts, kor kors and jie jies at the playground. I love the cuckoo clock at home, love to watch Barney, and I am fascinated when I look at myself in the mirror. Most importantly, my sharp little eyes will make sure you don't leave my sight, or least not for too long, otherwise, I'll make sure I can be heard!
