Geezee… can’t believe it… I’m actually 10-month old today!!! Like what mommy said, I’m a big boy lioa… but then hor… there are still tonnes of things she and daddy won’t allow me to do yet… being a 10-month old and still being treated very much like a small and helpless baby… *pout* :(
Anyway, I’m not going to sulk on that right now coz I wanted to check my milestone (woooo… that’s an adult’s word :)) and see how far I am in my growth chart… guess gong-gong and poh-poh will be excited to know what I am capable of doing now…. hehehe
though I see them almost any other night over Skype…. see, little me also go on video conferencing leh… and I’m proud to declare that I can recognise gong-gong, poh-poh, kau-fu and kam-moh without problems at all. I can do my standing stunts, clap my hands and wave my hands when gong-gong and poh-poh asked me to over the webcam.
Sometimes when my mood is good I even shake my butt-butt and scream and squel in delight!
Ok, the not so impressive thing is, mommy and daddy has been telling all the uncles and aunties who were trying to pinch my little chubby cheeks, that I’m a little terror at home but looked so angelic when I’m out on the street… ;) Aiyah, little me just love the occasional mischief mah… or else I’ll be an old and boring dude like daddy… not interested in anything except money and his PCs…. hah!

Weight:
*pst**pst* I’m 10kg during my last standing on the scale… could be more but since the scale is not really working properly, I’m happy to maintain at this weight.
Height:
Let face it… little me only standing at 71cm… did I get that gene from mommy or who ah??? *hmmph*
Diaper size:
I’m not that fat lar just that my sexy thighs are a wee bit too muscular for my own liking.
Hence, mommy have to put on the XL size diaper so my little butties can have some airy room… if not, when I poo… those “cookies” will stuck to my butties ah! Sooooooo yuckky! (Ok, I know I must learn to like the potty and be a good boy and sit on it religiously every morning to avoid having “cookies” sticking on my butties)
Teeth:
I have 4 visible tooth leh! Not complaining though my set of whities are not the most perfect-yet… after all I’m only 10-month old mah! At least I can bite when mommy trying her many attempts to clean them!! She’s lucky I can’t chew yet or else there goes her finger!
Cloth size:
I’m out-growing most of my cute bear-bear rompers, tops and pants. Luckily daddy bought some bigger size ones during his last trip to US so I still have some decent looking covers when I go gai-gai. Believe it or not, I’m donning size for 18-24 months leh!
Diet:
Woooweee! This is my favourite section. For your information, I still like mommy’s milk and it is a must everytime I’m in foul mood coz that is the only thing I want when I don’t feel good, sleepy or unhappy. I need it to doze off too or I will get really voilent and will start banging my head against the wall!
(yea….I can go to that extreme… hehehe)
Besides the normal oat cereal with raisins I have for breaky now, mommy is giving me oat mixed with chopped peach or nestum and yogurt with rice pops… they taste soooo yummy!
For lunch and dinner, mommy will normally cook porridge with meat, fish or scallop and add some vege such as spinach, pumpkin and carrot. Recently she has been really adventurous and started me on pasta too. Of course I chomped them down without much fight…. unlike the time when she tried to push those jarred pear and mango puree into my mouth… only to make me screamed and cried in protest!
Speech:
Though I may only babble some unrecognisable words but I know my stuff. Like when mommy asked me about the bird, I will look out of the window and mumble ‘bbiirrdd’ repeatedly. When I’m travelling in daddy’s car I will babble non stop and kept repeating ‘caaaarrr’ as if the only word I knew. I have a plastic corn toy in the room and when daddy taught me to say ‘corn’ I can follow and said it too without much fuss. Ain’t I’m smart? hehehe Occasionally I will do like what normal kids my age do… babble the infamous “maaaamaaaabaaaabaaaa” that sounds like mumm-mumm (food) or mommy thought I’m calling her mama (hah! fat chance!). I have plenty of bear toys so is no surprise I know how to mutter “behh-behh-behh” when I see those. Sometimes I like to yak non stop too saying “dahdahdahdahhhhh”… not sure what it means but it came naturally… :P
Well, that was about it at the moment. Hopefully things will improve the next couple of weeks so I can place order for the food I want to eat when I’m in LA.
Motor Skill:
Well, well, little me knows how to transfer toys from one hand to the other now. I can even press-press those buttons on the calculator mommy let me play with. Those toys attached to my Bouncing-Baby are not my match anymore as I know how to press all the buttons, swing that lady hanging on the swing, move the guy that stick to the car, open the door on the house and press the bell and the doggie house too. All look so easy-pesy now as I’m getting more knowledgeable as the day goes…so don’t try me! hehe
I can spot tiny little stuff that lies on the floor, bed and everywhere and pick them up too! (mommy was so paranoid that I’ll swallow lizard’s poo any day now ever since she saw me flicking with ’stuff’ I discovered) Hey! I could be the future Sherlock Holmes leh! But mommy always think otherwise… she told poh-poh I’m the house’s new vaccum cleaner! *pout*
Mommy also tested me to see if I could pick my own food and feed myself and I proudly proofed it to her that her little man sure ’boleh’!
Though I still can’t hold the spoon, fork or chopsticks yet but I’m sure those are chicken feet stuff in no time…
I love to be on mommy’s bed… it’s the place where I can crawl about, do some gymnastic, go rolly-polly and play piggyback with daddy. Proud to annouce that I can crawl at a very fast speed too… almost 8/mpm (8 metres per minute)! However, there mustn’t be any stuff that get in my way or I’ll be too busy moving, shaking and banging it about that I’ll forget completely that I’m supposed to move forward!
Daddy taught me how to do the ^5 stinct and now I’m expert lioa. When I heard ‘give me 5 or high 5′ I will raise one of my hand and wait for yours to clap on mine…. ain’t I’m cool? Besides that, if you asked me to ‘taa-taa’ (beat-beat) I will beat my hands on yours too… this is gong-gong’s favourite coz I can do so well and respond real fast to that… been doing this since I was 4-month old…
Last but not least, I can use my butties to turn 360 degrees too… and of course climbling up and down at any chance I get.
Emotion:
Little me is a very direct kinda guy. If I’m happy I’ll show it with my smile and laughters that sometimes mommy thought I’ve gone nuts or something. That because I can start laughing for no apparent reasons when I’m in one of those jovial mood. Then if I’m really annoyed, like when daddy left me alone in the playpen (my little cage) to play his PC game or when mommy is too busy with her cooking or doing some other stuff, I will show my temper… I will scream, kick, wriggle and cries my lungs out to get their attention…. coz little me just wanna be carried and don’t wanna be alone!
Intelligence:
Don’t underestimate little me for I’m smarter than you thought!
Ever since I discovered that there are more stuff I can lay my hands on below the bed, I have came up with tricks so that little me can get down and play with those stuff. One of the tricks I will do is to throw some of my toys down and pretend to reach for them… and slowly crawl down… ;P
Also, I can recognise most of my toys when mommy ask me to reach for them… I know which one is Sponge Bob (the yellow guy holding the guitar), Patrick Star (the guy holding a butterfly net), my favourite pink rubber ducky, most of my water babies, at least those that mommy gave a name to it lah…Grapes (this one I loves to bite most when I’m up stairs in the room), Nuby (my colourful teether), Bear-bear bolster (the big bolster mommy just bought), Clown-are-cool (the stickers on my tubbler), Butterfly (those found on my pillow case), my Blue Elephant rattle, the Yellow Rabbit teether, the Mickey Mouse telephone rattle and… ok ok, the list can go on and on if I don’t stop here….phew~ did not realise that I have that many toys!
Don’t even think that I’ll go to you if you are sitting down! I will only glue to the person who are carrying me and walk about and of coz go out of the house lar… who wants to stay in the house and get rot rite???! Even little me knows the world outside is so much more interesting!
