Me In My Dress

I'm 11 months old today. Mummy & Daddy are thinking hard how to celebrate my first birthday in a month's time. One thing is for sure, I will get to eat cake for the first time! :D

Mummy says nowadays I use my finger to point at things from the time I wake up until I go to sleep... and saying 'ah' 'uh' 'ah..eh' and of course, my fav word 'tataya'.... :P I love to talk!!

Some pictures of me at Pearl Garden Resort.... no lah, it's Pearl Garden our apartment :) Mummy put me in this dress because she said I am going to outgrow it very soon. It's a nice dress Mummy got at a garage sale for free, and I'd worn it for 5 months already, Mummy says it's very worth it :P

Showing my four front teeth, fifth tooth out but not visible yet.

Under 'Shanna's Tree'. Everytime we get near this tree (coming from any direction), I start getting excited, kicking, pointing, talking hard. It's my favourite tree! Daddy & Mummy dunno why.....

Weekend meals

Beef & cabbage soup Japanese style


Shepherd's Pie.... yummy



Juicy grilled salmon



All cooked by Iron Chef Tim ;-) Usually accompanied with herbal chicken/lotus-peanut pork bone soup.

What do I cook? Shanna's porridge.

I cook for Shanna, Tim cooks for us. Nice arrangement :)

Back to our little girl. Some random pictures taken over last month, featuring Shanna on various modes of transport, and wearing some clothes given by Grandma (before she outgrows them).




Out gai-gai during the weekend. Shanna loves going out, which little kid doesn't?

All excited to be going to church

Out for a walk in the stroller with a flower in her hands (we love this stroller btw, it's reasonably light and has multi-recline!)

First Word!

Recently Shanna has been imitating sounds we make, such as when we say 'choo choo choo' (train), she goes 'tu tu tu tu'...

Today, she said 'keeerr' when shown a picture of a bear (I had been telling her that bears go Grrr).

Last Sunday, I fed Shanna papaya. As usual, I told her she was eating 'Papaya' clearly and slowly. She looked at me, and then said 'tataya'. She then smiled delighted at her new skill :) She said it a few times, each time she grinned happily after saying her 'tataya'. Her first real word. I was so proud of her! No video though, coz by the time we got the camera ready to film, the papaya was finished...

Here is a video of us playing ball though :)

My skills at 10 Months

1. I know where my tummy, toes, nose, mouth are.

2. I can self feed rusk, cracker, banana, and other fruits that Mummy allows.

3. I can crawl fast on my belly (Shanna style) and scuttle around on my behind :)

4. I rock my body anytime I like, whether there is music or not...

5. When Daddy Mummy says 'choo choo choo', I imitate the sound with 'tut tu tut tu'...

6. After I think I did something great, I will clap my hands... yay!!

7. I look at Mummy when I am not sure whether I can touch something. If Mummy gives me a look and says no, most of the time I will obey. If I persist, Mummy will clap her hands once and say 'no' firmly. Then I will crawl to Mummy and sayang her.... manja hor.

8. I love to kiss/sayang all my soft toys, my fav pictures, and also Mummy and Daddy when I'm in the mood..

9. I can play ball with Mummy/Daddy, rolling/throwing it back to them. Fun!

10. I play peekaboo with Mummy/Daddy using the curtain.

11. I said my first word yesterday :)

12. I sometimes manage to fit the shapes into the shape sorter.

13. I'm really interested in animals like cats, birds, rabbits...

14. I point/gesture to things I want or things I'm interested in.

15. When I want to go out, I start waving bye-bye.


Here's a video of my latest antics. Enjoy :)
