I started walking around the age of 10 months and according to my mom, I am an early walker. My brother started walking about 12-months old and gee, I am happy to be an early one. I teeth earlier too.

I used to love food...yes, FOOD in general. Anything edible, I like. But now that my personality is shining through, I prefer some food better than some. Those I don't like, I will stick my tongue out while being fed and throw the food out of my mouth. I like the reaction I get too cause my mom and kakak will throw a fit when I do that!! He he he.

I understand simple instructions like 'sit down', or 'eat this' and 'put here'...etc. I normally will obey those orders when I am in a good mood. Other times, I put up a mild fight. Usually, I am a happy baby. I laugh, and like to clap. When I see those prayer boards, I will actually try to get down on my knees and pray! My mom has a fit when she sees that cause I can be really cute when I do that.

My speech is getting better too cause I am saying more words now. Well, they're not actually words yet but it's close. Yesterday, mommy thought she heard me say "Mommy". I don't know if that was what I said but from the way my mom looked at me when I said it, I am sure I made her day!

I like to go outside too (see picture on left) and when I see my shoes, I will take the shoes, go to mommy or kakak and then sit down. I look at them, expecting the shoes to automatically slip onto my feet. If they don't, my mommy or kakak had better start wearing them for me because if I don't, I am going to protest.

I was born a little on the normal side. Weight was about 3.55 kg and wasn't too big a baby but who would've guessed that by my fourth month, I surpassed the weight of my cousin brother, Yi Xian (who happens to be 2 whole months older than me)?? Who would've guessed, indeed.

However, in the recent months, I am starting to slow down on my weight gain now. I am starting to eat solids more and am actually enjoying the food sometimes. I blow bubbles into the cup of soup and spit the food out to get kakak's engine revving something but otherwise, I take my food quite well.

For the record, I am a shrieker....a hollerer, a shouter or basically, I like to scream a lot. I like to make my thoughts known to others around me, and I give my opinion freely....whether my opinion has been asked for or not. When sitting in the excersauzer, I like to scream for attention or sometimes, I shout REALLY loud just to see my mom bounding down the stairs, knocking over vases or chipping her toenail. Kakak also runs out of the kitchen, sometimes armed with a raw chicken thigh too. I like the reaction.

Only yesterday, we went to Twinkles for some fun. During mealtime, I dropped the spoon, the bowl, the cup holder, the biscuits, the frenchfry, the bottle cover, the hankerchief, the tissue paper, the fork and the bowl on the floor just to see my mommy pick it up again. It's really fun and I recommend this activity to all growing babies like me.
