The Li'l One

To my Li'l one,

Here are the things you like as of this age:

1) BOOks - You love to let Amma or Appa read you a story before you sleep. Before you lie down on the bed, you get your favorite book and say " Book! Book!" which means you want us to read for you. But then reading would only take a few minutes as you would then start to disturb Amma by flipping the pages all by yourself.

2) Trucks, Tractors, Trains .. and all sort of vehicles. - You shout " Truck" whenever you see a crane, truck, cement mixer.. then BUS and Eplane ( airplane) you just get so excited when you see these things!

3) Balls - Bo! for you. Everytime you see one you want one.. at one time you surprised AMma and Appa when we went to the shop and you pitifully said, " Buy Bo!".. even if that voice and face was too pitiful to refuse..but we had to. Why? Because you already have more than 6 balls in the house!

4) Kisses- Oh, you just love to kiss and be kissed.. you melt Amma's heart everytime you kiss my cheeks and lips... so lovable boy!! ..but don't kiss girls when you grow up ha? LOL!!

5) Hi-5 and Brainy Babies- These are the shows that you can sit still and watch. You're not so interested with Dibo the Gift Dragon or Handy Manny in Disney PLayhouse. But sad to say, our Brainy Babies DVD is broken..and our Hi 5 DVD is in THailand. But good thing they're showing hi 5 in NTV every 10am.

6) Giggles - You just love to giggle when being tickled esp.by your Tata.. then there was once, you 'otot' ( farted) so loud , you got surprised with the sound and end up giggling the whole time.. So cute!

I think that's all for now my Li'l one.. You're indeed a blessing for us ..You and your Ate Tricia just gives joy to our hearts.

To my Li'l One,

You've grown so fast and I'm so amused by how fast you're picking up words now. You understand a lot of things too. Amma is glad that now you can say, Yes! everytime we ask you something. Of course, No! No! is still an overused word for you especially when we ask you to do something you don't like.

You now have big words too like " heavy" when you carry something heavy, " touch", " a tree" , " itsy" ( itchy) and etc. But some words you still have a hard time pronouncing like " labu" ( I love you), mimik ( milk), yide ( ride), wo wo ( water) and etc., but that's okay in due time you can pronounce those words properly and be a future chatter box like you Ate Tricia.

But the cutest thing you do now is when you pray.. When we ask you to pray you seriously do and say " Maa Moo Miii.. Maaa Mooo Miii.. Maaa Mooo Miii.. amen!" LOL!! I have to get a video of you praying like that.

Okay I got to go now,

love,
Your Amma

To my Lil One,

Oh, I have to tell you that you went to Myanmar with you Appa, Amma, Ate Tricia last month. We thought that it'll be a difficult trip with you and Ate but we thank God that it was a pleasant trip.

You love to be inside the "eh-plane" (airplane) and always get excited when you see one. When it's time to take off, you do your cheer " yehey!" and wave bye bye to everyone and everything outside. Yes, you were quite a noisy passenger.

When we were in Yangon, you were extremely overjoyed to see all the children, Akka's and Annehs. Everyone of them loved you too and wanted to carry and hold you. You never refused their offer and ended up being carried by all the Akkas and Annehs' about 50-60 of them. You just love them and even wanted to stay with them and refused to go back to Amma and Appa.

So, that was your first trip outside Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines.


Love,

Your Amma

Dear Li'l one!

You're officially 8 months old now..actually yesterday marked your8th month. I still have to take a picture of you tomorrow.

You continually surprise us with your new stunts everytime you complete your month you know. So, today you showed off AMma and Appa that you could stand without support for awhile! We didn't expect you to do that. Appa and amma were just lying on the bed and playing with you. You were just crawling at first..but then you tried to stand up using Appas body for support..while we were just chit chatting, you just suddenly let go of your hand! I didn't notice that at first and it was your Appa who exclaimed , "Looook, what he's doing!..He's standing on his own!".... And I saw you did! Then you fell down...hahaha! That was just a few seconds but you're sure on your way to so-called 'independence'.

Here are the other things you do:

• You like to say, "ka..ka..ka"...I think you like to call your ate Tricia Akka and not Ate.
• You like to eat cereals.
• You like to go outside for our afternoon walks..and everytime we come back home you cry and point your hand out.
• You can sit steadily and enjoy playing with your toys in the crib.
• You love to watch the puppet in "Baby Einstein" and everytime you see it. You just giggle..so cute!
• more..to come..
