9 months and growing...

He started standing and crusing at 8mths 1wk old, and cut his 2 bottom teeth at 9mths old. So it was in deed teething which cause him to have a little bit of stuffy nose and fussy with eating and drinking at times.

I can stand on my own with some support 




I love to play and laugh



I'm a very sweet boy you know

Pictures of the boy on his Doraemon tricycle

Couldn't resit buying this Doraemon tricycle when I was in Seoul earlier this month.  I was at the toy wholesale market and there were just soooo many toys to buy!! In the end, decided to get something which I can't get it in Singapore and which he would use. And yes I lugged this and another hello kitty skate scooter onto the airport bus and checked into the plane successfully.

The boy's development has been pretty fast as compared to his older sis.  He started pulling himself to standing position just a few days before he turned 9 months and now he's also started to cruise in his playpen and cot.  He's sitting comfortably better and can sit at the play area to play with the toys.  He's been talking alot to himself lately and just the other day I thought he called his sister when she walked into the house from school- I heard " Te Te" i.e. "jie jie". He loves to eat what we're eating and he will get really excited when he see us holding something to eat. So we've been giving him his happybellies puff which trains his pincer grip and after a while he can now hold and place it in his mouth. And finally his bottom 2 teeth have cut through- no wonder he has been having stuffy nose and eating less.
