I went swimming

daddy and mommy brought me for my first swimming today. but i was nervous though, i clasp my two hands together so that i won't drown. even though the auntie there, daddy and mommy kept telling me to relax and be a brave boy, i still feel insecure floating in the middle of the tub alone. Initially i am still ok...




but after a while.....

anyway, i tell you hor.. swimming is really a tiring and hungry exercise for me. immediately after the swimming, i fnished one whole bottle of milk...and now i am soundly asleep... mommy hope that i can finally sleep through the night after a tiring day...keep her finger crossed.

FINALLY i can flip on my own

today i made a huge milestone in my growth, i FINALLY can flip on my tummy on my own. Mommy is relieved cos many babies at 4mths plus can flip on themselves already, and I am oredi 5mth plus.

but but... i've been trying hard for the past few weeks. maybe cos of my big size, i always got stuck at the butt... then mommy or wai po have to give me a little push then i can flip... today after my two hours of beauty sleep, i finally gathered enough energy to flip on my own. the first time, daddy was shocked... and called out to mommy. since mommy missed the first time, she flipped me back, then i did it again... mommy was totally pleasantly surprised.

first trip to the airport

today, mommy and daddy brought me to the new T3 cos wai po and wai gong are going to Shanghai for one week. we are sending them off as well as to explore the new T3. I am going to miss wai po cos no one to carry me to "orh orh".

T3 is really huge and spacious and i am curious abt the new surroundings. Hope mommy and daddy can bring me more often.

see ma, i am ready to eat solids!

After hearing so many May08 babies started eating semi-solids, I am also eager to try and telling mommy by showing I am interested in whatever she eats during meal time. So finally, this morning, wai po made me sit on her lap, and mommy scoop a bit of porridge water from the bowl to let me try. hmm….tastes differently from my usual milk…so maybe I only took a bit then see how. Then mommy scoop a bit more. Uhmm… it doesn’t taste that bad… so maybe I drink a bit more….mommy put the spoon near my mouth again, I opened my mouth and this time, I find the porridge water tastes quite nice actually and I drank all on the spoon. When mommy took the spoon away and told me there is no more, I wailed “ mommy, I want more!” so mommy gave in and scoop a bit more to feed me. After I drank and realized there is no more, I screamed again”mommy, I am hungry, and I want more!”

mommy told me once I go for my jab next week and the doctor give the green light for me to start semi-solids, she will let me try all the nice food that she is eating… sound exciting… I can’t wait for the next week to come! But wait, I dun want to get “tuk” again.

mommy, spend more time with me!

It’s another quarter end closing and mommy has to work late again. So she missed a lot of my achievements during the day which mommy is very sad abt it. By the time mommy reaches home, I am oredi in my lala land. And in the morning, she has to rush to get ready to work and has no time to even carry me. So now I only recognize my wai po and the auntie (aka the maid) who are with me all the time during the day. Daddy and mommy become vague strangers who Mommy is very sad about this and seriously consider switching to a less taxing job so that she has more time to spend with me.

As i am getting more curious about my surroundings, mommy also realized now is the time to start me with some brain development activities. Actually mommy is already quite slow liao. I know some of my baby friends in the May baby forum oredi started long long ago.

my new toy! leapfrog counting pal...

I can hold my head high

The other achievement I have achieved during the 4th mth is tat I can lift up my head high when put on the tummy. Initially, i was quite lazy to do so when mommy flip me on my tummy, i would knock on the mattress instead. Or not moving at all. If after some time, i would start screaming if mommy doesn't flip me back. in fact after she does so, i feel so tired that i actually start panting.. hahahha but these few days, when i am on tummy, i can lift up my head and look around.

i am curious to explore the surroundings.

Wai po tried to make me sit.
