Row Row Row

Guess what are we doing?

Row! Row! Row!
We're rowing boats.
My idea at 15 months 1 week.
Am glad my korkor plays along with me.

"Row Row Row your boat" is my favorite song now and I can sing say "row row row"!

Usually, Mummy lies on the bed and sits me on her tummy then holds my hands while pulling them forward and back as she sings "Row row row your boat".

Check out the crocodile's version if you don't know it yet.

13 months old

Sorry! Have been neglecting my blog.
So here's a summary of my milestones:

Physical:

before I was 7 months old, I could already stand up by grabbing onto something.
Hence, My parents thought I would be able to walk before I turn one but I have other things on my mind.

can't remember when I started to cruise but this photo was taken when I was cruising at 10 months old.

and I finally started to walk on my own at 12.5 months.

This was my 1st birthday celebration at my Grandaunt's place.
The cake was decorated by my korkor and mummy.

by then, I can wave hi, goodbye and clap.


cognitive:

at one year old, I also started to appreciate books more and can be left alone to "read".


I love music and can follow instructions at music class such as "stop", "drum on the floor", etc.


Speech:

by 13 months, besides "papa" and "mama",
I can say "up", "star", "no", "hi", "bye", "来", "mum-mum" (means food), "nai-nai" (means milk) and the latest - "Hann!"

yup! the inspiration for this post is because my family is very proud of me for being able to say my korkor's name at 13 months old.
We absolutely adore each other!

Hann is a wonderful brother who takes care of me when my parents are busy.

mei 妹

My word of the day is "mei".

went out for lunch with my mummy's cousin and future cousin-in-law.
when the lady asked my mummy what's my name and how to call me, Mummy said, "meimei" and started asking me to say the word "mei".

and I did.
ha.
You should have seen the surprised look on Mummy's face.

mmmmma mmmmmpa

19 Jan 2011
7 months 10 days old

This evening, I surprised my parents by calling them -
mmm-ma
mmm-pa
mama
papa

Mummy wonders why I have to say "mmmm" 1st before saying "pa" cos "pa" doesn't start with the "m" sound.
Papa thinks it's because I use "mmm" to start off saying words.

Actually I start saying "mmm-ma" a few days ago but my parents weren't sure if I was really speaking or just making sound.

There was once I woke up in the morning and wanted to drink milk.
Mummy wanted me to crawl (actually more like wriggle) across the bed to her and I cried out, "mama! mama!"

well, this time they're sure I'm speaking.

the next morning, the moment I woke up and saw Papa, I called him,
"papa. papa"
