The weather is warming up... will it last?

This past week was the Chinese Lantern Festival. This year is the year of the rat(mouse) which is also the year that mommy was born. Hahaha- mom's a rat.

Anyways, i've started babbling in one on one sessions with mom. It's pretty cool cuz I can say ba ba ba ba ba and ma ama ma ma ma. Mommy keeps saying Dada Dada Dada or Daa dee Daaa dee and I keep trying to correct her but its not working.

Saturday had fun. Ama, mommy and me went to Costco and I tried some pizza dough- yummmy but later in the afternoon mommy gave me a rice cracker and I was a little too over excited and bit my way through it in seconds, which kinda made me choke and then i threw up all my milk onto the sofa, momma's beds sheet and our clothes.

That night I didn't want to drink any formula except water. Mamazee told mommy it could be cuz i was scared- I think she is right.


Sunday morning, I was still a bit afraid and would only eat some apple and bananas rice cereal. Mom being mom got way too anxious and called Asung to ask if we could come over and see if she fed me formula if I would drink it.


I was up for it cuz I love going to Asung's but on the way we stopped of at a doctor's office and he rudely shoved this stick in my mouth. He said I didn't have a sore throat and that babies go through periods of not eating. See mom!! Nothing to worry about! Oh and I also got weighed and my height measured. I'm now 9.5kg and 74cm. Mommy thought I was longer but its only cuz I have long legs and whose fault is that??


Gong Gong called after the doctor's visit so we went to pick him up. He's great and I love leaning towards him for him to hold me. I'm pretty cautious now and will look for a few minutes before I let just anyone hold me but Gong Gong is ok.


Then we went to Asung's and just to be cheeky, I lay on the floor, with my head on the pillow and happily drank most of my formula to mom and dad's chagrin.


The weather got really nice and its was hot so we decided to take in the last day of the Lantern Festival near our place at the Shiang Shang Park on wenshin.


Here are some pics of me but we look pretty small cuz those lanterns are reallly big!!!

It was a bit sunny that day so I'm squinting alot but Gong Gong managed to get a picture of me smiling.

Then later in the afternoon had a nap with mommy.

Now, i'm eating just fine.

Last night had a funny sleep. Couldn't seem to find a comfy position at around 3am and kept rolling around and turning over so mommy put me in my Grobag and then I slept much better.

Last night, Gong Gong came over and played with me while mom talked to daddy on the phone. He even fed me apple and banana rice cereal and I just sat quietly beside him and watched TV with him for a while. Guess my attention span is getting longer.

I'm at Asung's now having fun so gotta go crawling and get into mischief.

Oh and I forgot to mention, if ya hold my hand, I can walk about 20 steps or more.

See ya! Ethan
