My son can speak

Yes, baby Cola can speak quite a lot of words already.

He is 15 months old now. He can understand what I tell him most of the time. But it is the mama who cannot understand what he is talking about sometimes!

Incident #1
He wake up from 3 hours morning nap, it was already 1pm. It has passed his normal lunch hour. While letting him lazying in his cot, he suddenly requested for milk. I told him it was time for porridge. He repeated the word milk. I tried to persuade him to take porridge instead and his eyes started to turn red. Popo came over and looked at him. He turned his head away avoid seeing us or avoid us from seeing him.

Incident #2
I drove him to waipo's house. On the way, he told me what he saw like che che (car), bu-s, lorry/lorwie. Then suddenly he said something which I have no idea what it is and I have forgotten how he pronounced it now. I told him that I did not understand what he was referring to and he repeated it a few times. I had to apologise to him as I really could not figure it out.

Incident #3
I was on facebook. Baby Cola joined me and so I decided to show him his birthday photos I uploaded there. When he saw my sil and Bulat, he immediately called out mei-mei (kiu mei) and ko-ko. Then suddenly he pointed at the right side of the screen and said:"Fish". Yes, there is the fish image from FishVille - the latest game in facebook!

Incident #4
Outside Rock Road Seafood Restaurant, while waiting for ccw to park the car, baby Cola looked inside the restaurant and said:"Fish". Yes, he spotted the fish swimming inside the aquariums.

Incident #5
He played with ccw's credit card the other day, so I told him that it is credit card, and he managed to pronounce it as te-dit-KAD! So cute!

Incident #6
He stop from crawling on the floor, holding his palm up. He examined the dirt on it and said:"yi-yi"! You just need to clean it so that he can continue to crawl.

Nowadays, besides from ko-ko, he loves to call jiu-jiu and mei-mei too. He learns to say "bu yao" (don't want) instead of ngmoi in hakka now.

Over the weekend, I noticed "something" about baby Cola. My mom, lil moo moo (my youngest nephew), baby Cola and I were at the living room. Baby Cola was busy playing with Bulat's toys, I was chatting with my mom while watching tv and lil moo moo was enjoying his tummy time. Then lil moo moo had wet diaper, so my mom left lil moo moo and went into the room to take diaper. Baby Cola noticed my mom walked pass and turned to look at lil moo moo for a while, he decided to put down the toys and crawl towards lil moo moo. He then sit near to lil moo moo. I think he wanted to keep lil moo moo accomapnied while my mom was away. So, I told him to "sayang" di-di, he touched him gently on hand. When my mom returned, he continued to play with his toys! LOL. Then, got once when lil moo moo was placed in his play pen, baby Cola tried to play with him from the outside. He raised his voice and made funny sounds to "play" with lil moo moo. Just like how we (adult) cartoonise our voice while playing with babies, baby Cola is like a big boy doing all these. So sweet of him.

What other things he knows how to
Do the actions of washing hands and brushing teeth.
Greet people by doing "give me five".
Standing without holding for 1-2 minute.
Walk a few step with either side of his arm is grabbed.
Put the spoon into mouth. But I have yet to let him feed himself.
Pour water into a pail.

It is another family day!

I love to see all our relatives gather together inside the house, squeezed like sardine fish in a can! ;p

I love my red nails!

I scan through my handphone, I only took photo of the wedding cake done by my cousin's wife and daughter-in-law.

Happy Wedding! =)

Empty SMS

Last night, baby Cola played with ccw's handphone and accidentally send out sms to a group of friends.

One of them told me about the empty SMS this morning. So I explained to her that it is a love letter from baby Cola actually. But he has yet to go to school and he does not know how to spell "I love you".

And she replied: It is the heart that matters.

The whole thing becomes so sweet.

iLASIK or Spectacles?

To tell the truth, I still cannot make up my mind. Should I go for iLASIK procedure to correct my eyesight or not? Two of my friends went for the iLasik procedure recently. They do not need to wear spectacles anymore. How I wish I could be like them. However, I am still indecisive; I need more courage to go for it.

14 months +

Hehee...No more monthly record for baby Cola, will update from time to time. ;p

Baby Cola has completed the series of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) this month. *cheers*

He is now 10.4kg. *cheers* Dory kept asking how long can I carry him, I think the answer would be as long as required. No choice...I hope he learn to walk soon!

He is 78cm, if I remember it correctly.

He moves his body when he listen to music. :)

He can speak quite a lot of words already like xia yu (raining), fei ji (plane), suo shi （keys）， bobok(toys), etc.

We can communicate better now. He will point at the toys and nod his head to tell me that he wants me to get it for him. He will sit down and wait for me to get the toy for him when I told him to. Also, if we ask him whether he want something, he will reply us "oi" (yes in Hakka) or "ngmoi" (no in Hakka).

He is always a darling when I place him in his car seat while driving him out alone.

He refuses to call me. :((((

Baby Cola's first trip

He was excited and curious in the plane.

What's at the back?

What's in front?

He only cried a little bit when the plane started to land. I wonder he had a nightmare or painful ear.

Tired but still looked cute when reached my bro's house at midnight.

The rest of the trip, he behaved very well. Took his afternoon nap either in car, inside his stroller, or in bed without much problem. At first, I still worried that he need "sarung"!
Bulat and baby Cola spent most of the time together.
Baby Cola kept calling "ko-ko" every now and then even when they were inside different cars, he would turn back and look at the car behind then told me where his "ko-ko" was.

But no, they are not as "brother" as you think. They fought for toy! *faint*

When we went shopping, if baby Cola spotted this type of trolley, with a cab attached, he would for sure point at it and ask for riding in it. He loves it a lot. He thought he can drive. Quick people, the shopping malls in Kuching do not have this type of trolley yet! Business is here! ;p

Then, I also asked my 2nd sil to arrange an appointment with one of the studio in Penang to take photo for baby Cola. Personally, I think the package is cheaper than what I can find at Kuching. Later, I found that the studio has a lot of toys and baby costumes which cannot be found at any studio at Kuching (or I did not survey enough?). So, people, another business idea for you. The RM238 package include a 5R album with 13 photos, 1 A4 size poster, 1 bag with baby Cola's photos printed on it and a 8R photo. I added RM50 for 2 family photos included into the 5R album.

At Ipoh, baby Cola got the chance to get up the stage for the first time on my bro and dory's wedding reception. He must be too shy and refused to say out Yum-Teng in front of the guests. Baby Cola fell asleep during the dinner, so we did not have any photo with my bro and dory. *Sad* Dory looks very pretty that night!
I simply love this photo. Baby Cola looked like a big boy who can walk already but ...

Another first time for Baby Cola - swimming. Baby Cola actually refused to get into the pool at first as the water is cold. He shivered and told us "ng-moi" which means don't want in hakka. Slowly, he got excited and played happily inside the pool. we even tried to let him swim by holding his underarms and let him do the kicking. He did it quite well.
That is the end of the trip. We are now looking forward to the wedding reception held at Kuching this month.
