My separation anxiety

I finally get to understand what separation anxiety really is cos i experiencing it right now. It started 2 days ago. On sat, daddy drove me to grandma's house and when grandma picked me up from daddy, i cried. I wanted to follow daddy to work. Then it happened again this morning. Daddy drove mummy and me to grandma's house and when grandma carried me from mummy, i cried. I also wanted to follow mummy to work. In the past even when i saw daddy and mummy leaving after putting me at grandma's place, i don't even care. Sometimes i would even wave goodbyes to them. I guessed i'm older now and i am able to understand more things. I have always followed wither daddy or mummy around and i want to follow them everywhere.

Shopping at Ikea

Yesterday i went to Ikea Tampines with daddy, mummy and grandma. We had lunch at the Ikea Restaurant and it was packed with people. We waited for quite some time to get a table and waited even longer to find a baby chair. Daddy bought lots of food - chicken wings, salmon burger sets, spaghetti with meatballs and curry puffs. After lunch we went shopping at Ikea. I was so happy when mummy bought me to the kids corner. There are swings, pushcart and toys and i love to push the cart around. When it was time to go, i cried because i still want to continue pushing the cart around. Mummy had to distract me with something to stop my crying. Then daddy got the trolley and let me sit in it. It was fun and i start to feel happy again. After 1-2 hous of shopping, we left Ikea.

13 mths and beyond

At 13 months, i love to do the following:
1) Tilt my head to the side, smile and act cute
2) Shake my head when i don't want something
3) Babbling loads which both daddy and mummy couldn't understand
4) Opening and closing anything with doors (shoe cabinet, kitchen cabinets, wardrobe sliding door,etc)
5) Pressing the lift buttons
6) Getting in and out of bumbo seat by myself
7) Watch cartoon network
8) Climb all over daddy or mummy in bed
9) Snatch daddy's Iphone and mummy's itouch

Playgroup

I went to Caris and Chloe's playgroup at Kindercom today. Caris and Chloe seem to enjoy the class. There are mainly 3 groups of kids doing different activities. One group were singing and dancing along with the music, another doing art and craft work and a group playing with toys. The teacher also helped Chloe do her colouring by holding her hand and guiding her. I was crawling inside the room and was very happy and excited to see so many friends. I crawled to the group playing with toys and joined them. I was so engrossed in playing and didn't mind when 1 indian girl came over and touch me on my face. I was the youngest there and the kids ran up to me and tried to befriend me. Mummy saw that i was enjoying myself in the class and asked for more info from the teacher. However i'm still too young to join and i can't even walk steadily. Looks like the earliest is to wait till i turned 18mths.

Mini Me at Work

When mummy first bought the toy pony for me, i couldn't ride well. I will sit on it for less than 5 mins. Now that i'm older i appreciate the pony more, i can now ride it around the whole house.

After sending daddy off at the door for his soccer session, i decided to have some fun wearing mummy's sandals. In no time, i should be seen walking around the house in mummy's heels.

See? This is how you carry your handbag. I've been secretly observing how mummy carries her bags and tadah!! Do i carry my bag with style?

Fever Bug

It must be the eratic weather that made me sick. I was having runny nose on wed morning when mummy sent me to grandma's house. In the evening when she picked me up, my flu got worse. My nose was practically like a "running tap". I hate it when mummy tried to wipe my nose. I was feeling so uncomfortable that i didn't sleep well. I slept after 12 midnight and i woke mummy up several times from crying with my eyes closed. I was feeling miserable and mummy was also getting tired trying to coax me back to sleep. At 4plus, i woke mummy up again with my cries and she thought i could be hungry and made me some milk. After my milk, i didn't feel any better and was whining again. Then mummy realised i was feeling feverish and woke daddy up. As there was no fever medicine at home, daddy and mummy decided to bring me to TMC 24 hour clinic. We made our way to the hospital at 5am and reached home at 6.30am. By then i was so tired and i slept all the way home till 11am.

Birthday parties!

Today it a hectic day for mummy and me. We attended Yu-Qi and Claudia's 1st birthday parties at Jurong and Punggol. Daddy drove us to Yu-Qi's party. At Yu-Qi's party at Parc Oasis, there is a nice play corner with slide and see-saw. I went down the slide, it was fun and i kept crawling everywhere. Mummy was so tired pulling me back to prevent me from snatching Yu-Fei's toy and carrying me all around the function room to "entertain" me with the balloons. I saw Zachary and was so happy but he seems to forget me. He didn't respond to me when i talked to him. I kept reaching out to him but he just stay quiet. Well, maybe he will remember me later. After Yu-Qi's cake cutting ceremony, we rushed down to Claudia's party with Auntie E-wen and Zachary. We reached Claudia's place at 3.30pm and was just in time for the cake cutting ceremony. Phew! What a mad rush for us. Both Yu-Qi and Claudia's cake are Hello Kitty theme and they are so pretty and yummy. Auntie Sharon's house is really filled with toys. There are simply too many toys for me to discover and play with. I had a good time playing in the play room before daddy came to fetch us back home.
