Yes/No

I am almost 1.5 years old but not yet really can talk yet. I do make sounds like a sentence but no one understand.

I just learnt how to nod my head to express 'yes' and shake my head to say 'no'. In the past few weeks, I have confusion on using of the above. Shaking my head is much easier than nodding so no matter what my mom and dad ask me, I just reply with the easier sign I know.

Today, dad reinforce the association of 'yes/no' with 'nod/shake' by giving/not giving the toy I want and I quickly figure out the right message I need to send out. Although my effort to make my nod is much bigger than shaking my head, I do express myself correctly.

Hair cut

I did my first hair cut today.

I have some luck

I got a letter addressed to me today.  This is the first time received a letter.  The interesting part is I won a lucky draw price.  What kind of lucky draw I have been participated?  It is from the travel insurance that Mom bought for me.  Dad took his annual leave on June and we have had a family trip to Singapore.  On that trip, we all bought travel insurance and I am the lucky one :-)

Vocabulary

Sounds I can pronounce:

A lot but no real meaning.  I have been mimicked a sentence with 15+ syllables.

Sounds (of toys) I can understand but cannot pronounce yet:
Gok Gok Gai (Chicken)
Moomin Ma Ma
To To (Rabit)

燈燈

I started to making different sounds together to mimic a talking but not yet can I say a real word yet.  Though, I do understand few words now and give consistant respond when I heard those 3, 4 key words.  For example, when I heard 燈燈 (light), I would raised my index finger and point to the brightess light source around.

Caritas Bazaar

This is the first time I have been to Caritas Bazaar. This week is in the Kowloon side. Dad will take me to the Hong Kong Island side one next week. After the event, we went back to Grand Ma's home near by to have family dinner.

From Caritas Bazaar

Saturday Evening

I went to My Gym with Samantha and watched her playing their. Then we went to a resturant in the same building and Mom ate a creature called crab there. After dinner, Mom and Dad take us to LKF and we saw a lot of people in funny costumes. It is the Halloween night, they said.

I can flip

Finally, I can flip over my body.  This technique add me a new dimension of locomotion.  The next skills I am acquiring is moving slidding backward.

Catching up

I start to playing my toe.  Pretty soon, I would be able to do the toe tasting like my elder sister.

Vaccination

Took the Vaccine today.  I cried a bit during the shot.  I did the 2nd-month vaccination 2 months ago.  This is the 4th-month vaccination and the next time I need to be back to take the shot again is 2 months later when I am 6 months old.

Start to have fever at night.

My body weight is 6.1 kg which indicate I catch up a bit in terms of growth.

Half Turn

Some babies at my age can flip their body on bed by themselves.  I cannot do that yet.  The closest point I reached today is when Dad put me on the ground with face facing down, I accidentally turned myself to have my face facing up.  This experiment cannot be repeated yet though.

First time in touch with the ocean

This evening we went to Stanley beach with Uncle Arthur and her daughter Kirsten. Mom took me to feel the sands and the sea water. This is the first time in get intact with the ocean.

3 months old

I am 3 months old now.  I can use my eyes to track objects, such as camera.  Not yet can I flip over my body though.

Lunch with Jacinta

Today we went to Element to have lunch with Dad’s friend Jacinta, Kelly and Uncle William.  Dad got Jacinta’s request of writing more on my blog.

After lunch, we join auntie Carrie and anutie Eva to go to Science Museum.  I have no knowledge of science at all and I only sat there looking at Samantha, Calista and Haley playing around.

We came back to Element to have dinner then went home.
