Speak Development

Was trying to spend some time to update Bryan 11 months development, but…… aih….. I even missed out Bryan 10 months development last month due to my work.

I have about 1 hour free every night, but I prefer to sleep more or relax or do some massage as my backache really killing me these days.

I hope I can update it partially everyday now. Hehe… what a lazy mom here :p…

Let’s start with Bryan’s speaking development. He calls “mama” when he was 6 months, maybe you can read here in details.

Disappointedly, the second word he called wasn’t daddy or papa, but “meh meh”, which mean scold in Hokkien. Haha… This is due to the Uncle (husband of baby sitter) speak hokkien with Bryan. Whenever Uncle is carrying my little boy and touch anything that we are not allow to, for example fan, cable, TV, specs, keys, dust bin etc, Uncle will tell him “Aunty meh”. This is how he learnt the “meh” (Scold in Hokkien) and he can pronounce it clearly when he was 8 months.

One of the incidents, which I can recall well, was during Chinese New Year. My dad, Bryan’s gong gong was carrying him with his specs hanging on his shirt. Bryan pointed at the specs and say “meh meh”! He was telling my dad he will be scolded if he took the specs. Haha…..

Finally, he called his daddy, papa! My hubby *require* Bryan to call him papa instead of daddy. So I just teach him call papa. I will keep repeating call “papa papa papa papa……” when he caught up the pronunciation; he calls everything “papa” including me! I had to correct him to call me back mama and it took weeks. ~.~

Enjoy the video below, where Bryan kept calling “papa” after he saw his papa photo in my mobile.

This incident showed that “papa” cannot be lazy on teaching your son to call you. No one you can assign to teach your baby to call your own name. I hope my husband learnt this lesson and I definitely won’t do this mistake for my second baby.

*wah… so fast imagine about my second baby liao! Frankly speaking, I hope to have second one soon ^_^*

He will try to imitate some words when he read his books and watched TV. For example: Dad, Butterfly (but), banana (ba). These are the only words I remember. Or just the only three ^_^

First WALK

Yeah! Bryan made his first walk on 16^th May 2010, on his 10 months + 3 weeks + 6 days! It’s a great milestone for him!

This was the first time I saw him walk, so not manage to take any photo or video yet :p…

The story started like this…. I was sitting on the floor folding clothes beside the cabinet in our dining hall. My boy was cruising along the cabinet and tried to open the cabinet door. He likes to open the cabinet door and knew that I will scold him as well. But he still wanna try! The good thing from Bryan is, whenever he wanna do something, which is prohibit, he will look at me in an innocent way. Wait for me to stop him or say “NO”. Does he do it on purpose? Or testing me? Hahaha…

So I just kept an eye on him and my hands were folding clothes.

Out of the sudden, he let go and stood alone and walked towards me! Merely 3 steps! I counted it! Merely 3 steps. But it bright up my day ^_^

For the following hours, I was carrying my camera, hope he can make another steps. Result = 0 ~_~

After one week, he didn’t walk at ALL! Not even a step! My hubby was doubt on me, said I was day dreaming that time! NO, NO, NO! I really saw him walked towards me on last Sunday!

Or………………….

I just day dreaming???????????????????????

One month shy of his First Birthday!

Can’t wait the day to come, 30 days to go……

I am not planning to have a BIG party for him but just three of us with a cake. I love cakes, definitely I will buy a cake for his first birthday and the following years of birthday I can make it for him. Bryan first birthday is fall on Saturday (^_^), what a coincidences, so we will celebrate on the actual day.

My plan is…… I will bring him to Botanical Garden for morning walk, and then we will go for breakfast, dim sum maybe. After breakfast, back home, take a shower and 1 hour nap for him. Hmm… When he is sleeping, it’s the time for me to prepare for his lunch, yet to decide what to cook for his lunch on his first birthday. Then we will take out the cake, sing birthday song, blow off candles & cut the cake! Of course, we will take a lot of pictures and videos. Muahahaha……

This is just my planning :p… Maybe my husband will give us some surprise?!?!?!
