My Eye Serum!!!!!

Half bottle of my eye serum was applied on my little cheeky boy thigh last night!!!!!

Just my little boy with me were at home last night. He was reading flipping his books, flashcards etc while I was bathing. After bathing, he will pass me my skin care one by one according to the sequence I told him. When I have finished, my little boy showed me hand sign for "milk". So I straight away heading to kitchen check on the expressed breastmilk that I put in warmer, WITHOUT keeping my skin care!

When I back to bedroom, I saw my little boy still sitting on my bed, with his back facing the entrance I can't see what was he doing. I went nearer, this little fella, left hand holding my eye serum, right index finger was dipping inside the bottle and applied on his thigh slowly!

"W-H-A-T A-R-E Y-O-U D-O-I-N-G?"

Again, he looked at me with his "innocent face"! This little cheeky fella manage to twist open the bottle. Luckily he didn't pour out, but use his little index finger, if not whole bottle of eye serum GONE!!!

I was so SAD, really SAD, sat on the bed, looking at the bottle. I didn't scold him but pretended to cry! He was STUNNED to see mommy crying! This is the first time he see mommy cry! After a while, he started to frown, moved closer to me, hold both of my hands, which were covering my eyes (I was pretending to cry with hand clearing the tears ma =p....) & KISS ME, KISS AGAIN & AGAIN.

I can't pretend anymore and started to smile back to him. He SMILE & HUG me tight! Then I started to tell him that he can not open all my skin care, can't play with them.

Aih...... What to do? Already wasted. Hope he will understood what mommy told him last night loh.

Regarding the eye serum, I just bought it last Saturday =( Went to KL 2 weeks ago, my sister advice me shall start to apply eye serum to prevent wrinkles. I seldom spend much on skin care, I use whatever brand that can be bought from Jusco or Tesco. This is the first eye serum I bought and cost me RM 138 with only 30gm. Ended up, half was on my little boy thigh and washed away by mommy.

One more to mention here, this little cheeky boy is good in opening any lid, mineral water, milk bottle, emulsion etc. He is VERY GOOD in twisting!

Mommy is ANGRY!

Hubby had to back office for a conference call last night, so I quickly took my shower before he left. He was playing with my little boy while I was bathing. After shower, my little boy showed the hand sign of "book". So we remain in my bedroom reading.

After a while, he showed the hand sign of "milk". So I heading kitchen to warm up the expressed breastmilk for him. I saw a breastmilk bottle on the dining floor, another in my little boy's bedroom, with all the lid scattered.

Here started our conversation:-

Mommy Psedornna: "Why you play with the breastmilk bottle?"
My little boy: *showed his innocent face* & said "papa"
Mommy Psedornna: "Papa gave you the bottle?"
My little boy: *hand sign - YES*
Mommy Psedornna: "Why you didn't keep all the bottles after play?"
My little boy: *hand sign - SORRY*
Mommy Psedornna: *chuckle, he automatically say sorry to mommy* "pick up all the bottles & lid and pass to mommy!"
My little boy: *stunned*
Mommy Psedornna: "mommy is angry if you do not pick up all the bottles & lid and pass to mommy!"
My little boy: started picking up bottles & lids in the dining area & bedroom and passed to mommy
Mommy Psedornna: *chuckle* *chuckle* *chuckle*
My little boy: "mama" when passed me the last lid.
Mommy Psedornna: "thanks my dear, that's mommy good boy by keeping all the things after played."
My little boy: *hand sign - MILK*
Mommy Psedornna: "your milk is ready, let's go into your room."
My little boy: *hold my hand and walk into his bedroom, climbed up to his single-bed, got his pillow and bolster in position, laid down and drink his milk.

First of all, I would say, I am glad that my little boy "understood" what we told him and he will follow our instruction to do so.
Second is, I don't think he will pick up the bottle but start to fuss / whine if I didn't say "Mommy is angry"

* The photo is my little boy expression of - innocent. He will show this face expression to me when he knew that he did something wrong / bad*

16th Months Development - Part III

Hahaha.... Never ending of the 16th months development ^_^

Just wanna share with you all a little bit more about my little cheeky boy growth development.

My little boy is more independent now. He can do most of the things by himself now.

• He eats by himself; SOME TIME. Even though quite messy, still need the help from us most of the time, but I can say he improved a lot compare to previous months.

• He sleeps in his room; no longer co-sleeping with mommy but alone on the single bed in his room. But mommy still worries a lot, sleep on the floor beside his single bed after he asleep.

• He drinks from bottle; I have no longer nursing him since 3 week back, but let him drink from the bottle. Started to drink milk powder once a day and I still pumping breastmilk everyday but slowly reduce the amount every day now.

Been a long long time didn't see my little boy holding the bottle & drink the milk by himself. Recalled me one of his video on his 4th months, early in the morning, my hungry boy grab the milk bottle from me. ^_^ watch the video here.

• He is mommy GOOD HELPER; watch his video here & here. I knew that I have been repeating this for months. Haha... Indeed he is really my good helper so far. Not only does his part but help on mommy house chores. Been trying to jolt down all the things he helps me, but seems to be a LOnGgggg list. Argh..... Forget about it. Anyway, he helps me a lot ^_^ (lazy mommy)

• He is expert in pincer grasp; He used his index finger & thumb wisely since 7 months. Watch the video below where he used his pincer grasp to take the biscuit from me ^_^

• He eats cheerios by himself; I will put some cheerios in a bowl and he will enjoy the cheerios in front of the TV of his favourite Barney show.

This little boy was holding his bowl with cheerios, walking toward to the sofa. Carelessly, he found that he dropped one of the cheerios on the floor. ^_^

• He follows my instruction; He will help mommy to complete some simple task when I requested. I think this is the stage of toddlers. I utilize his curiosity to help me to do my task as I knew that he will be lazy to do it when he grows up later.

• He goes toilet himself; Well, he is a boy, we train him to poo in the potty but wee by standing in the washroom. We are not expecting him to wee into the toilet bowl. Too HIGH for him now =p... After all, he will spray his urine by himself. Ya, we knew he likes to play with water. This is just because he is playful, not purposely wash /spray away his urine. For me, as long as he willing to do that, I am happy. Hahaha...

Look at his face emotion! He uses a lot of strength to spray out the water! Not easy for him ler! ^_^ cute face expression! I quickly took my camera to snap, but have to zoom in for my camera "safety". It is not waterproof ^o^

Neighbour

Herewith some photos of our neighbour with baby around my little boy age. Of course there are more than I know. But... Mommy is too SHY to talk to them. Thought of the opportunity comes when my boy started to walk. Thought of my little boy will start to approach those toddlers, so that mommy can start a conversation with them.

Yet, this little boy just SHY like mommy. Whoever new to him, he will just stunned there, dare not to step forward. Ended up, just three neighbours here.

It's fate that I quite close with the little girl's mommy; the 2 photo on below. She was born 1 day after my little boy in a same hospital ^_^ Both of us speak cantonese, which make me feel closer with her. She is very nice & friendly. No doubt she is a good mommy! She will bring her little princess walk around the swimming every Saturday & Sunday! No missed at all! My little boy likes her and don't feel SHY to walk toward her, shake hands with her and hugs her!

While the little boy of the photo on the right with the kiddy motor bike is a Vietnamese. Due to his father is working in here, they stay here since 2 years ago. He is exclusive breastfeeding! Maybe is about breastfeeding, we got more topic to talk. ^_^

While the handsome boy of the photo on top was taken a few months back. His daddy from UK, mommy is Malaysian Indian. He is so handsome and the eyes are so adorable! Just met him once while their parents were back to Malaysia for a 2 weeks of holiday.

I really hope that I can overcome my shyness and get to know them more. As I know their toddlers are about my son age. I do hope my little boy has more friends & neighbours to play with when he grows up. SAD to look at his loneliness.

Active Toddler

My little boy was SOOooo ACTIVE for the past 2 nights!

His used to sleep around 915pm, but 30 minutes delay for the past 2 nights! What was he doing? Walking around the house, flipping his books, ask mommy to read for him, took out the flash card & showed mommy his hand sign on the animals etc......

Till he really tired and dozed off in less than 5 minutes after he laid down on his bed!


My dear Bryan,

Mommy is glad that you are growing up healthy & active!
Mommy will dance & hop together with you whenever you want.
Your activeness showed that you are healthy and happy!
Your activeness alert mommy that its time for me to do some exercises with you to burn my fat.
Mommy allow you to play around even over the sleeping time.
Hope that you will dozed off & sleep soundly over the night.

~~~LOVE U~~~

Apple Lover

My little cheeky boy was superb LOVELY last night ^_^ Again. Yes, again! After he kissed early in the morning & while I read for him.

Story began when my little boy asked for "apple" after his dinner last night. As I mentioned in previous post, my little can "talk" well using baby hand sign before he can "talk". He walked into the kitchen, showing me the hand sign for "apple". I took an apple out from the basket, passed him a bowl, which he will placed it on the coffee table. Then, he stood beside me waiting for me to peel off the apple. He can finished a quarter of an apple!

After he was satisfied with the apple, he took a quarter of an apple & fed me! His little finger hold tight with the apple, fed me one bite after another! My little boy so SWEET!

These photo taken when he was 10 months, craved for APPLE after his cereal.

He likes apples since he was 10 months, even though he didn't has any teeth that time.

In fact, I did have a interesting story board with those photo in FB. Overall was he asking for apple. He understood the word "apple" when he was 10 months & love bitting the apple with his gum. YA, gum! cause his first tooth was popped out on his 13 months.

Just notice that I dare to take off his napkin when he was 10 months. Look clearly on those photo, he was wearing a pants instead!

Look at his face expression with the apple!

My little boy is an APPLE LOVER!

16th Months Development - Part II

Yeah! My boy is 16th months TODAY! Happy 16th months my little cheeky boy! So happy that I am breastfeeding him for 16 months as well.

Hmm.... Besides all the development in part I, wondering what can I post in part II here. Mmm....

Potty Train
I am glad to say that my little boy is diaper off during the day time since he was 14 months! Baby sitter is confidence to let him wear pant since 13 months, while he can walk by himself.

Yet, I am not that confidence to do so as I worry he will wet my sofa =p... This little boy will not wee untill we bring him to the toilet. Then I started to trust him on his 14th months, by letting him put on the pants during day time.

Surprisingly, he can tell whenever he wanna wee or poo! All thanks to the baby hand sign that I taught him so far.

Night time, we prefer he wee on the diaper, in order to let him sleep more. He will awake and ask for wee, but we will tell him to wee on the diaper. Am I right? or should I bring him to toilet?

The photo taken while my little boy was brushing his teeth and doing his BIG business. =p...
This little cheeky boy sign to me that he wanna poo while he was brushing his teeth.

Ended up...... I named it Multitasking ^_^


Teeth Brushing
As I mentioned in part I, my little boy merely has 4 teeth in his 16th months, but started to brush his teeth on 14th months.

I understood that we shouldn't brush their little tiny teeth too early. My little boy keep asking for toothbrush (he request it by hand signing) to brush his teeth since he was 13 months. As he is watching his mommy brushing her teeth every morning!

So I bought the Pigeon training toothbrush lesson 1 for him. He is so enjoying bitting brushing his teeth since then and he definately will ask for his toothbrush to brush his teeth every morning and during night bathe, before he sleep.

Some of my friends amazed on him cause willing to use toothbrush on his early stage. Telling me that most of the toddlers refuse to open their mouth, refuse to use the tooth brush, throw away the toothbrush etc. My advice to them is simple, just brush your teeth together with your toddlers!

Toddlers at this stage like to imitate adults! Whatever we do, they will follow! Try this and share with me your experience ^_^


Baby Hand Sign
I really glad that I learnt baby hand sign and started to teach my little boy baby hand sign since he was 5 months. I sign to him every thing I knew! He started to response to my hand sign in his 10th months, where his first sign to me was "light". Whenever, wherever he see lights, he will sign "light" showed to us, there is the "light".

This seems to be meaningless to you. Hahaha... Continue reading... you will know the advantages of baby hand signing ^_^

By 16th months, my little boy able to sign more than 30 hand signs, able to tell what he needs and what he want to do before he really can speak well in words! Because of baby hand signing, he is well potty train in his 14th months. As he knows that he can tell what he wants, and we understand and we give him whatever he needs by using baby hand sign!

Isn't this GREAT?!?!

No fuss at all taking care of my little boy after his 10th months. He will learn all the baby hand sign I taught him and he will sign back to me whenever, wherever and whatever he needs!

The photo at the side is showing the hand sign for "milk" ^_^

16th Months Development - Part I

My little boy yet to 16th months, but I better update his monthly development seperately since I had missed out for months! Hahaha... Sorry for my laziness... Busy (excuses =p...)

Physical Development
Weight - He didn't gain much weight since a few months back. The max will be 10kg and fluctuate up & down.

Height - I think is about 78cm.

I did check on his physical development according to the BMI chart, it is falls on the 40 percentile, which is a little bit skinner than other toddlers. We feed him as normal and he eats as normal too. I don't think due to this reason we need to force him to eat more. Anyway, as long as he is healthy. ^_^


Speak Development
He call "mama" on his 6th months & "papa" around 8 months.
Enjoy my boy video here, which he kept calling "papa" & here, which he called "mama & papa" ^_^

Now he can speak a lots, till I forgot to jolt down one by one =p... Surprising he can speak "Hokkien" well as the baby sitter's husband is speaking Hokkien with him. Here is whatsoever I can remember la =p...

Meh meh (Hokkien) = scold
boh (Hokkien) = no more
Oo Oo (Hokkien) = dirty
bak (Hokkien) = tide (when he needs us to tide his bloster string for him)
poh poh = grandma (my mother)
yeh yeh = grandpa (my father-in-law)
duck - only say "duck" during bathe time
milk - I heard this once only, normally he lazy to say but show me the hand sign
bubble
banana - he will say "nana" instead
apple - "appa"
ball - can speak perfectly "BALL"
ba ba = Barney
woof woof = dog
moo moo = cow
book - I heard him said twice, this lazy fella always show his hand sign
bao bao = his beloved bolster
mum mum = eat


Word Development
I am so sorry to say that I really didn't jolt down any of his word development. He knows more than I expect.


Sentence Understanding
He understood a lot of commands & sentences. I just try my best to jolt down here. =p... really sorry for my laziness, my dear!

• Put back, Put down your hands
• Don't move, freeze!
• Do you want to drink water? - he will answer me "water" by using hand sign OR no by shaking his head
• Throw it into the dustbin
• Put inside laundry basket - Before shower, he will automatically do this for mommy
• Turn on the radio
• open / close the door (any doors)
• put on your shoes before step out of the house & take off your shoes
• help moomy to mop / sweep the floor
• Tell mommy it is HOT if the cereal/milk/porridge is too hot for you
• stand up, sit down, lay down
• clap hands, clap feet, stomp your feet
• walk backward
• Go and find your bolster / tumbler & pass to mommy

arhhh.... It is more than I can remember as well! I think better stop here.

Overall, he understands what are we trying to talk to him most of the time. I am trying to stop nursing him, but drink milk from the bottle. First & following attempts was failed as I felt pity of him and surrender. I tried again on monday night, he cried till fell asleep without milk. When he asked for milk on Tuesday night, I passed him the bottle, he hold the bottle, lay down on his bed, and finished the milk in the bottle. YES! Just one night!


Baby Teeth
He merely has all of his central incisors, FOUR in total. A bit slow, right? ^_^

First tooth popped out on the 12 months & 2 weeks.
Second tooth was 1 week after the first tooth.
Third & Fourth tooth was 14 months + 2 week.

I like this photo VERY much! My little boy was smilling at the camera (my HP) while I asked him to do so ^_^

This photo perfectly showed his first tooth, the only tooth when he was 12 months+.

Eating ice cream makes you happy???

How true is this statement?

Ice Cream really can makes us happy?

"Eating ice cream makes you happy, as the sweet treat has an immediate effect on parts of the brain that previous research showed responds to pleasurable tastes, say researchers at the London-based Institute of Psychiatry."

This was the Ice-Cream I had after my lunch just now. It didn't make me happy but at least don't feel sad as this morning.

Ya...... I am not happy today. Can't concentrate on my work whole morning. Thought of taking a half day leave at home, but got tonnes of work waiting for me & Friday got a company trip. This will be the first time I left my little boy overnight at baby sitter house.

I rather back to work now ......

Vainpot

My little boy start to imitate US after his first birthday. Mainly is how his mommy do the chores at home, same goes to baby sitter. In a result, he is our Good Helper in house work. Besides, he knows how to operate our DVD player &..........................

Take photo by himself! As mommy does it all the time ^_^ This photo was taken when he was 13 months.

21st century babies like to play with handphone, camera, remote control...... and EVEN photo himself in his 13th months!

I don't think I did this when I was 13 months. I didn't have chance to play with camera neither. My family is kinda poor, I don't even have photo younger than 5 years old! Yet, I have took more than 5 figures of photos & more than thousands of video clips for my little boy who is 1 week short from his 16 months.

Now I understood why our parents like to compare their life with our life when we were young. As I am doing it with my little boy as well. hahaha....

Herewith another photo of my little boy taking photo for himself ^_^

This happened on last Friday where my boy request me to put on his cap for him & secretly took away my handphone from my hand bag while I was preparing dinner for him in the kitchen. When I was out from the kitchen, I saw him smilling to the HP, whilst his arms was stretching out. So I quickly grab my camera on the dining table to snap these photo. ^_^

p/s: my little boy just manage to pose of photo taking himself, but not able to snap any photo by himself as he just open the lid but dunno how snap photo =p....

美 - 王力宏

I can't stop myself watching this MV these days. Keep on repeating! I love him since I was in secondary school till now!

美!

♥ Lovely Kiss ♥ AGAIN

My boy being so LOVELY these days ^_^

He kissed me early in the morning, when I was sleeping soundly & having my sweet dream.

He gave me a LOVELY + SWEET kiss again last night!
~UNEXPECTEDLY~

I read some stories for him before he sleeps, where he was sitting in my arms, while I was laying on the bed. errr... can you get the picture?!?! anyway...

While I was reading about why we need to recycle, reuse & reduce...... This little boy turned his head facing me, gazed at me......

♥ KISS ♥

He kissed me on my lips! Then he smiled in shy ^_^

Awww...... You are so LOVELY my dear! mucks... mucks... mucks...

Title of the Month

Month got title? hahaha....

In facebook, I will give my little boy a TITLE every month started from his 7th month. WHY just started from 7th Month? No certain reason, just popped out this idea =p... Most of the title I written in Mandarin, as I prefer to write in Mandarin, where English cannot have that kinda feeling. But I prefer to translate to English here.

When my boy 7th month
My boy start to naughty in his 8th month
Finally, my boy is 9th Month now
Mommy surrender when taking care of 10th month Bryan
Bryan is 1 month shy from his first birthday
After ONE year... Since I have been born
Walking, Hopping & Teething 13th months
Mommy's GOOD helper 14th months
Naughty Pie 15th months

The title of the month shown the meaning of his growth development, not all but at least a summarization.

Mommy surrender when taking care of 10th month Bryan
This title given because my little boy started to become the picky eater & shown his temper to me and the babysitter.

Before I feed him with the bowl on hand, this little cheeky boy will LOOK inside the bowl, chectout what's mommy cooked for him. PASS for the look, then he will SNIFF. PASS for the smell, then he start to taste. ~.~lll

Walking, Hopping & Teething 13th months
The title tells everything ^_^ This was the month my little boy start to walk, hop and teething.

Ya. I didn't make any mistake here. My little boy start teething on 12th month and the first tooth popped out almost 13th month, followed by the 2nd tooth. By 13 months, he merely has 2 teeth in TOTAL. Checked with dentist about his situation. He said 0.8% of babies will have their first tooth after the first birthday and my boy is one of the 0.8 percentile. It doesn't mean good or bad, as long as he will has all his teeth, I don't mind WHEN.

Mommy's GOOD helper 14th months
He absolutely my GOOD helper after his first birthday! My boy will help mommy to hang clothes, to keep his toys, to put his dirty clothes in the laundry basket, to throw any small / tiny rubbish on the floor, to close the toilet door, to clean the table, to arrange pillow every morning, to clean his mouth after eating, to dry his hands with handkerchief after washing, to mop the floor, to take off his pants himself before bathing......

Much more than what I can recall now! Just enjoy the video clip below ^_^
