The Naughtiest Kid Among All Cousins

Today is Hari Raya Aidilfitri and it is a Saturday, we will go back to ah-mah (my mum) house. Little Darling will be very happy to go to ah-mah house, there will be so many ah-yis and cousins to play with, ah-mah will cook yummy food for him and there is a big car-porch at ah-mah house where he can play tricycle and the remote-controlled toy car. See, he looks like a skilful driver in the toy car, doesn’t he?

Among all cousins, Little Darling is the naughtiest, most mischievous and active one. All people in my family dote on him a lot and he behaves like a Little Emperor! He always bullies his gor-gor, snatch toys from gor-gor and sometimes he even beats them if they dare tease him while playing with him. But one of his jie-jie who is one and half year older then him is fiercer then he…. Hahaha…..

It has been a long time since we last time we took pictures for all these little ones, so we thought of taking some pictures for those little ones that are at home today! See, all sat up properly to have their pictures taken and Little Darling was the only one who could not sit tight but kept wanting to flee from the sofa….

Little Darling Starts To Walk Few Steps Unaided

After having bathed Little Darling, I thought of letting him view the scenery outside our bedroom window for a while before I started to get busy in kitchen. I told him that I would like to take some pictures of him but our naughty baby refused to cooperate. No matter how I pleaded with him, he had his back facing me and purposely remained so. Few minutes later, he suddenly turned to face me and smiled cheerfully. I quickly snapped out my camera to capture the moments, in whatever postures of his.

I guessed Little Darling must be in good mood, as suddenly he wanted to show me he could stand unaided. I clapped hands to praise his brave act. Wow! Little Darling walked 3 steps unaided……. Our Little Darling finally made his first steps this morning! Though many of his friends of his age are already walking steadily, this is still his great achievement!

He tried walking 2, 3 steps unaided when playing in the living room this afternoon. I was so happy! Before this, I worried about carrying him around, that I felt I have difficulty of doing so nowdays, especially when me alone have to bring him to classes.

Visit To Fish Farm

It was drizzling in the late morning. Outdoor activities would be dreaded as it was wet everywhere. We changed our outing plan to bring Little Darling to a fish farm since he likes to see fishes so much.

Daddy said that there might be few people at the fish farm in this kind of weather. To our surprise, the place was so pack, the carparks were almost full. Little Darling was excited at the sight of so many fishes in the fish tanks. He touched the fish tanks, talking and shouting. There were so many species of fish like gold fish, arrowana (dragon fish), angel fish, blue lobster-prawns and koi. There were also many attractive designs of aquarium.

This was a fruitful trip as Little Darling got to see so many different kinds of colourful fishes!

Mosquitoes Kisses!

I nearly fainted when I woke up this morning! There was one big red spot on our Little Darling’s face and 5 red spots on his head and his left foot! Goodness me! These were kisses by mosquitoes and it happened last night!? It made daddy and mummy’s hearts pain!

There is fogging carried out at our place every Tuesday, yet there are still mosquitoes on the hunt here! Daddy quickly put up a mosquito net at Little Darling’s bed without further delay. We really can’t afford to take chances a second time!

Our Little Darling Our Sweetheart!

I was sitting on the rocking chair with Little Darling sitting on my laps, listening to his favorite songs while at the same time he was chi chi cha cha ‘talking’ something that I did not understand. On and off he would look at me puzzled because I did not pat him as I usually will when I hug him sitting on the rocking chair. I said to him ‘Darling, mummy very tired!’ You go play by your own. Let mummy rest a while ok?’ Immediately he lied onto my arms and patted me as if he was trying to comfort me! He was such an understanding sweetheart! He is just a little baby but he can be so heartwarming! He melted my heart and swept away all my fatigue!

Suddenly I heard something sweeter! He called ‘ma ma’… Wow! Finally he called me ma ma….. so happy! I hugged him in my arms and he offered me a wet kiss! Hehe….. Besides calling mama, Little Darling also knows to call mah mah (grandma), jeh jeh (elder sister), sssh---tarr (star), dirt—teee (dirty) and Bardbard (birdbird). :-)

Little Darling's 1st Lunar Birthday

We did not intend to have a celebration on Little Darling’s 1st Lunar Birthday except praying to ancestors and perhaps a simple dinner among family members. But last minute daddy netted a caterer for a buffet. So daddy and mummy arranged a small scale chit-chatting cum eating session this afternoon for family members. And some of mummy’s closed friends were coming too.

We bathed and donned Little Darling with new clothes, put on shoes and cap and went to grandparents’ house to pray to ancestors. Mummy also did not know which dialect’s custom it was but just follow what Ah Mah told us to, we put eight items on the table to let Little Darling pick. It is believed that this foretell what his calling would be! Half out of fun we did it! Mummy had thought that Little Darling would definitely pick food since he likes to eat so much! Hahahahaha…. Surprisingly that he picked abacas!!! What this would mean? Mummy did not know! Would check with Ah Mah tonight! :-)

We came back home for the lunch reception. Little Darling was excited seeing so many people at home; he played wild with his friends the whole afternoon! Mummy had to make an exception for him for not taking nap in the afternoon.

Gift From Aunty Fei Yeng & Aunty Wei Ling

In the late afternoon, on the way sending grandpa and grandma home, Little Darling kept yawning and suddenly he nodded his head like fishing and fell asleep there and then in the car…. Hahahahaha….He must be super tired!
