dec 2014

end of december 2014, the two of us had lots of challenges to come back to KK.
flights not booked.
had to quickly fly to KL for a night before catching another flight back to KK the next morning.
when things go out of plan, it gets rather chaotic.

we were hanging out in the Golden Lounge in KLIA while waiting for boarding.

Matty can say "smile" to the camera phone ;)

loves to take selfie…

-_____-'''


i need to ensure he has had enough food here before we board the plane.
croissant for him and some rice
he wants to hold his own spoon and is quite determine about it :(
it means HE MUST have his OWN SPOON!

this is what happens when we practise BLW (baby-led weaning)
hubs thinks his determination is due to the blw. he blamed me for it.
oh well..


fed him some of my muesli
we also shared some yogurt ;)
he hates egg yolk.

look at the mess he has artfully created?

i feel embarrassed...i did try to clean up as much as i can.






last selfie before dozing off for his morning!

it is vital to time their nap time with plane ride so that we can have some rest up in the sky!

its monsoon season now so we couldn't land according to schedule and had to detour to Labuan for an hour before flying back to destination.
sigh.

anyway, all was well! :)

Matty can now say "tay jay"!
he calls him tayjay more than "ge ge"

he can say "ptei ji" (aeroplane)

he will bring Peppa Pig's book to me and say Peppa.
phew, finally he has stopped snacking on books.

he loves to go out! of the house.
he is really sneaky and cheeky!
he teases people! makes funny face! funny actions!
he can sign shoe! and asks for shoe when he wants to go out.

likes to snatch the phone and talks on the phone whenever I'm on the phone! -____-'''

nap twice a day.
sleeps around 9 at night and get up around 6-7 in the morning.

turn his head away if he doesnt like his food.
or he will spit out if I've conned him to take that mouthful of food!
he also began to keep food in his mouth.
aunty says he'll swallow but the process of feeding him is tiresome.
well, aunty did not say that but i assumed so! :p

milk bottle intake is 2-3 times a day in aunty's house
each milk session is about 6-7 oz
doesnt fancy frozen milk. how do we know?
he'll swirl his tongue around the teat and do everything BUT drinking the milk

he can say Poo poo! means he has poo-ed!
or pee pee! if he has pee-ed!
clever boy! :D

this boy is really agile and observant.
he observes really well and imitates us! especially his brother!
his action is also really quick and swift!
hence i have to concentrate whenever I'm babysitting him.

he won't call me Mama …
whenever he needs me, he will come to me and search for my hand, hold it and pull me somewhere if he needs me to do anything or go somewhere.
