baobao when he felt full and didn't want to eat anymore

Monday
pp really is trying to speak more and more, and Qr could now make some educated guesses of what he's trying to say.

Tuesday
Teacher told Qr that pp bit classmate at the creche when Qr picked him up in the afternoon. he was still sleepy and leaned on Qr quietly. However, when teacher and Qr talked about his biting habit, pp suddenly cried out loud, with his forehead against Qr's shoulder. So the teacher said pp did know that biting is not right.

at night dining at grandma's, Qr told the story to pppp and the grandparents. Qr was holding pp as if in the afternoon (to see if he would cry again), but instead of crying, pp kept on kissing Qr, seemed like wanting to kiss Qr so that she wouldn't tell others about the biting.

pp will say 'bao bao' when he doesn't want to eat any more.

Wednesday
pp will now respond to putonghua attendance taking and hold up his hand when his name is being called. however, it seems like he doesn't respond to cantonese or english attendance taking.

Monday
took pp to kindermusik. Qr noticed that pp could 'zip wei' and moved between 2 people without falling down or being tipped over. amazing.

took pp to hollywood hotel grassland. pp at first was unhappy but soon got used to walking bare feet on the grass. but then when he fell and sat on the grass, he didn't like having his hand pressed on the grass (to support himself to get up)... looks like he likes having clean hands... :P

chip & dale were at the hotel. Qr took pp to say hi to them and to take pictures, but pp seemed to be scared by them. when taking pictures, pp cried and turned his head when he was placed between chip and dale. it's until chip or dale moved to one side so pp was not in between that pp would look at the camera..

30 Oct (Sat)
pp's first interview at Creative Kindergarten for pre-nursery class... short interview. at the beginning, the teacher ms. wong said high to pp but pp turned his head away -- the norm recently when he met with strangers... luckily, he soon turned back and opened and closed his hand to hi to ms. wong. ms. wong then asked pp to look at his own picture -- pp laughed happily. ms. wong asked pp to push the toy car, first to Qr, then to ms. wong. pp needed much guidance to do it. however, pp did a great job cleaning up by putting back the toys into the basket, and picking up a board card from the floor. pp didn't like to continue with the cloth book after 2 pages though. the best of all, pp byed-byed with all the teachers with his hands, and blow kisses to all on his way out.

Qr and pp met with pppp and uncle hugo in cwb for tea after kindermusik session on Monday. Afterwards, Qr, pp and pppp went to windsor house to look for shoes and a new stroller for pp. bought nothing though.

Qr, pp and ppp then went to hk central library, pp's first time ever to visit a library. When they reached the 2nd floor (children library), they saw the toy library and found from the staff that 19:00 session just started and it's not full yet (it's always full and requires reservation), so all went in and pp had a great time!!! Qr borrowed a hammer and shape toy for pp to play. pp was attentive playing the toy although he used his hands instead of hammer to push the shapes through the holes. after continuous practice, he seemed to start to learn how to match the shapes of the holes with the blocks - circle, square, star, triangle, and hexagon. pp also had fun carrying the toy banana, toy tomato, toy bread, and toy egg around. Still, toy banana is his favourite!!!

long weekend from 1 Oct to 3 Oct... didn't take pp to see the fireworks, but pp had a healthy long weekend!

Thursday
took pp to Dr. Tsang after playgroup as his mouth kept having blood oozed out in the morning. Dr. checked and found that the gum on top of the top front teeth got peeled... yiiiiiii!

Friday
took pp to the outdoor swimming pool, he enjoyed submerging and struggled when doing pull pull pull and kick kick kick...

Saturday
Teacher Kaley solved the mystery: pp kept struggling not because he doesn't like swimming anymore.. instead, he thought he could swim and doesn't want to do the basic kick kick kick and pull pull pull... he likes submerging because he's free when he's under water (pp would be released when he's under water). however, pp behaved well in front of the teacher or when the teacher is looking at him and exercised diligently, but when he's behind teacher's back, he started struggling against pppp again!!!

Sunday
pp went to the indoor playground in the morning and to the beach in the afternoon. he played immediately with the sand without much struggle, walked on the sand without complaint, and even went to another baby girl's to play with her toys!!! finally, he walked toward the water by himself without fear!!!

Friday, pp's 15-mth-old birthday. Qr took pp to the disneyland after playgroup. first Qr and pp went to disney hollywood hotel where there is the big grassland. When Qr put pp on the grass, pp stood and cried at first, but soon stopped when he held Qr's hand and started to walk on the grass bare feet. When the sun set, Qr and pp went inside the hotel where pp took a nap. Afterwards, Qr and pp entered the disneyland to walk around and waited for the fireworks at night. Disney had a halloween theme and Qr tried to stay away from the 'ghosts' so as not to scare pp. during the fireworks, pp again stared at the fireworks and looked a bit stunned and a bit frightened.

Saturday, last little bachelor class, pp still couldn't keep still and went round and around with NN.

Sunday, pp walked a lot. in the morning Qr took pp to the outdoor playground where pp played on the swing by himself, played the turn-a-round which he didn't really get excited, and the big climbing block, in which he climbed up and down the stairs with so much fun. around noon time, Qr took pp to the indoor clubhouse playroom. pp started screaming with excitement when he reached the glass door of the playroom. in the afternoon, Qr took pp to shop at mannings and park'n shop. pp liked having his back on the piles of boxes, and used his whole body to push on the piles of boxes. pp's hands didn't stop touching around in mannings and park'n shop and had great fun. at night, Qr took pp to auntie mandy for dinner, and pp walked part of the route by himself. at auntie mandy's, pp had fun playing with the rice cooker, towering blocks, auntie mandy's key bag and her iphone.

pp first time walked from home to the lift to the lobby and to the open ground until he reached the stairs... he walked with his white crocs and got a bit red on the feet...

pp had some bird's nest today, too, while Qr and pppp had 'round soup dumplings' prepared by pppp... :)

pp went to swim today. Qr and pppp wore goggles in turn to dive with pp... pp really opened his eyes in the water, and Qr could see bubbles coming out of his nostrils... so Qr believes pp knew how to breathe out when he's in the water...

MiB - 456 days (1y2m29d)

22 Sep 2010 (Wednesday)

pppp didn't go to work today, so Qr and pppp didn't take pp to the creche in the morning, since his mid-autumn festival party started at 13:30 in Kowloon Tong anyway.

Qr noticed that pp could use his index fingers (both hands') to point now. However, when he pointed with his index finger, his thumb would point out, too...

pp could also, for the first time, put his finger into his nostrils! this is indeed a milestone as he could point his finger to a place he couldn't see.

pp could express himself better and better. he would grab Qr's hand to hold his hand, and he could now tell Qr when he wants Qr to read books to him, or play DVD for him.

pp walked down stairs -- the first time in his life -- after the mid-autumn festival party.

tonight, when pppp was sitting on the stair case to the platform, pp crawled down the platform and sat next to pppp on the stair case as well... very cute!

It's like this: when there are so much happenings that's worth writing, there's no time to update the blog...

Sunday

Friday
- pp followed Auntie Woo and GMmo to the 'signing event of Joey Yung' @ element's HMV... unfortunately due to some episode at the queue before them, Joey didn't even look at pp...
- pp had dinner with Auntie Woo, GMmo, Auntie fafa and Uncle JM, Auntie fafa asked pp 愛唔愛呀 (if he wants more food / water) and pp answered by shaking his head and uttered something like '唔-愛呀‘... GMmo tried to video tape this and Auntie fafa induced him to say again, but pp showed an annoyed face and refused to say again... very funny

Thursday
- vaccination evening, pp had fun playing in the clinic, and didn't show any anxiety when entering Dr.'s room. however, when Qr sat with him at the chair next to Dr.'s desk, he started to recognize and struggled to leave. When Dr's put the wooden stick into his mouth, he closed his lips tight and started crying... he cried even poorer (not exactly louder though) when he got the injection and didn't stop crying even afterwards, until the nurse played with him by pretending to eat the banana toy. pp even laughed out loud and forgot about the pain.

this morning pp stood outside the washroom to wait for Qr to come out (Qr has taught him not to go inside kitchen or washroom but wait outside instead). he then saw the bath book on the bench next to the sink and ee-ee-er-er to want to get it. so Qr took the book out, and asked pp to say please. pp first clapped his hands (incorrect gesture) and then he seemed to realize he used the wrong gesture, used his palms to move left and right on his chest -- which was more like the gesture taught by ms Anna last week!!! so pp did remember. smart boy!!!

(post-note: the correct sign is "dominant hand is in a flat handshape, then place the palm over the heart and move it into a circular motion once or twice."

afterwards, pp handed Qr the your baby can read sliding cards and wanted Qr to show them to him. he now can show Qr he remembers by demonstration before Qr reads out the words:
'diaper' -- pp will pat his own diaper when he sees the word
'arms up' -- pp will hold his arms up seeing the word
'hi' -- pp will open and close his palms
'wave' -- pp will open and close his palms as well (pp can't exactly wave somehow)
'tiger' -- pp will roar seeing the word
'smiling' -- pp will 'ee' his teeth to show a smile
'mouth' -- pp will open his mouth wide
'clap' -- pp will clap his hands
'tongue' -- this one depends, sometimes he will open his mouth, sometimes he will use his hands to touch the tongue, recently, he will stick out his tongue occasionally

picked up pp in the evening, he held up his hands, gave big smiles and blew kisses to me when he saw me at the other end of the corridor. when he approached closer (teacher was holding him in her arms), he leaned forward to want to reach Qr earlier... soooo sweet.

pp tonight went to the top of the DVD player to get the disney's peekaboo book and handed it to me signalling me to play it.

Qr went to a full day montessori class for parents and therefore pp had to skip one kindermusik class and stayed at the creche for the whole day.

Pppp reported: when he picked up pp from the creche this evening, ms. Tang held pp's one hand and walked him out. He walked steadily at the beginning, when he saw pppp, he speeded up to go to pppp and fell down, slightly brushed his forehead against the plastic drawer. Pp stood himself up, one hand on his forehead, smiled silly and continued to walk towards pppp, sooo cute.. :)

today was gym time, Qr took pp to play with different things except the 'hanger'... and then pp heard other babies playing excitedly on the 'hanger' and he wanted to play as well. so he climbed to where the 'hanger' was, looked up to the 'hanger' and then looked up at Qr and climbed on Qr's legs to stand up. so Qr held him up, let him put his hands on the 'hanger' and walked him along. so today, he was not resistant, and Qr and pp walked like that for a couple of times.

during snack time, a baby girl brought her own snack of mini rings. her maid told her to give one to pp, so the baby girl held one out with her 2 fingers, and pp successfully used 2 fingers to get the ring -- very impressive fine motor skill, well done, boy!!!

Qr was not in shape today. First forgot about bringing vaccination record to the creche, then forgot about socks for pp in the creche. In the afternoon, Qr forgot about another pair socks for playgroup, and worst of all, forgot about feeding towel...

Qr played flash cards with pp this morning - first word cards on colour x 2, and pp didn't have enough, and second your baby can read sliding cards (starter and book 1) once, and third regular polygon cards x 2, and finally dotted card from 1 - 10 plus a summation (first time ever) 1 + 2 = 3, and pp happily giggled. it's so good to see pp enjoys learning as if it's playing. To kids, it's best if they learn without knowing that they are learning, and the best way is through playing..

pp likes putting coins into the 'bear' bank. today Qr gave him a one-dollar coin, a two-dollar coin, and a five-dollar coin. When he first saw Qr taking out the 'bear' bank, he's already very happy. When he received the five-dollar coin, he used his right hand to put it into the bank immediately. when Qr handed him the two-dollar coin, he took it with his right hand, then he changed hands to use his left hand to put the coin into the bank successfully. after putting the last coin in the bank, he looked at Qr and 'urh - urh - urh' and raised his left hand to make a gesture -- like asking Qr to provide more coins. Qr had no more coins for today, and he started to pick up the 'bear' bank and look for openings to get the coins out. pp knows a lot of things now.

tonight, Qr, pppp and pp went to the supermarket to buy breakfast for Qr. when Qr was choosing her cereal, pppp and pp were playing walking around and pp was having great fun. When Qr picked her breakfast, pppp and Qr held hands with pp (in fact, Qr and pppp both gave him a finger to hold on for his balance) and walked side by side with him, the longest way pp has ever walked...

- he will pick up the your baby can read dvd box and try to open it for Qr to play it for him.
- he will stand at one place and stomp his feet for Qr to assist him to walk
- he will 'mum mum mum mum' to tell Qr he wants to have milk
- he will go to where the flash cards are kept, take one out and hand it to Qr to ask Qr to flash the cards to him

Qr took pp to the playroom in the afternoon. at one point, pp wanted to have milk and he went to Qr's bag, tried to open it and put his hand in to take out the feeding towel and handed it to Qr.

pp had big temper, too. he likes the car in the playroom and he refuses to leave the car. when someone else is playing with the car, he tried to chase it and looks for Qr to get it back for him.

pp wants to listen to ABC songs and have asked Qr to sing to him for 5 times this morning already. what he will do is that he will open the 'My First Book of Letters', flip to the final page where there is a colourful picture of the alphabet. Then he will push the book to me, make some sounds like 'again'. when Qr asks pp if he wants mommy to sing, he will nod decisively. If Qr plays dumb, he will continue to push the book and make the same sound until Qr starts singing. if Qr stops in the middle, pp will make the 'again' sound again.

pp can also open the paper box (of 10 sturdy boxes for piling up) now. in the past, when he wanted to open the box, he will use both hands to hold up the box (because it's heavy) and hold it up to Qr, signalling Qr to open it. when Qr asks pp if he wants mommy to open the box, he will nod. Qr has shown to pp how to open the box, now, pp can sometimes open it by himself.

After years, Qr had her body treatment again.

Taking pp to the creche and pp started smiling when pppp and Qr helped him put on his shoes at the waiting area. Then Qr accompanied him to one end of the corridor to wait for the teacher to walk with him to the classroom.

pp had fun playing the drum in the afternoon class. in addition:
English
- Mr. Sun song
- Monkey Dance song
- abc song
- water paint on monkey
- dough playing on ice-cream picture (but pp doesn't like the dough texture)
- dry marcaroni and the sieves
- Mr. Beebo Bear and baby signs for please, thank you, and I love you
Snack
- marcaroni & ham (Qr ate the ham)
Mandarin
- red colour
- morning exercise song
- little star song
- red balloon story
- playing with red colour stuff
- painting with red crayon + meshed tray
Gym
- pp didn't like the hanging fun today. instead, he loved swinging in the hanging boat, and sliding down the slide backward

Qr wanted to test if pp started to be fear of the height, therefore, in the mtr back home, Qr let pp held the rings in the compartment, and pp was having great fun holding the rings and even tried to play 引體上升. So Qr suspected that pp didn't like to drop off from the handle at the gym. gotta try next week.

pp has officially started brushing his teeth since yesterday. in the past, Qr tried once with him without toothpaste and he didn't like it. from yesterday onwards, Qr added in children toothpaste which pp could swallow. he's still reluctant to brush his teeth, guess the toothpaste is not very tasty... :P

per report from pppp, pp was accompanied by 3 teachers to walk as it's the first time he wore shoes in the creche and walked from the reception area to his classroom. so 大陣仗!!!

Afternoon playgroup had the following fun:
English
- count up to 5 'foam' eggs
- good afternoon song
- abc song
- colour no. 2
- put beans into tube
- monkey dance song
Mandarin
- red kitchen utensils
- play with red water
- stick different textures of red paper to a red paper
- little star song
- morning exercise song
Gym

First day as an unemployed, Qr got pp ready for today while pppp was responsible to take him to the creche. Qr didn't sleep in, but tidied up pp's diaper inventory, swapped the toys available for him on the platform, and put up a wall paper for height measurement.

Qr also started clearing stuff from work, had home self-treatment on face, arms and legs, and prepared pp's meal with egg, salmon, corn and spinach. Qr also managed to review what has been written for the ISP and took a 20 minute nap.

Now (13:45) is time for Qr to pick pp up from the creche and go to a new playgroup. Hope pp likes seeing Qr earlier and the new adventure. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~
A busy class.. Qr and pp were late. When they went into the classroom, english teacher ms. Anna was teaching what's your name. Then they learned to put spaghetti into the bottle and shake shake shake. They played sand and pp refused to leave and ngou geai, so he missed making his name tag. Pp likes washing his hands and didn't like it when Qr turned off the tap. Snack time, the biscuit was really soso but pp drank 2 cups of lemonade and wetted his tee and pants. He could have 2 because his classmate didn't take his and drank his own water with combi straw cup. They learned to put away the cup and dish afterwards. Pp couldn't even finish the biscuit.

Mandarin teacher ms. Winnie came in and they sang mandarin songs. Pp didn't follow the movement or sat still. He crawled to the teachers to get their attention and smiled at them. then it's play time with soft tiny balls pushing through the meshed tray, and colouring a schoolbag and gluing pictures of necessities in the schoolbag. Again, pp refused to let go of the painter or the crayon and cried when Qr took them away from him.

Finally village time and pp were interested in 2 cups there. He held them tight, refused to let go and refused to leave the room when the class was finished.

These 2 days, when Qr used the carrier to carry pp, he would use his hand to make sure Qr's hands wrap around his chest. when Qr sometimes slided her hand to his tummy, he would use his hand to 'dou' Qr's hand up to his chest level again... when Qr moved her hand a little bit away from his chest, he would catch Qr's hand to press it against his chest... very cute... :)

pp still cried when the teacher held him up and brought him into the classroom, even though the teacher was already one of his favourite.

pp took a nap soon after he reached home. when he woke up, Qr and pppp tried to feed him with rice and the instant package from Japan by air, but he refused to eat it. instead, he preferred milk. when pppp and Qr asked him, " would you like some rice?" he shook his head fiercely. When pppp and Qr asked him, " would you like some milk?" he nodded his head with determination. pp really understands more and more.

pp has been very attached to Qr these days. At noon when Qr decided to take a shower before visiting Qi's palace in the afternoon, Qr had to take pp back to his bed to ensure he's safe. he looked abandoned when Qr put him in bed, and started screaming and crying when Qr left his room. he screamed and cried continuously until Qr finished the shower and returned to fetch him.

Today is the day to Japan... pp's second trip outside of HK.

in the morning Qr and pppp took pp to play on the swing - first time pp was put on the swing to sit by himself (in the past, Qr would carry him using the carrier and pp would swing sitting on Qr). To our surprise, pp can swing on his own. at first, he sat still on the swing, then slowly, he moved his head like he's nodding, and pushed his butt to start the swing. afterwards, he would speed up by moving his head to a greater degree, and swang his feet as well. After swinging to a certain speed, he would then swing out and plant his feet on the ground -- of course support required or he would get hit by the swing and fall down.

pp likes flashcards. when Qr flashes the cards to him, most of the time he will focus on the cards, or on Qr. Qr will usually flash the set of cards once, then stop and praise him for having good focus. then she will flash the same set of cards a second time. afterwards, Qr will put away the cards. a lot of of the times pp will utter a couple of sounds, like asking for more. however, Qr will usually read other books to him or play with him... yesterday and today, after a while, he went to the place where Qr stores the flash cards, he took out the top one, held it up, and make some utterance again. when Qr asked him if he wanted to have some cards flashed to him, he nodded. so Qr asked pp to go back up to the platform and get ready, he will surprisingly follow instruction!

this evening, pp could stand up on his own longer and stabler. He planted his feet on the platform wide, placed his hands on the floor and pushed himself up. after standing up, he looked at Qr proudly. Qr of course clapped her hands hard to praise him. he also wanted to clap his hands, his balance a bit at risk, but he managed to continue to stand... then he opened his arms and walked towards me for 3 steps, and embraced me to keep his balance. too bad all these happened in a second and so far not much videos could be captured on his first stand / walk...

tonight Qr, pp and pppp had sushi dinner with pp's grandma, cousin irene and angie.

after dinner, we went for shopping. irene played with pp but all of a sudden, pp hit irene's face with his palm!!! Qr has heard about this before but this time Qr saw it happen in person. So Qr immediately held his right hand, open his palm, and tab on his right palm with her left hand.

pp's response deserves an oscar! first he looked stunned, seemed like he didn't know what's happening... then in slow motion, he bin zui, lips turned downward, eyes looked innocent, being framed and hurt, and then he started to cry -- first tearless, then big drops of tears flowed out of his both eyes...

after teaching pp a lesson, Qr asked pp to kiss mommy. he refused at first but shortly afterwards he kissed Qr.

pp is 13 months old today! Due to the tight schedule of the day, Qr could only buy an egg tart during class break to celebrate pp's 13-mth birthday.

pp has been skillful in kissing and blowing a kiss now... Very sweet.

It seems like sometimes Qr can negotiate with pp.. There are times when pp refuses to drink water before or after eating, Qr negotiates with pp to take one zip and he would comply. However, there are also cases when pp never gives in -- such as when taking scott's cod liver oil.

pp is now skillful in putting one arm straight up or both arms up. Very cute when doing so. :)

It's official that there's a kind of food pp dislikes, and it's dumpling biscuits (marn tou bang). pp will push it out of his mouth with his tongue, put it in pppp's or Qr's mouth, or simply pick up the star biscuits over dumpling biscuits from the biscuit cup.

pp tried hard this evening to stand by himself and he could stand on his own without any support for more than 5 seconds!!! he was so proud of himself he tried to clap hands standing up -- thus fell down right away... :P

Ms. cheng cheng said today pp had started learning to put up his hands when taking attendance. he was very attentive when ms. cheng cheng was calling other students' names, and waiting for his own. after he was called, he would go elsewhere to play. he also likes to sneak away from the group from time to time to play with the basket of toys at the corner by himself. During tea time, Ms. cheng cheng would tear the bread into small pieces and pp would eat by himself (similar to picking up star biscuits in the cup, Qr believed).

pppp went out for gym and said byebye to pp... pp was originally playing on the platform. Seeing pp at the door, he immediately dropped his toys on the platform, crawled down the platform and 'pard-pard-pard-pard' crawled towards the door at his highest speed.

this evening pp had his first visit to cinema -- to watch Toy Story 3!!! he was sleeping when he entered the cinema and slept through the first half of the movie... afterwards, he woke up, watched a bit of the movie, played a lot with Qr's 3D glasses, and had biscuits all along... at the end of the movie, he did yell a bit and pppp had to take him to the back of the cinema to keep him from disturbing others... all in all, pp behaved quite well and was at his best when the acknowledgement started showing -- he likes the moving words on the black background... :P

pp only ate a few spoonful of congee and refused to eat again. these days, when he refused to eat, he would wave his hand and stick it into the bowl of congee or grab the spoon with congee at lightening speed. when Qr punished him by grounding him in his bed, he would cry pitifully to gain sympathy.

Finally another dvd player was set up at home and Qr could play your baby can read again the first time after having moved -- after over 5 months. Now that pp is one year old, Qr is hoping to catch up with his window of early learning in a fun way so that his potential can be released.

in the evening when Qr picked up pp from the creche and took the ferry home, she held the key holder in her hand. pp saw it and immediately took it away from Qr. he flipped it between his two hands and then without being taught, he held the bag-shaped key holder in his left hand, and opened it with his right hand!!! Qr was not sure why he knew how to open it -- whether he observed before how Qr did it, or he saw a flap and just knew how to flip it open. regardless, pp amazed Qr every day... :)

When Qr or Anne made him perform the tasks, he cried. When he got snatched of his toy, he screamed... it's believed that he will soon reach 'trouble 1'.

pp liked swimming class as usual. before attending swimming class, pppp, pp and Qr went to look at e-book readers and harddisc. pp seemed to be quite interested in all the gadgets...

pizza and wing dinner for Qr and pppp at home. when pp saw Qr eating wings, he came over with a big smile waiting for his share. so Qr gotta made his congee dinner to keep him from complaining.

This morning Qr read pp the german zoo book on the ferry. After reading once, Qr let pp play with the book. However, pp complained and wanted Qr to read the book to him again. Qr read again, and then closed the book, said 'finished' and clapped hands, pp complained by 'ee-ee er-er' again. So Qr read the whole book the third time. In the end, Qr read 10 times before the ferry arrived at the destination and pppp put away the book. Although Qr was complaining that Qr had to read the book over and over again, Qr was also happy if this is a sign that pp likes reading books... :)

He would look up at the teacher each time he saw her walking around, to see if she would pick him up and take him out to meet with Qr or pppp. She said pp would know that if she held him out of the chair, it means Qr or pppp was waiting for him outside...

a very hot and sunny day. pp practised going down from the bed but accidentally hit his jaw and caused him a 'mouth of blood'. he cried out loud and pppp comforted him immediately.

Qr, pppp and and pp all had a hair cut today. Qr gave up in making an appointment with yellow, and tried one of the salons nearby. it's not too bad indeed, and much cheaper and faster... :)

pp had chicken pumpkin egg yolk congee for dinner.

after classes, Qr, pppp and pp went to MM's place so that Qr and pppp could leave pp with MM for a couple of hours to see Iron Man 2 -- good movie, but i think it's a bit too long. pp had congee with pork, egg yolk, fish, tofu, broccoli and chinese cucumber.

pp has learned how to close and open hands to hello / hi / bye.. however, he would only do it if Qr or pppp holds up his forearm.

pp had running nose and some coughs, probably got it from the creche. this is the first time he fell sick since the Sharp machine was installed at home.

pp liked to throw away things in hands, except biscuits.

tonight Qr taught pp to throw a wrapped-up diaper to pppp and pppp threw it back to pp... pp was so happy that he laughed out loud. then, the diaper is replaced by a ball and Qr taught pp how to roll the ball to pppp. pp tried to do it on his own afterwards with a little success... :)

pp was ngou geai on both ways - to school in the morning and back home in the evening. thus Qr gave him one biscuit stick each way to keep him from shouting. pp now likes to give out high-pitch shrieks -- probably learn from the class mates @ the creche? pp can now hold a biscuit stick tight even when changing hands. he didn't even drop once the biscuits today.

Taught pp how to climb down the bed, pp still need assistance in doing so.

pp was not interested in younger babies. this evening there was a baby of 7 months old on the way home, pp ignored him. at dinner, there was another baby of 6.5 months old at the next table, pp ignored him as well.

after dinner, Qr, pppp and pp went for a walk. Qr played hide-and-seek with pp along the way, and pp had great fun.

pp slept till after 06:00 this morning, which had not happened for quite some time. However, he cried non-stop until Qr fed him. pp today demonstrated that he really understood the commands 'clap clap clap clap' and 拍拍手. he also likes it when Qr plays 上上下下左左右右 with his hands, esp. when saying '火車捐山窿'. of course he could also understand the command for submerge, for which he would close his eyes and hold his breath... :)

this morning in the ferry, pp 'ngou geai' and Qr gave pp a biscuit stick. he could now hold it tight, change hands swiftly, and could bite it with the gum at the back.

Qr's first mother's day being a mother. pp surprised pppp by going down from Qr's bed to the floor using thee method taught by Anne. Qr video-taped pp when he did it again with assistance from pppp.

Qr needed to meet with a professor on the dissertation. pppp and pp went with qr to play with the office managers (current and ex) there. pppp taught pp to clap hands when he heard 'clap clap clap clap' or 拍拍手, and how to blow a kiss.

pp had healthy times mixed grain + formula + banana before pekip this morning, and he had great fun having gymnastics and finger painting today. pp could now climb up the steps to the slope, crawl down the slope, crawl through the tunnel, turned left and right and up and down along the mats, went under the wooden fence, etc.

Anne had also taught him how to go down from a high place without diving, i.e. put both hands on one side, support himself with his hands, and turn around to go down with his feet.

pp had finger painting today by spreading white baby cream on the mirror. pp had fun originally messing around, but he got upset when pppp did not allow him to put his creamy hands into his mouth.

pp didn't sleep in between pekip and swimming class. He still behaved in front of his swimming teacher, and did great submerges during the class. however, he was not keen in pulling his arms and kicking free-style legs as instructed... :P

Natenate's parents drove Qr, pppp and pp to their home so that the latter could go to the nearest mtr station. during the ride, pp was so excited and played with auntie carrie and giggled loudly. unlike the previous rides when pp would fall into sleep, today pp was hyper and initiated to play when auntie carrie was busy feeding Natenate and putting him to sleep.

after having lunch (beef + egg yolk + carrot congee) at home, Qr, pppp and pp headed to meet with YY & MM for mother's day dinner. pp slept for the whole dinner in MM's arms. when everyone returned to MM's home, pp had apple puree, and a little bit of orange & pear. he loved the fruit sweetness. :)

not sure if it's because of the air-conditionining or not, pp slept before 23:00 last night and didn't wake up until 05:00 this morning. it rained heavily at dawn with thundering & lightning, but pp was not afraid of the thunder. pp liked to climb up the wood bench at the 'head' of the bed, moved toward the window to look outside, or moved to the other side to look at the wardrobe. pp was always curious when Qr opened the wardrobe to see what's inside.

pppp was supposed to have lasik this morning. therefore pppp took pp to the creche and then came over to have breakfast with Qr. Unfortunately pppp's left eye had an issue and he had to take another operation first.

there was supposed to some mother's day celebration at the creche, but Qr couldn't get there in time to join... :(

this morning pp fell off from Qr's bed. pppp saved him from the floor and pp smiled again. silly pp...

First day of having air-conditioned and the fan on in pp's room. Qr fed pp in the room and he felt much cooler. Afterwards, Qr put pp in bed, pp climbed to stand up. Qr read the 2 alphabet posters on the door and pp was so very attentive. He would free his hands to clap by using his forearms on the bed 'fence' to support himself. Qr played 上上 / 下下 /左左 / 右右 with pp and he was so happy. finally Qr sat on the floor next to the bed and played peekapoo with pp, he got sooo excited that he laughed non-stop.

this morning was better -- pp didn't wake up until shortly before 5.

this morning Qr played with pp by touching pp's forehead with Qr's. pp smiled and giggled and would move his head forward to reach Qr's forehead, so cute.

in the evening when Qr picked up pp, teacher chan commented that pp's eyes were so 迷人, not because they're so big, but because pp 瞇著眼 look at others.. haha..

pp forgot about falling from the platform and tonight he almost did it again... luckily Qr was quick enough to pull him up in the air before he hit the step.

Qi, King eddie, castor & pollux, GMmo & auntie woo came over to visit Qr, pppp and pp today. C & P first had great fun at Qr's palace. They had fun playing pp's toys. :)

Then all went through the falls to go to the kid's playroom. again, C & P went crazy too running around, going up and down. afterwards, all went to the village house area. Qr & pppp showed the others the village house and the 'yu pai'. All had lunch at a small cha charn tang. Then all went back to Qr's palace to get changed and ready for the beach.

pp had been tired for the whole day and finally fell into sleep in pppp's arms during the walk. he was up again at the beach and Qr let him sit by the sand, stand on the sand, and wet his feet by the shore.

pp screamed in high pitch several times today, sometimes because he's got excited, and sometimes because he couldn't get what he wanted. by the end of the beach outing, pp fell asleep during feeding. Back home, C & P took a quick shower, followed by pp. Then pp had chicken + choi sum + egg yolk congee for tea.

since C & P had dictation and test the next day, the bowling session was cancelled. All except auntie woo had quick dinner in the nearby shopping centre. Qr, pppp and pp returned home afterwards.

today is public holiday, but there's still pekip class in the morning. pp woke up early as usual before 06:00. he had healthy times mixed grain + banana + formula for breakfast, then Qr and pppp had breakfast before going to Central to take the taxi to pekip.
pp had some new experience at pekip today, as he played with different kinds of organic flour and grain to feel the different textures. pp liked the smoothest one among the 3. this is one good thing about pekip because pp could mess around and play with something not available at home. :P

After class, pppp, pp and Qr went to citysuper to buy zucchini, tuna and beef for pp. As there's no swimming class for pp due to public holidays, Qr and pppp took pp to the clubhouse swimming pool instead. pp had great fun doing submerge, while he was not patient practising kick kick kick kick.. :P he had salmon + broccoli + egg yolk congee for lunch.

Qr, pppp and pp went to visit GG & PP before dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. pp was in a bad mood though as he hadn't slept enough for the day, until at the restaurant when he had had milk, rice and biscuits, and slept for a bit, he started to play with GG, PP, uncle anthony, YM & KF.

at the teacher's day, teacher tang told Qr & pppp and she taught pp 'eyes blink blink blink' (in cantonese). pp in fact would blink intentionally when he's happy, or when he tried to draw others' attention, very cute... :)

Auntie noel drove vienna home, first, then went to pick up her sister @ lai chi kok, and dropped pppp, Qr and pp at the shuttle bus stop.

pp had been behaving during dinner, smiled and laughed a lot and even played with the waitress there.

pp ate tissue paper this morning!!!
Qr was doing her morning routine, while pppp and pp were staying in bed. pp was already wide awake and therefore crawling around on the bed. he found the tissue box by the bedside, and crawl over, picked out the tissue, and started eating it -- he surely got his share of fibre of the day.

Forgot if Qr has mentioned about this -- pp had a new game these days. When pp was sitting on Qr's lap, or carried by Qr by the carrier facing out, he likes to use his left hand to hold Qr's left thumb, and his right hand to hold her right thumb, then moved his hands to make Qr's hands clap.

Another game he likes now is to throw away things and see how and where they move / go. he also enjoys playing with the table toy -- turning the wheel, pressing the horn, flipping the wings of the butterfly, pressing the keyboards and pushing buttons, etc. to make sounds.

Remember pp fell down from the platform? the next day, he seemed to forget about the accidents and still crawled to the edge of the platform and almost fell again. However, these days, he seems to know not to fall over the edge of the platform. when pp crawled to the edge of the platform, he would stop, moved backward, or sat up from crawling and stayed there. even when he saw something on the stairs that he's interested, he would only extend his hand to try to touch it, instead of like in the past, he would crawl towards the thing disregarding the edge of the platform.

pp is always happy when Qr plays with him. pp would open his mouth big and wide and give a big smile. sometimes he would stick his tongue out, too. however, when Qr was busy with other things, or walked away from him, he would start 'bin zui' and crying.

Now Qr is writing his blog, pp would play with me by kneeling next to me, 'boo'-ing with his lips, crawling on Qr, 'un'-ing the whole body like he's dancing, and holding up his hands and shaking them. most were unseen of just a couple of weeks ago.

pp also seemed to know not to fall from the platform. when he was on the edge of the platform, he would turn back and moved away from the edge / stairs. smarty boy!!! wonder if he really remembered his fall some time ago.

pp had been banging things he held in his 2 hands. these days, he also started throwing them away and watched how they dropped / rolled / moved...

pekip class in the morning, followed by lunch and shopping at times square for an air purifier to minimize cross-infection at home. Finally Sharp's ion plasmacluster HD was chosen. swimming class followed, and natenate's daddy drove Qr, pppp and pp cross harbour.

pp had milk and fell asleep after being back home. As there was still sunshine, Qr and pppp put pp into the stroller and took a walk to the shore. it was a nice walk indeed.

pp had health times' mixed cereal + organic banana as breakfast, star biscuits before swimming, and salmon + spinach + egg yolk congee for dinner.

pp could now properly crawl by '4 leg pa pa', although when he was in a hurry, he would fall onto his tummy to move faster.

pp needed to release his energy sometimes. tonight, he pulled one end of my bathrobe's robe between his hands fiercely, and even shouted at times like he wanted to pull the robe apart. however, when Qr tried to video-tape his behaviour, he dropped the robe and happily crawl towards Qr to play with her...

pp could properly '4-leg pa-pa' today. for the last couple of weeks, he could make the posture, crawl one step or two before falling onto his tummy again to manouvre. today he could crawl across the playmat on his four, although a bit slow.

pp woke up at 04:00 this morning again. Qr and pppp tried to let him cry till he was tired and go back to sleep. However, after almost half an hour of crying and standing by the bed fence, pp might be too tired to stand, fell down and hit his rear head to the bed fence opposite, which triggered another round of crying. Pppp therefore rescued him to Qr's bed and pppp slept on the platform as he had sore throat.

pp was so tired in the evening and no reading tonight.

it's getting hot and humid these days and pp started having luplup on his face, neck and body. pp got all wet when he's eating, sleeping, and crying. Qr believes he will have to get naked and soaked in the water to cool himself off during summer time.

pppp made a really nice school report for pp today. Look forward to sharing it with relatives and friends... :)

pppp had class to attend in the evening, so Qr picked up pp and went back home. pp now would try to get Qr's attention by making 'dinosaur's sound'. He would also smiled and blinked his right eyes. When Qr put him down on the platform to work on the household stuff, he would immediately wrinkled his whole face and cried loudly. At the same time, he would lie on his tummy, and bang his calves and feet on the platform to express his dissatisfaction.

When pp was hungry in a bath, he would steel up his body and refused to sit down, and tried to climb out of the bathtub.

When Qr or pppp sat pp down, and put on the dr. seuss' super bib, pp would get excited and waved his hands on both sides, and moving up and down sitting. If Qr / pppp still hasn't started feeding him, he would 'er' to complain to speed up...

in short, pp is growing up... ^o^

This morning, pp was standing in his bed when he called for attention. After breakfast, Qr put pp back to the bed to video-tape pp how he stood up from sleeping down. The reason i s that pppp would lower the bed to prevent pp from climbing out and dropping himself to the floor.

pp had Holle bio baby musli with Hipp apple puree but he seemed to be a bit allergic and had luplup on his face and neck after the breakfast.

pp was now quite skilful picking up star biscuits with either hands. However, when Qr gave pp the long biscuits, he ate them like star biscuits and wanted to put the whole piece into his mouth.

In the afternoon, pp had beef 'wan yu' sweet corn spinach congee.

Qr re-started reading books to pp and testing which books pp loved more:
Todd Parr's - pp wanted to flip them but when Qr didn't let him (because they are normal books and not board books), he didn't like it
little feet book - pp liked the touchy feely book with his feet
rex cloth book - pp liked it
baby's first cloth book - pp liked it

Qr finally finished all the outstanding blogs this evening wghen pp was sleeping and drinking milk.

This morning was parent's day, then pekip and finally swimming. When Qr heard some sounds from pp's room and went over to take a look, pp was already kneeling in bed, one hand on the 'bed fence', and the other spreading out to balance himself. He was staring at the door waiting for someone to come in.

Teacher Tang commented that pp was quite passive, and 'ta tiu'. pp was very attentive when listening to stories, so Teacher Tang told Qr that Qr should start reading books to pp.

pp had choi sum + broccoli + pork + egg yolk congee for dinner.

Recently, pp knew that things not seen do not mean that they do not exisit. pp now knew to uncover to fing the things he wanted.

by the night when Qr and pppp put pp to sleep, pp could already standing in his bed without any help. A big milestone from the morning. :)

Qr picked up pp from the creche and went back home. Then Qr found that pp had temperature 38.7. :(

made broccoli + choi sum + chicken congee for pp at night.

pp refused to sleep tonight, so Qr put him in bed. At the beginning, he didn't know what Qr was doing and just stared at Qr with his big eyes. Then he realized Qr was leaving him in his bed and he started crying. he held the bars of the bed and crawled up -- first sitting, then kneeling, then standing by the bed 'fence'... first time in his life!!! Finally he leaned on the bed 'fence' and held his arms open to reach out for Qr.

Qr, pppp and pp went to meet with pp's 6 suk and 6 suk por at a restaurant with MM and afterwards all went to MM's place to visit YY.

Qr took pp to dymocks while waiting. he stared at the books and wanted to touch a few.

pp now can be very ngou geai. For instance, at MM's place, he felt hot and became 'meng zeng', and later cried and complained to leave. the others had been guessing whether he's hungry or tired, but when pp stood up (he had been holding him) and opened the door, pp stopped crying!

in the evening when we were back home, pppp prepared the bath for pp while Qr went to prepare his congee. pp was hungry and got crazy and cried and yelled until he got the congee, and he cried for the first few spoonfuls to continue to his complaint before he started to enjoy the meal.

other than that, pp in fact smiled and laughed more and made more noise when Qr and pppp played with him.. :)

No pekip class today, so Qr and pppp took pp to the creche in the morning and went for a movie 'Date Night'. Picked pp up shortly after 12:00 and headed for swimming class.

classmate nate nate's father drove us to the mtr next to their home. Qr and pppp had tea and bought floor mats to minimize the damage if and when pp fell off from the platform / the step / his bed.

remember when pp met Bas in Germany, Bas liked to turn his wrists like he's riding a moto cycle. now pp did the same thing when he's lying down or sitting and wanted to be held up.

This evening, he started to say 'baba' and 'mama' with the intention to call pppp and Qr respectively... :o

last day of the 5-day long holidays... *sigh...

pp, as usual, woke everyone up at around half past six for milk. this morning pp after feeding moved himself on Qr's bed, and finally held the headboard of the bed and knelt there -- one step before holding himself up standing... smarty boy!!!

PP, GG, YM & KF came over to visit the estate and the clubhouses, pp had a great time today.

at night, pp started to show intelligence (in the eyes of Qr) in playing the toy table -- first he could walk from one side to another side of the table, then he would play one button after another flip-flop systematically, instead of the previous non-meaningful banging, and lastly he would stop in the middle to look at and study the different buttons and devices and seemed to be thinking about what they do and what to do with them... maybe Qr thinks too much... :P

Ching Ming Festival public holiday. pp was kneeling in bed with his hands holding the 'bed gate' when Qr was woken up by his cries and went over to fetch him.

Anita & Livia came over to the beach with her friend Michael, Beatrice & tin wai (3-y-o) before noon. Qr & pppp let pp tried stepping on the sand, sat on a mat & touched the sand, and went to the water to wet his legs. pp looked at all these new things but didn't resist to try. pp was so tired he drifted off into sleep on Qr's shoulder without the normal 'ngou geai' routine.

after congee lunch, Qr & pppp went to NTP to buy pp a one-piece swimming suit before visiting Qi's palace. They all went to the clubhouse at 17:00 -- the adults went to badminton while the kids went to the kid's play corner. It's so much tinier than the one at Qr's palace... gotta arrange something for the kids to come over...

pp was very 'ngou geai' this evening, cried whenever he was in others' arms and saw me nearby, very unlike him. finally he had fun crawling on the floor and patting the TV-related electronic devices in front of the plasma when all the others were watching Kung Fu Panda. Qr printed THE letter at Qi's palace as well to be used this week.

pppp came over to pick Qr & pp up at night and pp fell off into sleep on the way home.

There was a photo frame at the end of the bed, with pictures of himself when he was (even) young(er). pp was happy and excited seeing those pictures and crawl towards it without seeing the trough between the end of the bed and the table with the photo frame. luckily his head fell right on the slippers and didn't get hurt. he didn't every really cry except whining a little to ask for help to fetch him up... in the afternoon, pppp, Qr & pp were visited by pauline & eldon (with maid,), her cousin, her cousin's hubby, her older daughter and hinhin (with maid), lolo and hubby and lili... all 14 people at Qr's!!! they played on the platform for an hour or so, and then went to clubhouse's playroom for kids, all the kids had great fun!!!
