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!

when pp tries to stand up, sometimes he finds his head too heavy and will rest it on the floor, making a 'A' posture'... very cute, like he is going to do a forward somersault :)

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.

Qr, pp and pppp went to bb expo with auntie mandy -- pp's first visit to bb expo.

wiener klang had a booth there. Qr passed by and was attracted by the musical instrument set up on the bb mat. So Qr placed pp on the mat and he had a great time playing with glockenspiels, mallets, and other sound-making shakies...
