11 Month

Wah.. Vio is 11 month today.. time reaaaaaally flies too quickly.. I feel that he's so big now (as compared to few months back). Vio looks sooo tall now. Even when we went to the church, we met a little boy and his family, the little boy's grandma was saying "xx, say hello to didi.." then "wah how come didi looks bigger than you?" And apparently, that little boy is already 2 years plus.. haha...

As usual, every 29th of the month is Vio's "photoshooting" timeee... This time, I took photos of him with... his BALLS!!

It's amazing how he's not getting bored with Balls after being "mesmerized" by it for few weeks liao. Normally with other toys, the "chemistry" don't last that long.. After few minutes of play, he'll get bored of it liao. But not with balls.. The whole day, he can just keep chanting "balls.. balls.. balls..." and busy crawling around the house to catch (and throw) his balls..

.. which is a good thing actually.. considering balls are cheap and long lasting! As in they won't spoil coz you throw them too much. They are meant to be thrown around!

3rd teeth

Right after I'm wondering why Savio still has only 2 teeth, while other babies of same age have 4 or more teeth liao, Savio's 3rd teeth finally emerge! It was first noticable on 21 Nov 2009. But of course, it was still so tiny that almost impossible to take photos of it.. And I also don't think he'll voluntarily open his mouth wide wide in front of the camera.. haha..

This time it's the top left teeth... Well.. I think very soon his 4th teeth will emerge... Til then, stay tuned! ;)

Vio's Many Styles

During weekend, Vio has invented some "new" styles that are Truly Savio!

• Turning his whole body in a circular motion, using his buttock as the pivot. You know what I mean? It's like using his feet to move in circular motion while sitting down, so he's moving 360 degrees and still at the same position! Haha!

• After clapping his hands, Vio now likes to..... pose! Yeah, right.. pose! It's different poses each time. It's the hand that doing the poses..  He will fold his hands in front of his body just like an adult does... but much much cuter!! And the pose can last for few seconds each time.. haha..

And that's not all.. check out Vio's other poses during the weekend...

So.. which style is the cutest?

Tragedy at the Escalator

Something bad happened today...

Today as I'm going back to office after lunch time, I saw this Malay teenage guy with his grandma walking slowly. They stopped in front of the escalator and it seems like the grandma is scared to ride on the escalator. The guy tried to show his grandma how to take on the escalator. After few tries, the guy happen to accidentally ride on the escalator without the grandma. So the grandma is still stunned at the foot of the escalator.

And there I was, standing behind the grandma. And trying to be a good person, I wanted to help her ride the escalator. So she ride on the escalator while holding my hand. But somehow, both her feet is not at the correct place (I suppose they're at different edge of the escalator) so she lost balance and I tried to pull her but her hand slipped off mine, and bhum! She fell down... I think she knocked her head a bit against the escalator too.. Luckily someone quickly stop the escalator after that..

I was so shocked when she fell down.. and feeling really guilty that I can't pull her such that she didn't have to fall down... and also for trying to be a good person but then... the grandma fell down.. I shouldn't have tried to help her get to the escalator.. Maybe if I just let her wait for her grandson to come back from his escalator ride, she'll ride on the escalator successfully.. *sigh* feeling so guilty now :(

But luckily too, after the incident, the grandma seems to be perfectly alright. She can walk and say that she's fine.. But still.. I'm feeling bad coz indirectly, she fell down because I wanted to help her :(

A Baby & His Balls Collection

For a 10.5 months baby, I think Vio has an amaaaaaaaazing collection of balls. Yeah, his most favorite toys now are balls. He looooooves to throw balls around, catch them, and throw them, and catch them... and go on and on and on..

Leeeet me try to count.. Hmm.. I think he has at least 8 medium-big sized balls.. (those are the ones I can remember for now) anddddd (that's not all!) at least a dozen of small ones... wow.. that makes it 20 balls or even more!

[caption id="attachment_835" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Busy playing"][/caption]

A note: the photos above are not "showcasing" all of his balls. Some are still scattered somewhere around the house and has yet to be "found"..

And he has THIS many balls is because not long ago, a neighbor that Vio often meets almost daily in the park, gave him 4 balls. 4! at the same time! and when my parents & brother were here last month, they also bought him about 7-8 balls.. ahaha and he just love it!

And talking about balls, Vio can say "ball" now.. OK actually it sounds more like "bah" instead of "ball" but anyway... we think he's trying to say "ball".. ;)

And he can also say "bewwhh".. Make a guess on what it means? Haha.. it means "bird"! (He's referring to the birds sticker on my bedroom walls).

A Scrapbook Class!

I just joined a scrapbook class yesterday at Laines. It's my 2nd time joining a class, the 1st one was at MWL where we created 3 LOs using MME Bloom & Grow collection.

Yesterday I took the Yummy Scrummy class, which is a mini album class using Fancy Pants Mixed-Media album. Initially I'm not too sure whether or not I should join, but I have a $35 class voucher expiring end of the month, and I felt like joining a class. But when I saw the sample, it seems so simple that I'm not sure whether or not to join it. But well, in the end I did, and I'm glad I did!

Yeah the project itself was quite simple to do, but I had fun doing it. Learnt some new technique: painting the chipboard and do glitter embossing. That's the 2 things I won't do at home, coz it's messy messy messy... ^^

Just to share, this is the front cover of the sample album... Mine will be about the same, just without the stitching.. I'll be too lazy to stitch.. hahahaa... My album will be used for Vio's 1st bday party album.. so will be 2 more months before I upload my finished "product"

And talking about classes, few weeks back, when I was at laines registering for this class, I overheard an ang-moh asking the cashier: "Can I register my maid for classes?"  I was like... "huh?!?!?!" and thinking... why don't you register me instead?? haha.. that's one very lucky maid hor?

A Wedding in a Sunday Afternoon

OK yeah I know, this post should come before the previous post. But anyway, as have been mentioned in the previous post, we went to attend a wedding at SFA on Sunday afternoon. It was Willy & Nadya's wedding! The wedding was quite memorable as they're such a fun couple, they did a Latin dance in front of everybody! Wow.. something that I think I don't dare to do.. hehe.. And they also decorate the place with lots of balloons.. which I think is very smart! The place looks quite different with all the balloons..

And we also met many other babies there... there were Caelia, Iggy, Allen, and Claire (Yulia's daughter)!

Overall the party was great! And Savio was happy too as he gets to eat the strawberry, kiwi, and peaches from the tart (and mommy gets to eat the plain tart leftover).. hehehe... but it was so hot outside that Vio was so tired when he reached home..
