Ethan Loke is rolling over

Finally pop over..

YES YES YES at Singapore time 4.55am morning today

I awoken with a fright as I heard a "POP" sound like a durian drop from a tree

Same sound as durian sound during my kampung childhood days

I found this little gem on the floor like a little baby frog

when I asked Ethan what happen?

he cried..That freaking moment I sweared my heart just pondered

But his fall was not a powerful one cos he rolled down from the bed onto a matteress

I folded the mattress 3-fold

from the 3-fold mattress he rolled over to the foor

the height is approximately 25cm high

So I tot since he is awake

I asked..

Ethan have you become "gong gong" after the fall? Please reply mommy with an ugly smile

There he is, an ugly smile with mini eyes..

Oh man..This is driving me nuts :)

11 months = 336 Days Old

Ethan turns 11 months old today.

Being a 11 month old baby, he request attention from us every single minute. Back home, he will usually be put on the walker for him to explore the house for new things so as to keep himself entertained. He often talks, yells, screams, laughs or calls for help if he is lonely or being left unattended whilst the mommy is so pre-occupied with household chores & many more.

But if he is quietly tucked away in a corner, there you find him up to some real mischief. He will either tiptoe trying to reach for something or his hands will be holding on to some new found toy like our handphone..etc.

From the corner of the room, I called for him asking “Ethan what are you doing?” He replies with a smile broadly spread across his face. How can I not love him more & more each day??

14.08.2009

On this day, the fellow rolled down to the floor from the bed of course 1st time (hoped no more next time).

At 4.06am Singapore time, I woke up in fright cos I heard a "pop" sound. There he is the little fellow had kicked all the blanket, pillows & bolster onto the floor. Ended up on the floor still in his dreamland. The sleeping arrangement at mom's house is in such a way only the top & bottom is proned to dangers & blocked by the pillows, blankets & bolster,big ones...Right & left is blocked by me & my mom respectively. Still he can wiggle his way down down onto the floor.

Luckily, Enric was sleeping on a mattress besides the bed. The mattress left a narrow 15cm gap from the bed to the mattress. AND amazingly is, Enric's small pillow fits into the corner portion & Ethan happens to roll exactly into that spot. I have to thank GOD in all race & religion for protecting this precious gem of mine.

14082009 is such a happening day afterall.Thank you all for the well wishes, cakes, gifts, dinner... I am so blessed with all my loved ones around.

Day 313

Day 313 of my life with Ethan..The world is such a wonderful place to live in.

At 10months old, this baby had upgraded from a baby to a toddler. He has 3 tiny teeth & likes to munch on biscuits. With him around, there is non a FREE moment. Either my time is fully utilised or even stretched like a rubber band by him or pre-occupied trying to complete the housework even with him yelling at the bakground. Gone are the days I stayed late to watch DVD or VCD.

Ethan Ethan Ethan turns 10months old 2 days ago..

A 10 months old baby supposed to
(http://www.babycenter.com/0_milestone-chart-7-to-12-months_1496587.bc)

1. Waves goodbye
2. Picks things up with pincer grasp
3. Crawls well, with belly off the ground
4. Says "mama" and "dada" to the correct parent
5. Indicates wants with gestures
6. Stands alone for a couple of seconds
7. Puts objects into a container

For Ethan
Yes - No 1, 2 & 7
No - All others

Is his progress slow or is he normal? Often I wonder. What amazes me always is his demands for people to carry him around the house with his body inching forward, going towards he directions he wanted.

Haizz..1st posting in August but things just dun seems to go right. Tried uploading some pictures of Ethan but apparently I am just unable to upload it. Did I miss out a program somewhere?

@ 9months

At 9 months old, he is gradually upgrading his skills;

1. Raises his hands & flocks towards the person he want to be carried

2. Recognises simple words like "kai kai = go out", "mumu = eat", baobao = carry", pongpong = bathe"

3. Sulk when he sees a stranger occassionally
(does it inferes that he is an anti-social person? Inherited whose genes. Definitely not mine)

4. Change position within a few seconds
(No longer the baby who will sit still. Now his hands has to hold on to something or he fidgets his way)

5. A baby who is simply scared of ticklish....Laugh hilariously when we tickle his shoulder or just holding on to his feet.

6. Finally 2 little teeth (Day 269) from the bottom gums appear. No wonder he turns cranky & had fever on the last week of June & stuff every single items into his mouth when he lay his hands on.

With Ethan, my dinner & outing with friends had minimized & had been postphoning & postphoning. Sorry ladies..u know who u are :)
