Year 01: Happy Happy Deng Yun!

after coming home from my mother's place, ting yee was playing with deng yun at his cot. and this was what happened:

also, for the whole of this week, deng yun was able to say the words "ball", "car", "dad-dy", "pa-pa" and the famous "bye-bye" (said whenever someone waves bye-bye to him)! more words to come!

"baby avatar sure is very happy and elated!" - TheAvt

Year 01: Deng Yun's many words

when i went to the centre to pick deng yun up, he ran towards me and shouted "Dad-dy"! i was so so happy!

"you can never find this kind of happiness from playing games..." - TheAvt

Year 01: Back to school!

deng yun went back to the infant care centre and all his friends welcomed him back:

"baby avatar sure is popular at the centre... or maybe those kids were really bored..." - TheAvt

Year 01: 1 year and 1 month old!

although i did mention that i will not keep track of the 20th every month, it was rather special today. because today was the first time i made porridge for deng yun! and i think he liked it too. hahaha!

at night, he was playing with his tray:

"something about trays that baby avatar finds fascinating..." - TheAvt

Year 01: Family Outing!

in the morning, we played ball with deng yun before heading out:

in the afternoon, we went to my ex-colleague's food stall to eat bakmie, the authentic indonesian noodles @ IMM Building. check out their website here: http://www.makanbakmie.blogspot.com deng yun got to walk with ting yee in the shopping mall, while i chatted with my ex-colleague.

then we headed to East Coast Park to attend ting yee's best friend's daughter's 1st birthday party! we joked that in the future, both of our kids will become classmates, if not schoolmates, because both ting yee and her best friend were from Nanyang Primary School.

"pathing the way for the next generation..." - TheAvt

Year 01: 5th haircut and back to KK Hospital

because i had to attend a CPA workshop, ting yee came back earlier from work and took deng yun for a haircut. crew-cut! yes, the 5th haircut since 25 April 2009!

and then we were all back at KK Hospital because deng yun was having a terrible cough since tuesday...

"be strong, baby avatar! you can pull through it!" - TheAvt

Year 01: Another visit to the dreaded KK Hospital again!

yes, deng yun had officially gotten sick yet again today. he had running nose and a mild cough. so again, we set out to KK Hospital to check him out.

when we were there, deng yun had to put on a mask to prevent him from spreading his sickness, or prevent others from infecting him. once he put on the mask, he had become a ninja warrior!

and thus began the days i had to stay at home and look after deng yun...

"hope baby avatar gets well soon!" - TheAvt

Year 01: Walk N Ride next step!

deng yun could get on and off the Walk N Ride by himself, but he was not that steady yet:

"soon, he will be able to drive a car by himself!" - TheAvt

Year 01: First time walking to infant care centre!

today was the first time deng yun walked to the infant care centre with his shoes that was bought on 14 June 2009! check out the content on his face:

"now the journey to infant care centre will be a long one!" - TheAvt

Year 01: SuperBoy to infant care centre!

well, we dressed deng yun in his superboy clothes today, mainly because there was no other shorts. check out the "oh-so-excited-look" on deng yun's face:

"yeah! school can be SO fun!" - TheAvt
