Esther says 'papa'

26 Oct 08 - Week 32

Ho ho ho... Esther is speaking her first words and it's 'papa'.
How sad =( why is it not ' mama' first. Jealous ardy.
Keke but it's so cute to hear her blabber a whole string of papapapa out that it really doesn't matter anymore. Hope i will hear esther call mama soon. Fingers crossed.
*Oh i got a video of her saying papa but i got problem uploading it to the blog. Wait while i try again huh.*

Like father like daughter

Ok i owe you all a photo of Esther sitting. Here it is. Sorry that you are only getting a 'headless' father here. Haha. Esther actually sat still for me to take a few shots before continuing her banging and playing. Cute rite?

Esther can SIT now!!!!!

Week 30.
Hey hey hey.... got a surprise when we came back from Japan: Esther can now sit pretty steadily with minimal support. We just have to jaga her back just in case she gets tired and decide to take a rest on her back. Other than that, she can sit pretty well and can reach around her for toys and things that caught her interest. Another growing and developing milestone for her. Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!
*wait wait for me to get a photo of esther sitting hor*

Hmmm one thing of concern is that she is a bit slow in taking solid food. She doesn't seems to like porridge or cereal. But somehow she likes bread. Just like mummy =) Gotta like her try a few more things to find what she likes.

Minnie Mouse on wheel

Just came back from a holiday in Japan. Feel very bad that we didn't bring esther along. We missed her so much that we tried to call home every day to check how she is doing, so much so that my mother in law says that she's ok, dun need to call everyday unless urgent. Keke. Must have gotten on her nerve to always have to rush to take call while taking care of baby. Ok, no more leaving her behind when we go on holidays from now no. Anyway, bought her quite a few items: the minnie mouse hair band, pooh bear and minnie mouse hair clips, a classic pooh plush, a baby yukata set, and a set of one piece body suits. But sorry babe, mummy tested the hair band for you first at disneyland for the whole day. Certified good quality. Keke.

shhh....

'Mummy, dun disturb me ok? I am trying to pray now.' Esther at week 29.

My pretty girl in her BMW

Oh, you should see her in her walker. She can literally race round the house in record time. She can walk left, right, backwards and even forward. No place is too far and difficult for her. She can even manoverve around corners and tight spots just to be at where she wants to be...like squeezing between the TV console and the coffee table so that she can get near that DVD player and controller. She even knows how to make use of the walker to play chasing games with me.
Good to have a walker, really. It boosts her confidence as she gains mobility with it. And definitely a good tool to keep you hands free for a moment to catch your breath.

Esther with her fans

Ok let's force them to be esther's fans also. Dun care. Haha! Esther took a picture with 婆婆，舅舅，Mimi and cousin Joshua yest at 公公's birthday celebration at a nearby restaurant.

公公's birthday

1st Oct was my father's birthday. Brought Esther over to my parents' place after the gathering at my place. This is the first picture esther took with gong gong. Happy Birthday 公公!

Friend from Dubai

My good friend Fayth came back from Dubai for a week long holiday. Was at my place for a gathering with other friends and to see Esther. This is the first time fayth see her in person. Esther was very excited to see so many people ard the house when she woke from her nap. And as expected, she was not able to take her afternoon nap cos she wanted to play (and partly of the noise). I think esther makes a good host; must entertain guests; no nap. Haha.
