Beginning of my 11 days without Grandpa & Grandma

26th Nov late afternoon... ...
Grandpa, Grandma, En-En and U-U and their parents, all left for the Kelong...

I was supposed to go, but just few days back when Mummy finally told Grandma "OK, just bring Asher along", despite having expressed her reluctance of the long 11 days trip...and the possibility of me missing out Didi's arrival... well it made more rational sense for me to go, so that mummy could get things done in my absence....and she also feel bad to reject grandpa and grandma...since it had been in vain to get them to come back earlier...

So what happened? Why did Asher, me..remain in SG and did not depart for the Kelong just as planned?? Well, because recently an Indonesian ferry sanked admist bad stormy weather and suspected overloading which is common on Indonesian ferries... ... So Grandpa and Grandma said better not bring me since weather is stormy, waves are strong and furthermore should anything happen, there wont be any life jacket suitable for me... .... so i ended up staying in SG loh...

So 26th November marked the start of my 11 days without Grandpa and Grandma... ...
27th was the tricky day...cause Mummy had a last car delivery and no one can care for me...

(1) To leave me at home with Wai Po(Mummy's Mummy) since Wai Po is coming over on 26th night and stay over for couple of days, but mummy is worried I will be fussy and not ok with Wai po...
(2) Bring us both along to do the delivery...but she got to fetch the customer from the MRT station leh...how?? And it is not very nice too...

Eventually, mummy arranged for the delivery to be done during my nap time. Usually I will nap for 2 hours plus...so she made sure I didnt go to bed too early on 26th Night, and yet wake up early on 27th morning so that I will have a good nap at 1plus to about 4pm... ...during that time she "sneaked out" to do her delivery and rushed back before I wake up.... GENIUS! ;p

Then today 28th Saturday, home alone with just mummy and I, because Waipo went back to Uncle Felix place and will return only sunday evening...

I began my saturday... ...

sitting on the potty, watching my favourite disc...

as I had no diapers on,

mummy changed several shorts for me as I pee couple of times...

I was really serious about learning to play the guitar...
the broom is my acting guitar...

Mummy has to play along with me too

Then it was bathtime...
together with Golden and Silver...
my FIRST TIME!!!
Mummy says they need a bath badly le...

I was happy and absolutely ok with bathing together with them..
I tried to help by always putting in place a yellow pail of water for mummy...

you can see GS are happy too!!
:)

Me too!!
Though it is tiring, but mummy is happy

that she can bathe 3 of us together!

Then after i took my mail and nap, it is playtime

with my stacking blocks...

snack time and it is yoghurt!!

i love yoghurt!

This is my dinner time

my dinner steamed codfish with beancurd and carrot
I finished my dinner before daddy come home...

Then it is daddy and mummy's dinner time!!

Mummy thinks it is an achievement today as she did alot of things eventhough it was just her and baby asher me at home, with no other helper.

She did the laundry and bathed GS, washed the backyard etc and did every daily thing for me on her own, yet managed to cook dinner for us. :)

Daddy was feeling unwell today... he vomitted at work. Mummy felt sad, kind of heartpain... ...

Baby Asher too.

We love you daddy!!

Go Go Bambini

13th Nov Fri!

My trip to Go Go Bambini together with Granma and Mummy!!

I kept following a Jie Jie who wore jumper suit, around.

Grandma says because she looked like the JIE JIE in "The wheels On the Bus" disc that I been watching recently...

I climbed halfway through the "tunnel"....

and asked for help....asked mummy to save me!! BooHoo..

Fearless of height...

After that I knowcked out at home...

My recent pictures

When it is meal time, mummy will always ask me to go up to my high chair.
Just that unlike before when I have to be carried into the high chair, nowadays I climb into it on my own.
And I love RICE. Simply just rice. :) put too much gravy and I will spit out the food into the bowl.
I Love soup too..

I drink my soup straight from the bowl...

on my own....not spilling much most of the time

slow and steady...

I will say "draw", "draw"... in a bid to ask for my crayons, color pencils and paper etc...

but generally I end up drawing all over the floor... ...even when mummy gave me lots of paper...

luckily they are easily washed or wiped off...

playing with the phone...while holding onto my pencils..

i go..."hello", "hello" non stop...

back to drawing and scribbling...
mummy will always correct me to use my right hand...

see the "bear"

i will say "bear"!!

a drum that my grandpa bought for me....

drumming is one of my favorite and daily past-time.
I must always carry my drumset up and down with me,

be it in the room or living hall... hehehe

See that's a video of me drinking the bowl of soup on my own...after a mouthful, I will go "ahhh"...like super enjoy loh.... :)

My progress as I near 22 months old in 2 days' time.

When I am a good boy, the way I behave...it seemed as if I am a big boy le.
But when I am a naughty boy... ... I still am a baby.

Throwing tantrums once in a while, especially when I dont get to watch my disc again. Knowing Mummy will refuse to give in to me...I will look for Grandma or Grandpa. Sometimes I have my way when Mummy is not around...but most of the time when Mummy is around, I will just have to throw my tantrums in vain.

Of recent, I know how to say PooPoo when I poo. And for quite sometime, when mummy ask me to pee, I will pee. So perhaps soon I will do some realtime potty training regularly and get the diapers wearing over in the net couple of months... ... Mummy wants to go easy on me on this part as she read that Boy's maturity in terms of bladder control only starts near to 22 months and onwards...she doesn't want to stress me over this as she knows when I am ready, I will do it more easily then pushing me to do it. :)

Recently I am saying more words of different tones and I am able to say a few words together...
Mummy is also pleasantly surprised that I know quite a number of the 26 alphabets. :) Initially she thought it was probably a coincidence that I happen to say the letters...however, after a few more times of "coincidence", now she is convinced that I know. She loves it when I say "Q" the most...cos I will go "Q" and "shhh" and put a finger on my lips...meaning "Q" FOR "Quiet"....
:) Then "B" stands for "Barney" but I don't pronounce Barney as Barney....instead I say "Mi-a".
And I know where to put them back on the ABC wooden puzzle....... ;) one of my recent past time, instead of throwing them around which I use to do...

I always try to help daddy carry his water bottle or bag when he reaches home...i will go over and say ... "help. Help." :) i think daddy likes it....

I can eat pretty well on my own, holding the spoon and bowl...sticking the spoon of food into my mouth...just that i will be slow and if i play with the food, it can be a little messy... so got to bear with me. hehhehe

Mummy's not too concerned about my gross and fine motor skills as I seemed to be doing & progressing well enough... ...just maybe other areas like language and counting...hopefully I will be good. :)

2009: Mummy & Daddy DID NOT CELEBRATE both their birthdays together...

Is it because it is a busy year for them?
Or perhaps after reaching parentshood, children's birthday seemed more of a reason to celebrate rather than their own birthdays?

Well, guess it is majorly because of daddy... ...and perhaps current residence is a reason as well.

Anyway, let's hope next year they will resume their birthdays' celebration as a couple!! :)
Daddy & Mummy, maybe next year Asher will celebrate for you, together with didi Ayden. ;p

;p
Loved, Asher

2 nights ago...

while in the car to tiong bahru plaza with daddy and mummy....

suddenly i just called "Daddy" & "Mummy"...
instead of the usual "di-dae" & "mi-ma" that I would have called...

mummy was startled yet a little hmm...weird feeling that her Asher Baby really has become a big boy...though she knew the day would come when I start behaving like one...

but sometimes it is just so contradicting...
that on one hand the adults like mummy do look forward to us growing and want us to learn this learn that...but on the other hand, can't help but feel that time flies and cant capture back how we were like as a baby and at different phases...

maybe my mum's just a weird emtional freak...always have so much thoughts and feel in her...

hee..;p

still, Baby Asher, OOPs...
Asher loves you!
