Bye Bye

Now that he knows how to say bye bye, he rarely give us flying kisses any more.

Story for tonight, heard him bid bye bye many times near the shoe rack, and I was thinking who he's bidding bye bye to. And guess what? He's actually looking at his shadow and waved & said "Bye bye! bye bye!....." both H & I were so tickled. Ha ha!

Bah, Bah, Black Sheep

It's ZX's first song which he will sing with me, even it's not the complete song.
And he'll be playing with his little toy sheep while at it. So cute ;-)

Mama sings:
Bah, Bah, Black sheep
Have you any wool
Yes sir, Yes sir, three bags full
One for my master
One for my dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

ZX sings:
Bah, Bah, beh ...
.......... bool
.. sa.. sa...bak pool
One......... ter
One......... dam
One ......... bai
............... (actually the last line got lost :P)

~ Mamabee needs to watch what comes out of her mouth nowadays.

Whiney Crybaby

These days, ZX would:
1) Tests us when he knows the things he does are not allowed.
Last night, he stepped on the his toy phone and looked at us. Papa told him No a few times and then pointed at him and told him with a more authority "No!". Guess what he did? He started to cry and ran to the front door grill, looked out and still crying, hand banging on the door like he wants to let the whole world know what unjustice/unworldly stuff we've done to him... or may be calling out to his babysitter on the 17th floor?!?
The same thing happened for the second time a short while later, this time it's because we forbade him from stepping on the Lego box cover. :P
Hmmm... we were intrigued and amused at the same time.

2) Whine, even the fake whine to get our attention such that his needs are met.

3) Start to hold on to our hands while we bring him for walks. Very different from when he first started to walk... he'd just walked anywhere he liked and refused our hand holds.

~ Mamabee will think more after her lunch

How do you like my hair style?

The hairdo by Papa... :P

A-Tisket, A-Tasket

Ooh... my dream might come true because my baby was carrying the polar bear and danced around with it to Ella's song as it was blaring from the CD player last night. :D

I guess it all boils down to all the dancing we've been doing with ZX since he's about 6 or 7 months. He would squeal with laughter when we carry him bouncing round & round, shimmy and shake.

Nowadays, he will start bouncing, shake his upper body, moving his hands or dance around (literally round & round until he lost balance/dizzy and fell) whenever he hears music. Strangely, he doesn't react to classical music or soft music without the boom boom beat.

One O'Clock Jump

Last week, I was showing ZX how to jump. And so he learns. Initially, he'd just lower himself and got up without lifting feet off the ground.

Now at least one of his feet will go slightly off the floor. And if you're sitting down, he'd come tapping on your knee, utter a sound while pointing to the floor asking you to jump with him.

Hop my little boy, Hop!

~ Mamabee is dreaming her boy will lindy when he grows up...

Vroom Vroom!

"Chia!" ZX will exclaim pointing to the car zooming along the road down below. Then he'd go "woo wooo" in the up & down sing-song voice which sounded like the vehicle engine and motion. Sometimes he would also say "tik tak tik tak" while doing the clenching his hand and open it up again, this was what my eldest sister taught him a month ago about the car signal.

I wonder if he's relating the sound to the car signal or to the car itself... hmmm.

~ MamaBee loves to hear "tik tak tik tak" :D
