Ace 9 Mth Report

Ace went for his check up today....

Boy.. is he a huge baby.. he is alreayd 77.5cm tall and is 11.1kg heavy... and he is onli 9 mths! The nurse says that puts him at the 90th percentile... but not to worry, he is not overweight cos he is a very tall baby.

Basically, they just asked him to sit, stand, let him listen to sounds and see if he reacts. Ace passed all the tests with flying colours... the nurse said he is very clever cos she tried to let him listen to a high pitched sound on the right side.. and he turned around.. and when the nurse went to the middle.. Ace started turning to the right side to wait for her to appear already.. hahahaha ;)

Anyway, Ace had a few 'breakthroughs' today...

FInally, I can feed him VP wtihout having to crush it first. He can now chew VP and swallow without water even. THis is the start of Ace's love affair with Cai Cai Bing (vege biscuit.. tat's wat alot of children call VP) I think.. ;)

And then, there is a chinese saying tat says, gou ji tiao qiang.. which means the dog, when forced to a corner will jump over the wall.. and tat was wat Ace did..

Nope, he didn't try another flying stunt and jump over the wall. But you see.. he was crying for milk and so I asked him to sit in the living room to wait for me while I went to the kitchen to make milk for him. The moment i left, he started crying and he started to crawl towards the kitchen... so i ran back to carry him.. and tried to make milk using one hand while carrying him with the other.

Alas, I decided that was too much for my poor hand.. and so I deposited him into the playpen and went to make milk. To my surprise.. when I came back... Ace was standing in the playpen, with no support and crying while shaking his fists! The power of milk.. hahahahah.....

Past few days he has already been trying to stand but he alwyas can onli stay upright for like 2 or 3 seconds... maybe the tot of not having milk gave him extra strenght to perserveare on.. hahahaha ;)

Also, i noticed that Ace seems to like to sing. WHenever he hears music of people singing songs, he will start to make noises and clap his hands.. it is like his own version of singing.. but of cos, it just sounds like gibberish at the moment... he also likes to clap his hands when he is happy.. and my current hobby is to admire him when he claps.. dunno why.. once i see him clapping happily, i feel happy too...

I went to the library to borrow books for Ace and has been reading aloud to him. So now, he has taken to taking the book, opening it, saying gibberish and closing it.. and opening it and closing it.. all the while trying to talk.. it seems as if he is trying to read aloud as well.. ;)

I cant wait for him to learn how to sleep, change diapers, bath, change clothes... then I will have more time to be Angel and dun have to spend so much time to be MUmmy... ahahhahaha :P But maybe I will worry about a different set of problems then... hiaks..
