The Day I Cried, 'Papa, Mama!'

I guess, to my parents, one of my greatest milestones took place on 15 September 2008.
After giving me a bath, and while dressing me, my Mummy in jest, said, 'Mama, Mama, Mama, MOMMY!'.
On hearing this, it occurred to me that I could say 'Mama' more easily than 'Mommy'.
So I took a deep breath, and hollered, 'MAMA !!'.
This got Mommy and Daddy really excited. It was the first time I spoke something they really wanted to hear.
They asked me to say, 'Papa Mama' and after I struggled for some moments to control my mouth and lips, I hollered, 'BABA, MA !'.
I think I made their day. And they got me to say it all again on film.
That day, I was still shy of 5 months old. To them, it was a FANTASTIC BREAKTHROUGH because most babies only speak after they are a year old or later. They think I am gifted !

Mommy Minder


One of the most important words to me is 'Mama'. I use it to mean dozens of things, like 'I want milk', 'Don't leave me', 'Carry me', 'I miss you' and 'I want to sleep', or even 'Stop digging my booger!'.

'Mamaaaa !!'

Romantic Boy

One day, when I was 5.5 months old and Mommy was eating lunch, she let her hand dangle down and said, 'Hold hands.' I lifted my right hand to grasp hers and then lifted my left as well so I could hand on with TWO hands. She told Daddy later that I am a romantic boy.

But I only hold Daddy with ONE hand (no, I am not biased at all).

Ambushing Daddy



It's 11am and Mommy says Daddy coming home at 7pm. I'm excited to ambush daddy.

I wait. I count with my 10 fingers. He should be back anytime now.

I'm still waiting. I take off my shirt as it is really hot.

Two problems tho', my ammunition DROOL has a trajectory that can only shoot downwards. The 2nd problem is, Mommy says Daddy will be coming home from behind me !

Have A Megawatt Day !

Everywhere I go, people stop to ask how old I am and what I drink. They are surprised that I am only 5 months old and they marvel that breastmilk can take me this far.

The thing that passer-bys and shopping aunties like about me is my megawatt smile. It always makes their day ! Hope my smile brigthens your day too.
