A funny little clip which captured by Berniece's aunt, which she taught Berniece how to say Michael Jackson and she replied - Jackson!

It has been few months since Berniece celebrated her first year birthday, and we were busy with our work (earn more money for little girl's future nursery's fees) until didn't have time to update the blog. Papa and Mommy Berniece did took some picture during these few months up to May, but unfortunately didn't manage to snap pictures of her after that due to camera lost in flight when Papa Berniece came back from US. Luckily grandpa Berniece (Mommy Berniece's father) do have camera and managed to snap photos of her after that. If not, will sure miss a lot of precious moments of Berniece's growth.

Berniece managed to run now, and she really run fast! At the age of 14 months, she managed to climb up the iron door to reach and try to open the padlock. She learned how to talk at the age of 12 months old, and currently picking up a lot of vocabularies: Papa, Mummy, Gong-gong公公 (Mummy Berniece's father), Ah Mah 阿嬷(Mummy Berniece's mother), Ye-ye爷爷(Papa Berniece's father), Nai-nai奶奶(Papa Berniece's monther), Uncle, Aunty, Mum-mum (eat), Na-lai拿来 (bring it here), Xi 洗(wash in Chinese), Car, Fan, Chair, fun饭(rice in Chinese), 喝水(drink water in Chinese), Pen, Phone...

She also learned how to say 'No' if she doesn't want something, she will shake her head when she does not want or refuse to obey. Having a hard time to teach and train her to accept and obey :). There was once when she refused to drink milk, what she did was she shaked her head hard and use her hands to close her mouth to prevent us from forcing the milk bottle into her mouth. Don't know where she go this idea from...

She has strong musical feel in her, whereby she will dance along when she heard music, especially the theme song played in the Taiwanese series movies "Love". Whenever she heard the music, she will start to shake her body, move her hands and legs, swaying left and right. Recently she even knew how to tap her feet according to music beats, which amused me, guess she is ready to go for music class soon :)

Now she is very playful, and she is happy when she is riding her own 'Mercedes' - little tricycle around the house, with her teddy bears as her passengers. Recently she found out that she can use the storage boxes with wheels attached as an alternative of the 'transportation', thus another new model of 'Mercedes' was born, created by herself. She will put her bears in the storage box, then sat in the box and ask one of family members at home to push her around. Before pushing, she will come to us and say "Mammy/Gong-gong...(etc), Vroom!", and we will need to understood that she is asking us to push her around with her sitting inside the box!

Walk walk walk walk...

I learned how to walk when I was 11 months old. Now I am able to walk hands free, without support. Sometimes I will hug my favourite bolster and walking from the living room to the dining room and walked back again to living room.

Got this picture taken during my first lunar birthday celebration at my paternal grandparents' house. New clothes done by grandaunt and new shoes as a gift from my mummy's friend. Nice to see, but with the shoes on, I couldn't walk much as this is the first time I am walking with shoes on. :p

Wooohooo, I am one year old now!!

Yesterday I celebrated my first year old birthday at my maternal grandparents house. Before that I celebrated my lunar first year old birthday as well in my paternal grandparents house in Penang. That's made this the second birthday celebration I got for my first year old birthday.

Papa had brought me a small cute blackberry cake that day, small but nice. After uncle Ping came back from work at night, we started the cake cutting by taking pictures first, then followed by singing birthday song, and lastly blowing candles and cutting cake.

I did my lunar first year old birthday at my paternal grandparents house before that. In that morning I prayed my ancestors to bless me with happiness and health. Then I did my birthday celebration at noon. My aunty made a big fresh cream peach cake for me as present. Got myself a nice party with my cousins showing up to celebrate with me. :)

Happy birthday to me!!

Hello....

(picture taken on 27/12/2008, 10++ months old)

现在的我已经学会大人拿手机听电话哦，每次家人说hello hello时候,我都会把在我手上的东西放在耳边说hi...，家人都被我逗得哈哈大笑。我现在也学会了拍拍手，跟家人玩躲猫猫，在家人说: apom balik时候，我会大声回应：cak! cak! 有时还会把手放在头上，再放下然后说：cak! 上星期还学会对神明拜拜哦，每次看见观音娘娘，或者任何神明，都会主动两手合起来拜拜，呵呵。

现在学会一个字：cat，每次看见猫就会说cat，连别的东西也说是cat，爸爸妈妈一家一旦看我把别的东西说成是cat，就会帮我纠正，说正确的名字给我听，希望我会牢牢记住哦。

新年快到了，看来要学一学怎样向长辈拜年拿红包了！

Teng teng teng!!!

(Picture taken on Nov 5, 2008)

I had learned how to stand and walk supported by unmovable objects around me since I was around 7 months old. I am now trying to learn standing up without supported. When my family started to say "Teng teng teng..." I will be happy to stand up and lift my hands high up the air, face looking up too. The longest time that I stood up without support was around 5 to 6 seconds. Will feel happy and statisfied after that, hehe.

Next trick will be trying to walk without help given by my family :), can't wait to learn how to walk!

Goooing down using my backside... :)

Tomorrow I will be 9 months old and active as usual, until my grandparents have to say "surrender!" to me. :)

Managed to know some tricks in these few months, but Mummy did not notice until recently when she put me on bed and went to take some water in the kitchen. When she came back, she saw I was pushing my backside backwards to the edge of the bed and down using my legs first. (Don't worry, the mattress was placed on the floor without divan...) Clever eh?

I too managed to try crawl up from my playpen and tried to come out, of course with failure (too high), but this brought much terror to my grandparents. :p

My favourite past time now? Playing with clean clothes which grandma took in from outside after these clothes had a nice sunbath. Enjoying to pull the clothes from one sofa to another sofa, especially grandma's long nightclothes.

Will upload more pictures next time, tata! (I can say 'tata' while waving my hand, no joke!)

Spinning away!

8 months passed by, and I have learning new tricks every single day. The latest? Spinning handkerchief.
Grandpa sometimes will spin the handkerchief in order to produce wind to cool me off while feeding me milk during hot days. I found that interesting and decided to test it myself if I am able to do so. Found that it was fun! :)
Spin, spin, spin away!

Updates about me - 19th September 2008

Updates about me:

1. I am now 7 months and 6 days old.
2. I managed to finish my 1 tablespoon of cereal mixed with mommy's milk on last Sunday morning (consider an achievement for me) - first time in finishing my first solid food.
3. I became talkative few days back. My first word? That's "nga nga nga...", then "ba ba ba...", while talking, I will put my hands in mouth to create strange noise...and create more saliva too.

Happy 7 months old to me :)

Waaahhhhhhhhhhh.....(what a wonderful look)

Wuuuuuuu~~Brother I know you want to play with me, but I am scared!!
(This picture was taken when Grandpa's friend brought his grandson along to visit Grandpa, and he tried to play with me. I was moody that time, and felt I was being bullied by him...)
