Dear Esther,

  Today you’re 8 months and 1 week old.  Time really flies, when you’re pretty much busy with so many things to do.  Mummy and Daddy been talking how one week just pass by so quickly when we felt that we accomplished just a little.  So what has happened over this past month since daddy last wrote to you.

 

  Well, only just a few weeks ago you learn how to sit without losing your balance.  How did it happened, was because we actually placed you on the floor mattress.  Mummy was about to take your picture, where as Daddy was doing something just next to you.  Suddenly I heard mummy scream, and the next thing you know it we heard a loud thud.  Yes, you actually fell down and knock your head on the ground.  You managed to pull get yourself up, but when you saw how both mummy and daddy panicked, you began to cry.  Mummy and daddy felt so bad whereby we didn’t managed to catch you in time.  But after that incident you never dare to fall anymore.  So I guess there were good and bad things that came out from that experience.  Now we can pretty much leave you inside your tent without worrying you falling here and there anymore.

 

  You can’t crawl yet, but I believe when the time is right you will start moving around like your friend Samantha.  No doubt she’s younger than you a month, but I guess you couldn’t really coordinate your movements yet.  Don’t worry, you’ll be on your feet very soon, as you are pretty much very “steady” with your baby walker. Some how or rather from what I understand from mummy was that, when you’re on the carpeted floor, you tend to work very hard in walking.  But once she placed you on the tile floor, you give yourself a little push and let the stroller carry you away to your destination.  As if you pretty much figured out that the tiles has less friction compared to the carpet.  So I guess you’re one smart little baby.  Hehehe.

 

  You are also currently teething now.  Apart from your other pattern of actions such as the red indian war cry, as well as using your hands to vibrate your lips while making a sound.  These are a very few things you are making both mummy and daddy laugh.  And you’re also getting up quite often nowadays, especially at night.  Most probably you might feel irritated by the little teeth which is starting to show more obvious.  No doubt it’s very painful for you, but mummy and daddy try to help you soothe your gums by giving you the teething tool for you to chew on.  Though it might not help much, but it does keep your mind off from the pain.

 

  Since last month, you have developed another habit where you are able to recognize people already.  You don’t like the idea of other people carrying you, even when both mummy and daddy are just in front of you.  But surprisingly not all were given the same treatment.  Apparently you are kindy selective on who can carry you and who can’t.  Never the less, you never stop smiling at the people you love.  Speaking of which, as of late you have been very “manja” with daddy.  Whenever mummy would bring you down here to the shop and sit on the long bench.  Daddy will always move out from my chair and head over to sit with you and mummy over the long bench.  As soon as daddy sits next to mummy, you would go and reach over daddy’s shirt and start to pull daddy close to you.  You pretty much wanted daddy to carry you around, lol.  But it’s all good, as mummy pretty much is love by you as well.

 

  After having you around for 8 months, we’re pretty much fixed to the program you have installed in our life.  Hehe.  For instance when you get up in the middle of the night, mummy would feed you.  And after a while when it’s close to 5.30-6am, right after mummy feed you.  It’s then daddy’s turn to bring downstairs, and give mummy some rest.  Unfortunately today daddy wasn’t really feeling too well, mummy was the one who brought you down instead.  Lol.  You got to love mummy ya   Well, whenever daddy bring you down to the living room we would always turn on the TV and watch was is on.  Normally around 6am, we would watch whatever is good on either HBO, Star Movie or Cinemax.  But by 6.30am, we would switch to Star World and watch The Simpsons!  Well, you were more interested in the remote control compared to the Simpsons.  Hehehe.  Anyway, by 7 am we would switch to TVIQ where they are showing The Wiggles.  Yes you had fun watching it, especially whenever you see Wags the Dog or Dorothy the Dinosaur.  And by 7.30am we get to watch The Cubeez.  Normally around this time, mummy had already finished her bath, and comes down to prepare breakfast.  Mummy was pretty much impress with daddy because daddy is able to sing almost all the songs which was shown.  I guess you could say we’ve pretty much got brainwashed by them.  Hehehe.

 

  Anyway, Daddy will stop here for now.  But will continue to write again when the time comes.  Never the less, it has been fun writing letters to you know so that when you get a little bit older you pretty much can carry on blogging about your own life.  Well that is if you decide to blog.  Anyway, the other image hostin site is down, so daddy will use multiply to store your pictures for now.  We’re not sure if Multiply will keep our images for a very long time or not, but daddy will definately have other backup sites for all your pictures.  Remember, you can always come to mummy or daddy whenever you need help ya

 

Loving you always,
