Dear Esther,
Dear Esther,
It’s been over a month since Daddy had written to you. You’ve got to forgive daddy, as daddy was tied up with a lot of unnecessary issues in life whereby now daddy had pretty much managed to clear up a lot of things within these past few weeks. So where do we begin? Well, last month you made your very first trip to Jakarta and boy did you had a great time there with your cousin Venice. It was only a week while we were there, but you have grown so much ever since. One of the things that you pretty much did was learning to play with others, especially with Venice. No doubt that you didn’t know how to share, but fortunately for Venice she always give in to you and pass you whatever toys she has.
During this trip you managed to learn how to start climbing chairs or small tables in order for you to stand. It was pretty much exciting to see you learning new things everyday, especially when you met your other cousins who were running around and having fun. You sat there in amazement while laughing and cheering with them. Both mommy and daddy thought that this was a very good experience for you to learn things, by observing what others are doing.
Apart from that, you just love going to the shopping malls. And not to mention when you and your cousin sat on one of the rides. You were at first very scared of sitting inside the car, but once you’ve got used to it the ride stopped. After that it was on to the train ride, but both you and Venice were not old enough to ride alone. So both mommy’s had to follow as well, while us Daddy stayed outside and took photos as well as videos of your ride on the train.
Another thing that happened during our trip there was that, you learned to crawl on your own. Because previously your mode of transport was pretty much army style as you used your elbows as well as your tummy to get from one place to another. It was then, you also learned how to sit on your own whenever you lie down or in a crawling position. Both mommy and daddy also learn not to leave you alone even when you are sleeping, because there was one time you were crying very loudly when both mummy and daddy was outside. And when we rushed to see what has happened to you, you were on the floor and not on the bed anymore. Apparently you managed to crawl down from the bed, and was probably scared because there was no one around when you woke up. But it’s all good, not to mention whenever you hear Venice’s voice you would suddenly get up and not feel sleepy even if you didn’t slept for the whole day.
Anyway, fast forwarding till today you also had a good time with you Ah Ma who was here with us for a week. So what are your latest “pattern” today? Well, you are more talkative now where by you would just say all sorts of things thinking that we would understand what you are actually saying. You are also right now learning how to stand on your own, and just the other day you managed to take 3 steps before falling down. It won’t be long before you will learn how to fly I suppose. But it is also very difficult for us to keep an eye on you now, especially when you start to put everything and anything into your mouth. Lol. But normally you would do it on purpose especially when all of us are watching you, daddy guess you just love the way we would all freak out and tried to pull whatever thing you had in your mouth. But I guess it’s all about growing up, and daddy still can’t believe that you are already 11 months old. You’ll be one year old in 3 weeks time. Mummy and daddy is now wondering what we should do for your birthday. Oh well, we still have 3 more weeks to decide on what we should do. Anyway, I think Daddy will stop here for now as Daddy is currently having a splitting headache. Probably it’s due to the fact that daddy had a very cold drink just now. Will be writing to you again real soon.
Loving you always,
Daddy
