Lucas is 9-month old!!!

Lucas reaches his 9 months today and also some milestones - his first teeth has just come out yesterday, and he can almost stand up without any support.

He is very talkative this few days. Every time when he sees me when I come back home, he babbles lot of things, seems to tell me what adventures he experienced before.

The speed of baby development is much faster than what you expect. He will do somethings that surprises you before you know how to react to it. Raising a baby is exhaustive and you may have to sacrifice something, but what you gain is much more valuable. Having a baby will also let you grow.

Sometimes I would really want to quit my job to be a full time mother. Then I may not be able to achieve self career attainment, but I can devote all my knowledge and time to my precious baby, which is actually more meaningful and fulfilling.

However, as what I mentioned previously, the street-smart-knowledge that a working mom can provide to the baby is also valuable, and she can greatly help the family in economic aspect. It is not bad to offer a shoulder to bear the financial burden of a family.

Lucas gives me a new definition of life.

豬年快樂

Lucas knows how to wave people

Lucas can associate 'bye-bye' to waving hand. If you say good bye to him, he will wave his little hands fiercely. If he is exciting, he will wave both hands.

He had gotten flu since end December but he still cannot recovered 100%, now it develops coughing. The doctor prescribed anti-biotic to him in the second visit. I think he is a good doc because he doesn't use a fast but too strong way to let the baby get healed in order to impress the parents, instead, he prefers to let the kids to build the immune system by themselves first, and use anti-biotic if it is really necessary.

Guess what, now he has developed a concept of 'daddy & mommy are going to work'. When we say goodbye before work, he looks like he misses us. Luckily our family still have literally a bunch of persons can play with him while we leave.

When will he start walking? He can stand firm with holding some support, you can also see he is envious on Ching Ching who can walk. I have a gut feel that he can walk before his 1 year old.

Rash and 'Yeah'

Last Friday I worried so much because baby got rashes all over his body and some on his face. The doc said he was infected by some virus such as flu or cold. Luckily it was not very serious and the red spot vanished yesterday.

I felt very upset because baby kept having sick in this few weeks. The doc comforted us and actually it is an effective way to build his immune system.

Anyway, Baby still has running nose and hope he will totally recover soon.

Last Sunday, Baby yelled out 'Yeah!!' when he was exciting! When will he say "MOM"?

Breaking news - Baby says the first word 'Dad'

Lucas just reaches his 8 months yesterday. When we played with him in the morning time, he spoke 'DAD' to us suddenly. I opened my eyes wide, then I echoed back 'DAD', he smiled cheerfully and replied me another 'DAD' again.

Needless to say, Jeff had a very very big grin on his face, I guess he almost cried, what a touching moment.

We are so lucky to witness the first word comes from baby's mouth, because it is very easy to miss the 'first time' of baby as you need to work for a long time outside being a working parent.

Our maid told us that baby knows how to wave his hands when you say 'bye-bye' to him. He did it first time when we had gone for work last Friday.

What a big progress!!

He is improving

Lucas now starts to identify what is edible and what should not be put inside the mouth, and he understands the word 'no' if you repeat it several times.

And he wants people praise him, after all, everyone like to be appreciated. Yesterday when a roomful of people clapped hands because he could finish 7 oz. milk in 5 minutes, he was really in natural high and spoke to us very very loud, his eyes were shining and with the reddish cheeks.

He pulled Ching's hair

Last night when we just arrived home from work, Lucas pulled his 16-month cousin Ching Ching's hair. Ching Ching then screamed loudly and made everyone jumped. When I was cuddling her, Lucas burst into cry. This mischievous boy acted like he is innocent and wanted people to care about him.

Sore throat

I think I am the one who transmitted the sore throat and flu to BB when he kissed, actually bite my lips last weekend. Now he still has running nose, but is getting better.

Lucas can understand what we are talking for quite some time. For example, if I ask him 'Where is your friend Panda?' His gaze will fall on the panda stuff animal.

He develops his own set of language, '
Hey!!' (Meaning: mommy, Daddy, hey, you...)
Ah!! (Meaning: Our domestic help)
Ah kee!! (Meaning: I am happy!)
Aiya! (It annoys me!)

Heavenly divine

Yesterday we bought baby to Sai Kung and had an island hopping. We went to an island by a Sampan. It only took 10 minutes from Sai Kung. Lucas loved the place so much, he was kicking and cheering happily on the beach.

I fed him milk there. He enjoyed the meal with a panoramic sea view and cool sea breeze. Isn't it the ultimate enjoyment?

Lucas stands, and even walks!!

Little Lucas must be a sport-loving baby, he is exciting when watching NBA in TV, and cheering when he sees someone play tennis.

Now if you put your fingers inside his hands, he will raise himself up and stand firmly on the ground. He will also find some support, e.g. stool or storage box to stand up. Lucas also loves walking and jumping, he will show his toothless laugh when walking towards you.

Sometimes, he will even challenge himself by releasing one of your hands when standing up. This is a really adventurous and aggressive baby. We are so proud of you son.

A new year with Baby

This year when we stepped into 2007, I counted down with Jeff, in our bedroom. Baby was having a sound sleep in his bedroom.

Remember last year we had a count down party in my parents' home, also with my aunt's family. I was in my 4 months pregnancy, did not really look like an expecting mom.

One year later, an angel-like baby who has spent already 7 months with us is in the next room, enjoying his sweet dream.

Thanks god for such a miracle happens on us. All the best for him.

Wetland Park Visit

Here is a nice place, a good travel spot especially in sunny winter time.

Lucas loves outdoor place so much, he is apparently with the extrovert trait, I do think that he will be end up in National Geographic somedays when he grows up. Will he be the most handsome geologist?

New 'skill' of Lucas

Since he reached the 7th month, Lucas picked up a new 'skill' - when you take something that he is grabbing, or stop him licking anything, he will distort his red face and cry loudly.

Now he developed concepts of 'Mine' and 'My Freedom', but he still cannot recognize what is food and what is not edible, that is why he will feel sad when we do not allow him to bit our Toshiba notebook.

Noel!!!!!!

My dearest readers MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

May I convey you the warmest blessing in this festive season!!!

Talkative Lucas

I feel that the cognitive development of Lucas is progressing in an unbelievable speed, he starts to understand the environment around him.

And starting from yesterday, I sense that he would miss me and Jeff if we leave home for work, you can read his facial expression, his smile fades away slowly when we are leaving. Every night when we get back, he becomes very exciting and opens his arms to ask for hugging.

Now he speaks always especially when everyone is talking. Last night when we had dinner, he had made noise for quite some time but not one was aware about this as we were in a big discussion, then suddenly he cried impatiently. It seemed that he complaint no one paid attention to him.

It is so good to have interaction with my baby!!!
