Crawling and other things

Lazy Sol-B is finally learning to crawl. At first, he's willing to crawl after a toy. But now, he'll only crawl hard for cheerios!

Sol-B hates having his nose picked and cleaned. Sometimes he doesn't like his teeth brushed and wiped as well. Usually he doesn't like his face wiped too! Aiya!

Happy birthday Sol-B!

Sol-B is one year old!!! Congrats!!! We're all so proud of you.

Mah Mah came back from HK just to celebrate with Sol-B on this special occasion. Tonight we invited Gung Gung, Por Por, great uncle and aunt, and also Kau Fu, Auntie Agnes and Uncle Derek for a family celebration.

Here are some recent videos.

Kissing Mama:




Visit from Auntie Muf and Uncle John. Sol-B loves Auntie Muf!

Waving bye bye:


Drinking water from straw cup. Sol-B hates drinking water. Actually, he doesn't like drinking anything in particular (except mama's breast milk of course). So sometimes we have to distract him, but sometimes if he's in the mood, he'll drink from the cup!

More playtime

Sol-B is generally a happy boy. He also prefers female presence!

He is also so attracted to Kelly (Ivan's gf) whenever she is over. Look at how adoringly he is looking at her!


But of course now he is older, he voices his opinions a lot stronger. Sol-B is having enough of his exersaucer and wants up!

Excited about his new toy!


Whenever he is happy, he kicks his feet in rapid fashion!

A few first times

A few of Sol-B's first times lately:

Last Saturday was Sol-B's first time taking swimming lessons. The instructor showed us a few ways to hold baby in water, kick baby's legs in water, jump into the water from sitting at the edge of the pool, and also to chase some balls and toys. It was a lot of fun! Sol-B, as usual, was too busy looking around at the new surroundings. At one point, he even saw daddy WAY up in the second floor pool viewing area and SMILED!



Sol-B can now do high fives!


Sol-B giving mommy and daddy a kiss!


I'll be going back to work tomorrow! Only starting out part time, which is good so that Sol-B and his caregivers (Yea Yea, Por Por) can adjust.

Scratchy boy


Sol-B loves to scratch himself. His scratchy head move is his signature move. Lately he likes to hit his head more.



He was already hitting his head 2 months ago!




A couple of before/after bath videos, of him scratching his body again. hahaha

10-month update

Sol-B's 10th month passed by really quickly! He'll be 11 months already next week. Also, I'm going back to work part time really soon...

Yea Yea moved Sol-B's playpen to the kitchen eating area so Sol-B can play there while we eat or doing things in the kitchen. He really knows how to relax and chill out. Once in a while, he'll lie back in his sitting cushion and take a rest. Yea Yea says he plays like a panda!



His favourite toys are: blocks, ball, choo choo train, and these 2 other toys where you press a button and there are animal sounds. Sol-B loves animals and his fav books are animal books as well. He is also quite stubborn where he ALWAYS have to hold something in one hand. Usually it's a block, or if a block is not there, he has to hold this small green ball. If you take it away from him, he'll protest. If he has two things in his two hands, then he'll only give you one of them! I guess he really needs security! Also, he finally learned to "give" this month!



Sol-B is still quite lazy physically. He's great at rolling over now, but still does not like to stand and cannot crawl yet. I try to encourage him every day though!



Sol-B sometimes doesn't want to sleep at night yet, so we let him roll around for 10 min or so on the bed so that he gets tired. Usually after rolling around he falls asleep very quickly. He also talks (babbles) a lot more now.



Today is Baht Baht's birthday! Happy birthday Ivan!

Exersaucer play

Sol-B's relationship is quite a funny one. He was afraid of it when he was little, but was so curious about it. Then was a bit apprehensive when put in it when around 6 months or so. Now he enjoys it quite a lot and plays with every toy. Here are some videos of the progression.

4 months - first few times in the exersaucer. He's too short for it!


5 months - still a little too small for it; his feet was barely touching the ground and he needed towels to prop him up.



6 months - afraid to sit in it all of a sudden, so just studying every toy from the side


8 months - starting to enjoy it, but still not too too active


8 months - starting to jump in it


8 months - sometimes he's very lazy and just doesn't move!


8.5 months - slowly playing in exersaucer


Now at 10 months - he's on the 2nd height level and he's jumping up and down!
