Happy 9 Months Old

I'm 9 months old today!

Mama wanted to take me along to her floral arrangement class but great-grandma insisted I stay home to keep her company.

No whining or crying for the 4 hours being away from mama! 

Floral arrangement requires lots of patience. It helps mama calm down and focus. I'm not sure if mama can concentrate if I tagged along. 

 9 Months, my tooth is almost breaking through, not quite.

 I get to do a lot more with my fingers. I don't stuff food into my mouth directly, I pull off a  small piece, for example: bread, and then put it in my mouth.  I can also pick up really tiny bread crumbs, before the dogs lick them off the floor! 

  My favorite part of the day, warm bubble bath + no diapers!

 So far, life is good

other than diaper rash.

We're off to Hsinchu tommorow & then a short 2 day trip to Taichung.

After that, mama needs to seriously get down & plan our Japan trip this coming Nov with papa. 

Out & About

On weekends without any plans, we strolled along the National Taiwan University campus. It is still not cool enough to be outdoors. Mama and papa needed a drink, something cool 

Stopped by Baby ballet kitchen, child-friendly cafe~ 

they offer kids baking classes but I'm still too young

There's a play area, filled with books

I get to ride a rocking horse but I was scared ><

Mama had a Tiracinno: tiramisu+cuppucinno, while I had a rice cracker

Sitting next to me is my 3 yr old cousin.

I get so excited when I see my cousin everytime I see her.

We had lunch together this past weekend. 

this is the1st photo of us cousins   

Ashley, Miya & Freddie 

Friends @ Cocorro Cafe

 Hina's mum, the Japanese mama from yoga class invited us to her home this week.

Well, mama was quite puzzled when we headed towards a cafe instead.  

3 musketeers meet again, outside of yoga class for the very 1st time!

It's a kid-friendly cafe.  

We had our own seats while we snacked and chat

3 packs of rice crackers but we wanted more

 Mama's cake & tea! I had my fair share of banana & a tiny bit of cake :) 

 Chihiro and I are both teething

Mama found out Hina is born 12/17, just a day earlier than me! But Hina's born 2 months premature. She enjoys watching us, but she can't leave her mama even for a second!

We're on a busy schedule this week, headed off to the W-house in Hsinchu in the evening, right after tea time with yoga-mates, off to see Papa!

8M2W Yoga Playmates & Tooth

Before mama begin raving about discovering my 1st tooth~

We missed 2 weeks of yoga class being in Singapore and I missed my playmates!

11 mth Yaya took my ribbon off and tried to put it on, well, mama had to lend her a hand eventually

 New toys & friends kept me busy, mama could finally concentrate on her yoga poses

  On the far left of these photos, there's Hina, youngest of us 3 musketeers, also half japanese. She was born 2 months premature. 

 Her book caught our attention

 Hit a button and a japanese song plays

 The other musketeer Chihiro, just 11 days younger than me, wiggled her butt over.  

Chihiro's mama showed us her 1st tooth just yesterday, guess what?

 Mama discovered 2 teeth today!

Lower left slightly breaking through the gum!
