I am a big boy now

Mummy says I am a big boy now.

I can hold my own bottle.

I can play with the computer.

I can count my fingers.

And I can have punk hair.

So many new things!

I've learnt to spit - phooey! Last Saturday, Mummy and Daddy took me to MPH bookstore and I spit on the new book. That's not as worse yet because I can really spit hard and my saliva will just spray on one big area. At least I don't drool on my shirt when I spit! But Mummy said I am a naughty boy because when she told me to spit on her house buyer's kids the other day, I didn't do it. I just gave them the wide-eyed stare....

I've also found my toes....wriggly wriggly toes....I love to count them and try to put them in my mouth!

My Name Is Khyentse.

My parents named me Khyentse. (Pronounced "Khen" "Zee"). Apparently they went through many names and many months and still couldn't come up with a name of their choice. There was a list but then somehow, those names are just not the one. My soon-to-be godfather suggested to my parents of using Tibetan names. My parents like the idea and have him suggested few. Those names were calculated based on which month i will be borned (april or may). However, my father don't really feel those names are suitable for me. No names were choosen before i arrived. On the first day i cried my first cry, father sort of inspired to name me "Khyentse". After consulted mother, both of them agreed that this would how i will be named.

The name wasn't in the the calculated list . It was however, suggested by my godfather earlier and is a name used by those revered Tibetan gurus. Khyentse is a combination of 2 Tibetan words, 'Khyen' means wisdom and "Tse' means compassion or loving.

Note from Daddee : I wish my boy the wisdom to do the right things & i wish him the love to handle the heart when it is tough to do the right things.

Stupid Eczema!

I've been ploughed real hard with eczema. I have discolouration on my body and scaly skin all around :( Who says all babies have smooth skin? Mummy massages me with baby oil every day and puts baby lotion for me twice a day but my skin is still dry. Dr. Ong has given me two bottles of medicated cream but it only helps supress the itchiness for a while. Sometimes at night, I wake Mummy up coz I'm scratching all over till I bleed and Mummy don't like to see blood over my forehead and legs.

But hey, new itch-free, scratch-free days are ahead of me - Mummy bought some Chinese herbs to bathe me in every day and it seems to be working. Last night, I slept 5 hours straight without waking anyone up!

Still My Favourite Sleeping Corner!

Look at me...what a couch potato I am...

J&J's Massage Session

Mummy took me to Sunway Hotel last Sunday. It was the Johnson & Johnson's Massage Therapy session and there were so many babies! This was the first time that I sat in my car seat in the car as it was a long journey. I love my car seat but Mummy said it was no good because the safety belt didn't work.

Anyway, after the registration counter, Mummy took me to the foot print counter to make some footprints - you know like those doggie footprint designs you see. The people there tickled me when they painted my foot blue and then yellow. Yucks! They even dirtied my new shoes! I started screaming at them....

Anyway, the massage therapy was boring for me because there were just too many people and screaming kids and Mummy scared me off by showing me the black baby dummy. I kept bluffing Mummy that I wanted milk so she could walk me out of the room to the nursing room and I could look at pretty paintings on my way there and pretty lights above me in the room.

In the end, when it was practice time for the massage, I fell asleep. Grandma said the conductor wanted to use me as her model but I was sleeping by then.

The only thing I liked about the trip was the walk to the shopping mall after to get my new car seat. Yay, Mummy bought me the green one which I had my eye on!

A trip to the Shopping Mall!

I went on my frist trip to the shopping mall yesterday! Well, it wasn't really my first but the first 'mall' was the hideous one near the house to buy my cap and Grandpa's birthday cake, so that isn't counted.

Mummy was supposed to buy her acidophilus/lactobacillus yesterday. I hope I can pronounce these words someday. But anyway, Mummy went to the wrong shopping mall so I helped Mummy choose a pair of pants instead. I also went to see fake flowers, household items and toys! Wow....there were so many shiny forks and spoons and the glittering lights really caught my eyes. Then there's the music box at Lovely Lace but Mummy said the ballerina music box is for little girls so she went to the toy shop and chose an elephant pull string instead.

Too bad I didn't get to see puppies and kittens and fish. The Pet Store was closed for renovations but Mummy said she'll bring me to the zoo when I'm six months old!

Mummy carried me facing out in the Baby Bjorn carrier and I love kicking my legs in the air. It is my first time in the Baby Bjorn and I laughed when Mummy tried to put me in it because it all seems so funny!
