9 months and wearing red...

Phew...am glad that CNY is over...it has been such a necessary disruption for Zac and for me!! But it was good visiting friends and family...of which it was the first time many of them were being acquainted with Zac. He was brilliantly well behaved and happy at times but there were OTHER times when he was OTHERWISE. But he got the hang of receiving ang baos pretty quick! Will post a picture of him in a china man outfit when i get hold of that picture.
Zac is now 9 months...its time for me to sit and think of all that this little man has achieved...so that i'll be encouraged to push on during his VERY DIFFICULT times!!
- He is now able to crawl pretty efficiently...
- He is a leaking tap! He drools constantly and abundantly!! WHERE are those teeth??
- He is able to pull himself up and is constantly practising his new skill. And of cos he choses to practise on the wobbliest of chairs! He is now officially a walking hazard!
- In one weekend...we had to lower his cot to the bottom (which makes changing him a back breaking feat) and changed his back facing car seat to front facing...which he absolutely LOVES. My little man is growing up!!
- He is now more adventurous with food...more interested in trying what we are eating than his own food at times.
- He says da da di di quite discriminately now...still trying to figure out if he knows who he is calling. And mumbles some other indiscriminate sounds too. No sign of "ma ma" yet! Not fair!
- He is more receptive of other newer books now...he used to want me to read the same few favourite books before.
- He is able to recognise familiar faces alot quicker now...slowly warming up to strangers.
- He is not content to SIT in his bath tub now...he wants to STAND and touch everything around him.
- He loves water...first swimming experience was quite pleasant...yet to bring him again.
- He still hates to wear shoes!
- Oh yah...and he is able to clap on demand! Recognises a few words...like lights, lanterns and mirror.

9 months...and counting...
