Happy new year of the horse!

The first day of the horse year was simply wonderful! Adric really enjoyed himself.. more than his 1st CNY last year..

This year he participated in the reunion dinner..

He was amazing, he sat throughout the steamboat dinner (which lasted a good 1.5 hours) in his high chair! This is definitely the longest he has ever sat on his chair.. Usually he would be screaming to get out at around the 5 min mark..

After dinner we went home and changed into our new PJs..

Adric was really excited, and refused to sleep.. He just kept running around the house.. N guess what time he eventually fell asleep? 1am!! Well, tradition says daddy mummy will have long life if children sleeps late on eve of cny.. So we let him..

Adric woke up at 10am in the morning.. N it's ang pow time! Adric has to give 2 oranges to daddy n mummy to receive the red packet.. But he was more interested in throwing the oranges around than getting the red packets..

After that we went visiting.. 

Adric was the first to be ready, so he was playing at the playground while waiting for daddy..

Then we went to pai nian at grandpa grandma house..

At 2nd grand aunty's house.. There was a big garden with a mini children's playground.. Adric loves it! He doesn't look very happy in the photo cos we had to interrupt his play to take the photo.. Hee

Then we went to gong gong's house.. But no photos there cos Adric fell asleep.. N also we left our camera at 2nd grand aunty's house.. Hee.. Anyway, we'll see gong gong again tdy, we'll rem to take more photos..

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! 

Adric in action

There are so many things I wanna blog about.. Christmas, our super fun and wonderfully planned Taiwan trip (guess who planned it? Heehee), my newfound parenting ideas (just read a few good parenting books..), Adric's cuteness (it's a mum's prerogative to go on and on abt her baby's cuteness right? Hee).. Anyway the list goes on.. Where should I start??

Adric's cuteness of course! 2 weeks ago I came back early from a work trip and got to spend an afternoon with Adric at grandma's.. I usually don't get to see what Adric does on a weekday afternoon, cos I'll be at work..

Anyway here's what he was up to at grandma's, it was non stop action..

Pushing my luggage around.. 

Playing with his sandals.. Adric always has a tinge of cheekiness in his eyes when he is up to something.. I love it!

Playing with the loaf of bread.. The only time he stops is when he is really really tired..

Adric is really growing up to be a fearless boy.. He doesn't cry when he falls down.. He had his first fall (complete with a wound n blood.. sobz) at the playground last week.. He just stood up, touch his knee, and went off playing again.. My brave little boy..

This is the almost recovered wound..

Last weekend when I brought him swimming, he fell into the water (with his head submerged), I quickly picked him up, and was all 'baby are you ok?'.. He looked at me and gave me a why-r-u-so worried-look, and just carried on playing..

My baby cries for many other reasons, (like when I don't allow him 'nang nang'), but fear is not one of them it seems!
