hApPy biRtHdAy DaDdy!

Today is Daddy's birthday. ZaC cherishes every "Daddy time" (swimming, baths, snuggling in bed, etc) as he can only spend time with Daddy at night and during weekends.
Hopefully, ZaC will learn to sing the birthday song for Daddy soon!

ZaC tuRnS 9 mOnthS!

A weekend with Yee Yee just before her company's D&D. Who do you think is the most ADORABLE out of the 3?

ReAdy tO Go!

ZaC loves "gai gai" (going out). He knows when Mummy dresses him up and leaves him in the cot while she gets ready. He will eagerly wait for Daddy to place him in his stroller and push him along the corridor.

It's really amazing to see ZaC imitating our actions...it's a fun game for him too!

ZaC's favourite area is under the dining table. ZaC crawls really fast towards it everytime he spots it. He loves staying under the dining table, exploring the table cloth and patting the chairs with his palms. Soon he will grow taller and his head will reach the glass top of the dining table. Hopefully, he will stop going there by then!

Now he has learnt to maneuver himself around the furniture and also how to get down slowly and safely by landing on his bum lightly. If someone is nearby, he'll stretch his arm to reach out for help. Initially he would turn suddenly or let go and fall back! *gasp*

Here's ZaC playing in his makeshift playground. We have to be creative to keep him occupied and prevent him from exploring some areas in the house which might be dangerous. He loves going through the tunnel and climbing all over the mattress. However, soon he will be venturing somewhere forbidden again.....

ZaC's faVouRiTe sNaCk

Even though ZaC has just finished his porridge, he can never resist the temptaion of having his favourite snack - Gerber Graduate's Finger Food. He loves the Banana Puffs. Mummy has also bought the sweet potato puffs which ZaC hasn't tried. ZaC will surely love them too! However, Mummy will make sure he doesn't have too many at one go or else he may fall sick. He must also drink plenty of water after taking them. Mummy is also using them to teach ZaC to use his thumb and index finger to pick up the little puffs and place them into his mouth. With more practice, ZaC will surely learn soon!

nOw ZaC has a pair of tEeTH!

Wow...ZaC's 2nd tooth has appeared. And look he's already putting them into 'good use' (look at the damage he has done).....

Now we certainly cannot leave him alone in his cot. He's like a little rat, always chewing and nibbling away at everything he can get his hands on!

ZaC's latest discovery is SHADOWS! When the sun shines into the living room, he is fascinated by the shadows cast on the floor. At night, he will follow his own shadow reflection on the floor. It's amusing to see him try to 'chase & catch' his own shawdow!

a dAy iN ZaC's LiFe

Here's a schedule of ZaC's daily activities, which is quite routine now. His mealtimes are quite fixed. He loves mealtimes, regardless of the food given to him. His other tooth has also started growing, so he wants to 'bite' and feel the different textures of his food.

Mummy tries to control his daytime naps to a total of 3 hours. However, he loves to take power naps lasting only 30mins!

Bathtimes are always a joy for ZaC. He loves splashing the water and playing with his bathtime toys.

One of ZaC's favourite activity is lying on the bean bag, chewing his teether. However, he has a 'sharp' bum so he cannot lie on it for long. Now he can even turn himself and wriggle out. In the future, ZaC will definately be fighting with Daddy over it!
