Walking in Boots

Mommy has forgotten to post this video clip taken in Apr 07 showing me walking in boots. Here it goes....

The Origin of My Name

Mommy heard from her MSN kakis (Dec mommies) that tagging is now the latest trend, and she hope either 1 of her kakis will tag her so that she can start writing. Finally someone tag on her and this super blur Mommy's 1st thought was Aunty Grace when she saw the word Jayden appeared, without seeing that it is Jayden Tang. Haha... So it was Aunty Lily (Yang Yang aka Jayden Tang's Mommy) who has tagged this super blur Mommy of mine...

How did I get my chinese name?
As soon as Mommy found out that she was pregnant, she told Daddy that she wants the chinese word 恩 to form part of my chinese name. The reason why she chose 恩 was she strongly felt that I am a miracle from God and we should give thanks (感恩) for His Mighty Works.

Somehow it was a confirmation from God when my Por Por (AMK) also mentioned to Mommy that she wants 恩 to be 1 of my chinese name character. Por Por has been praying fervently to God that Daddy & Mommy will have a child soon, and now God answered Por Por's prayer.

During the routine gynae's visit at Uncle Fong Yang's clinic, I have been using my back to face my parents & Uncle Fong, so my parents did not find out my gender. They came out with 2 names - 恩齐， 恩泓 if I am a boy and 恩琦 if I am a girl.

Finally my gender was known after Mommy gone for her amnio test. So 恩琦 shall be KIV if my parents decided to try for 2nd baby and if it is a 'mei-mei'.

Daddy has been searching for a book about calculating the strokes of chinese name to determine if it is good or bad names, as his current one was a old edition. After much searching, he finally found the new edition at a bookshop in IMM Jurong. He was so engrossed in calculating the strokes for the 2 names he had earlier on. After much calculation, he told Mommy that these 2 names are no-no for me as there are considered bad when combine with Daddy's surname 饶.

Daddy has to re-calculate to find the most suitable name for me and finally after days of calculation, he decided on 维恩 as this name combined with 饶 fits to a T and it bring forth good things in my life.

Why Ernest?
The reason is very simple because Mommy wanted a Christian name that rhyme closely to 恩(En), so she chose Ernest.

Why Wee An?
Also very simple reason. Daddy feels that we should not forget our roots and he insisted that I should have a dialect name on my BC and not just a hanyu-pinyin name after my surname. After discussing with Suk-Suk Marcus, "Wee An" is the closest match to Daddy's dialect group - Khek.

I supposed all of you are used to hearing or calling me EnEn. Let me present my full name to everybody. I am Ngau Wee An Ernest (Rao Wei'En - 饶维恩）.

Now it is my blur Mommy's turn to tag on Aunty Eunice (Ziv Ziv's Mommy).

I love to 'feed' my 'pig-pig'

Long time never share any video on me. Here is a video captured by Mommy of me putting coins into my cute little Piggy Bank.

Every morning, I will ask Mommy for coins (50cents & S$1) to 'feed' my 'pig-pig' without fail and I will plant a small kiss on my 'pig-pig' before putting it back into the drawer.

My parents will give me round of applause whenever I managed to slot the coins into my 'pig-pig' (trust me.. it took me some time to perfect this skill).

Daddy always reminds us that being thrifty is a good virtue and our savings will come in handy on rainy days...

Me at 17 months old

Hello everyone... Do you MISS me?? Haha...

It has been a super loooooong time since Mommy last posted here.. She is busy at work plus super busy MSN-ing with her 2 groups of kakis...

I am into my 17 months 2 days old as I m posting, and soon I will be 18 months and me now classified as toddler and not baby..

Here are my latest stats: -
Weight: 11.3 kgs
Height: 79 cm

Shorty after I have turned 1 year old, I can walk. After few months of mastering, now I can walk freely on my own in our house or out at shopping malls, but still prone to falls at times.

I love climbing up & down at our sofa settee and my parent's comfy bed. I love playing with my toys and sitting on my Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Musical Learning Chair.

I can speak simple words like: -
* Papa (this is the 1st word I uttered)
* Ma Ma (a long wait for Mommy)
* Por Por
* Gong
* Flower
* Ball
* No more
* Bye
* Hi
* Throw
* Mum-Mum (aka eating)
* Hot
* Milk
* Cat
* Mm-Muai (in Khek - aka No)
* Kakak
* Nana (aka banana)

I can understand what the adults are saying (though I cant speak much now): -
* Kiss your bear bear
* Do you want to drink milk
* It is milk-milk time
* Wave "good-bye"
* Send your "Flying Kiss"
* Give me a "Kiss" & "hug" me
* Do you want to poo poo
* Let's go to Music Room
* Let's go to Papa's shop
* Pom-Pom time
* Where is the flower
* Where is the ball
* Time to feed piggy
* Show us how you dance

So far, I have tried so many types of food and I quite like most of them: -
Baby Food
multigrain cereals, baby oats, rice krispies, cornflakes, cheerios, baby biscuits, fruit juice, delrosa rose hip syrup
Fruits
strawberry, cherry, golden kiwi, banana, green & red apples, china pear, green pear, durian, mango
Veggies
baby spinach, brocolli, brussel sprout, carrot, cauliflower, chinese spinach, jap sweet potatoes, pumpkin, sweet peas, US potatoes
Meat
minced beef, chicken & pork
Seafood
cod fish, ngor fish (aka threadfin fish), red garouper, sheng yu (aka snakehead fish), bit of prawn & crab meat and many more food to add on... haha..

Mommy also let me tried some adult food like chwee kueh, chee cheong fun, fried bee hoon, hotcakes, waffle (home made), mango pudding, sponge cake etc. These are definitely more tastier than my food!

Ever since sleeping with my parents, I can now clock-in at least 12 hours of sleep at night w/o waking up, except when I am hungry. And daytime, I can sleep for a total of 4 hours during my morning & late afternoon nap. My PD Dr Lee is very happy with my current weight except she finds my height a bit below average.... haha

I will continue to update whenever my 'typist' is free.... Happy Reading!
