Isn't him cute?

I miss YY so much! every time when i look at his pictures or videos, a bright smile will automatically appear on my face :) YY has such a HUGE attraction to everyone. Everyone just Loves him. My sister got so much benefits from people because of YY. I'm sure my sister would argue that she has her own charm too...hehehe :)

YY is only 8 months old when we took the video...he is still learning on a lot of things. i remember when he was in Kuching & Singapore back in August, at that time, he was only 5-6 months old, he was already eager to learn to crawl, speak and stand! he likes people to mimic him...

my mum screamed with joy and he also screamed with joy...every now and then...hahaha..and before he slept at night, he screamed as loud as possible as if to find out how loud he could go. we think he found a new function. Then when he saw us walking and standing up, he also wanted to do the same. I remember seeing him wanted to get a toy so badly that he kept focusing his eyes on the toy while trying to crawl...but of coz at that time he couldn't do it properly...so he stood with his arms and legs, still looking at the target, then moved a bit of hand and leg, then jumped a bit with 4 hands & legs...in less than 5 mins, he got the toy. he was so happy and a determined baby!

He had a lot of toys in his room..but none in the kitchen...we tried to train him to do something whenever possible. Heard from experts that it is better to let babies do things freely and crawl as much as possible in order to develop their brain. I have a friend who didn't have the privilege to crawl at all...guess what? now she is not good in sports, not good in hand-leg coordination, no sense of direction and sometimes she falls down without any reasons. So, the conclusion is, don't restrict babies!

Second day in paris, i actually bought a nice pack of cranberries from the supermarket. The berries looked so delicious...and honestly, i only drank cranberry juice and ate dried cranberries before but never tasted the fresh cranberries...the cranberries were so red and cute that they were practically screaming for me to pick them up, so i bought a pack to try...cost me EUR2.50.... happily going home and took one...gosh, it was SOOOOOoooo sour! it was just not possible to eat it fresh! gosh, now i realized how much sugar has been used to make cranberry products! instead of letting EUR2.50 went to waste, we let YY have it as a toy.

See what he could do with cranberry! he is soooooo adorable!!!!

While yy is eager to grow up, we all feel happy that he is such a bright baby and feel proud of him at the same time...however, it could be such a dilemma to see him grow up so fast too.
