Wobble Bear

This week, the flat seems very full with Little Gugu (Aunty Helen) here and with Big Gugu taking a well-earned rest from work last week. I took my first steps on my own during this week. I performed for Mama and Papa when they logged on for a video-chat.

Little Gugu has become my shadow, she gets up every morning when she hears me sing along to Wheels on the Bus so she too could sing along too ...she doesn't know how funny she looks when she's bobbing along with the music ;-). When we are finished playing we sit and read together. Sometimes, I bring a particular book for Gugu to read to me - my current favourite is "Lets make a noise". She read me this a couple of times this week. I enjoyed this so much that after both sessions I would push the book towards Gugu with the pages open for an encore.

Gugu likes to read Wobble Bear to me as she thinks I look like Wobble Bear. I like Wobble Bear cos I'm wibbling wobbling all over the place at the moment. Gugu's promised to send me more Wobble Bear books when she gets back to London.

Everyone is horrified that I put everything in my mouth to chewing: chairs, my playpen, my books - poor Thomas & Maisy :-( , shoes if they are left out. Gugu had to put her foot down when I tried to eat the skirting board. It's been so much worse at the moment as I'm growing more teeth near the back, and my gums are sooooo itchy. Apparently, I now have my pre-molars, whatever they are (?)

I have been a lot more active since Gugu arrived from London. I enjoy rushing around here at home, repeatedly climbing the sofa, playing throw and catch with my balls, playing bricks and playing combat underneath the dining table or baby-gym. With all the activity, I now need to eat more. When we were at dim sum yesterday after I'd eaten a big lunch of my own, I still managed to eat two char siu baos - without the char siu :-). Then I had a whole jar of tropical fruit for pudding at dinner. Grandma is thinking to adding fruit to my dinner menu going forward, yummy ;-O

Easter Monday

Little Gugu arrived from London Friday afternoon, and we have been inseparable :-) She plays with me all the time and shows me how to scoot around the floor properly ;-) ...the floor is so much more fun, and tasty too. I'm quite nifty on my feet now but I still prefer to scoot around on all fours. Apart from being extra speedy, everyone loves it when I go army combat style on my tummy & elbows, and are so proud of me when I reverse out of the way. They think I'm a little dog cos I like to rush to the door when I hear someone arrive, then reverse, rear up and bounce on my knees to say hello. (I have to bleat a lot to remind them I'm a little ram!)

Gugu has taken me out a few times already. For instance, we went to the Jockey club, we also went to visit Gugu's friend Auntie Elsie and her family. I was on my best behaviour and Uncle Lam was so impressed he spent the whole time entertaining me and showing me their beautiful home in Hong Lok Yuen. They have two children - Ollie, who had his 9th birthday yesterday, and his sister Jade, who turned 7 at the beginning of April - three little doggies that didn't stop barking, a pond full of fishies, a smaller pond with turtles and a lovely lap pool. Maybe Uncle Lam will let me use the pool if I promise to be very good and to wear the grown-up swimming pants Papa bought me?

I'm now sleeping eleven hours straight every night without waking; I also sleep one and a half hours in the morning and maybe another one and a half hours after lunch. Little Gugu says it's a sure sign I'm a Cheung. I tell Little Gugu that I need to sleep lots so I can grown big and strong like Papa.......
