San Antonio (21st - 23rd October 2007)

We started the day early...as we have about 4 hours to reach San Antonio. Elliot was woken up from his sleep, and has to travel in his pyjamas. We travelled more then 4 hours though, becuse we tend to need more time to feed elliot as he was too distracted to eat. Overall his "performance" was still excellent, he managed to sleep in the car and wasn't cranky through out the road trip. Seems like he enjoyed sitting in the car, watching the scenery...

I'm Mummy's Toy again...

"Huh?"

"i think there's something on my head."

"Nevermind about it, I think what's on the TV is more interesting..."

Elliot's Portrait (by Mummy)

Funny faces

From Mummy:
When Elliot is in his playpen, sometimes he'll accidently press his face against the netted sides without realising how funny he looks. So I decided to capture these funny shots that day, and when he realise what I am doing, he purposely pressed his face against the net, this shows how mischievious he is and how much he loves the camera.

JumpStart Story Time at the Irving Art Centre

From Mummy:
Brought Elliot to Irving Art Centre for a Jump Start Story Time session. It comprises of story time, dancing and art & craft. When we arrived, I wanted to place Elliot on the mat where all the children were sitted. He started crying. I think it is because he is in a new environment and felt very insecure. After calming him down for 5 mins, he started crawling and walking around, exploring every corner of the room, and would stop to listen to the story for 10 seconds and continue with his own activity again. I guess he is abit too young for such stuff, but its a good experience for him. At least he is out of the house and not watching Noggins (His favourite tv programme). And we had fun. Its always good to expose him to something different and get a chance to see other kids and babies. I'll definately bring to there again when he is abit older, so that he get to enjoy it better.

Windows & Me...

Now that I can walk quite abit, sometimes I'll walk to the window to take a peep at the outside world. I see cars, trees, houses, people, grasses, flowers from these windows, and when its night time, I see lights and also my own reflection on the window... Mummy and Daddy had the window blinds drew up for me. I'm not too tall and the height of the window is perfect . Its not dangerous at all as the windows are closed. I like seeing the outside world...

Snack time

Elliot enjoys his snack time. He can feed himself with the little biscuits and fruits really well. He can even hold his sippy cup up and drink from it. He is really serious about his snack time, putting every little pieces into his mouth, concentrating hard on his bowl filled with snacks. Its simply just eat and no smile...

Mischievious Little Elliot

See how mischievious little Elliot is. When I say, "1, 2, 3, smile!" Instead of facing the camera and smile, which is what he'll usually do. This time he purposely cover his face with his both hands.

I am really walking now...

I am really walking now, and this make Mummy and Daddy really busy. They have to watch over me every minute, every second. They even bought a gate to block the kitchen so I won't be able to sneak into the kitchen and they won't have to stop me every now and then.

Haircut

My hair was really long, so Mummy decided to cut my hair. I was a good boy, sitting there quietly while she was cutting, of course with the help of a biscuit, heehee... It was quite a mess actually, hair was all over the place and after this time, Mummy decided to bring me to a hair salon to cut, because she felt it is not worth the trouble, she spend more time clearing up the mess then cutting my hair, but I felt she cut it quite well. She said probably when I am a little older and she'll do it at the balcony so it would not turn out to be so messy.

Here's how I look before the haircut.


Here's how I look after the haircut.
