27 Jul 09 ~ You think this is cute?

Well, wait till you see the one Aunty Doris bought me, then! Por Por Kim walked into our house that day and gave me a really cute, furry, colorful many-legged thing that makes a different sound for every leg that you squeeze! She said it was - well, she used a pretty chim name - i think she said it was an Octopus. My aunties and uncles were quite amused by it, probably more so than I was. But I'll try to get a pic of it up when I can, for yal to see.

Anyway yeahh, that day was quite embarrassing for me. My cousin Daniel hadn't seen me for awhile, since he'd gone back to KL to stay for the last few months. So that day, when Mummy and I stepped into Por Por Susan's house, the first thing he yelled when he saw me was, "Avril!!! What happened to YOU??? How come you're so fat!" My face would have gotten red if it wasn't already so.

Anyway, after we got back from KL, Mummy and Daddy brought me for the regular checkup at the doctor's, to make sure I'm growing as a normal three-month-old baby would. So the people in white uniforms checked my weight, and height, and all those kind of stuff. Mummy was waiting to hear what my weight would be, because she kept commenting that I was getting pretty heavy to carry. Well ok, not just Mummy was saying that - so was every other person who tried carrying me, too. But the point is, when they finally announced what my weight was, Daddy and Mummy were not surprised at all. Just... amazed, I guess. Mummy sms-ed Por Por Kim and told her, "Avril is 6.8kg!" And everyone kept saying, "No wonder!"

I was like, "Thanks, guys...."

I suddenly feel like the world is getting bigger and bigger, though...not just me getting bigger. There's like SO many things to see everytime I go out! Whether it's the shopping centre, or the park, or the hawker centre... so many sights, smells, sounds... sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed and will get just a tad fussy. Just a tad. But Mummy and Daddy will carry me, and hold me close, and then I'll feel better.

We celebrated Gong Gong Josh's birthday last night! Went to IKEA to eat..Shu shu Tom carried me from the car to the restaurant then gave me up to the rest to take turns to carry. I guess I should start learning to walk soon, since I don't like sitting in the stroller. He took some pics and showed them to me too.

And tonight some of us are going to meet up for another birthday dinner for him! I'm looking forward to it:)
