Mummy bought you an exercauser from Orchard OG! Daddy helped to lug it home. We were deciding between an exercauser or a walker but went for the former instead. Mummy's wrist had reached a stage where it hurt too much & Mummy was worried that you might not have the opportunity to practise standing. The exercauser will help you to stand or even jump!

Grandma & Grandpa came to Singapore by train, just to see Ashley! They took care of you during these days & you even pulled Grandpa's nipple! They taught you the word "fan" & you pointed to the fan, when asked. Mummy was so proud of you. Apparently, you followed Grandma around the house during the day, creeping around, with one toy in the one hand! There was once where Grandpa left the house to dispose some rubbish, Grandma came out of the kitchen to find you at the main door, peering out. Haha, you were so inquisitive.

You were in a very good mood this morning because you've had a good night sleep. In propelling yourself forward, as usual, your cheek hit Daddy's knee really hard. My, my, you really cried out in pain.

You were in a cheeky mood in the PM and held your bottle on your own for the first time! We finally got around to getting you a potty but while removing all the stickers from the potty, you'd decided to do your business. Well, guess that you'll have to bless your potty on another day.
