Dear Aidan,
Month #8 welcomes you (and Mama) to a slightly bigger world of food. I must apologise that popcorn, chocolate and a warm plate of Hokkien noodles are out of the question for you at the moment. But steamed pears and apples, yes. Steamed blended spinach and broccoli, yes. And avocado mashed with bananas or bananas with oats, too.
For a newbie in the food world, you sure have discerning tastes. You never open your mouth very big. It's always a tentative taste first to ascertain if you like what's going into it or not. But so far, so good. Mama's enjoying cooking for you, by the way. Can't wait for the day you start eating a proper drumstick!

| Better watch out, I can stand... |
Speaking of eating, I've noticed that besides a good old chew of your favourite books, you're becoming attached to the cloth nappy that's been used as your pillow. Gnashing on it seems to help you sleep. I guess, you're just beginning to explore the world around you with your teeth and tongue. And discovering that while others have a soft toy with badly bitten ears, you can have loads of fraying cloth nappies.

| ...and that just means I can get out soon |
Meanwhile, it's nice to note that you're beyond sitting up quite nicely and crawling on all fours. You're now trying to stand! The world may seem humongous to you right now. But soon, it'll feel quite small. Until then, don't grow up too fast. There's plenty yet to enjoy from your level.

| All right, so you caught me at the toy box. So? |
This month, we've taken out the baby bible Aunty Mei Yoong and Uncle Daniel got for you. The little prayers at the end are really nice and simple. Maybe we can learn how to pray together in simple ways before we attempt the Our Father.

| So...I'm a boy eh? |
