Been a tiring journey

As Chinese New Year approaches, we have to start planning for how we want to go about our visiting. It is a tradition that we go visit and pay respect to our elders. I can remember the first time Chase went to see his great grandparents on his father's side, I was very displeased that they burnt offering papers and choked up the corridor with smoke. Hope this year will be a better year.

Chase is now a year plus and he still can't talk. Guess he is a late bloomer. Wonder if it is because he is not drinking enough milk to develop his brain or has his head been bumped on too many times that he has become a bit slow. I hope it is none of the above and once he grows up he will be an intelligent boy. However, we can see now that he is rather cheeky and always playing a fool. :) When he doesn't cry and isn't difficult, he is indeed a very cute and loveable boy.

Recently, he has been difficult to feed when it comes to formula milk and porridge. Wonder if it is because he doesn't like tasty stuff or what not. I gave him his milk in his sippy cup and he seems to drink a lot faster. On good days, I managed to feed him above his minimum requirement. And on not so good days...I can't seem to feed him much. Thank God for his favourite DVD, I manage to feed him what he requires.

I do hope he grows up real soon to be able to communicate with me on his desires and why he is being difficult although I know it would be hard for him to explain himself yet when he first start to speak but I really can't wait.

He has also recently showed signs of crawling more steadily however he still prefers to stand. I guess he finds crawling a pain in the knee. :)

I should write more but it is soon going to be his meal time. I will update again soon I promise. Hope to enroll him into school soon and that he can settle in well and be less difficult.
