Cola is now 1 year 1 month old

Delightful!
That sums up little Cola from birth till now. His facial features has changed, he's shed his baby looks, but the level of cuteness has not fade now that he can point and say a few words.

"Gup!" He points to Scoop (Bob the builder's bulldozer). Cola crawls to pick out this particular book among the pile of other children books and demand me to read to him everyday. "Okay, this is Scoop. Scoop the big yellow bulldozer. And this is Bob."
"Bab!", Cola repeated after me.

Cola can say so much more at 13 months than EggEgg. He can say "Mama" consistently when he needs me. "Pah Pah 爬爬" (crawl) if he want to chase after EggEgg. And most importantly, "Bah Bah 包包" refers to biscuit or bread, his preferred means of subsistence. We called him the King of Bread (麵包大王) since he loves bread so much. If we were serving rice for dinner, Cola would shake his head with a slow deliberation, lips turned down, a look of disapprove resembling some old grumpy grandpa. He's so cute even when he's resisting food...

Delightful!
Cola's still laughing and giggling as much as he was a baby. "Ek?" He points and asked questions about everything around him.
"Ek?" That's the sky. "Ek?" Those are the xmas lights. "Ek?" That's banana.
"Ah, ah, ah!" So you want some banana?

Cola is slack about learning how to walk. He refuses to use the walker, preferring to cling to my legs instead as I move around the house. (Just a few months ago, my body was a piece of driftwood log, where Cola was practicing his crawling skills. Now, am I a pair of circus stilts?) Imagine doing housework with a koala grafted onto the legs... So there I am, using one hand to vacuum the floor while pulling up my pants with the other. Sometimes, when I do the dishes, my pants would completely slide off...

Delightful!
Cola loves the Wiggles as much as EggEgg. He can even shake his fat fingers to do the signature finger-wagging. When the music come on, EggEgg and Cola rolls their hands in sync, some kind of weird dance move. I burst into laughter while sipping my morning coffee. This is certainly a pleasant way to start each day.
