Yesterday, Mom decided to enter me in some baby contest. She said, it does not matter whether I win or lose as long as I have tried. It’s true, you will never know the taste of the pudding unless you take a bite. Good thing I’ve learned this first-hand from my Mom. It makes me brave enough to try many things — like the one shown in the picture where I made my initial attempt to crawl.

Anyway, wish me luck!

Hi everyone! This week I discovered a fun game called peek-a-boo. Since we could not go out of our house because of strong wind and heavy rain (Typhoon Frank) last Sunday, we just stayed in our bed all day long. While playing with me, Dad instantly disappeared. I could not see him nor hear him anymore. All of a sudden, his face magically appeared from underneath the blanket while saying the magical word “Peek-a-boo”. Dad repeated this trick many times and I couldn’t help to giggle everytime he appeared and said the magic word.

I really love this game, and I had a great time! Someday I hope to play this game with you too.
