Four days after Daniel's birthday, I received a call from Nationwide asking for my exact house location. The delivery guy told me there were three boxes of parcels for me. Well, I didn't order or buy anything online, so I was wondering who was the sender.
Late afternoon, a big Nationwide lorry parked in front of my house. Guess what, the parcels were from Huggies! And there's a letter for me too. Hahaha! I've won the consolation prize in the Si Manja Huggies Baby Contest Rank & Win. I can't believe it! I joined the contest just for fun (I send 10 entries - 10 polybags one week before the closing date).
What're the prizes? Huggies Ultra L54s x 3, Huggies Pull-Ups Pants L12s x 12. Not bad huh?
Daniel, this is your birthday gifts from Huggies. At least mommy can save from buying your diapers. Hehehe......
Time really flies. I remember Daniel was born only a breath ago. Now he has turning ONE. We celebrated his first birthday at my parents' place. It's just a simple celebration and we have invited the same guests that attended his fullmoon party.
The party went on very well and Daniel really behaved on that day. It's seems that he knew he'll be the center of attention that night. I'll let's the pictures tell the story.

Some of the presents...
Daniel really had a birthday bash that night. He was too excited and happy as well. We only managed to get him to sleep at 11.30pm.
Who is this guy?? You MUST get to know him. He is my uncle George a.k.a Joj. He 's the one that took all these memorable photos. He is a professional wedding photographer. You sure will amaze when you see his work. You can see more of his works at here.
Techno Song(s)??? What will pop up in your mind when you heard Techno Song(s)??? Yes...clubbing. But this time it is not about going to pub and dancing all night. Remember in my previous post, I did mention about Daniel "new passion" in Techno Song(s). Now I want to share this video clip with you all.
This is one of my favourite clip. Don't you think he is very cute when he shakes his body like that???
I apologize for my absent for these past few weeks.Due to my work commitment, I’m unable to update my blog like previously. But of course I’ll continue to blog when I’m free.
How time really flies. My Daniel is 11 months old now. Here are some updates about his progress.
Weight
I have lost track about his current weight. Last weight was 10.7kg took on January.
Height
Didn’t measure yet. I guess he is getting taller now.
Gross Motor
Cruising along furniture. Crawling. And start to climb.
He babbled the word “Goa” (Goal) more than dada or mama. *sigh*.
I guess he inherits most of my husband’s hobbies.
Do you want to know more about his hobbies??? Let’s see….
Football
Daniel loves to watch football. Each time you switch on to ESPN, he will said “Goa” Goa…
Techno Songs
Can you believe an 11 months old child loves techno songs rather than children songs??? Daniel is one of them (or maybe the only one in the world??? ). He only loves few children songs – Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, London Bridge In Falling Down, Old Mc Donald Had A Farm, and Are You Sleeping.
How about his sleeping song??? Techno as well. We discovered about this during Chinese New Year celebration when we were back in kampong. He didn’t want to sleep when we sang twinkle twinkle little star (normally he’ll sleep after he watched the video clip)..then my hubby tried this song – L’Amour Toujour by Gigi D’Agostino. Within one minute he fell into deep sleep…ooohhh…how easy!!! From that onward, L’Amour Toujour officially becomes his sleeping song…even his grandma (my mother) learned how to sing the rhythm…hahahaa…so funny…granny sings techno….ooppppsss…don’t tell my mom…
Other Interesting Milestones
Loves to play hide & seek.
Knows how to wave bye bye, kiss your cheek, wink eyes, clap hands, & flying kiss.
Then chewing fingers….chewing toes or anything that he can chew…why…why?
Because Daniel’s 3rd and 4th teeth have erupted.
Poor son…I know he is not feeling comfortable with his itchy gums…before the teeth erupted, he’ll wake up two or three times at night but doesn’t want to drink. Luckily he went back to sleep after few minutes. I guess this is the cycle we may experience for the next two or three years.
Mommies, how do you clean your child’s teeth? Using soft cloth or baby tooth brush? Mind to share?
