Unassisted walk...

Daryl walked unassisted today!!

I was in the kitchen cutting an apple for Daryl when Kel shouted for me. I quickly rushed out to see what happened & I saw Daryl walking towards the dining table from the sofa UNASSISTED!! I was so happy to see that. When he was about to reach the dining table, he sat down & started to crawl. Think he was too tired already. Even though it's a short distance, I am very happy already. My baby is finally walking!!

Notti Daryl

Daryl is 13 months old on 25 Sep 2006!!

His way of celebrating this mini milestone in his life is to wake me & Kel up at about 5am today. *faint* The best thing is: the 2 of us only slept at about 2am coz we were trying to rush a report out. Thus we only got about 3 hours of sleep each.

When Daryl woke up at about 5am, I hugged him tight, hoping that he'll go back to sleep. No such luck! Then Kel tried. Also no luck! He flipped here & there, rolled here & there, kicked me & Kel, he even stood up! *faint*

After a while, Kel got fed up. Thus he carried Daryl up & put him in his cot. Ah... peace & quiet... Daryl entertained himself for a while by playing with his pooh bear toys. But our peace & quiet lasted for only 5 mins. Daryl soon got bored, so he stood up in his cot & started to call us. We ignored him. Then my notti boy decided that he'll throw things at us to wake us up. Luckily his aim is not that good, so he only managed to hit Kel who is nearer to him. Hahaha... Heng ah... He threw his pillow, 2 bolsters, 2 pooh bear toys out. When that got no response from us, he started to cry. Initially it was still bearable, after a while, his cries got louder & louder. Haiz...

Kel then woke up & brought him out to the living room so that I can sleep longer. But it's of no use. As I am already awake, it's very difficult for me to go back & sleep. So I woke up also.

I dun know whether I should laugh or cry. Laugh because Daryl is so smart that he can throw his stuff at us (he usually throw them onto the floor instead) Cry because I got only 3 hours of sleep. From this incident, it shows that my baby is growing up already. He is no longer the baby boy which he used to be. :)

Daryl walked 3 steps

Daryl walked 3 steps by himself today!!

He did it when we were both on the bed watching TV. He was so happy to have my company that he refused to sleep at his usual bedtime. He was rolling about, trying to somersault, etc... Suddenly, he got up, stood there for a while, then he started walking!! He took 3 steps before collapsing on the bed. Hehe...

I tried to get him to walk again, but he refused to. Notti boy...
