The Laughing Buddha

Donald got a new nickname, laughing Buddha. Obviously, he now laughs all the time, every day! Yes he did cry just like any baby, but he loves to smile and laugh. Simple gestures even just a quick glance at him makes him goes laughing… really enjoyable… that is as long as he discontinue laughing during bed times…

As with any babies I guess, they start to recognize their parents and will smile and love our company. Whenever we walk away from him he almost cries immediately, as long as we go near he would stop almost instantly! But we recently found him smiling and laughing whenever ladies play with him at shopping malls, but he simply stares at the guys…

He’s getting well with Sandra, who loves to amuse him daily with her funny actions. It’s a good thing, as it gives some moment of free time for both me and Caroline. Not when Sandra accidentally step on his leg or fell on him, he screams and Sandra would ran far away with her hands tapping on her chest and goes: “scared… scared…”.

Now he sits on walker, still moving backwards but he’s starting to stand up. With the walker around, the cheeky Sister will definitely take a free ride on it, generous Donald simply looked at her, again… laughing with happiness.

With that little hair, we try to let him wear a cap whenever we are out. And he looks good with a cap, can’t wait to see him with nice hairstyles. With a blink of an eye he would turn over, sometimes stay for as long as an hour, lying down his heard when tired. The mattress always ended up like wet towel as his amazing endless saliva drips.

Chinese New Year everyone was eager to see this new kid on the block. Who wouldn’t love to carry a chubby baby like him during the happy festive? So, he was pass around non-stop. It’s nice to see him calm and happy with all the relatives and crowds and did not cry. He also gets his taste of our family’s adult tradition for the first time, Mahjong and Black Jack in Chinese New Year gatherings. This year, he and Sandra both bring us good wealth! *Grin*

That’s all for the little Donald for now, time to sleep little boy…
