Buzzz!!!!

I have chance upon a musical talent in the form of Robbie Lim Yi Kai. When you watch the video, see and hear him buzz like a pro. I can see him picking up the trumpet and blow like Dizzy Gillespie or Wynton Marsalis.

I want Robbie to learn to play the piano first, then the trumpet. I speak from experience, as I noticed I'm struggling, musically, because of the lack of keyboard knowledge. I'm currently studying to further my musical endeavours, and I'm learning new things as I fumble my way through this course. Similarly, Robbie is learning new experiences, trying new things, learning new skills. In a way, I have a lot to learn from him.... Him, learning to stand and sit, learning now to speak(baby garbble) etc. He will keep trying and trying till he gets it right. Now, that's determination. That's my boy! And daddy has a lot to learn from you...

Superman!

It's been sometime since I wrote on this blog... and from the last time until now, Robbie has really been fabulous. He's starting to use his cries to get what he wants, and we all always give in to him... How not to... when he gives you that sad look on his face, with his pouty lips, and his moaning cries, all just hynotizes you. everyone just falls into his spell and rushes to pick him up or start cajoling him, with Oooos and aulalala.

Anyway, Robbie's 2 bottom teeth has emerged and he's able to stand and sit without much help. I must admit sometimes when you look at him trying to stand and sit on his own, it's very nerve wrecking. There were times when he lost balance, hit his head and started crying.... Heart pain!! But I guess he has got to fall a few times in order to learn. When he's playing, I realize that he's a very destructive fellow. When I pack up his toy in the box, he will without fail, always upturn the box and empty the contents. What's worse is when we put him on the majong table... he will sweep the tiles violently, while all of us watch in amazement.

I love my Baby Robbie and wifey wife Yvette.

Robbie getting a haircut for Chinese New Year

Can't believe its February 2009 already ... my Robbie Baby is turning 8 months soon ... This only hit me when I was purchasing some baby food at NTUC a couple of hours ago. I was checking out the baby food that is for babies 3-6 months and I suddenly realised, I should be buying baby food that is more suitable for babies above 6 months. WOW ... its too fast. I better catch up fast. Otherwise Robbie will be 5 and still saying "da da da".

Looking through the recent pictures taken of my little bulldozer, I caught sight of the above pics and truly understand why many friends have commented that Robbie looks really cheeky and mischievous. Hopefully Robbie would not give me too much of a hard time .. Alas, what comes around goes around .... I gave my mom a hard time so ..... Robbie. MERCY ppplleaseeeee!!!!

I lourvvvveee you RobBie BabY ....

Bertie Bert, although you are unable to lift your butt off the chair in front of the mahjong table, I still love you ... a little .... fading fasssstttttt
