Kai is ten months old (1)

Times flies. Kai is exactly 10 months now. Kai is a big boy now.

Kai has got 5 teeth, 3 on the top and 2 on the bottom, with others still pending to come out. Kai eats the same food at the same table with everyone else in the family. Ok, not exactly the same - he can't eat hard things yet, but, we don't need to cook a special meal for him. He is very happy to sit as equally high as everyone else.

Kai is mad on plain boiled rice. For us Chinese, plain boiled rice is like plain (untoasted) toasts. You would think plain toasts are boring, right? I would think so too, but Kai doesn't. He can eat loads and loads of plain rice without getting tired. Kai's other favorites including steamed pumpkins, steamed eggs, soft carrots, Farley's rusks, however cooked tofu. Kai also like eating noodles, no matter what kind, how it has been cooked. Kai likes the feeling of sucking a long piece of noodle from the bowl into his mouth.

Mum, don't take photos. I look messy!

Eating Carrots
I bite, bite so hard, only got a little

How about the carrot end? Probably it's softer.

No, it's even harder.

Kai: Dad, can you give me something soft to eat, Please?
Kai got a piece of orange in his mouth.



Now we know what is going to happen to the piece of orange in his mouth...

the move

After days of searching for a new apartment and looking for jobs, I finally find some time to write new posts on Kai’s blog.

Yes, we are going to move, move to an apartment near a huge park – Tianhe Park. Then when we look out of the balcony, we can at least see a big area of greenery, not just an forest of high buildings with narrow streets snaking around them.

Moving will be a big change, not just the height of our home to the ground. We live on the 33rd floor. It doesn't mean that we "really" live on the 33rd floor, as the building where we live doesn't list any number which contains 4. So there are no 4th, 14th or 24th floor, because 4 sounds like death in Cantonese. But even so, it's still MUCH higher than the 4th floor we are going to move in. It's also a change from a superstitious building to a non-superstitious building, in the same district.

Moving would mean something to everyone. Jonathan will be able to lie in the bed 5 minutes longer in the morning, Kai will have a big park to play in, and Mum and Dad will have somewhere to do exercise. We are going to leave many nice memories behind, and create more happy memories in our new home.
