Happy 1st Birthday, Joash!

1030

Joash went for his one-year-old's pediatrician's visit for inoculation. He's now 8.9kg and 76cm tall, still at the 50 percentile. He is truly the average of the average in his physical growth!

We then went over to my in-laws' place to hang out till dinner time. I put on him the angel's wings and he tried grabbing it, ending up going around in circles. It was hilarious! *grin* I actually got a video of it but I'm kinda too tired now to post it up here.

Our little angel boy...

We went to the Omni theater's Sakura for his birthday celebration. He tasted a few food items there for the first time: Cha soba, pasta and egg sushi. Hmmmm... He took quite well to them. We simply bought a small birthday cake for Joash. However, it only looked pretty but tasted "blah". He was very intrigued by the candle's flame though. Despite our best efforts to teach him, he didn't know how to blow it out so I had to do it for him after we sang the birthday song. And nope, he couldn't have told us his birthday wish. But he babbled a lot and tried countless times to climb out of his highchair. Maybe he was trying to say, "I wanna explore the whole world!" My only prayer for him is to grow up to know and love God :) Other than that... yes, you can go anywhere on earth in the future if you want to, my dear Joash! *kisses*

New food for Joash

Joash: Wah! So pretty!!!

Joash: Hey! Where has the flickering light gone to?

Joash: My first birthday cake. Yum yum!

We're all in this together

One more thing... Today is the first day Joash did not drink any formula at all. Ta-da! I've completely replaced it with full cream milk. I had been gradually introducing to him cow's milk over the past week and he had no adverse reaction to it. No need to pack milk powder out anymore... Also, he had been drinking water (with two drops of Delrosa) from his Pigeon Mag Mag straw cup throughout the day for the first time! It took quite a while to wean him off spitting the water out immediately after sucking it up from the straw. Praise God that today's endeavor had been a success! :)
