5 teeth and others

in the past months, alan has learnt to do the following:

• point at people and things with his index finger;
• ask you to pay attention to him or pick up things for him with his index finger and making the "ah, ah, er, er" sound;
• scream when he doesn't get what he wants, especially at his dad and parental grandma;
• pretend to poo - sometimes he tries so hard to make it look real that a drop of poo would be squeezed out;
• cover his face with a blanket to play hide and seek.

and right now he's growing his fifth teeth.

this afternoon, we're going to our 2nd early education class.  and we're getting a vaccination and our monthly health check, too.  alan didn't cry, didn't even blink his eyes during last vaccination, let's see if he can keep it up.

retail therapy

i was feeling quite depressed, as i whined in my last post, so i decided to get some retail therapy yesterday.

i haven't shopped for ... i can't even remember how long.  i don't particularly enjoy walking from shop to shop, i get tired easily, and i don't like spending my hard-earned money either.  all in all, i'm not the typical girl who likes shopping.

but i needed to feel good.  i needed to do something for myself.  so i bought: 2 pairs of shoes (and got the 3rd pair for free), 1 set of pyjamas, 1 pair of pants, 1 pair of denim shorts, and 1 knitted cardigan.

the above is my first pair of shoes from united nude, which is called "helix lo".

and this is a pair of "block pump mid" in the light pink.

i wanted to get a pair of the "eamz pump", but they were all a bit too high, and not as practical if i was to run after alan in them (yes, i had this mind when choosing shoes).

and i got this third pair for free.  the shoes were not cheap, but well, let me forget about the price tag for once, please!

this is the cropped cardigan.  there're a few different ways to wear the collar and the knitted belt.  oh, the sleeves are full-length, but i just folded it when i wore it this morning because it was quite warm outside.

the pyjamas, pants and shorts are still eagerly awaiting for their turn to get some photo shoots.
