*Baby Rio 1st Birthday*

29th Nov 2005, today is Rio's 1st Birthday. Wow... To think of it, time really flies past so quickly.. This day last year, he was just deliver into this world. He was overdue by a week in my tummy, comfortably refuse to come out.. I was left with no choice but to admit into KKH for an induce. BUT, he still refuse to cooperate and get his head stuck at my pelvic, at last by emergency caesarian, I heard his 1st cry..
Thoughout his 1st year, I did not take care of him full time .. It was only the 3-months maternity leave, I spent most of my time at home with Rio. Soon I was back in part-time evening classes and to work. Lucky my mother-in-law & maid help me look after Rio. Even in the nights, my mother-in-law sleeps with the baby, so that i have enough sleep for work and studies.. It was so hard for me if noone were to help me look after Rio..
But in his 1st year, we saw him learn new things everyday. Rio is a fast-learner. He was able to turn onto his tummy by 1st month, sit on the walker at 4-month. It was until his 8-month, I was amazed at his rate of learning.. He could sit steadily, learnt how to crawl, called some of us already. By 10-month, he was learning to walk and is very steady in no time. He could call "Ah Ma", "Ye Ye", "Pa Pa", "Mum Mum", "Jie Jie", "Yi Yi". By 11-month, He can even point out the person location when we ask him to. The fun part was he was imitate dog barking "Ohh Ohh" and "Meow Meow". He can say "Bird", Fish", "Ball", "Bear", "Apple", "Nan Nan". He even know how to dance!! He can now also recognize pictures of fish, bird, dog, cat, balloon, ball, apple etc..
Oh my precious, I really love him dearly.. Happy 1st Birthday Dear Rio. Mummy Loves You Infinitely!!
