Pics from Zhuhai and Macau







Enjoying my stay at the Hotel



The Ferrari is ok, but I prefer to play with my shoes.




Weekend trip to Zhuhai and Macau

It was about 3 hours flight from Beijing an early morning. I had a little sleep on the plane but most of the time I had a nice time with some other passengers and especially the air stewardesses so I spent most of the time with them.

In South China it was very hot and humid, I think above 35 degrees but I don't mind the heat so much, I'm ok with that.

In Zhuhai there was a beach and I my mother let me feel the seewater, but I didn't like here so much because it was too much people. The nicest part of the beachtrip was when we were sitting in the shade under some trees drinking coconut milk or rather it's almost just like water. Although the coconuts were lying there outside, the drink was a bit cool, but not cold.

The hotel was nice and a big room where I could play around. On the 6th floor was an outdoor swimmingpool and my dad took me there; it was better than the beach and we was completely alone.

One day we went to Macau. Although it now belongs to China it's a border there with passportcontrol. Oh, boy so much people there queeing for getting in and I was quite fed up waiting.

In Macau were so many casino's but unfortunately I was not even allowed to get in to the rooms where the playing is going on...I could only look inside. I'm not so afraid of people getting close to me anymore, in fact I'm starting to like it and I know how to attract them and to get their attention. In one of the hotel/casino the Chelsea football club was there same time as me and a lot of people gathered to see them. In spite of that some people at least 4 or 5 wanted to be taken picture of together with me. It was strange but I posed and smiled over and over again. It has happened quite a few times recently so I'm considering not doing this for free anymore.

In Macau they bought me a red radio controlled Ferrari and later at the airport my mother bought a Helicopter. I'm far too little yet to use these things, in fact I was really scared especially for that thing flying around like crazy in our living room. I suspect they didn't buy it for me but for themselves...especially my mother she has been playing with these things all the time since we came back home.

9 Months and Summer in Beijing

I just turned 9 months last week and a lot has happened recently. Firstly I have got 4 teeth already; 2 up and 2 down and mostly without any problems but of course I like to bite everything and I also like to brush my teeth.

I am crawling very fast around the floor and especially to places my parents don't like me to go. I'm very interested to go to the bathroom and to the kitchen but I'm not allowed, there are so many interesting things I want to check out like cupboards and drawers. Also of course I like to go to the TV, DVD player etc because I just love all sorts of cables and lines.
I have some nice toys but in fact I like more to play with all kind of other things like empty boxes, bottles, shoes etc.

I can walk along the coffee table and the sofa and rise up everywhere I have something to hold on to and can even stand alone on my own some seconds.
I can climb the stairs up to second floor but I like to have somebody behind me in case so after every step I check if there is somebody there before i continue.

I'm out a lot every day both in my mother's car or in the pram and I like to go out, so many things to see. Sometimes or almost always people are bothering me though, they gather around me looking and talking and want to carry me, but I'm not always so happy abou that. Anyway it's nice people think I'm cute and I'm sort of starting getting used to it. Now I know how it is to popular and famous!

In China people go much more out for eating so I'm very often to restaurants with my parents and other friends but I don't think I'm much trouble; at least I don't cry although sometimes I'm noisy but that doesn't matter much here because everybody is noisy.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell the most important thing; the day I was 9 months old I said mama and papa for the first time. I think it was about time because my mother have told me this word over and over again for many months and I think I understand the meaning of it as well.
