I Can Stand Up!! 我會站立了!!

My pediatrician in the U.S. has told to my mommy that I am a textbook baby. It means every step of my growing is like what the textbook says. Therefore, I know I am 9-and-half-months old baby now, and I think it's the time for me to stand up today. I can't really stand without any aid now, because I have to lean against the couch every time. But Daddy and Mommy think it is a very good development of mine. 請看影片中的我，從上次的長途爬行，到現在的站立，是不是又已經長大許多了呢。希望未來我的成長，還是都一步步按著教科書所寫的，平平安安，順順利利。

Maokong Gondola 貓空纜車

為了避開人潮，今天Daddy特地請了休假帶我去坐貓空纜車，雖然是上班日，但是還是有許多從全國各地來的鄉親父老，所以我跟Daddy、Mommy也等了約20分鐘左右才搭上纜車。這是我第一次坐纜車，從上車後就一直很興奮地看著窗外的山景，很難得地在台北市也有如此美麗的景色。

The length of the Maokong Gondola is about 4 km, traveling between Taipei Zoo and Maokong. It takes about 20 minutes for one-way journey. The fare of the ticket is very cheap. It costs only NT$50(US$1.60) for one way. The gondola system is constructed by a French company which build the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car(昂坪纜車) in Hong Kong. According to the constructor, the process of construction of the Maokong Gondola is more difficult than the Ngong Ping 360. There are four stations: Taipei Zoo Station, Taipei Zoo South Station, Zhinan Temple Station, and Maokong Station. On the way of the journey, I have seen the breath-taking bird view of whole Taipei City. I also have an awesome experience of the trip between the Zhinan Temple Station, and Maokong Station. When the gondola leaves the Zhinan Temple Station, it goes straight down to the hall then climbing up to the Maokong Station. It has the best view of whole trip. Mommy told me that if I have a boy-friend someday, I can take him back to this place for it's romantic while the couple sitting together in the cable car. But I think it's too far from now.

The First Vehicle in My Life

From BMW

Grandparents ordered a brand new BMW for me last week and it's been broght to me today. It's my first time driving a car but I can't drive very well. Daddy said I have to take the driving course everyday. Of course, the tutor will be my daddy. He likes all kinds of vehiclke and has very good skill of driving. Someday I think that I will be a good driver and you may see a baby driving a "BMW" in the park. 不要小看這台不加油的BMW哦，這可是真正BMW德國廠製造的。而3 series、X3及X5，都還不是德國廠製造的了。

長途爬行

我已經很會爬了哦，可以從客廳一直爬到我的房間。

爸爸不在家

今天豆豆睡得好好喔！可能原因有：
1. 不強迫她吃食物泥，一出現不耐煩或抗拒徵兆，如垂頭喪氣，用力握拳，狂丟玩具，不願開口，尖叫等等，立即停止餵食，還要說：好棒喔！吃完了！並馬上抱離餐椅。
2. 晚上飯後睡前玩些激烈一點的遊戲，例如今天就是拿照相機引誘她從客廳爬到房間，放到床上還玩了一會兒躲貓貓，讓她保持愉快的心情就寢。
3. 午睡時間足夠
4. 爸爸媽媽抱著的時間夠長，或，當她需要媽媽的時候，我都有適時的回應並給予擁抱。

First Time to the Zoo

今天發生了好多第一次喔！第一次坐捷運，第一次到動物園，第一次和外公外婆同遊，途中還遇到二舅公全家，是第一次碰面！我還伸手向小姊姊要她手上的薯條mamm mamm（我要吃東西時都會發這音），把媽媽和外婆逗得好樂，我也是第一次吃薯條，只是吃得太大口，嘔了一下。哈！我是不是很可愛呢？
