A lot has happened this past week for little Eric. Here are the highlights in no particular order:

• Eric has his first air travel! He managed himself quite well and was able to sleep through the whole time to and fro the 2.5 hour Kota Kinabalu – Kuala Lumpur journey.
• He had his first swim in a pool! It wasn’t a nice experience, as the water was cold. I only managed to dip him three times in the water before ending our 5-minute session in the Pan Pacific KL’s hotel swimpool. We both ended up in the hotel’s bath tub instead. It was much more fun.
• Eric met his Granma Jenny for the first time!
• Eric took his first railway trip! It was a first for the whole lot of us who went to KL — myself, Eric, my mom, Dony and my brother Andy. It was such a convenience.
• Obviously, Eric has his first trip to Malaysia’s capital city, Kuala Lumpur. How lucky for him — I only managed to go to KL when I was 14, and Eric’s barely one year old.

Eric has made some interested expressions during the trip as well. He lifts his hand in a fist and makes a face that looks as if he’s aggravated, and then suddenly burst out into a wide grin. It’s so cute.

I changed Eric’s milk formula to Nestle’s NAN last week, but he doesn’t seem to like it. When we gave him the formula, he took a few sips, then removed his bottle, made a little “bwack” sound, and took a slow look at it, as if trying to figure out what’s wrong with his formula. He returned to drinking it again after a few moments. Maybe I should stick to Nestle’s Lactogen 2 until he’s around 1-1/2 year old.
