Chace is

walking.... the ability to pull and stand and being able to walk is totally not related in the case of my children. Claire pulled herself up when she was just 7 months but only took her first unassisted steps when she was 13 month. Chace, on the other hand, pulled himself up to stand probably when he was 8 or 9 months old but took his first unassisted steps just before he turned one. Guess its obvious who has more 'balls'?

I don't even have a clear photo of Chace's 1st attempt, not to mention a video. Here's a lousy photo that I manage to take on the day he decided to show us that he is now a toddler...

Just for the record, before he turned one, Chace:

1) has 8 teeth

2) stopped crying/screaming during bath time (on his lunar birthday)

3) started taking his first few unassisted steps

4) is a really 'old-hand' when it comes to food - no problem chewing and drinking from straws!

5) weighs 10kg (as a comparision, his scrawny sister is 11.5kg at 3 years 4 mths)
6) babbles non-stop; he carrys on a conversation with himself all the time, anytime!
7) fav word is 'jiejie' - and probably his fav. person too; he wakes up in the morning searching for jiejie
