Wormy at 16 month and 26 days

Let's see what the little missy has been up to recently:

1. Can "count" up to 4. Well sort of...its like :

Me : One?
missy : TWO!
me : Three?
missy : oh! (four)


SO CUTE! ok bias mom here..lol

2. A-B-C. A is for ? she will say AH PEL, B is for ? BAER and so on. normally until the letter F . F is for "og!" (frog)
3. can recognize her diaper brand..LOL!!! she will tell you its PETPET. if I ask her WHERE do you put petpet? she will reply THE BUTT BUTT. LOL! ok what kind of rubbish am I teaching her
4. ya she appends most words with THE . its like if she's looking for her ball...she will be walking around the house asking "THE ball?". For a while I was wondering why would she say THE  ball. then I realised its probably because I always ask her "where is THE ball?" "where is THE book?" and she thought it needs to come with THE
5. Can recognize most animals now : dog, duck, bear, horse, cow, cat, lion, owl, bird, frog, pig
6. Can point out most parts of her body and also say it out  : nose (nok), eye, ears, teeth, tongue, mouth, head, hair, feet, legs, arms, hands, tummy, shoulder, butt 😁

other updates since the previous 10 month update :P

1. she learned to walk unsupported on her actual birthday. 12 month exactly. she walked like around 2 steps. and within the weeks after that she gradually started to walk more steps and finally able to walk quite steadily by 13month :)
2. drinks 6 oz of milk and around 2 solids per day (porridge and oatmeal)
3. she now has 4 teeth on top, and 4 on bottom and another 4 coming out! sorry i dont know the proper name for those teeth...
4. eats a varied diet of fish,meat, veggies, grains (rice, oats, millet), pasta, biscuits, bread, cornflakes and occassionally food off my plate :x
5. when she sees a shower head she will make the "shhh shhh" sound and wave her hands in front of her face..lol! mimicking showering with the shower head
6. last night i was feeding her the white creamy soup at kim gary and she suddenly shouted "nen nen"!!! she thought the white soup was nen nen! omg
7. I used to count the steps (saying 1-2-3) when i am carrying her up or down the staircase, so now whenever we see staircases she will say "two!". LOL
8. she just learned how to nod her head recently. sometimes it is pretty helpful cos at least now we know what she wants. but in some situations it can be a bit hard to interpret what she actually wants. e.g. turns on her favourite app on iphone i.e. pink fong. "which song do you want to listen?" (nod nod head) "WHICH song baby?" (nod more profusely) :D
9. if you brandish her favourite book for her to see and you ask "do you want mama to read you a book?" (nod nod) "come sit on mama's lap" she will clamber over trying to sit on my lap although most of the time she will have one leg on my face or her head in between my legs.wahaha
10. still pretty clingy to us....and still cries when she gets sent to the nanny esp after a long holiday..wahahaa
11. yep still drinking mama's milk although i stopped pumping at work few weeks after she turned a year old. i dont mind direct latching (as much) but i do hate pumping...huhuhu. and i m happier after i stopped, no need to worry about dwindling supplies anymore. it sorts of gets to you after a while. not sure when am i going to stop bf-ing her...

for documentation purposes, some of her meal combination...

pumpkin porridge with shredded fish 

porridge with zucchini and pumpkin cooked in homemade chicken broth and topped with salmon. this was yums!

creamy pasta cooked with cheese and a bit of greek yoghurt

Wormy the 10 month old

Developments so far :

1) able to clap hands, gong Xi gong Xi and do the open and close hand action when you sing twinkle twinkle little star 

2) able to walk quite far with the aid of a box. Few times I caught her trying to stand without support but she still hasn't gained enough confidence to do so I think. 

3) can eat a lot of different types of food now. Even eating cny cookies =/ and now eating 2 solids a day

4) she has been super clingy recently especially since our cny trip back to Kuching where everyone was so excited to see her and tried to carry her. But she didn't let any one carry her at all

5) she now has 8 teeth in total! 4 on top and 4 on bottom! My poor boobies. Lol!

6) while we were in Kuching she was so fascinated by the little poodle at home. She tried to touch her and even let the poodle lick her hands! And when the poodle is far away she will wave for the puppy to come. And she even called out "dog". Which sounded a lot like "duck" but slightly different sounding. Lol 

Here she is totally in awe with the dogs antics: 

7) took her 3rd ever plane ride. still pretty well behaved but compared to the last plane ride when she was around 5 months old, it is becoming more challenging as she can move around. Even went and grab the utensils of the passenger sitting behind us from the gap in between the seats. She was doing pretty well during take off and landing. I tried to alternate between breastfeding her or giving her the pacifier which is totally foreign to her. She treats it like a teether. Lol 

8) now sleeping at pretty regular times at night although not sleeping thru the night yet T_T she sleeps normally between 9:30 to 10 and wakes up around 7 to 7:30. Wakes up once or twice at night. On a good day she only wakes up for feed at 7am. Takes 2 naps in the day
