She has started to "speak", in a foreign language ( I seriously think she is speaking korean) which we do not understand! She "talks" a lot especially during her bedtime, and when she is alone sitting on her car seat when I drive. Other than her foreign language, she does say some words which we understand, such as mama, papa, yipo, korkor, gugu, apple, ba (for "banana"), ball, book, car and bird. She especially like to "papapa" on anything, including to me! Only during "emergency" then she will call me "mama". Hubby said when she called me "papa", she actually wants me to "pao pao".
She is also getting naughty! Her favourite act now is 猪嘴, and her mouth can really act like a pig's mouth until her lips touch the tip of her nose! Haha.... And she likes to waive and flying kisses to anyone! This is really heart warming especially when she waive and flying kisses to strangers. It normally will gain the strangers' smile in return. I am happy that my little gal manages to warm people's heart to think that we are living in a world whereby people do not care much about each other or exchange conversation, even with neighbours, people sharing the same transport, sharing the same lift or same table in hawker centres. Strangers will now open up conversation with us, asking us about our gals, and playing with our little gal.
She also can sit quietly in her car seat throughout the journey when I drive. I always look at her image from the front mirror at how mature my gal is now compared to a few months ago. Every morning when waiting at the traffic lights, i will make use of the waiting time to read the book "Does a kangaroo have a mummy, too?" for her. She will follow me till the end and asked for the book after i finish. Now whenever i ask her "where is the kangaroo book?", she will find around her car seat for me.
Ah Xi also loves to look at her image from the mirror. Everytime after bathing her, I will carry her to the mirror and ask her where is her eyes, her nose, her mouth, her hands and her legs.
She also likes to walk by herself more, especially in shopping complex and restaurants. We are glad that nowadays she seems to be more relax at our houses - both sg and jb houses. In the past, she will cling to me tightly when we reach home, and wouldn't want to walk by herself at home. Now at least she likes to walk around the house by herself and play by herself.
Foodwise, we are more relax on her since she is more than 1 year old already. We let her try ice-cream, desserts, cakes, bitter gourd and other food which we eat, except for spicy food and seafood like prawns and crabs. Sometimes we do not have suitable food for her so we just give her plain rice. She takes it without any complain. :)
Ah Xi, it is such a joy and a blessing to have you. Despite the tiredness, mummy enjoys the private moments mummy has with you. The morning and evening rides, the bedtime and the bath time. I know you have heard it million times, but mummy still wants to say it yet again, "mummy loves you forever and ever..."
