\"Zaria<\/p>\n

What can this\u00c2\u00a011th month old do besides messing up the house<\/strike>?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Mobility & Dextirity\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\nShe moves around the house mainly by cruising, or crawling on her knee (I thought she would not be crawling on\u00c2\u00a0her knee like Zara, but I was wrong).
\nCan stand unsupported momentarily.
\nShe’s starting to enjoy walking about\u00c2\u00a0with her hands being held.
\nHer pincer grip is getting better, able to pick up small rice puffs<\/a> for eating.
\nShe likes to pick things up and place them in bottles, boxes, containers.
\nShe is able to climb down from the bed,\u00c2\u00a0buttocks and legs first! Even stairs, with some assistance.
\n\"Favourite<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Speech Development\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\nShe’s really doing well, and her vocabulary is expanding. She likes to talk and express herself, some words are still not comprehensible (to us), but we’re understanding her more. Here are some of the new words she can say.
\nZara : Zah-Wa<\/span>
\nJiejie : Teh-Teh<\/span>
\nDaddy : Pa-pa<\/span>
\nBanana : Ah-Nana<\/span>
\nBear : Beh-Beh<\/span>
\nPark : Pak-Pak<\/span>
\nBath : Ba-Ba<\/span>
\nDuck : Duck-Duck<\/span>
\nBack (put back, come back) : Back<\/span>
\nBiscuit : Kuht<\/span>
\nBird : Ber-Bert<\/span>
\nPat : Peh-Pek<\/span>
\nRusty (our cat) : Tih<\/span>
\nBook : Boo<\/span><\/p>\n

Every morning, when she wakes up, she’ll turn to check for Zara, she will point to Zara and shouts, “Zah-Wah! Zah-Wah!”<\/span> Sometimes she’ll crawl to Zara’s bed and pat\u00c2\u00a0Zara and shouts some more “Zah-Wah! Zah-Wah!” <\/span>(she normally talks in a shout like voice).<\/p>\n

When I ask her, “Where’s Daddy?”<\/span> If she could hear Daddy in the shower, she’ll shout, “Pa Pa! Pa Pa!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Me? When I ask her to call Mummy, she grins and keeps quiet. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Another example of her talking :
\nWhen it’s time to go to the park, she’ll shout excitedly, “Pak Pak!”<\/span>. When we leave the house, she’ll look up and point to the sky, and say, “Ber Bert!”<\/span>; flapping her hands at the same time. When we reach the park, she’ll point to the rocking duck and shout, “Duck-duck!”<\/span>, asking for a ride.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Other means of communication\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\nShe sign pain<\/em>, but in her own way by fanning her face with her fingers, and frowning (she can even do this on demand).
\n\"Zaria
\nShe expresses her happiness<\/em> by clapping.
\nShe compliments the chef (good food<\/em>)\u00c2\u00a0by cluthching\u00c2\u00a0 her fist with a little of her thumb sticking out.
\nShe demands more<\/em> of some\u00c2\u00a0thing, by tapping her pointer to her other palm.
\n\"Zaria
\nShe says YES<\/em> by moving her head forward and backwards.<\/p>\n

She’s also able to understand simple instructions like, “Give mummy the book, mummy read to you.”<\/span> “Danger Zaria, come back.”<\/span> “Cannot put in the mouth!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Food and Milk Intake\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\nShe loves eating. We give her 3 meals a day, and some light snack in between, such as rice puffs<\/a>, fruits, Baby Bites.
\nShe is still still fully on breastmilk, and I feed her\u00c2\u00a0on demand (she’ll come to me, and sign the milk sign<\/a>, or sometimes, she’ll point to the study and sign the milk sign to whoever is handling her).<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Sleeping\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\nUnlike Zara who only stopped taking 2 naps when she’s close to 2yrs old, Zaria is occasinally taking only 1 nap a day. \ud83d\ude41
\nShe sleeps at 9:30pm (if she only took 1 nap) or 11pm together with Zara (if she took 2 naps on that day).
\nShe wakes up at about 8am daily.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Emotions and character\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\nShe’s more clingy now, preferring me over most people. However, she only fusses a little before she allows another person to carry or handle her.<\/p>\n

She shows her displeasure by crying, at times a bit dramatic by crouching on the floor and crying. However, unlike Zara who can cry for hours, she can be easily pacified.<\/p>\n

She loves books, flipping them, pointing at the pictures, saying the names of familiar objects (“Ao”<\/span> for cat, “Ah-nana”<\/span> for banana etc). Sometimes even laughing when she sees a funny picture (e.g. a baby doing a funny face).<\/p>\n

She enjoys Zara’s program occasionally, especially when there are\u00c2\u00a0lots of singing involved, and can sit at the sofa watching together with Zara; clapping her hands, and moving to the music.<\/p>\n

She’s rather independant, we can normally leave her alone with some toys or books, and she can keep herself occupied.<\/p>\n
