I have to be discipline and do this every month, just to capture Zara’s development. She turned 14 on Saturday, I had been so busy, only have time to do this now.
Weight: ~ 7.9Kg (weighed 27/12) but I believe she’s about 8.5Kg now b’cos she feels very heavy.
Height: ~77cm
This month, she sprouted another tooth, so she has 4 upper teeth, and 4 lower teeth now.
Dexterity :
walking up stairs while holding up the rail, or the wall
likes bouncing on her feet, a bit like jumping, but not lifting herself off the ground yet
walks up and down stepsLanguage :
She has us amazed on this area, her understanding of the language is really good, and she’s picking up new words almost every day. She’s also started to join them to make them into phrases. Additional words she’d learnt this month :
Nah-yen (lion)
Nam (lamb)
moong (moon)
Spicy (after saying this, she’ll stick her tongue out panting)
Laugh (Giraffe)
Stairs (she sometimes confused this with UP, she’ll say ‘stairs’ when asking me to carry or asking me to lift her up to the bed)
Panda beh (Panda)
Pane (Plane)
Paink Paink (Pain, she says this while pointing her index finger to her chest)
Skeh Skeh (Scared, she says this while patting her chest)
Big
oh-nang (Orange)
gap (grape)
nai-nai (night night)
tir-tee (dirty)
soo (shoe)She says phrases like :
Tatak, wis (kakak, fish; meaning she wants kakak to give her fish)
Bye Bye Nah-yen/Papa
Go up stairs
Go park
Bird bird fai (fly)
More more biskuh (biscuit)/moonermang(banana)/wise (rice)She knows almost all the body parts : *eyes, ears, head, *nose, hair, neck, face, stomach, *pet-pet (private part), *breast (thanks to breast feeding), legs, hands, feet, pointer, belly button
(*she knows how to say the word too)
Feeding / Food :
Favourite is still fish.
Still mainly on breast milk, but on days when supply is low, she’s willing to take a bottle of formula even from me unlike previouslyEmotions :
Started calling me Ah Meen (Ah Mee slowly turned Ah Meen)
became even more clingy.
Giving me more kisses on the lips nowadays
Showing some toddler tantrum nowadays, by crying, kicking her legs, arching her body when she doesn’t get her way
Sociable, but when confronted by a stranger, can be a bit more quiet then her normal self
