\nShe crawls really fast nowadays.
\nShe enjoys walking in the court yard (with pebble washed flouring) with her hands held but she won’t walk and prefers to crawl at other places.
\nShe now knows how to get up and down furniture very well.
\nAble to crawl up and down the stairs on her own.<\/p>\n\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Speech Development\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>

Able to listen and follow instructions, e.g. “Bring the book, and mummy read to you.”<\/span> “Let mummy smell your finger.”<\/span> Points to object or people when we ask her where the person or object is.<\/p>\nAble to do action on demand, e.g. “How Mei-mei brush your teeth?”<\/span> She puts her finger in her mouth and moves it about.<\/p>\n\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Food and Milk Intake\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\n3 solid meals a day, and I started introducing her whole eggs and fish this month (realised these animal products actually make her wet diaper super stinky!). Sometimes when we have chicken soup at home, I’ll let her have some as well.
\nShe likes noodle, and not so keen on porridge.
\nShe still loves to eat, but the amount she takes has reduced. She takes about 2\/3 of a bowl (rice bowl) or less of whatever that’s served.
\nTasted a bit of ice cream this month, but she didn’t like it and immediately said “Pao Pao”<\/span>.
\nAte her birthday cake (home made) and she liked it.
\nStill fully on breastmilk.<\/p>\n\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Sleeping\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\nTaking very short naps these days. Once at noon, and another (by force) at 5pm. Total nap time doesn’t exceed 2hrs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u2122\u00a5Emotions and character\u00e2\u2122\u00a5<\/strong><\/span>
\nVery strong will. If she wanted something and didn’t get it, she’ll fake a cry and go on all fours. Or she’ll keep requesting until she gets her way, e.g. She’ll keep saying “”Pis”<\/span> (Please) if she wanted something and we didn’t give in to her, and each “”Pis”<\/span> will be spoken with more anger until we give in or she’s distracted by something else.
\nVery loving, always kisses me, and hugs me.
\nFrowns a lot, especially when she doesn’t like something, and doesn’t agree to something.<\/p>\n(More celebration photos coming up soon).<\/p>\n
