<\/p>\n
Zaria turned 16 month last week. I captured some of the moments which happened during her 15th month.<\/p>\n
She said her first 4 syllabus word = Nani nani<\/span> (frangipani). She can recognise the flower, and she’ll point to it and say “Nani nani”<\/span><\/p>\n Although she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s saying words in abbreviation, i.e. Nana<\/span> for Banana, Raff<\/span> for Giraffe, Bra<\/span> for Zebra, Pard<\/span> for Leopard. She is beginning to say some of the words in full rather than the short cut version. i.e. Papaya<\/span> as papaya and not Papa<\/span> any more.<\/p>\n She starts talking in phrases, e.g.“Take doll doll.” “Give cock-con (pop corn).”<\/span><\/p>\n She discovered sugar sachet. Once sucking on it, the pack ripped off and she tasted sugar. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Weet, weet. (sweet sweet)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span>, and she tried sucking harder to get to the sugar.<\/p>\n She is singing and the tune and words are more \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcaudible\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. She starts being able to identify a person is masculine of feminine, old or young. Pointing to small girls \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jiejie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span>, small boys, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153korkor\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span>, adult female \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ah-tie (Auntie)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span>, adult male \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ah-Ker (Uncle)”<\/span>, elderly lady \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Poh Poh\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span>.<\/p>\n She knows how to say some of our names. She can recognise and knows how to address all the family members. She started saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span>. Her vocabulary is pretty extensive, knowing most of the animals, objects at home, differentiating rice, bread, noodle. etc.<\/p>\n She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcmanja\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s becoming very clingy now, preferring me over most people, sometimes even daddy. But still, she’s more of a daddy’s girl than Zara.<\/p>\n
