What a Feast!
Mummy created this blog to share snippets of my growing up. Time whizzes by so quickly and so much is happening every day that these precious memories would soon fade away if they're not put down in words.
Favian was quiet and so well-behaved throughout the trip. I really like Vernice Jie Jie so much that I had to hold her hand wherever we went. Mummy expected me to take a nap right after lunch but I was enjoying myself so much that I only dozed off at 4 pm in the tram, when we were making our way out of the zoo. Favian was even stronger - he was still winning the battle to keep awake when we parted, even though anyone could tell that he was already exhausted!
Haven't been updating my blog for a loooong time. Thought I'll give an inventory of new skills and vocabulary I've acquired over the past few months. Here goes:
Words I can say meaningfully:
Parts of the body I can point to:
* Eyes
* Ears
* Nose
* Mouth
* Hair
* Toes
* Knees
* Belly Button
* Neck
Given a picture of a mixture of things, I can point out:
* Ball
* Cat
* Dog
* Doll
* Teddy Bear
* Crying Boy (and imitate the crying sound and action)
* Bird
I can gesture:
* Cute Cute (by putting my index fingers on my cheeks and tilting my head to one side)
* Mei Mei (by gently stroking my cheeks)
* Shang Nao Jing (Headache)
* Chou Chou - smelly (by pinching my nose)
* Bye
* Hi (same gesture as Bye)
* Shake hands
* Wash hands
* Shui jiao - sleep (by putting my head on a cushion or pillow and pretending to sleep)
* Cry (by rubbing my eyes and pretending to cry aloud)
* Xiu xiu - shame shame (I love doing that when I see half-naked men)
Recently, I've also learnt to play with people other than my caregivers. Mummy says I'm becoming more sociable and having less stranger and separation anxiety. The biggest breakthrough is that now, I'm able to stay in the Cradle Roll without Mummy or Daddy's company during Sunday service, which is a GREAT relief to them both as it means that they can attend service in peace at the same time.
