Word of the day - Cat

Josie recognised Hello Kitty from her bib. Or at least when I ask her where's Hello Kitty, she points to her bib. Our usual Q&A during mealtime. Where the nose, ear, table, clock, fan, chair, head, toes, blah...

Today she somehow managed a sound near cat. Kat maybe? Still far from basic understanding by anyone. But a good start~ 

Photo while we had lunch after gym. She's having bread for lunch. This girl, she loves bread and biscuits... I really must work harder in expanding her food varieties. But she must be in an eating mood first. I'm soooo dejected in this topic T__T

First kiss

After so many months of teaching and demonstrating, the baby finally learnt to kiss on our cheeks. Not the kind that's the full lips smack muacks. But she didn't turn away when asked for a kiss, and lips on cheek with a "muaack" sound. 

The daddy got the first kiss without hesitation. Mine was after several persuasion resulting from her "No". 

Happy mammy finally got her kiss. 

New words

Josie learnt a new word yesterday: bubbles

The teachers were blowing bubbles for the swing play, and somehow, she picked it up. Cool. 

Then... These few days, she started perfecting her flying kiss with sound effect "ah makk". Heh. Finally. At 16 months. It took her so long to do the flying kiss. And now it's with a muacks. 

Then... Today she was looking up at the kitchen table top and saying "cake". There were the water jugs and Latte's biscuits. I didn't know what she was saying until teabreak time. She meant biscuits, "-cuits" without the "bi-".

It will be such a wonderful day with all these new words but I was totally drained out. Her cryings for nothing. Haven't start to eat, scream and cry. Calmed down and continued eating, eat halfway scream and cry again. Night feeds increased with midnight wakings that lasted 2 hours and yet waking up so early in the morning. Before every nap or sleep, screams and cries. Crying for milk yet rejecting to drink milk. 

Sigh. Can make up your mind? Mammy very tired and bad mood with your crankiness. Don't always cry and scream like kenna tortured please. Mammy is very sad when you do that especially with all the love I showered you with. I already forsee that I will have depression when you reach your rebellious teen stage, if I don't break down before that... 

Rolling in the sleep

She rolled off the bed again......... Hais. Ouch.

It's 3+ am.. She woke up searching for milk. And even though I was ready for her, she continued searching and rolling. The next moment I know it, *knok* and she was on the floor crying. Gosh.

I didn't want to turn on the lights to wake her up even more, so I didn't check if there's any injuries. But after I carried her, gave her a long tight hug, she calmed down and went back to sleep with some patting, she didn't even want comfort latching.

Heartache.

Immunization day

Josie is due for the MMR D2 vaccination today. We also opted for the Chicken Pox vaccination too. So she has two jabs in a day. 

The chicken pox vaccination has to be done in two parts. The second one will have to be at least 3 months later. And it cost $72 each, which can be paid by CDA or cash. 

My darling is my strong, brave dearie. Just a cry of complaint, as usual. You're the best! Love you my dear. 

Her measurements at 15 months 4 days 

Height 78.2 cm (50%)

Weight 10.4kg (75%)

She didn't gain weight for a while, which is a little worrying. Eat more Josie. 

Bao bao and hugs

Word of the day. Bao bao. 

She knows how to say "bao bao", which means carry 抱抱 in mandarin yesterday, but "perfected" it today. Lol. Sounded more obvious. 

The second event made me so touched and emotional. 

I was trying to make her sleep for the night. But she got whiney. So, I copied her and made crying sound while I rubbed my eyes. She got fascinated and stopped whining. Pried my hands away and looked at me with her big, round eyes. I continued to make crying sound, then.... She hugged me. 

Awwwwww.... So sweet. She hugged then looked at me, repeating thrice before I stopped "crying". Lol. 

Gosh. My little baby. She's so sweet.

Anyway, it's so difficult to take wefie with her nowadays. Keep moving and don't want to take with me. Lol. Maybe she don't like to be photobombed by me haha

Happy 15 Months Old

Another month has gone. Gosh. Baby you are growing up fast. Really. Mammy misses all your babyness. I just wish my brain can absorb and remember all my time with you. But you know mammy's forgetful tiny brain la... 

Cheeky, chatty, cheerful darling. Latest words: chou chou and mian bao. Only wants my hoodie pooh as sleeping or comfort companion. Knows to go to the room if she wants to milk or sleep/slack. Lately milk nonstop, like a newborn. Let mammy sleep a little longer at night please. 1-2hrly is quite tiring. We both are looking like pandas. 

Mammy, Daddy loves you. XOXO
