And bird "bod". She knew this for a while, but I couldn't really catch her pronounciation. She kept quiet when I asked her to repeat. Lol.

And bird = "bod" lol #xmmjosie #16monthsold

Word of the day - Star and Milk

16 months 13days

Yesterday's morning, after her shower, I dressed her in this little Star romper and taught her the word "star". She caught on pretty quickly. Here's a instavid of her saying star. She pronounced it without the s.

Two days ago. #star #xmmjosie #16monthsold

That evening, during grocery shopping, the hubby taught her to say milk when we at the milk aisle. She followed with a "mok". Haha. Here's an instavid of her just now before going to sleep.

Say "milk". Yesterday's #16monthsold #xmmjosie

Great progress. "tar~ mok~"

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

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...
