13 months old - baby teacher

1 year old onwards, she seems to grow very fast and more mature each day. She's able to communicate what she wants and what she wants us to do.

 

Every night, when she's ready to go to bed, she'd wave bye bye to everyone as told and she'd let me carry her up to our room without making any noise. She understands what is bedtime. Everytime I tell her "bedtime" and pass her a cloth, she'd hug the cloth and lean her head on my shoulder. So sweet and so cute...I'll tell her, ok, it's bed time, (pass her the cloth), zhi ying bao bao, tang tang (she'd hug hug the cloth & lean her head on it & on my shoulder).

 

Yesterday, something very funny happened. Mom, baby & I went for dinner. We brought along one of her book. Mom asked her in mandarin where is monkey. She pointed  the wrong one. Mom said, "chuo liow" i.e. wrong. So, bb waved her hand to express that she got the wrong one. Then she pointed again and this time she got it right. Later when we got home, I pointed to her the monkey and said it in english. She then waved her hand and make the "hmmph" sound like telling me that's  wrong. Hahahaha! Then she brought the book to mom and went "ah ah ah" i.e read to her. Mom asked her in mandarin and bb pointed correctly all the animals in the book. SO FUNNY!!!

 

Nowadays, i give her a hot bath before going to bed at night. So, last night, she dragged the pail out and pointed inside of the pail i.e. she wants to go inside the pail. Hahaha! So I put her in there while I get the hot water ready. Everytime after a hot bath, she'd feel very sleepy.

 

Every morning & evening, whoever goes out and comes back, would need to give her a hug. Otherwise, she'd demand for it until she gets it and it's really difficult to resist her. Hehehe.

 

Everytime we ask if she's a good girl, she'd pat pat on her chest. Meaning she's a good girl. When we ask her where's her nose, she'd do the breathing sound. When we ask where is her hand, she'd lift her leg up. She always get that wrong. So funny! When we ask where's her leg, she'd lift her left leg up. Hahaha! If her right leg is up, she'd put it down first then later lift her left leg up.

 

She knows how to "sayang" and "bao bao" ppl and she makes me melt everytime she does that to me.
