Baby's development at 15.5 mths

Sometimes, when she woke up at 6:30 am, she'd sit up and start scaring both of us with her latest "scaring ppl" trick whereby she puts both her hands up and show her 6 teeth and hold her breath for few seconds until her face is red. Nobody teach her that. But she never fail to make me laugh everytime she does that. She knows "da gu" always laughs at her when she does it. So, everytime she sees "da gu", she'll do that. Nowadays, we have maid. She always scared the maid. Last time, she'd do the monster roar.

 

Last 2 days, she woke up around 6:30 as well. It was still dark. She sat on the bed and waved her index finger & said "zai si" (hokkien). I think she meant she has done something wrong cos she pee in her Huggies. Mom said she only told her once or twice last time. But sometimes, she'll suddenly remember things that she leant before and say it out. Made KP & I laughed at 6:30 in the morning with our eyes half open.

 

She only climbs the grill when the auto-gate controller & the keys are on the key hole. Hehe. So, we always make sure we keep the keys after we lock the door or open the door.

 

She will put both her hands under her both cheeks to show that somethign is cute...for eg, the bear, baby, or any cute pictures/ toys she thinks is cute. Then she'll kiss the picture or the soft toy many many times with the "muax muax" sound.

 

She can call her own name "zhing". Hahaha!! When she sees her photo in the laptop, she'll point using her index finger her chest and says "zhing".

 

There was one time, i was at work. Ah Yi Hwa showed her my video carrying other baby. She was so upset she called ma ma..and ask me (in the laptop) to hug her (bao bao). I saw her act in the video taken by Hwa at that time. Poor baby.She was so sad cos she miss mommy so much.

 

Everytime she did as told, she'd clap her hands to say that she's very clever. Hahaha!!!

 

She loves to laze on granny's bed. Then she'd hold both her legs to clap clap & say "pai pai". Then she'd laugh.

 

Lately, she could say some words. Eg: Shi (yes), No, yai yai (come come),  zho zho (walk walk), kakak, yau yau, while nodding (want), throw (she'll throw everything and make a mess on the floor). I'd ask her to put them back & do it with her.

 

When she sees toothbrush, she'll put her finger in her mouth to pretend brushing her teeth.

 

Whenever we're out in the restaurant, if she sees the vegetable, she'd point at it and demand we give it to her. Then she'd eat quietly there, enjoying herself.

 

Nowadays, her buttock is getting abit more chubbier. So sitting on the potty to poo is abit difficult. So, sometimes i let her squat on the toilet bowl cos her buttock is too small to sit on the toilet seat.

Baby's 15.5 mths - scary story by mommy

I think I scared her with one story.

 

Mommy: Come, lie down, mommy tell you a story.

Zhi Ying: (lied down to listen to story)

Mommy: One day, a mouse went for a walk in the forest and accidentally went into the tigers cave. The tiger saw the mouse and roared. "I'll eat you". The mouse was so frightened and said "Please let me go". The tiger then asked "have u been good lately?". The mouse said yes. Then the tiger said " OK, then u can go home". The mouse said thank you and quickly ran home.He told mommy what happened. "Mommy Mommy (The mouse was too scared that it called mommy in a very frightened tone) ...the tiger wanted to eat me just now.

 

Before i could continue further, Zhi Ying suddenly hugged me and wanted to cry and called "mommy mommy"  in a frightened tone. I think I made it too scary the last part.

 

Since then, I never tell her about the mouse & the tiger. Everytime I start telling, she calls me "mommy mommy" in a frightened tone and want me to hug her.

Hahahaha!!!Poor baby. So, i'll quickly change to another story.

 

So, nowadays, I tell her the bird & the rabbit or other animal story. If it's a story about the bird, she'd do the "chut chut" sound while rubbing her thumb & index finger  high up in the air to call for the bird. Hahahaha!!

 

The stories makes her calm. Half way of the story, she'd pull my collar and ask for milk. Hahaha!! Sometimes, she'd fall asleep while drinking her milk.

Maid - picked her on 6th Feb morning

She's been with us for 5 days already. So far, so good. She really likes children and smiles easily. She likes to read english books. I told her, if i have time at night, i'll teach her some sentences. I gave her ZHi Ying's ladybird series - Peter & Jane 1a for a start. She wrote on pieces of papers that i gave her the first day she came some simple english sentences. Those papers are the instructions on how to take care of baby, daily routine & cooking.

 

Every Friday we have a Philipine maid, Irene to come over to clean our house. My new maid, Yani learnt from her the house chores. Irene even wrote on Yani's notes the daily chores she needs to do everyday. She even showed Yani how to clean everything as she has never worked in M'sia before. I really appreciate what Irene has done for Yani. At least Yani has a brief idea what & how to do.

 

She sleeps with the lights on. I think she's afraid of the dark and the new surroundings. Well, I don't mind as long as she's nice. She always smiles and I like that alot.
