Happy 16 Months

Our Lil E is 16 months today. Here are her updates on her developments :

Weight : 10.4kg
Teeth : Total 11 (2 upper & 1 bottom molars sprouting in addition to her 4 upper & 4 lower incisors)

Emotions
~ Lil E is extremely shy when she sees strangers looking or talking to her. She would hold up her hand and wave goodbye to them instead.

~ Up till now, she only allows 5 persons to get near or carry her ie. myself, hubby, her paternal grandma, paternal great grandma and maternal grandpa.....that's it and no one else.

~ Lil E can express herself better. If she doesn't want something, she'll shake her head & whine. When she agrees or wants something, she'd just smile/laugh out loud to us.

~ When out in the public, she prefers to walk on her own without us holding her hands. But when she want us to follow her, she'd hold our hands and pull us along.

~ Likes to open the fridge and rummage thro the stuffs in there. She would not have the strength yet to open the fridge door so she'll hold our hands and pull us to the fridge and signal us to open the door.

~ I dunno why but she is really afraid of clowns when she sees one. She would hold onto me so tightly with her arms around my neck and her head rest on my shoulder.

Likes
~ She likes to climb up & down the sofa.

~ She likes to play with the light switches (she'd request us to carry her so she could reach it).

~ Loves music and will dance to the tune.

~ She is very pally with our pet dog (Tomba). Likes to go near him and pat on his head or nose. Would sometimes offer him biscuits.

~ Loves going out, be it in our garden or at the malls. She will take her shoes for us to wear it for her. Then she'll go to the front door and point indicating she wanna go have a walk in the garden

~ She just loves climbing up & down the stairs.

~ Whenever we drive our car in to the porch, she would peered thro the front window and reach out her hands to greet us.

Bag of Tricks
~ On days when she is tricky, she would hide her pacifier under our pillow on purpose before turning back to us and shrugged her shoulders with both her hand lifted up signalling "it's lost" or "i can't find it".

~ When any one of us at home coughed or sneezed, she would follow suit by mimicking the sound eg. forced herself to cough out loud as if trying to clear her throat.

Food/Feeding
~ She has 2 solid meals and 3 x 5oz of milk daily.

~ Solid meals or snacks consist of chicken/pork/fish porridge, macaroni cooked in ikan bilis stock with veges, yoghurt, bread, biscuits/crackers, papaya, apple, banana.

~ She loves eating rice. She'll usually sit down with us during dinner time and we would give her some rice with some of the dishes we're having like fish, potatoes, eggs, braised chicken or pork and veges (which we cut into small pieces using the scissors just for her food).

~ Oh yeah.......she LOVES to drink soup, prepared in the asian cooking ways eg. ABC soup, Lotus roots soup, 'Kau-Kei' with eggs & fishballs soup etc.....

Hey, What's Cooking

I guess it's every mommy's headache when they have mealtime wars with their toddlers and I'm not exempted unfortunately! U see, for the past weeks, there is a decline in appetite in Lil E. She would refuse the food that we've (painstakingly) prepared for her, even her all-time favourites MILK, she would sometimes reject. This really caused a concern to all of us at home. We later found out the reason behind this could be due to her teething blues. We spotted her 2 upper molars coming up which make her uncomfortable and a loss in appetite.

But thank God, our girl resumes her appetite this week and she is eating well since then. We were so relieved to see Lil E accepts whatever food offered to her. So today, I decided to cook something different for Lil E apart from her usual chicken/fish porridge or the soupy macaroni.


As seen here in the picture, the menu for today is braised chicken thigh (cut into cubes) with carrots & potatoes. The verdict......Lil E loveeeess it!!.....Keep this up my girl..:)
