Development/Likes
Self-feeding and sometimes she may wanna feed us in return.
Able to wear slippers without it slipping off from her feets
She understands what we are saying to her eg.
-asking her to go have a drink of water from the sippy cup
- asking her to bring something over
Run over to answer the phone whenever it rings
Likes waving at people even strangers & giving out her 'million dollor smile'
Enjoys playing with other kids eg. at the McDs play area where there are plenty of other kids around, some very much older than her
Speaking of the above, she loves the McDs play area.
She loves wearing mommy's shoes be it heels or flats or slip-ons. She will parade around the hse with the shoes. Whenever we pass by any shoe shops in the mall, she will point to the shoes and say mommy mommy....yes darling, how mommy wish its all mine..:)
Dextrity
Climbing the stairs at a faster pace while holding on the railings
Climbing up and down our bed. Now we are not afraid of her falling off from the bed.
Food
She is still taking 5oz 3 times a day of milk and also 2 small bowls of porridge in a day. In between, she may snack on biscuits/buns and/or yakult drink. She may look like eating a lot but her weight gaining is very minimal probably because she is a very active child.
Lil E loves junk food (eg. french fries & carbonated drinks) but still eats during her milk and drink her milk.
She doesn't really like meat. We have to give her in smaller pieces.
Loves to eat rice (white or fried rice)
She loves soup especially mix it with her rice.
Emotions
She loves going out and practically every evening, she will pull us to the cupboard and signalled us to change our clothes so we could bring her out for kai-kai. Sometimes we will follow her 'instructions' but other times we just have to be firm and said no. She may be very unhappy but after a while and with much coaxing, she's okay
