At 18 months, Amanda upped her level of cuteness by a notch.
After months of us struggling and dealing with her rather long unkempt fine hair, she finally let us tie her hair up!
And suddenly, every little things she do… is soooo soooo girlie to me!
I am so going to flood this post with lots of her new hairdo!
Here she is, eyes glued to the TV and then sings along with her “microphone”.
She loves stringing beads, and would say 珠珠 whenever she wants us to bring it down from the window stills for her.
And when she tried to get me to string beads with her, I pretended not know how to, and it got her pretty anxious, wanting to teach me how to but doesn’t quite know how to tell me.
She now plays with her smart Daddy, who is great in stringing them.
And this is how I got myself off-the-hook and not string beads many times everyday.
I am not sure if she worrier / control-freak like me, or she is just a busybody / 管家婆. Its a fine line.
Other than making sure everyone wears their home slipper (a rule she came up with when she was less than a year old), she makes sure everyone changes their shoes when going out.
One by one, she points to our shoes, and tells Me, her Daddy and the nanny, to change into them.
She would hold and remind me to bring my bag out, stuff her Daddy’s iPhone into his pocket, or points to our coat, all while I trying to get my boots on.
Mama, what are you waiting for?
Change into your Uggs. Chop-Chop!
She is so anxious and persistent, making sure we get our stuffs and get out of the house, that I sometimes break into sweat before leaving home.
She enjoys her mealtime.
And whenever, she hears us placing plates and dishes on the dining table, she would run over and tries to climb onto her high chair.
If she finds her Daddy sitting on the sofa and not joining us at the dining table, she would run and pull and “drag” her Daddy over.
Which is a good thing, coz I often have to call out to Dp many times before he comes over.
面…面… and (Opps!) my messy hair
She now prefers noodle over rice.
She also loves 小米粥 / soup. Cause she loves scooping watery food from her bowl and enjoys slurping it up from her soup spoon.
Still picky and at least she now has 2 more variety on her menu.
She recognizes and loves Broccoli. And still loves meat. She would point and say 菜菜 and 肉肉 when she wants them.
Toddlers really do eat when they are ready to accept more variety or when they are hungry.
She can now concentrate better at her early learning class, and I was beaming with pride when she was the only toddler, dancing and following every action that the co-coordinator makes.
Eyes, ears, mouth and nose… head, shoulders, knees and toes…knees and toes
She watches Teletubbies with her Teletubbies. And would pick and hug the same Teletubby that is appearing on TV.
Hee! I ask her a dozen times a day, If she loves Mama. She would nod her head.
I too made her say, 爱, each time.
Happy 18th Months, Lil’ Judebabe!
Daddy and Mummy Loves you!
Ever since, Amanda celebrated her first Birthday, I was looking forward to the day she turns 18 months, instead of the 4th of every month.
I am kinda losing track her new developments but I am sensing the differences in her behavior.
More toddler-like. More girlie.
I am also sensing that we are going to have sooo much more fun together.
