This weekend, we are going
to rest and relax and, hopefully, meet up with some friends. We are going to be
very busy next week so this weekend is very precious!
Babydoll is becoming a lot
more comfortable on her feet. I am slowly getting used to seeing her walking
about, although part of me still denies that she is walking - haha! I've been
denying it since she took her first tentative steps at 9 months old - I am
hanging on tight to every babylicious moment.
She is eating like a
champ. Her nanny's family has given her the nickname "Miss Mum Mum".
She insists on having a share of whatever other people are eating. She has even
eaten some of her nanny's fried rice so I guess that means I can start her on
rice proper!
Babydoll is babbling a lot
more and trying hard to communicate with other people so I will be introducing
some helpful vocabulary to her. Her "Mama" and "mum mum"
have become quite distinct now, plus she can say "Papa". She can even say "Nah!" when she hands you something, meaning, "Here you go!" She knows a
few more words like "Bye Bye" and clap hands in Mandarin. We are
talking to her in Cantonese as well - something that we didn't do with Ryan.
Oh, I want to pen a note
here that her nanny and her nanny's husband absolutely adore her! Her nanny's
husband is her personal taxi - when he comes home from work every evening, she
will stand up in her playpen and call out to him. He will pick her up and carry
her around and play with her for the rest of the evening until we arrive to
fetch her home. Everytime we arrive at her nanny's home, she is playing happily
with him, sometimes together with his grandson who is a few weeks older than
babydoll. Sometimes babydoll is playing with both her nanny and her husband, in
which case we will arrive to see this old couple sitting on the floor with
babydoll laughing in between them. Really heartwarming.
I've been trying out
different learning experiences with Rachel - some successful, some not so much.
I will try to compile and share.
Ok, that's all, have a
great weekend, everyone!
