- Enjoys flipping the photo album and will shout out the names whilst pointing at the correct photos such as baby, 哥哥, papa, mama, uncle (gynae)..

- More affectionate; will hug mummy from the back and/or kiss when requested
- Likes to befriend kids of her age, particularly enjoys playing ball with the boys at the playground.
Character-building
- I prefer to bathe standing up, and its becoming a struggle to get me to shower recently.
- Greater sense of humour; laugh at scenes from the VCD/DVD or even at mummy when she clumsily drops a toy/food.
- More tantrums throwing (or rather increasing sense of independence and assertiveness) but still within manageable control. Ultimatum statement from Mummy: "Mummy is going to be very angry..."
Even though my vocabulary is still limited, but I am able to associate the names correctly most of the time. I will call out baby, 哥哥, 妹妹 and uncle if I spot them. Could it be that 姐姐 and auntie are just harder to pronounce?
New words:
- later, dirty, paper, yes, where,
- bye bye, uncle, auntie, cold, hot,
- fish, hmm, empty, minnie, bag,
- bear, go
- 妹妹，哥哥 or gor gor， 姐姐, 婆婆， 按摩, 没有, 喂
Favourite word of the month: 不要 (and most of the time I mean it!)
