To be exact, I am 16 months and 1 day old today!
And what am I up to recently?
- Started to walk backward
- Attempted to do a "somersault" with head down and bum up
- Self feed with spoon and fork (with some help to scoop the food onto the spoon)
- Can hold cup to drink with 1 hand
- Pull socks off easily
- Pick up flat objects such as coins and paperclips and drop into coinbanks/special-made boxes with slit
- Beginning to distinguish colours
- Enjoyed more table activity such as "reading" Littletouch book. Particularly amused by the sound the "purple fish" made.
New words :
- "Eat", "Sit" (sounds like "Shit"), "Wait", "Elmo", "Bao" (aka bread)
- "Bubble", "Wet", "No", "Moo Moo" (may mean cow or even milk), "Drop",
- "Up" (sounds like uppo)
My verbal language has expanded by a few more words, and I am beginning to display more assertiveness, hence more tantrums if my wishes are not met. I enjoy feeding myself with spoon and fork, and despite of the mess, I am being encouraged to do so. Another interesting observation is I start to sit on my potty willingly and make "ng-ng" noises.. so is it gonna be potty-training next for me?
No new tooth has been spotted, so its still 6 to date. And with 4 on top and 2 at the bottom, I enjoy holding spoons and objects using my teeth, a stunt that many should have outgrown by now.. (what to do, I only get my full 6 teeth recently!)
My weight and height has remained largely the same, well, I am still a "M" size pampers toddler!

MAAD @ Red Dot Museum
7 Mar 2009 (Sat)
Daddy has always wanted to visit the Red Dot Museum and since admission is free during MAAD, why not? For mummy, the main attraction is the bazaar and true enough, there are some interesting jewellery and items up for sale by our local designers!
Some of the design are rather innovative while some you may think its common, yet no one really gives it much thought! Mummy's favourite is on the right, an umbrella that folds up to resemble a rose! Pretty yet functional!!
How about this milk bottle that changes colour and faces (green smiley face --> red crying face) when the temperature gets too hot for little one to drink??
Interesting items for purchase! There is even a corner where all you have to do is to sit for 15 min, and you may choose to buy the best sketch that you like @ $8 - no obligation at all even if you decide not to buy. Daddy contemplates placing princess there for 15 min when she is asleep in her stroller.. kekeke
While mummy is busy browsing through those jewellery and stuffs, I can't help noticing that princess is "playing" with an elderly man, taking a pencil and scribbling on a piece of paper. This goes on for at least 5 min.. and I am sure I don't know him. According to daddy, this kind man has even offered to look after her for a short while, so daddy takes a short break resting at the next table while mummy continues to browse and shop..
Before nap and after nap (with snack) pictures..

Gogobambini playdate @ Dempsey and Little Neuro Tree 3rd trial - Chinese
Playdate for the lovely Nov todds @ Gogo this morning, thankfully mummy does not have to prepare my lunch, else we won't be able to reach by 10:30am! Nevertheless, we are slightly late for about 10min and we met Sharron and Ash right at the entrance. Ashton is so tall, just like his mummy and daddy!
Grace and Ashlyn are already there, and seem to be enjoying their breakfast. Sally and Mischa comes late and look at how Mischa unwilling to part with daddy.. but before long, she is warmed up and having fun.
Terror Zee Yann taking Mischa's hairclip aka mei-mei! Ashton, being the prime witness, decides he wants to stay out of the 2 women's "fight".. smart lad
Next, Zee Yann thinks those hair look so luscious, can I run my fingers through them like how I do to my Jiawen jie-jie and mummy? Mischa is lucky as she is seated too far from me, fret not.. Ashton's one is as good.. in fact so good that I think I wanna give him a hair wash! And Ashton is such a good sport, he does not object either!
Some alone moments.. imitating another older todd lying in the ball pit! How does it feel??
Lunch is @ nearby Jones the Grocer and the todds get their own colourful plates/bowls/utensils. Thank You auntie Sharron for the yummy macaroni + soup! I have 2 bowls of them. As I have my LNT class in the late afternoon, so mummy did not join in for the shopping cum tea session that follows.
Whilst waiting for daddy to pick us up, instead of having to chase me around, mummy prefers to let me "play" with the sugar satchets. (Don't worry, they are still edible.. hee) I seem to be able to sort them by categories, putting the beige ones behind me.. and later, I even begin to put only the red sugar satchets into the container! I am beginning to see beyond objects and their shapes to distinguish them by colour!
Not convinced, well, check this video out!!
Little Neuro Tree 3rd trial - Chinese
We are slightly late today, but we are still the second pair to have arrived! The sessions goes through rather smoothly with some short interruptions from me, as usual, cos mummy tried too hard to make me sit at my chair. And I keep running towards the door signalling out, cos I remember there is this little toy outside which I enjoy playing. And I am feeling a little bit tired cos I have a busy morning, so its a little harder to concentrate for 1 full hour.
Even the Chinese teacher says its normal for us to want to move about, so next time mummy has to sit with me at various corners of the classrooms! We shall see, now that I have been signed up for the remaining term of 3 more classes!

My 1st trip to Science Centre!
28 Feb 2009 (Sat)
We were at Science Centre since 11:30am, and we actually spent the entire day there, thanks to the late afternoon rain. And because of this untimely rain, I did not get a chance to get wet at the Waterworks. The kids there seem to have so much fun when we were there in the morning.
We even ran into auntie Janice and gor gor Cayden, and of course I was too busy playing on my own to play with him.
By dinnertime, I am getting tired and finally it's time to go home!

Little Neuro Tree Trial (2nd Session - Japanese)
We are 10min early so I get to roam around outside the classroom before I am made to sit for 1 hr. I have ample sleep and snacks to ensure I wont go hungry during the session.
What a pleasant surprise when the familar music of "Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree" comes on.. difference being its sang in Japanese! A good start, mummy thinks.. but its not before long when I start to fidget in my seat as usual. A few times, I signal out at the door and mummy has to come and grab me.. this little active princess!!
Overall, I have made some progress and I can follow 1 or 2 games more, and I get to sit out of the classroom only once cos I am simply too noisy with my screams! And I even shake hands with my younger fren, Jayden, who is seated next to me today (who is constantly being distracted by me.. hee).

Vivo Playground
23 Feb 2009 (Mon)
I've been to Vivo a few times but never have I'd a chance to roam @ the outdoor playground. I would have loved to run across the waterplay area, but repeatedly stopped by mummy and daddy as I do not have extra clothing to change into. Nevertheless, I still have a lot of fun trying out almost every other available games!
I enjoy spinning round and round..
Learning to wait for my turn.. and here I come!!
This poses to be the most challenging for me.. and daddy's so tired after chasing me around and ensuring my safety! Thanks daddy, you are the BEST!

A rather baby friendly place @ Marche, they even provide disposable bib but I dun like the "rough texture". Some doodling with crayons while waiting for my dinner..
In addition to my porridge, I get to sample some rosti (potato only) and dessert to complete my meal.

Peranakan Museum Visit
21 Feb 2009 (Sat)
We decide to pay Peranakan museum a visit since they are offering free admission fees over the wkend. =P With the recent Chinese drama "Little Nyonya" so popular, its no wonder the museum is quite packed that day. Or rather, cos admission is free!
Princess is not in her best of mood as she gets stopped by mummy and daddy as she attempts to ascend/descend the stairs. She is unstoppable and keeps on wanting to walk on her own to venture into those "no-no zones" - so much so that she throws a big tantrum and goes all on four to show her great displeasure. We fail to get any decent pictures cos no flashlight is allowed!

Perhaps its all the fights that, by noon time, our little princess has dozed off in mummy's arms.. and she has not even had lunch yet! So we let her continue her nap in the stroller, which has not been in use for some months already. And to our pleasant surprise, she's actually willing to sit on it while we do our shopping @ City Hall.
Since we do not have to rush home until dinnertime, we get to relax @ J Co over a cuppa & doughnuts..
And mummy has plans for next Sat already.. Science Centre!

Little Neuro Tree Trial (1st Session - English)
Mummy thinks its time for me to attend some playgroup/sessions on a more regular basis. Since this one is offering free trials, there is no harm in trying it out before we commit for the longer term right? At the same time, mummy also hopes my right brain gets some (or rather sufficient) stimulation before the window of opportunity closes out on me by age 3 - as claimed by the neuro experts.
It started off rather promising, with me sitting for about 15min (it's a feat for my active gal) - with a introductory song to relax, and followed by some games and flashcards. Being new to the environment, people and things introduced, I was not able to catch up with the fast pace, and many times mummy was the one who had to do most of my work. (cos I am still busy observing everyone and everything else!)
But things started to turn downhill, when I fidgetted in my seat so much that I climbed onto the table. And worse, I get really angry when my cards are being taken away from me as I am not done playing with them. The last straw came when mummy refused my request for food! So I resorted to crying (it was a loud and hard cry.. unusual for my gal) and was asked to sit out the room twice cos I was disrupting my other classmates. Sigh..
Tune in for more updates for my next trial lesson in Japanese the following week!
Ganbatte ne!

More Kite Flying
While daddy is busy flying the kite, I am enjoying my little picnic consisting of snack + drink. I simply love this new bottle, and dun wanna let go of it, don't I look like a walking advertisement?
(Top right pic) I can twist my body around like mummy too!
(First pic) The result of over-sucking.. look what we've got here.. a chipmunk?
Experts say outdoor play is good for me, especially overlooking the greens, be it trees or grass. With such a big plot of field nearby, there's no more excuse not to bring me out every wkend.
