Bolster fancy

She likes to hug her bolster to sleep nowadays. Rolling on her left and hugging the bolster such that it touches her right cheek and her ear. Cute!

玄玄learns to fish

Bought a magnetic fishing toy for 玄子. And she already lost 1 one the fish in the first hour. Sigh! Ok, that aside, she actually did manage to hook out a fish or two now and then. Not too bad for a maiden fishing session. But a $2 toy does have downside, instead of battery operated, I have to turn a knob like how a musical box is operated for it to turn ... and my fingers began to hurt after a while. Awww!

玄玄buckles herself

After a 3-4 days of exploring, today the little girl finally mastered the skill of buckling herself up in her high chair. She's so into it that she keeps buckling up and telling me to unbuckle her just so that she can buckle up again. Good job, kid!

牙牙学语

小玄子is definitely trying to communicate with us, albeit just via some nonsensical blabbering. She has picked up some more words though. A bit off, but still understandable.

‘街街’ (Gai Gai) is Ga Ga

‘鞋子’ is Je Zi

‘谢谢’ is Xe Xe

‘姐姐’ is Je Je

‘舅舅’ is Giu Giu

‘婆婆’ is Bo Bo

‘抱抱’ is Ba4 Ba4

'Bye Bye' is also Ba Ba

Luckily, there are still some more words that she did picked up accurately and is speaking well.

‘公公’，‘姑姑’，‘奶奶’，‘爷爷’，'Ball' and 'Apple' sounds right.

She has been producing her own baby lingo as well. Mickey and Minnie Mouse are called 'bak' for unknown reasons. And she has been humming 'um mo po', 'um bo po' and 'um mo po po' frequently. Nobody seems to be able to decipher that or relate that to anything. *scratch head*

Interesting!

R(A) Language

Sometimes kids just say funny things. Was in the lift with 姑姑 today and I told 玄玄 to 叫姑姑. She just refused to say anything. After the lift reach our floor, I walked out with her first, and she said ‘姑姑叫’ to me. Sounds so R(A)!!!

Zi Dao Bu Zi ....!!!

小玄子gave me a shock today, or maybe it's more of a surprise. I was nagging the little one cos she crawled under my table, picked up her toy and just stood up and hit her head from under the table. I told her '你已经长高了。不可以就这样站起来。要先爬出来才不会撞到头。知道不知道?' Then i heard the a little voice repeated after me '姿道不姿'. She sounded a bit off but it caught me by surprise that she has started mimicking how we talk. Suddenly, we are paying more attention to what she is babbling about cos it's starting to sound like words. Haha!

More audible vocabs emerging

Apart from 爸爸妈妈 and tons of babblering, she has started to say some words. For sometime, a few of us had heard her say 我不要even before she turns one. But that's only when she is desperate to get her intentions across. Eg. When daddy wanted to throw her into the pool. Or when mommy insisted that she put on her beanie in the omni theatre.

Now her sensible vocab includes 'yeah' to tell mommy she wants her bedtime story, 'kay' as in 'okay', and 'god' to tell you she likes her food and it's 'good'.
