Today. My Princess Turns Two.

Who just turns two? I still can't believe it, my then newborn little bunny was now a 2year old little lady. All happens in the blink of an eye!

You can sing, so many songs and, even created your own tunes sometimes! And you are one of the top students in your music class :)

You can fetch the potty, manage your pants down, finish your business and pull up your pants again. I'm proud!

You love drawing. Crayon, water colour, colour pencil, next I'll buy you marker okay?

You love company. Early in the morning when I'm getting ready to work, you'll hold my hand,"Mommy, sit down please." I'll spend a brief moment with you drawing stuffs or enjoying your sticker activities. Untill I'm running late, I hate to rush away from you while you calling me to come back. That makes me cry all the time :'(

You love wearing pretty stuffs. Ribbon, nice dress, pretty hat, fancy bracelets. You will request on certain items at the children's accessories department while you're busy trying them on.

You will grow up to be a happy gal, clever gal, healthy gal, good gal. And a gal who you wanna be :)

Mommy love you. Love you so much.

Norra @ 23months!

Cutting watermelon :)

Her first 'masak-masak' set :)

Sorry Mommy's been so busy (and lazy too) that I haven't been jotting down your milestones.
It's too fast that I missed catching up!

Loving
Stickers! Started having stickers from music teacher and we noticed how much you loved them. Mommy specifically ordered a set of sticker story books for you. That's something you really enjoy playing with us :)

Potty
You're officially on nappy-free completely. Grandma practices with you in the day for a while and now we're confident enough to let you go to bed without one! Not even need it when we're out! Definitely proud of you!

Speaking
Lots of sentences. You can express freely in terms of wanting or "no wan". Calling people morning when we go downstairs after waking up, without me asking you to :)
Part of the bedtime routine, "Mommy, I want, Miggie and, Donner Duck!" demanding for your favourite video clip.
In the middle of the night, sometimes from my deep sleep, I can hear,"Mommy, peez, guhm! Oi Oi Chuuee, dwink nen nen!"

Watching
Love watching Winnie the Pooh. Not even a few times watching and you can already tell me the stories :) after a while you started singing the songs in the videos. Love you!

Listening and Singing
You're definitely loving music so much. Especially the songs we played from your music class. That's a must-have for nap time routine :)

Enjoying going to your music class, of course. Spending time with your peers and oh well, you can actually pay attention to teacher too. Mommy's so proud :)

Learning
You've been playing with crayon for a while, water colours and even pencil colours. Though not much interest in drawing but we're learning colours at least. We're working on numbers too. Almost counting to ten. You often go from "one, two, theee, voh, seven!" Mommy will usually correct you by saying six, seven, then you'll be able to go,"egg, nai, ten!" Gave me a high-five and laughing away.

Eating
Favourite snack at the moment - seaweed! Though raisin still hold its top 3 places but seaweed can calm you instantly without failed.

Loving you more each day.

18 Months Old, Already!

Enjoying the sun and the greenery :)

It still blows my mind that you're now 18 months old and soon to be two year old within a good few months. Time really does fly, I just wish I could pause in between sometimes.

You've been a real chatty little gal lately, communicating with everyone with your very own language, sometimes Korean, sometimes French. It's such a cute scene when we have to react by guessing what you're trying to mean :) Because we know that you do really mean something especially when you're talking with your serious expression and little arms swinging.

We're implementing manners and you're doing pretty well. Calling everyone very often, learned to express yourself especially to get things you want; learned to say thank you as well. Another cutest things is, you just love talking on the phone! From your toy phone to an apple or an empty hand, you can just pop it next to your ear and talk while walking :) That's taught by Daddy!

We're so proud that we can let u go nappy-free by this early age, such a great accomplishment! We credit that to your PoPo, who patiently trained you on potty. You only wear nappy for day nap and night. Sleeping without nappy is going to be another milestone that we're aiming for.

Some of your major milestones:

- Getting to really love swimming. The most recent swim with Grandpa, you stunned us by lying on your stomach, kicking water and moving your arm at the same time, without guidance!
Later we found out from PoPo that you've been practising on the sofa, finally you got to apply it in the pool! :)

- It was just a while ago that you're learning to walk, now that you're running already :)
Few hiccups here and there when you're learning to pull the handbrake and controlling the speed. Now that you've mastered it :)

- Singing is something that you enjoy too. You love it when we duet with you.
Favourite song of the month:
The Muppets - Mahna Mahna :)

- Learned to jump as you see the neighbour's cats jumping all the time. Enjoying outdoor so much nowadays that you get to say hello to next door's cats and dogs.

More to add on later :)

Happy 18 months old my dearest Darling.

Love you,
Sweet Pea Mom

16 Months Old!

Daddy, when are you coming home?

Can't believe my Darling has turned 16months old!

She's totally grown so much. Each day she shows me surprises of what she learned when I come home.
That's the little surprises that keeps me going, especially when the day is tough!

The list is gonna be so long so I'd just try my best:

Enjoying her flashcards!

Speech:
She can say pretty much every part of her face and body. Each time I ask her where's her nose, she'll point at hers then she'll point at mine, and Popo's too.
One of her favourite bedtime story book, A Kiss Goodnight, that I read to her every night, about Mommy kissing Baby from toe to head before bed. Each time we open first page, she'll raise her toe to me saying "doe"; turning 2nd page, she'll show her knee saying "niiiiiii". But 3rd page onwards usually she'll lose her interest and roll away!
I love it when she sings too! Her favourite song: Old McDonald Had A Farm, Elmo Song. She also creates her own tunes and happily hums away. Such a happy baby :)

Potty Training:
I'm proud to say that Darling is officially diaper-free in the day! She'll tell,"Ng Nnnng" each time she wanna poop or pee. She even knows how to use it as a trick to get us to carry her away from the high chair or avoid sleeping! Next we will be training for bedtime too.

Motor Skills:
Claps, dance, sing (that's the cutest singing I've ever heard!).
She can also stack toys with her IKEA MULA Stacking Rings, sorting the right shapes through the hole with IKEA MULA Shape Sorter. Picks up rubbish, walks to the dustbin to dump it in. Keeps her toys into the box. Plays her little piano well. Turning the winnie pooh toy's twist dial with her little finger to make it move.

Social Skills
She learned to hi-5, fist bump, wave to bye, "Muah" with flying kiss, sayang and hugs. She'll be so excited whenever she sees babies and run to them, sayang and bao-bao (hug). It's so cute!


Mmmmmmuah!
