It's been such a busy time for me at work... Usually it will be really late by the time she goes to sleep and I'll be dead tired too...
At 13.5 months old, she is no longer a baby... more like a little adult and learning new things everyday to amuse me and hubby. Below are just some ratings of my little one's development...
Language development: SLOW
- she's still blabbering baby language but sometimes will try to pronouce certain words (e.g. BBRRRIIIII while pointing to birds.) cannot believe that her first word is not papa and mama!
Whoever who told me that babies who stick around older kids will learn to talk faster, THIS IS TOTALLY NOT TRUE!!!!
Understanding Instructions: AVERAGE
She can understand
- A stern "NO" will make her stop at her tracks,
- "Give" and she will pass you the item,
- "Throw" - she will take her soiled diapers and throw them in the bin
- "Go to Papa" - she will strut quickly in the direction where hubby is seated or standing
Understanding vocabulary: AVERAGE
- "Hot", she will immediately pause and not touch the item,
- "Banana", a head turner! It's her favourite fruit, never fails to catch her attention and she will flash her most brillant smile if there's one in your hands.
EMOTIONS
- Whine and demands to be picked up even if she happens to trip and fall (This has been corrected. When she whines, hubby and I will just tell her stand up on your own. After 2 days, she will pick herself up.)
- She begins to cry if you snatch something that she's holding tightly to. Using the word "give" will not garner reaction. (This is a behavior which hb and I are still deciding whether we should teach her about)
- Whines and pretend to cry if she does not get a mouth of the fruit you are having (to the extend that she will stare at you with the "Mama/Papa, PLEASE?" sad puppy eyes look. And if hb is hugging her, she will open her mouth wide and bend her head forward when the food is going towards his mouth)
WALKING: GOOD
- Walking is her favourite activity and something which she is best at. When we are out, she walks around full of purpose (as if she knows where she is heading to). Only thing is she will walk right into the legs of unsuspecting adults.
SOCIAL SKILLS: AVERAGE
- She loves other kids. Especially those with balls and battery operated cars. (she chased after a boy who was on a battery operated car.)
OTHER WIERD ACTIVITIES SHE WILL PARTAKE:
Pushing her own pram or even the super market trolley -
Currently her favourite activity, even if it means bending down by the waist to push. And even if it means pushing a trolley that is filled with 3 packs of 5kg rice, 2 bottles of 1 litre oil, 18 tins of assorted tin foods and 6 packets of instant noodles among other things (hubby told me that she was actually using her strength to push the trolley when he let go and yes the trolley moved for over 2 metres... and if hubby did not stop her, she would continue pushing! SUCH strength at this age!!!).
