Growing up - Ee Wern 13 to 16 months

After your first birthday, you demand for more attention.

We (mommy & jie jie) brought you to Dr Tan at Loyang Point for your 1 year old vaccine. Dr Tan expect you to cried. He said it's expected and every baby that came to him will scream on top of their lung during vaccination. Mommy was distracting you with songs and a plush toy. Jie Jie was performing in front of you with songs and dance. As Dr Tan insert the needle into your arm, you make a sudden glance at Dr Tan then your arm. Dr Tan was astonished with your reaction and gave you a smile. Haha, you made it without a whim. Similarly, like your jie jie, she never cried at every vaccination. Mommy thinks both you and jie jie are brave :-)

You understand us. When mommy said where is the wet wipes, you will look for it. When daddy said put the block back into the container, you will too. You will show your cheeky face to attract attention. You will try out different expression when stand in front of mirrow. You will shout excitedly when you see daddy appear after work. You will scream to jie jie when you can't get the toys you want. You will comb your hair with mommy's comb and smile in front of the mirror.

From 14 months old, you called daddy and 'mum mum' (means food) fluently. Sometimes mommy mistaken you of being hungry because you said 'mum mum' all the time! You show no interest in walking. The only interest you have is explore, explore and explore.

Mommy always fascinated with your concentration. You have figured out from opening a cap of any bottle to emptying the content of a basket/can. I am amazed with your ability to learn by observing and practicing. You started to doodle at the 15 months. You can hold a pencil the way it should be to draw lines. You would point to the CD player so we played your favorite songs.

You knew when we are upset with your behaviour. You would exhibit sad expression so we can empathize. Mommy always amazed with the ability of a 15months old child in communicating and understanding.

After Mother's Day on 12 May 2013, you started calling mommy! Yay! Subsequently, you called 'jie jie', baby, duck, come, here, there, Barbie and ball. When things go wrong, you will call for attention and babble 'oh'. You enjoys attention as all toddlers are. When you stand up on your own, you will cheered and clap. You make sure we clap and recognize your milestone too.

You love to explore. You would stack a block on top of each other and cheered. You would take a magnet and fascinated with the 'sticking' effect. You would doodle and call us to join you. You would direct us to direction you want to go. You would walk into the toilet to flush and giggled hearing the sound of gushing water. You would squeeze lotion in to your palm and apply on my leg. You would kick very hard when I applied nappy cream. When I looked angry, you would shout in your sweetest voice 'mommy'. You would play peekaboo by pulling up your shirt. You would 'fall down' on your own on jie jie's bed and giggled and said 'bom' (means falling down). You like to experience cause and effects moment. You loves to smash your sister's castle and giggled. 'Jie jie' will end up crying because she puts effort in building it. When mommy sing 'rock a bye baby', you would anticipated the falling effects and giggled. You like it when 'jie jie' dance and stop and act like a statute.

You started walking wobbly at 16 months. This is when we were back to Malaysia for a month holiday. You started crawling up at staircase in our Malaysia home. You were so curious. Mommy is exercising every day at the staircase without stopping your curiosity. At every outing, you will call 'mommy come'. You want mommy to be with you all the time. This is when daddy said you need to go to day care so you are not too sticky to mommy. Hahaha, daddy is jealous. :-P 

You are a happy toddler. Your endless excitement and smile warms everyone that meet you. You are very comfortable around people. Your gesture is gentle and polite. You will show your cheeky look with a smile to show 'no'. When daddy prohibit you from doing something (by showing a serious and disapprove gesture), you will stay quiet with a sad face. There are times we saw you would hold your tears from flooding your eyes. We feel you manage your emotions fairly well as a 16 months old. 

You love to flood your lap with lots of books. If I didn't hear you for more than 5 minutes, mommy knew that you will be in sister's room, sitting by the book shelf. You will empty the shelf and pick your favorite book. Then, you would hold the book and trotted out to show me. You will continue to walk around with the book and babble continuously. It's a pleasant moment to watch your excitement. 

Watching you growing up is a previous experience for daddy and mommy. We love you.
