Learning to walk

At 11 and a half months old, Caryn is very keen on walking on her own, even tho' she can't really do it yet. But I must say she can walk 7 to 8 steps without support & with us cheering her! That's already a feat!

She loves to be hold by 1 hand while her other hand points to the direction she wanna go or holds a toy. She absolutely enjoys holding my hand and pushing the toy stroller as she walks.

She's so confident at cruising around the sofa area now that she could do it twice as fast as a few weeks before. Crawling is all about speed now, and with a batter of the eyelid, she could have easily moved a meter!

The most amusing act she did was to walk at high speed, almost like running, from one end of her mattress to the middle, and happily fall down on the mattress thereafter. That's my joyful little baby! No wonder hubby keep saying she's getting cuter as she grows :)

Another of her favourite activity is to climb! Yep, she still loves that.. especially climb onto the sofa unassisted & wave bye-bye :) That's what the maid trained her to do almost everyday as hubby & me goes to work in the morning. Will she become a professional mountain climber in future.. I wondered?

Oh, she certainly loves food, but why izit that she's still so lightweight? At 7.4kg, she doesn't seem to look like a nearly 1-year old. However, whenever she sees people around her munching on food, she's sure to come our way, and she'll express her request to be fed :)

She has 6 teeth now, 4 upper & 2 lower, but she doesn't quite use them to chew.

As for her eyelid, it remains as 1 single & 1 double on & off. There was a period of 4 consecutive days when she has double eyelids on both eyes & you can imagine the joy in me :) I regret not taking a photo not knowing how shortlived the double eyelids were. It's alright.. I'm still waiting, the doubles will appear again.. *fingers crossed*
