Caryn fiddles

She picks up her Jiejie's violin, which is obviously too big for her, and starts fiddling.

1 more week to 18 months.

'Playing' the Piano


Caryn loves playing on the piano! She will find an adult & hold that person's hand, & pull him/her towards the piano & tried to climb up... She really enjoys music at a tender age.


Self-Feeding

Caryn asked to be carried to sit on the chair and began to use the spoon to scoop the food from the bowl into her mouth. Success rate at this point in time is about 50%, in other words, she would get to devour the food 1 in every 2 tries. That encouraged her and the more she wanted to continue scooping and scooping and scooping...

Another milestone achieved.. kudos to my little girl!

Happy 16 months!

Here's my favourite photo of my darling Caryn.

Her eyelids are still yo-yo-ing between single & double everyday. I'm so pleased with myself for capturing this shot with her beautiful double eyelids! hee hee..


She loves the ice cream cone and completely possessed my cone.. Who can resist an ice cream on a humid Sunday afternoon? Not even my lil babe.

Happy 15 months!

With 11 teeth - 3 molars, 4 front upper & 4 lower teeth, her appetite is still as adventurous as ever. She dares to try noodles with chilli and has no complaints as her Daddy attempts to feed her.

However, she has milk fuss, and would fervently shake her head and wave her hand to signal 'no' when she sees the milk bottle.. haiz..

Nowadays I'm playing the "Your Baby Can Read" VCDs for her to watch more frequently. After a few sessions, she can identify the words eg wave, nose, head with its corresponding actions :) Her favourites are still songs, especially "If You're Happy" and "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes". She would stand up and get ready for action when the VCD reach that segment.

There was once I lip-kissed JieJie and she saw it. A few moments later, she came walking up to me wanting to kiss me! So sweet! I'm pleasantly delighted :)

She also understands when I asked her to kiss JieJie, and she would bring her face close to JieJie to kiss her lips.. such a loving sight! Awww...

Chinese New Year 2010


We are back to my mom's place for reunion dinner.

Just by looking at my girls tucking into the sunptuous spread warms my heart :)

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*
