Milestones at 11 months old

Babywyx is turning 11 months in a few days’ time… how time has flown! In recent weeks she has grown exponentially; with her crawling all over the place, displaying hilarious antics and uttering new sounds. These new ‘entertainment’ to us adults almost seemed to obscure those tiring, confounding newborn days when we would have to guess what is it she wants when she cries. We would have to go through a mental list ranging from milk, soiled diapers, discomfort to crankiness, wind, carrying, womb noises etc to soothe her. Now, baby has developed a routine and thankfully, largely sticks to it. In addition, we are also blessed that she is able to entertain herself on the play-mat with a bunch of toys.



Just to mark down what she is capable of doing now:

- Wave bye
- Repeatedly blowing bubbles using her saliva


- Responds to ‘hao chi zhen mo jiang?’ -> “mmmm”
- Responds to ‘yes sir!’ -> place both hands on her head, apparently a very poor mimic of a hand salute
- Responds to ‘ring ring’ -> places her palm to her ear
- Responds to ‘flying kiss’ -> places her palm to her mouth and holds it there. Kiss but no fly.
- Repeatedly pushing and pulling the legs of chairs and stools



- When the TV screen is blank, she will rotate both wrists to indicate “no more”
- A few TV commercials will catch her attention like magic e.g. Barney, Peppa pig, news introduction, weather forecast music
- Responds to 'tou wai wai' -> tilts her head sideways


 Clinging on to something to stand up
- Recognize a book is upside down and proceed to turn it the other way! *shock shock*
- When lying down, understands when I place my thumb above her head. She will grab my finger and use it to pull herself onto a sitting up posture
- Responds to “dinosaur” -> growls like one
- Responds to "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands" -> claps her hands :D
- Understands “clock” and will turn her head to look for it. Same for “Mickey & Donald”, “liu2 lian2”.
- Always looks to the door when she hears the keys, door being opened or the lift doors.
- Currently, learning how to respond to 'chi bao bao' -> proceed to patting her tummy
Etc...

She's already displaying similarities to Curious George. We think she'll be one cheeky monster. Heh heh...

Random notes from Ye

On 2 separate occasions, I was working at my home desk when Ye sat beside, doodled on a post-it and passed it to me:
