Babywyx at 14 months

Babywyx just turned 14 months old. 

  

Having her hair cut a few weeks ago

She’s grown so much suddenly; despite not taking her first unassisted steps yet, her learning capacity, physical ability and hand-eye coordination have improved tremendously. A snapshot of what she’s well versed at:

• Loves music – will press toys for music and hop/sway along. Has learnt to strum gently on the ukulele
• Brilliant at directions – able to identify her whereabouts and point in the correct direction at objects
• Obsession with buses – points out and exclaims when she sees one (oh no… future bus otaku??!)
• Insatiable appetite – Wows at pictures/advertisements of food. Wants to eat food within her sight. Will throw tantrum if not given. Will offer her food to “share” with people around her – if you do not respond, she will mumble “umm” for you to do so
• Recognizes her name written in English. Able to identify numbers 1-10 and 75% of the animals on her Parklon playmat. Loves to see us draw – shoves a pen into our hands – Even when I draw ugly unconvincing pictures of dog/butterfly/pig/Minnie mouse – she can identify them! When she sees picture of birthday cake, she will start clapping – a signal for us to sing happy birthday.
• Can stamp her feet and raise her hands along to “If you’re happy and you know it”
• Calls out “papa” to me endearingly. Will hug me or her mama when we pick her up on weekday evenings
• Super cannot sit still – climbing and crawling all over the bed after shower, refusing to lie down still to put on diapers
• Fantastic memory – able to pick up a new word every day. Learnt how to unlock our phones after observing us do it couple of times.
• Words she can mouth – papa, ma (with emphasis, can mean mama/cat), gou (can mean dog / gong gong), ball (can mean ball/po po), a yai yai (ye ye)
• Very sociable and likes young children/baby – will wave at them, go towards them and sayang their head. At home, will whine and signal for us to open up the full length mirror so she can play and interact with her reflection.
• Able to perch her lips together and whistle (not kidding!)

Still absolutely adores Barney…
