16months Update

Emeryn's new bootie

Not much changes in emeryn this month... A lil’ taller and smarter of course... Now she would call PaPa without needing us to guide her... Whenever she enters mummy’s room, she’ll never fail to call or murmur “PaPa”... Without hesitation, she would hold daddy’s photo and kiss it... She must be missing her daddy a big time or even yearn to play with daddy, huh??? And of course mummy is delighted to know that emeryn still recall her daddy despite not seeing him in person for 2months... Now that daddy owns a new notebook, he can see us anytime and communicate with us anytime too...

Being in her 16months now, emeryn could replicate more words than before... She could utter:

• co-co-dial (crocodile)
• ek-ek (as in dirty)
• cok-lok-cake (chocolate cake)
• kok-kok-beh (horse)
• no-no (as in No or deny)

Whenever grandpa comes home from work, she would call him “ah gong” and trails him around... Whenever leaving grandma’s place, she would wave good-bye on her own and say Ta-Ta and also give a flying-kiss... When she did something unpleasant, mummy will warn her and beat her softly... Mummy will then demand emeryn to apologize by saying sorry to mummy (of course she can’t pronounce it) and kiss mummy in another way to plead guilty... And she did it!!! Guess by now, she knows the after-effect of being a naughty girl... Oh yes, mummy has trimmed emeryn’s fringe as well... It’s way too long and distracts her eye sight... Her hair is long enough to tide a short ponytail by now but it doesn’t look too good on her... Hehe :)

Sometimes she would pretend to knock her leg to the cabinet and said “oh oh” in pretext of telling mummy that she has just hurt herself and need some comfort... And mummy will hold her tiny leg, rub it and kiss it... She would then smile cheerfully... She loves playing pee-a-boo now by covering her face with a cloth and make fun of herself... She loves running around in the living room... She is learning to jump now and she is well trained for potty time... Emeryn also like climbing high and she is not afraid of height... She would never stop climbing no matter how many times she falls... What a spirit, huh? She would climb on her chair and point on the pictured-poster in her room...She knows some of the item when mummy tests her out...

My young lil’ dancer has now become more professional... She has learned to gather more steps and shakes herself freely to the rhythm... She loves riding kok-kok-beh (horse) and poor mummy has to be the kok-kok... Mummy will go on “four-legs” and let Emeryn rides on top of mummy... At times Emeryn will sit up straight while riding and at times she will lie on mummy and hugging mummy tightly... Though it’s aching on mummy’s leg to be the kok-kok but it worth a lot seeing emeryn laughing happily...

Emeryn’s feet have grown bigger in no time. Her old bootie is rather small for her growing feet by now... Thus, mummy bought her a new and a nicer bootie... It’s also pink in color but it has higher length... It’s so nice (no doubt)... She can comprehend orders a lot better now... She knows how to grasp on mummy’s shoulder each time she gets dressed up to avoid her from falling... She has quit sleeping in her cradle at nite and sleeps on a mattress now. It’s such a great migration from cradle to bed... Cheers to a better and longer sleep time!!!

My lil’ girl is getting brainy each day and I’m so blessed honestly... She makes me an authentic proud mummy...
