1st Birthday - the Money maker and Book Lover

ha...ha...this was taken on her 1st birthday. We had a traditional celebration, my mum was there to prepare all the stuff on the big plate. They were money, a piece of drumstick, calculator, pen, book, a pair of scissor, egg, and ang pao. She was supposed to choose those stuff, and the first stuff she chose would represent her interest when she grows up. She chose a piece of note, MONEY ha...ha....she would become a money maker, has business acumen. And the 2nd choice she took was a book, that would mean she would love book or good in study. How true the supersition is??? I dunno, but if it is a good one, then believe it.

Climbing up and down a set of stairs

She knows how to climb stairs and going down stairs since she was 16 months. Before that we would hold her hands and guided her climbing, she would climb as fast as she could. But with training only once, she also could go down stairs herself.

Nowadays, she likes to sing............of course her own songs, ba...ba....ba...ba....anyway...she can mimic the melody, Barney song, ba....bah...bah....and ends it with bye...bye...bab..ba... (bye bye Barney) or....sing mama song, she can sing herself before she sleeps.

Sad and sob...if I raise my voice

She is different from her older sister. When I raise my voice by scolding her, she will be upset and sob quietly. Her face will show that she understands that I am scolding her. :(

These few days, after the departure of Nimfa, she was so clingy to me, last night she wanted me to carry her while she was sleeping on my shoulder.

Knows how to tell us "shi..shi...."

At 16mth old, she has started showing us signal when she wants to go to toilet, either pooh pooh or shi...shi.... Sometimes I will ask her if she would like to go.........but if we forget to ask, she would tell, by touching her pants.

New maid- Rona

She has a strong rejection towards the new maid, Rona. In fact the very first night, when I came home late around 9pm, she looked at me and sobbed and wanted me to carry her, even though she was being carried by her dad in his arm. I guess somehow she suddenly remembered Nimfa, and missed her, and did not know how to express her feeling. Poor girl. It's been five days now, but she still refuses her attending her. When we are around, she doesn't like her to carry, to bathe, to feed, etc. She is so clingly to me, wants me to hug and carry her. Before the maid comes near her, she has already made noise and pushes her away. But when nobody at home, she has no choice, she is OK with Rona. ")
