Some Updates... 07 Jun '09

It has been ages since I have really updated on Ashlynn's development. I would say that no major milestones since she started walking at 13 months.

These are the stuffs which she has been up to these days:

1) dance very well. she can change actions depending to the rhythm of the music. If it is a fast music, she will shake her butts fast. If it is a slow music, she will sway and wave her arms, etc... We can see that she is quite passionate about dancing. At least for now.

2) Enjoys eating chicken wings and fries like mummy. Will give the "good good" sign non-stop when she eats these foods.

3) Had her official "rice" meal last night. After her LNT lesson, we went for dinner at Ichiban Boshi. When we took out her porridge, we realised that it was overcooked and had turned so liquid that I think even Ashlynn was quite frustrated eating it. I decided to offer her some of my jap rice and she took it quite well. Since the porridge was almost in the liquid state, I poured it over the rice to act like a soup. She ate quite abit. Half a bowl or slightly less. We were not sure. But definitely more than what I had. She ate it with the fish and veg from the porridge. I also dished out tofu (without the salty miso soup) to add to her rice. I will brainstorm on cooking rice for her soon.

4) Can pretend-play quite well. She will open her desitin or aloe vera gel, use her finger to swipe the top and apply to her body and sometimes face. Very cute. She will also pretend to open a can drink and drink from it. After drinking, she will go "haaa....", like as if it is very shiok. Will also pretend to feed her soft-toys.

5) Can't speak very well yet, but can say a few words like pa, ma and bread. When I took out a slice of bread, she pointed at it and said bread.

6) Listens to instructions (when she is in a good mood). When I asked her to throw away her dirty diapers, she will throw it into the dustbin.

7) Loves opening the drawers in the house. The house is always a mess or things are found in the wrong drawers after her "game". Also loves to play with switches.

8) Still needs her pacifier to fall asleep. We are not intending to wean her off anytime soon.

I started my June holidays so I am hoping that I can teach her more things while I am at home.
