We had 2 different families staying over at our place for the past week. Last week after sending off Jazeline and family, the next day my Uncle and Aunt came over for a 2-night-stay.
We spent a good hour at the Terminal 3 this afternoon before saying goodbye to my Uncle and Aunt. It was our 2nd visit to the T3. First visit was waaaayyyy back in January, I think, when Chloe was still too small to understand anything. Today, she had great fun, despite her wet nose since last night.
Last but not least, a video of her walking at Terminal 3 :)
'Papa' is her most favourite word. She even greets 'Papa Papa' to strangers.
'Mama' should be her least favourite word. I hope it's only temporary.
New add-on to her vocabulary is '姐姐' (jiejie/elder sister).
'Bibi' is referring to Baby or other children around her age.
Sometimes she called 'didi/jiji' when she sees cat/dog/bird. (Don't ask me why.)
She could point to (or pass to us) a lot of things in her surroundings when asked. The fan, TV, playpen, loaf of bread, eggs, phone, socks, coins, piggybank, barney, ball, piglet, milk, water bottle, pacifier, ...
The funny sight we witnessed last night was, she pointing to the cane which was hanging on the wall, shortly after her granny scolding her cousin Kelly. Haha..
She is walking now. Ah.. this must be the most proud achievement..
She has 6 teeth. I think another one or two pair are on their way, cos she drools like tap water again.
Her emotions are growing, like crying out loud for little little things (maybe should term it as crocodile tears); don't want to go home with us every night for she gets more pampered at in-law's house. She is the big bully of the house!!
Her fears has developed too. Like fears for some furry dark soft toys, I actually caught her trembled for a few times. I hope she grows up to be more brave though..
Lots of improvement seen on her social skills, especially towards strangers. Ice are easily broken. She loves touching or pulling kids's clothes (strangers) on the road too! Beware if you see us on the road..
Her cheekiness is a masterpiece, like pretending to feed you and moved the food away (or even biting them) after u go closer. Another one is to crawl to her Aunt, and quickly crawled away after she opens wide arm to carry her..
Oh, she expresses 'Yummy!好吃! by pointing a No. 1 and cheers happily :)
When her music instincts arise, she'll compose a brief jingles on her xylophone. When bored, she will still bite it.. :P
Her dance moves has improved! And sometimes she mumbles mumbles with a poor rhyme, which i think she's trying to sing :)
She mimics a lot these days. You know the skin care advertisements by Linda 钟嘉欣? She would follow her 'tap-tap-on-the-face' moves, except that Chloe taps her ear..
Or the latest KFC Christmas TV ad (hand languages) and the stoopid Mediacorp-Ads advertisement where all the characters will swing their heads like the air purifier device? Chloe did that too! Hahaha..
We had fun attending Kelly's Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony and Concert last night. Kelly is my 6yo niece. Everyone went to support her 'big night'. Even Chloe did.
The over-worried parents (me and hubby) were quite reluctant to bring her along initially. She proved us wrong by dancing, cheering, clapping along with the kids' dances. She must have had the most fun last night.
As for me, I was weeping when I saw the kids queuing up, descending the stairs and making their way up to the stage. Haha. I always get emotional when I see family members or close friends embarking new journeys in their lives.
In my heart, undoubtedly, I was imagining the day when Chloe is graduating from Kindergarten. Haha. Probably I'll cry buckets when the day comes :P
Anyway, some pictures to share:
And a video of a supportive baby audience at the concert :)
I couldn't remember when was the last time we took Chloe out after work. Yesterday night was such a night. We actually had dinner at in law's place before leaving for IKEA (Tampines).
The brief shopping perked us up a lot. Chloe was so happy to be in the kids' section (read: colourful soft toys).
What hubby and I thought the cutest was this party hat. This was the birthday cake hat.
It took us some time before deciding on which one to buy. We bought the fruit platter design in the end :)
