Sweetie turns 1

Time really flies. It seems like yesterday that mummy was in the labour ward and it seems only yesterday that my Sweetie was just a newborn who sleeps almost the whole day and needs help in almost anything.

Finally, my Sweetie turns 1 today. She has finally graduated (ie. no worries about having to bring milk bottles around everywhere we go).


Here's some little update about this Sweetie:

1) When asked what's her name, she will place her hand on her chest, telling you "My name is Felicia";

2) When asked "where?", she will open both her hands with palms facing up, replying "where". She can also show the sign language for "headache" and "thank you".

3) She can follow simple instructions eg. lie down, sit down, hands up etc.

4) She loves to pass things to people. Life's getting better for mummy as she will help to pick up her water bottle and give to mummy with no complain.

5) She has been helping her Jie Jie in keeping some toys before bedtime.

6) She understands the request for "hug" and "pat" actions. It just feels so nice when she hugs and then follow with patting.

7) Mummy's favourite is her generousity in giving her kisses. The only complain is that she will give the kiss with her mouth wide-open. Really enjoy watching her hugging, pat pat and kissing her soft toys. Reminds me of my Cutie too. It's just so sweet to watch their innocent hugs, pats and kisses.

8) She loves "saying" hello and clapping (been able to do that at 9 months old and she still enjoys so much, Sweetie).

9) She loves music and will dance to the music.

10) She is becoming an expert at eating cos' been giving her small mouthful of different variety of food to taste.
Result: The moment she sees mummy with food, you will see her crawling towards me at great speed.

11) She can stand up on her own, from sitting position. Even at times, mummy walks away leaving her in standing postion (with no support), she is able to remain standing on her own.

12) She can walk along side by side with the sofa/bed on her own. Mummy is confident that she will be able to walk very soon.

13) Almost forgot, she knows how to come down from the bed safely. So don't be surprised if you see me left her on the bed by herself. Glad that now instead of having to worry that she will fall off the bed, mummy has taught her how to be safe. But arrgh..., now she always stand on the bed, *faint*

14) She knows how to show good with her index finger (exactly same signature "good" sign as her jiejie)

15) Last but not least, my Sweetie's smiles never fail to warm mummy's heart.
