How time flies, now it's my Sweetie's turn to reach 18 months old. As Mummy looks back at the old photos of this Sweetie, she can't help feeling glad that this darling of hers has grown up well and happy. Mummy also feels bad towards her baby cos' she was not able to dedicate as much time as she did with her Jiejie. The time and effort that mummy has, is now torn between her and her Jiejie. That's one of the reasons that mummy intends to send her Cutie to a pre-school, so that she could spend more quality time with her Sweetie alone.
My Sweetie can now say quite a number of words, here's a record of words which she understands and uses them:
1) peas (please), hug hug, kiss, stand (understand), lo (hello),
2) wey (wait), there, tuck (stuck), eat, keep,
3) hap (help), cut, give, opern (open), gif (give)

8) cow, key (monkey), pig, wof (wolf), ret (parrot),
9) bra (haha... zebra), duc (duck), fly (butterfly), wer (flower), ter (water)
10) ah ra (dora), pororo, kitty (Hello Kitty), Elmo, thomas (Thomas, the train),
11) ger (Tigger, the tiger), mous (also referring to mickey/mini mouse),
12) eyes, nose, ear (ears), neck, hair
13) gers (fingers), toe, cap, bag, shoe (shoes)
14) star, har (heart), ker (abacus), wal (watch), fone (phone),
15) ball, book, ring, pen, loon (balloon),
16) tool (stool), chair, bed, matt (mat), ble (table),
17) Jie Jie, mei mei (younger sister), mama, papa, gougou (her doggie),
18) gongon (grandfather), baby, mummy, time (when telling it's lunch/dinner time), gurt (yoghurt),
19) late (chocolate), sheet (sweet), bye (goodbye), pain pain (painful), tissue,
20) tee (teeth), car, cle (spectacles), ligh (light), poopoo,
21) had (hat), snow (snowman), ki (Pinky, her softtoy), no more, sion (lotion),
22) nap, you (thank you), kock (clock), ori (sorry), milk,
23) ble (bubble), watc (watch), finis (finish), cle (spectacles), door,
24) bowl, kip (hairclip), cake, some alphabet letters especially E (yes, E for Elmo) and goes "ou ou ou" whenever she sees a doggie [Mummy finds this amusing cos' this sounds more like the seals actually].
So far, this Sweetie is able to repeat the words after us, of course remembering them is otherwise haha.... But Mummy thinks this Sweetie is already quite good to be able to say the above-mentioned words on her own and uses them correctly.
In comparison, my Cutie knows more words than her (able to recognise A-Z (video), 1-9 etc. Sorry Sweetie, Mummy has not been spending much time playing flashcards with you). However, this Sweetie is quite an achiever with many 2- and 3-syllabus words at this stage. This Sweetie is also no less more musical inclined (maybe cos' of the singing activities we often have as a threesome). Many a times, Mummy can hear this Sweetie trying to sing the ABC song herself and also some self-created songs which often only has same word as lyrics throughout eg "bear". Mummy has not been able to capture this on video cos' this Sweetie will stop whenever she knows she's on camera, *naughty*, *naughty*. She is definitely no less a happy and cheerful baby. Mummy simply loves her smiles.
Daddy is also very happy to come home everyday, with her welcoming him and calling him "papa" so sweetly and with her sweetie smile. Daddy says it melts his heart.
Recently, my Sweetie enjoys helping mummy to put the wipes back into the cupboard. Mummy is glad to have her help cos' it's getting too "expensive" to get my other helper (aka Cutie) to help [my Cutie is into playing "supermarket" and "cashier" lately, that whenever she passes me the new pampers and wipes, she will tell me 3,000 (haha... referring to Korean won of course and her Dora laptop automatically becomes her cash register)]. Mummy often has to play along to "pay" for the stuff.
Mummy only has 2 complains about this Sweetie at this moment. The first is that she's in the stage of exploring things, however she doesn't have the habit to put back Mummy's stuff after playing with them. Mummy often has to spend time looking for things which she puts on the table just a while ago. It can be so tiring, just looking for things especially when you need them urgently. *Sigh*. Mummy just need to endure through this growing phrase for young toddlers. In fact, Mummy is actually quite glad that her babies doesn't have the habit of opening drawers and cupboards.
The second is, of course, her freely used "NO". Everytime, when you asked her something, you can just predict the answer that you will get from her. When Mummy asked if she wants to eat chocolate, she will just simply say "no" and turn her head away from the chocolate with great pretence (haha... bet you didn't know that she loves chocolate). Mummy gives up after getting the same response again and again, so Mummy decides to eat the chocolate. Then this Sweetie will come running after me, calling "Mama" non-stop. Playing hard to get already at such young age? Often she's only trying that on Mummy and she will ofen come begging Mummy for the things after Mummy gives up trying . Arrgh.... getting cheeky, right?Here's a video of my Cutie peeling the oranges which she enjoys doing very much. Do watch out for my busy Sweetie in the background. See her identify the letter "E" and share with you her "Elmo mama" and "Pororo". Gee...
