Hi there, a very very simple update on Andersen's milestone...
Em just need to mark it down a day that he successfully rolled over himself. Yes, is today! One more thing is, he starts teething his 2 milk teeth at the bottom. Ya, became more grumpy lately.
Lazy to upload the new photos now, shall do it when in good mood...
Well, i found that she scared stiff of join in the music class since two weeks ago. But it really annoyed me to find out the answer why she has this anxiety? Cuz she enjoyed the classes all the while from the beginning.
Initially i felt angry and sad when i saw her howling, of course i know i shouldn't compel her but WHY does she turn this suddenly ?
One of my good fren commented maybe am wrong to let her the participation moves too much. Well, i very earnest has thought this question. Am i? Yea, maybe yes, maybe not. However, I think the main reason is she scared of the noisy environment. She cried when peoples started to playing the music instruments in suddenly.
Okay, anyway i don't wish to bring the negative influence to her. So, I wish to steer clear the music class immediately and restart it after my confinement. Somebody may concern what about her Shichida's class? Aw, she likes it very much! And she has great benefits and great progress from the classes.
Frankly, i can say Ashley is a very intelligent child. But she has her own personality as she is very gentle, soft and timid. As for social development, go slow.
What's the 'standard form' of the children's personality developments??? I can say, all child is an individual. They are unique and meet milestones at their own pace.
Others developments:-
~ can memorize simple picture related to their words
~ can listen to a short story or book with good concentration
~ carries on a simple short conversation, "what a mess!" she said. "who mess up the place?" i asked her. "u!" "u!" "Ashley"
~ Recites own name
~ puts on a short pant
~ ask u "go home" when she felt bored or tired
~ understands 'mine'
~ stacks 5blocks
~ understands some descriptions ( eg.big, sharp )
~ recognizes when something is wrong
~ learns words at a rate of ten or more a day
~ puts on loose fitting cloths
~ begins to understand sooner or later
~ ask u or herself will turn off the tv or fan when she wants to go out or bed
~ always call me "mama" then "hi" to me when she knew am unhappy or angry with her behavior
~ able read 1-10 in malay, english, mandarine
~ say "done" when u finished washed her hand, finished bath...
~ makes two-three words a sentence e.g."i want my book" , "bath for me"
How time flies, my Ashley gal turned 18 months today. I still will do the monthly summary milestone of her although i had missed the last one. Sometimes i just can't recall everything that she has developed but i'll trying my best.
She such my dear child!
• Energetic (walk more steadily, Can walk up stairs with holding my hands but probably not down, run, push, pull, take apart, carry, and climb on and grab things).
• She can also hold in her mind a clear memory of an object well after you remove it from her vision.
• Sorts toys by shape
• Like to imitate the sounds and actions of others (by pretending to do housework or your appearances ).

The most important thing is that your toddler is growing at a steady, appropriate rate, not that he's hit some magic number.
My Ashley is growing up fast these day especially her language skill ( i heard some old folks says some toddles who tends to walks slower shall learn to talk faster and vice versa ), she still can't walks on her own but she walks while gripping your hand, she takes a little longer. Am always keep in mind that babies have different timetables, and premature babies may reach this and other milestones later than their peers. As EXPERT said, it's a mistake to hurry her toward upright mobility, since standing, "cruising," and walking are as dependent on a toddler's confidence and motivation as they are on her muscle development and coordination. In fact, if you rush her toward this motor milestone and she falls or senses your disapproval and impatience, it can actually slow her down. So, patience is key.
• Matches lids with appropriate containers
• Plays with ball; bounce, tap, throw, drop, roll.
• Switches from two naps to one
• Speaks more clearly ( sorry to say mummy feeling lazy to list out all the words )
• Kicks ball forward
• Busy (like to flip light switches, pour things in and out of containers, unwrap packages, and empty drawers).
• Want to be independent and do it herself especially on feeding time
• be more clingy.
• Begin to see how they are like and unlike other children
• Become more sensitive to the moods of others
• Increase their vocabularies from about 2 or 3 words to about 400 words and understand more of what people say to them.
• reward you with laughter, funny faces, and affectionate hugs.
• asks for something by pointing or using one word
• enjoys being held and read to
• enjoys an audience and applause
• she has 11 teeths and teething the 12th at the bottom

Since my dear dear from a baby turned to a toddler, certainly i have to change the fomula milk for her. Initially i've tried to changed EnfaPro from Enfalac A+ ( her daily milk feed ) for her but with the surprisingly she vomit everytime when she intake it. So, it makes me realized is doesn't mean the most expensive is the best one.... LOL
Well, simplify to introduce the benefits of Mamil GOLD.
Fermentation of IMMUNOFORTIS ( scientifically proven oligosaccharide mixture ) by the good bacteria in the intestine creates a healthy intestinal environment. This helps to
~ increase growth of good bacteria
~ decrease growth of harmful bacteria
~ promote strong intestinal barrier
Thus, i've noticed you can't find any coagulation object ( cuz some milk powder will coagulate in together.
Yea, Mamil Gold with IMMUNOFORTIS is now my dear dear daily milk feed. Stay healthy!

Hey guys, good news to share with you that my baobei is able to distinguished which one is BIG & SMALL. Amazing right? Yea, but its true. I'll video down as an evidence to proof it later.
Well, I've constantly noticed every changes of her. But i just can't change my thoughts into words completely. It's always complicated.
She is very good at learning the names of things. She can memorise it immediately or after 2-3times i speak to her what's the objects named. Wow!
She is enable to turn on the CD player by press the on/off key and the play key. It gave daddy quite a shock to saw when this happened.
And she knows what is the functions of remote control. ( she knew it early but now she already can pressed the on/off key and changed to the different channel )
Thus she can take roughly 20steps when held in a walking position.
Cruises : She can moving from one piece of furniture to the next ( nearest ) for support or even scoop up a toy from a standing position.
Stands alone for a couple of seconds : She can even be able to let go and stand without support for a couple of second. And she able to take steps when held in a walking position.
Squatting : Squat from standing position.
Imitates others' activities : She'll rocks her head when you do so. And put her hands up when you do and say 'hurray'! *roll eyes
Points to one body part when asked : e.g., ear, toes, nose & eyes ( depends on her mood )
Responds to instructions (e.g., "give me a french kiss", "what will you do when you feel scary" - she'll tapping her chest, "rub your hands" )
Empties containers of contents
Open CD case and take out the disc
Understand many simple words and phrases : over 50words
Use her saliva makes bubbles.
Distinguished shapes ( circle, triangle, square )
Open & Close the door ( sliding )
Enjoys looking at books and leafing through the pages
Crawls : Yea, she crawls very well. She can crawls very fast now.
Separation anxiety : She's become used to his surroundings and familiar faces, and she likes predictability. And she starts for some cranky, clingy behavior. So i need to prepare plenty of distractions — picture books, noise-making toys, nesting blocks, hand puppets, and definitely her security object - blanket & familiar soft toys.
Pulling up : She starts trying to pull himself up to a stand while holding onto furniture.
Feed herself some food : Just about any bite-size piece of food that she can pick up and eat by herself with pincer grasp now. She starts to showed by grabbing the spoon when you're feeding her with or snatching food off your plate. sigh* I started to let her take the few pieces of food feed herself from the unbreakable bowl (e.g. cheese, bread, carrot, cut up raisins or soft fruits ). Its really a good way to train her motor skills.
Puts objects into a container : yea, she does it pretty good.
Understand many simple words and phrases : Okay, i try to list out what words that she is understand now. ( nose, mouth, tongue, eyes, hair, light, fan, blanket, bolster, hand, lotion, mirror, mobile phone, toothbrush- she'll put the toothbrush into her mouth when you asked her to show how to brush teeth, CD player, TV, computer, the pooh, bugs & monster {soft toy's name}, give, take, 'NO', cannot, shake, dance ) well, i think that's all i can think of.

Feed herself some food : Just about any bite-size piece of food ( the best is bread) that she can pick up and eat by herself but we have to ensure it is save that she won't choke herself.

She's ready to start feeding herself cuz she starts to showed by grabbing the spoon you're feeding her with or snatching food off your plate. sigh* At first, she just rake food into her hand and bring it to her mouth, but she is emerging how to use his thumb and forefinger to pick up food to her mouth.

Remember, your baby is an individual. All babies are unique and meet milestones at their own pace. — if not right now, then soon. If your baby was premature, keep in mind that kids born early usually need a bit more time to meet their milestones. If you have any questions at all about your baby's development, ask your healthcare provider.
