Fly, fly, fly... How time flies...

Ashley turned 20months old.

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"

~ emerging puts on shoes

時間過得超快的﹐又到了我寶貝的月份成才階段。寶貝已經十九個月大了﹐我發覺小孩成才得真的是超速﹐吸收能力也超強的。而且﹐每個寶寶都是天才﹗所以﹐千萬不要錯失了這一生中最重要的成才時期﹐要不停給予他們良好的刺激和教育環境讓她們好好吸收。:)

我將以沒有歸類和無次序似的敘述她的成才階段點滴:

- 喜歡把每一個東西的顏色講出來。比如﹐一本紅色的書﹐她會說‘red’﹐( 她會認red, yellow, blue, black, purple, green, brown, orange, pink, white. 她只會說英語﹐不過現在我也開始儘量教她華語的 )

- 會認些華語字 : 巴﹐河﹐爸爸﹐媽媽﹐瘦 ﹐等等。。。( 我只大概記得這一些 )﹐因為我有教她認華語的flash card

- 會記得有一整套的flash card, 就是連次序都記得。 ( linking memory )

- 認得有好幾套flash card, ( food, friuts and vegetables, daily necessities )

- 差不多會認完號碼 0-9 ﹐6 9 會時常搞錯。

- A - Z , a - z 也差不多會認完了。絕對沒有誇張﹐而且她已經學了好幾個月了﹐只是有時她就喜歡亂念。 阿姐告訴我她以前有教過一年級的學生不會abc和123﹗真的把我嚇壞了﹗七年里做父母的沒有教他這六個字???天啊﹗

- 會疊積木﹐讓它不倒下的那種。

- 表達能力進步﹐會直接用語言表達。當你問她要多少﹐會要求要兩粒魚油時說‘ two ’﹐一粒糖果' one ' 還會聳起食指。會叫你開這開那的‘ open ’!

- 會主動要抱抱我們﹐說‘ hug hug ’,要我們抱她就說‘抱抱’。

- 很愛喂我們吃東西。記得有一次她咬花生殼把花生拿出來喂我﹐好可愛﹗

- 會跟著唱cartoon歌﹐幾個字而已啦。

- 會提醒自己小心撞到頭。她會碰碰桌子說‘ head head ’ 然後說‘ move ’ ﹗

- 吃到好吃的會猛點頭﹐然後說‘ good ’ 或 ‘ very good ’﹗

- 很開心的時候會說‘ happy '

- 當看到亂七八糟時﹐她會說 ’what a mess ’! ( 都是她自己弄亂的 )

- 會扮死人﹐慢慢倒在地上﹐然後說‘哎呀﹐哎呀’。。。

- 愛搖屁股。當你說shake your bom bom... 或聽到莫些歌曲

- 知道什麼是happy face, sad face , angry face. 她會笑哈哈當你叫她show happy face, 皺眉頭angry face, 假哭sad face

- 最近開始﹐差不多每天晚上會主動說‘弟弟’﹐然後打開我的衣服在肚子上親一下再摸摸一下﹐然後把我的衣服蓋好說‘ close ’ 好sweet! 她會試著叫弟弟的名Andersen, but 發音還不是很準。

- 蠻愛說話的﹐在陌生人面前會害羞﹐熟了就嘰嘰喳喳。

好了﹐大概就這些吧。

寶貝女兒﹐媽媽希望妳能夠長胖一點﹐當然健康是最﹑最重要﹗

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

I think that's all i can remember.

看了大嫂用华语写的布落格我贪新鲜好玩，就写写看咯。。。

就写我小亲爱的月份成长记录吧！ （ 第一篇用华文写的 ）




时间过得真快，转眼间我已经十三个月大了。先说说我的食量吧！我一天会喝三—四次6oz的奶，半夜两次（有时一次，有时不需要，但是爸妈就连我睡觉时都怕我饿，尤其是爸爸）。两餐固体食物-粥，饭，米粉，面，米糊，薯泥 + 肉类 + 蔬菜 + 水果（少量）。分量是一满碗，有时吃一半或几口就不要了。有时候还真是难为了妈妈的苦心，还好妈妈蛮有耐心的，只是少有的时候会骂我几句。我最爱的小吃就是妈咪宝贝饼和起司。其他的我什么都吃，告诉你们，我还会吃一点点加哩呢!呵呵。。。

体能方面呢，妈妈就觉得我比较慢，但是一直以来我都是战战兢兢的去摸索，所以妈妈从没担心过。只是有时候会为我的体积操心而已。我说妈，最重要的是健康！而且医生说我的高度没问题，只不过是比较轻了点。没问题！

至于智商方面，我是绝对有信心的，我的理解能力比较强，我会跟着妈妈的指示做动作（有时候也要看心情），或者马上就能复制大人的鬼脸。我会摇头当我不要某样东西，比如：我吃不下了，我不要喝奶。当我很累的时候，我会自己拿奶嘴（放在矮的地方时），然后爬去房间拿我的被再躺在床垫。当我起来时，我会把奶嘴丢掉，因为妈妈时常告诉我睡醒了就不需要它了。我会喊妈妈当我做了大号，有时会在小马桶解决。上课方面，老师称赞我有很好的注意力因为我可以看完所有的flash card。告诉你们哦，在我的班里有一个大我一个月的小女生会自己把垃圾丢进垃圾桶了！我还可以让妈妈牵着我走整间房子，也可以扶着东西把一只脚抬起来，可以自己站着几秒钟，相信不久我就可以自己自由活动了！

兴趣方面，音乐就是我的强项。我很爱音乐，不论是古典或流行歌，任何音乐我都喜欢，这是妈妈和姨姨的栽培。我会跟着音乐摆动身体或头，还会哼歌（尤其是听到抒情歌曲时），喜欢玩任何会发出音乐的玩具。我也很爱阅读，我每一天起来就一定会看啊玲阿姨送给我的动物书，我最爱的动物是熊猫，鳄鱼，狗，蜘蛛，（都是一些恐怖的动物）。睡觉前妈妈有时也会让我看故事书。现在我也很喜欢玩文具，我开始学会捉笔涂鸦了。

说话方面， 只会说... ba... ma... air-con... elmo... bye... car... coco... Mmm... kay... um... mum... yee... ya... eh... dear...

好了，大概就是这样吧！再见！

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.
