Xuan and Papa So chase each other round the baby cot for at least 5 full minutes :) When you are that tiny I guess the house is like a big maze and obstace course with all the furniture lying around.
I am constantly amazed at how little actions can amuse her for so long. To hear her laugh again and again, I am also amazed at how patient I have grown to be, playing peekaboo for, like, 20 times at a go without feeling stupid :)
Xuan shows interest in feeding herself! :) So one fine day, after psyching myself up, I gave her the spoon. The first feeding session wasn't so bad, she just kept dipping the spoon into her bowl and feeding it to me. I have to pretend to eat off the spoon though she didn't scoop anything up. Watching her feed herself makes me very nervous. Most books just say "if you cannot bear to watch the mess, just turn around". Yah I have to do that cos otherwise I just freak out.
Instead of us playing peek-a-boo with her all the time, she has learnt how to play it with us! :):)
Xuan has suddenly taken a liking to wearing shoes and socks. Maybe she knows it means we are going out, or maybe she just like wearing something over her feet. The cute thing is how she lifts her foot up as high as possible so that we can put on the shoe/sock for her :) Think all the “这只手……那只手”“这只脚……那只脚”that I say when we put on clothing for her helps to learn.
I was happy to see her climbing down the sofa cos I know she'll be careful and more importantly, safe, and I don't have to scream everytime she tries to get down from somewhere high. Actually she has already fallen from our bed twice when she was younger. Ever since then she'd stop at the edge and cry for us if she wants to get down. Good that she learns from "setbacks"!
My little girl likes walking :) and wierdly, with her hands behind her back. Makes her look as though she's inspecting something! :):) This video is taken outside her infant care.
