She's 11 months old

"Aiyaks...mama caught on camera !"

That's our girl at 11 months old. She's very cheeky now and play time with her is so much fun! She shows her excited by opening her mouth wide with a big smile. It melts our heart whenever she does that. Her new words would be "Oh ho...." whenever she drops a toy, she had a fall or when we suddenly turn of the TV. She calls out for "mum mum" repetitively whenever she is hungry and she would say "Meow" whenever she sees a cat in her favourite picture book.

 "meowwwwwww"

She could recognise the clock and cabinet so whenever we ask "Where's the clock or Where's the cabinet?" she would turn her head looking at the clock or cabinet. Other items would be the television, the computer or the window. When her mood is good, she would point at it. That's the activity daddy does with her whenever she's cranky waiting for her final feed at night before her bedtime. That few minutes would be just nice for me to count 1...2....3.... scopes...4....5.. 6 DONE!

She's still crazy over stars and she can listen to that Twinkle Twinkle little star song over and over again in the car and also from her Baby Galileo VCD at home.Guess I'll be able to sing  the song in a reverse order soon :p

She's still at the stage of wanting to have a taste of everything under the sun. Papers, plastic bags, toys, dust..just to name a few. Oh guess she just swallowed a tiny piece of paper napkin at the cafe recently. I tried to dig it out from her mouth but its gone! Oh well.... hehe

As for her appetite, she prefers solid over milk. Her appetite for a 7oz feed per session has dropped to 4-5oz now. She prefers warm meaty meals and vegetables. Thus far, she'd tried quite a variety of vegetables and fruits. Apart from that, she is quite familiar with the taste of herbs in her meals namely oregano, cinnamon, thymes and rosemary. She is also quite used to having garlic with her fish porridge and also small onions in her baby pasta. She snacks on Cheerios, teething biscuits and rusk. I'll be introducing cheese sticks to her this month as finger food. The fruits which I've been avoiding until she reaches the age of 1 would be oranges, strawberries and pineapple.

"Mama's not watching...I shall open up the container and throw all the contents out of the box!Muahahahha"

Baby Janice is getting more and more curious and active these days. She don't like to sit in her walker anymore because she prefers cruising and walking (with support) from one furniture to the other. Hiding under the table and trying to climb on boxes and stools. She would lie flat on the floor or sitting still for a long time exploring the wheels on her push car or the walker. She would find ways to open a box or exploring our fax machine. I'm wondering how long will I be able to sustain the lifespan of my fax machine. I'm also wondering if we're going to have another engineer in the house in the future... Mmm..?!?

She knows that I'll whack her palm whenever she misbehave by touching things she shouldn't touch. Now whenever I saw "NO", instead of me whacking her palm, she whack me first and mimic my angry face! 0.o. So now I've to say "NO NO" and followed by "Cannot beat mummy ar!!..." Rolled eyes.....

*Oh Lord I need more wisdom to bring up this child leh!*

That's our little baby girl at 11 months old, a toddler by end of this month.
