Shone @ 19 months

Learning how to wear his own pants!

KY milestone at 3 years 2 months old

Hi folks,

It's been quite a LONNGGG time since I update milestone for KY. Cannot image my little baby has grown up so much!! Soon I guess we can share same clothing haha just like how I used to share my mom's shirts..haha..

My little girl has been such a great helper and sister to her bro,Shone.

But mommy been neglecting and scolding her too much. Felt really bad.

She's been this sweet, curious and rebel at this age. This makes her dad

real angry at her sometimes. Though it is widely known that somehow dad

adores their daughter as some people believe daughter is the father's girlfriend in their past life. haha...

Though she's over the terrible two stage, but she can be quite a challenge and hard to handle sometimes especially when it comes to giving in to his bro sometimes.

I must say at this age, she is full of "whys" which is good. She is very curious and would open up(dismantle) toys, gadgets, whatever that falls into her hand.

Thus, I always warned DH not to let her got hold of any of hi expensive gadgets. Am trying to reduce the times she gets punished and reprimanded(unnecessarily). Actually sometimes I felt it is adults who is at fault for leaving things at their reach and not informing them enough what items shouldn't be taken or dismantle and why.

Ok now comes to KY's milestone:

1. Instead of fav. food i think it is fav titbits(KY is such a titbit junkie like DH!)

• Chocolates- Kinder Joy, Kinder Bueno
• 100 plus, yakult, vitagen, milo, isomil(her official milk powder after she weaned)
• Sweets, much to my dismay,I have NEVER offer her any until one day she was being given one by an older child and she WAS HOOKED from then on...which kids won't get hooked? Me(I am the odd one..I DON'T like sweets but I can't refuse ice-cream and chocolates), ranges from Hacks, Chup Chup to any kinds in fact!!
• Ice-cream- her frequent sharing moment with DH

2. Loves to sing and dance

3. Favourite movies/TV program - Hi 5, Barney, The Legend of Bruce Lee, Korean movie showing surgeons and doctors, Hong Kong movie showing rescue officers with helicopters(sorry cannot recall the drama title), Nemo, Madagascar, The Simpsons, Our Wedding VCD(haha, her all time fav. and always asked where is she or why she's not in there, and why her bro. is not there too)

4. Loves to help me with cooking, doing laundry.

5. Clumsy when it comes to self-feeding, she often spilt her drinks 9 out of 10 times(much to her dad's dismay and reprimand)

Honestly, I seems to have neglected her other language development as I am often busy BF the younger bro. and drop-dead tired at night after work. Talking about this...when will I reach my WAHM dream?

Anyway , Life gotta Carpe Diem! From now on, I will arrange some activities to share with her every night so that her golden learning years does not go to waste!

Do you have a toddler around the same age as KY? I love to hear what precious moments/ activities you do with your kids.

Do share with me!

Cheers!

Shone Milestone at 15 months

Dear folks,

It's been quite sometime since I last update milestone for Shone. Last update at 12 months here.

Now, at 15 months, he is still being BF. Lucky boy that he still insist to be BF at night when we are both home.

KY stopped at 12 months due to teething and the fact that my milk supply dwindled so much as I was commuting far to a new workplace plus busy getting our new house ready.

These are the little write up on Shone at 15 months as much as this mommy's failing memory can recall.

• Language - able to say words, xie xie(for thank you), nen-nen(milk), en-tie(for auntie), ern-cle(for uncle), che che(his first word), dah-dee(for daddy), mah-mee(for mommy), bao bao(high pitch for carry me,low pitch for bread), xie-zi(for shoes), kai-kai (for going out trip), ter(for water),erm....good(for yummy food incl. breastmilk),tau-liao-lor(means reach home/bbsitter's place oredi)

• Taken ubat cacing(worm medication at 15 months at govt. clinic), Weighted at 11.2kg slightly slow growth which partly due to recent attacks of diarrhea and vomitting

• Had diarrhea and vomit attacks a week before the diarrhea attack, recovers within 2 days- Sentosa Medical Ped advice no milk till he finished two bottles of Gatorade(1 oz of water mix with 6oz of Gatorade)

• Favourite songs- sing twinkle2 little start with star gestures ends with hands clapping and say hip hip hurray(with both hands high up), Incy Wincy Spider, any fast moving track which he would dance along

That's all mommy can recall now...Shall update about KY in my next post...been neglecting her a bit....really...

Milestone updates- Shone at 12 months 3 weeks

Shone seems to walking almost around the same time as his older sister, KY or slightly later...

He is now busy practising his walking skills at every given opportunity- or rather every waking moments 

and every time we allow him roaming freely out of his playpen.

He would wake up almost 5am daily at the early days when he discovered he could walk with mommy on tow..watching his every steps..

And by now, he has developed:

-Two big molar(back bottom teeth)

- Recognised and can point or speak

• star
• dog
  
• jie jie
• mommie or mie
• Dee for Daddy
• nen nen
• etc etc

- Can sing(in his baby language/sound) with action his favourite or rather mom's constant playlist

• Twinkle-twinkle Little Star - his fingers can even make the star twinkling...just have to salute him..I doubt I do this at his age.
• Incy Windy Spider - with hand moving up to represent Sun, and the little finger moving as in spider moving..cute
• Happy Birthday Song - with hands-clapping, Shone first pick up clapping on his birthday celebration (wait for my picture updates on his little party
• Finger song: Where is thumbkin, where is thumbkin" and "Lu-La-Le"

- Loves watching Mr. Bean, 100,000 Whys ("shi wan ge wei shen me" - my sis helped me to get it during her China's trip), Karaoke CD's sing along  with his sister, KY. 

I can see that Shone really loves singing, dancing and music...

Like KY, he dance before he can walk....

That's the update for now..I think pictures says it better..stay tune for some pictures update soon.

Cheers!

Language development update

Recently I find my two kids language development amazing….

And something I find it useful is STIMULATION. It is a proven act I did unknowingly (not on purpose) makes both of them (BOTH) pick up the same word- “STAR” before one year old.

What kind of stimulation I meant? While both of them is still a newborn, I am fond of having a minor wall décor, i.e. sticking those luminous plastic sticker-like stars and galaxy (erm forgot the brand or the actual term but I am sure many of you get what I meant..if you do not know…pls. leave your comment as I can’t find any pictures of it yet :P my apology). So each time I turned off the lights, I would bring them near the wall and tell them that object is STAR….and very fast they will repeat back to you …”STAR…..”

In fact, “STAR” is the first word for KY instead of nen-nen, or mam-mam.

So, allow me to jot down the language development for my two kids for their future reading haha..(if my blog still exist then..and I guess that’s what online journal for isn’t it?)

	KY	Shone
First Word milestone	@ 4-5 months’ old - Star	@ 4-5 months’ old  – “che che” as in sister
Current milestone	@ 2 yrs, 10 months Can speak in clear full sentence..picking up language real FAST!   Lately, hear her scolding people, “STUPID”, sigh…picking up the good and bad from audios “stimulation” around her	@ 11 months -    che che (sister) -    ta ta (beat) -    star -   nen-nen -    mam-mam -  bao bao (carry me)  - bao bao(lower tone- bread)
Special	Her first song sang at one year old is “Negaraku”. I even recorded in video when she sang it once..haha	Likes to sing along and follow my gestures on the song- Incy Wincy Spider

 

 Cheers!
