I am 14 months old!

The past month has been an exciting time. I'm really enjoying every wee bit of this first golden year before charis hits "terrible two".

Major achievements:

1. Finally finally finally finally finally she has TWO TEETH! hahaha ~~~ This is certainly the most major of all major achievements! After much prayer by all in the family, the tooth fairy decides to visit! We spot a glimpse of two pearly whites sprouting from the bottom. Very thankful to God that baby did not experience much discomfort. May more and more teeth come soon! ~~

2. She could walk much better now on her own. I won't say she is totally independent, but she now likes to move about as if her soles are itchy. She has graduated from walking in a straight line to turning around in circles.

3. Finger pointing. Oooh she's becoming an expert at this. Ask her where is papa? She points. Mama? She points. Door? Points. Piano? Points. Apple? Points. Orange? Points. Car? Points ....... The embarassing part is, she does all with her middle finger!??

I find that children at this age has an enormous capacity for learning. Tell them a word a couple of times, they can remember it and point to that object the next time you say it. So we become very careful now to speak proper english because the baby will imitate everything and anything! It's true that children makes us better persons!

Our wish now is that baby can say GONG XI and HONG BAO in time for CNY! LOL ~~~~

Haircut

Mama my hair is too long!! I have no more eyebrows!

Director's cut ... looks pro right? Woahaha ~~

Final touches .. thanks to the pear!

Oooh all the hair is on my face!

Mama are we done? Heee ...

Ta-da! Presenting the supermodel with the zig-zag hair! YAY!

It would be interesting to understand how baby hair grows.

Charis' fringe grows very quickly and becomes a nuisance as they poke into her eyes, while the rest of the head especially the ends behind hardly grew an inch over the year!?

I almost wished her hair would grow longer if i pulled them each day. The thought of my cutey little princess having long hair donning a pinky pom-pom dress makes me drool with anticipation. When, just when will that day ever come??

Well, dreams aside ^_^ We gotta fix what's bothering her right now. I can't bear to part with $5 (maybe $10 huh?) just to let the neighbourhood auntie shred a few strands. That would work out to be more expensive than MY haircut!

So today is the day, where the mom also becomes the hair stylist, in addition to her washer, cooker, sleep patter etc role. I've always cut my own fringe and gotten compliments, so why not my baby's? Hee hee ...

It wasn't as easy as i had imagined. Baby twisted and turned and my scissors hardly stayed at the same spot for more than a second. Finally we got her attention on a pear and that gave me just a wee bit more time to tidy up the mess.

Oki, you tell me how she looks now :)

Cutey Bear

Was at daiso and found this cute pair of beary ears!! Couldn't resist getting it for baby even though her hair is too thin to keep them on! Any kid would look hilarious in this setting! :)
