I am 9 months old!





A few milestones to capture in this month ...

First of all, i weaned baby off breastmilk (hah maybe this is MY milestone YAY!) and she starts to take soy. Found that she can and loves to eat a wide variety of food - pork, beef, chicken, fish, veg, fruits, potato, sweet potato, cheese, yogurt, egg, bread and biscuit.

Motor development, she can sit and crawl pretty well now. Goes from tummy to sitting position and vice versa. Found that she can pull herself up to standing position TODAY! Achievement reported by the maid and i have not seen it for myself as yet. Will try to take a picture soon!

Continues to clap - has almost become her signature trick that never fails to make us laugh. She has also learnt to make "orh-yi-orh" action by flapping her palms over her mouth while making a "AH" sound (this is very hilarious too). When we say 我 she can pat her chest.

Speech wise, not much difference from last month. Still very noisy and always AH AH AH. For a short period she was saying a lot of BA and MA, and even DA. But now we don't hear that often, and when she's hungry she goes MUM MUM.

Challenges we faced.... stranger anxiety seems to have kicked in, albeit a little late compared to other kids i know. People whom she used to hang around pretty well will suddenly trigger her cry of distress if they tried to carry her now. She would start looking for me or the maid. Also she hasn't cut any tooth, while i heard some of her peers already had 4 or more teeth! Haha we always laugh at her and call her "No-Teeth Girl" (invented by my maid when i call her Naugh-Ty Girl).

Think i'm going to miss this stage. Soon she'll become mobile and i'll break my back running after her and trying to catch her when she falls ... awwww my poor body ....
