i'm 10months old

"happy 10th month, mon cherie!"
mommy & daddy are so proud of your new milestones and loves you loads and loads!!

** milestones **
* new tastes of the month - chinese soups with herbs (she loves it!), pureed brocolli + cauliflower, variety of noodles (bee hoon, hor fun, mee sua, yee mian - all in small bits), variety of fish (threadfin, salmon, unagi), egg yolk, double-boiled winter melon & old cucumber and finally, the sinful ice-cream (master culprit - 爷爷!)
* mobility - finally trying her best to move her butt; though backwards. and learning to slide (not crawl), backwards yet again. gaining more confidence in her 'baby steps' and have ventured almost half of the coffee table on her walk-abouts. and very eager to be pulled up to stand.
* a little more willingness to hold her own bottle but towards the end, still need assistance as she's probably too tired after all the sucking and holding. still learning to coordinate her pincer grip and index pointing.
* able to wave goodbye when being asked to and do so very willingly especially the receipient is own image in the mirror :P (miss vanity)
* language developement - progressed to 'bababa...' and 'ber berrr' (bird bird) and her usual 'mama', 'mumm mumm', blabbering screams and gibberish. and likes to hum herself to sleep. likes repetitive rhythms and songs and getting more interested in pictures and objects around her.
* personality traits - learning about her own identity and seeking her independance. more expressive and gets upsets terribly if toy/etc is taken away from her possession.
* social skills - more interested in babies/toddlers/kids than adults but with certain caution. if others are more aggressive, she will back out and prefers the comforts of daddy/mommy's arms. am still unable to accept others' to carry her apart from daddy, mommy and nanny.

well... all at your own pace, mon cherie... :)
