mon cherie is 22 months old





being silly at 22 months old... and enjoying every minute of it!

some of her milestones at 22 months:

physical/cognitive
*turning in circles (clockwise & anti-clockwise), walking backwards, brisk walking (her attempt at running...)
*recognizes major shapes (completes her shape sorter of 6 majors shapes) and able to point to the correct shape (including zigzag, wave, trapezium) when prompted.
*recognizes colors - red, blue, green, yellow, purple, black, white, green and still learning to name them correctly
*understands and able to follow some simple instruction - give/take *item, bring/throw *item into basket/bin, open/close *door/etc., give hugs/kisses/flying kiss/wave bye to *someone, hold/press/cut *something
*will repeat simple requests like : i want ... please. (we try to stop her from just making whining noises when she wants something)
*draws/doddles/stamps on her doodle board with both left & right hands and able to feed herself using her spoon/fork with either hand.
*tries to put on the safety buckle on her high chair, attempt to put on her socks or pants or shoes by herself
*making request for food, going out (kai kai), activities such as play & read and making choices on the type of food/activities she wants.
*able to identify & name family members (actual person and based on pictures on her flashcards) in mandarin correctly (grandpa, grandma, father, mother, elder brother/sister, younger brother/sister, uncle & aunt)
*show keen interest in watching korean drama & enjoy dancing to the theme song! :D
*expanded vocabulary (we have lost count and some words still need more prompting due to her pronounciation) and able to repeat a few 4 syllabus word correctly.

Emotions/Social
*continue to whines her way to attention and still cries when she goes CC in the morning (depends on her mood that morning and the teacher greeting her at the entrance
*getting more garang with her screams and even tries to beat the other party to show her displeasure or irritation
*will verbally interact with others (in her own language) and expecting replies or further 'conversation'
*occasionally willing to let others join in her activities (playing of toys/flashcards/etc)
*had tested mommy/daddy's patience several times and know when to STOP (her nonsense)before she gets spanked!

the only thing that has not progress for the past couple of months is her teeth - currently still stagnant at 12! :)
