  • 16 Months

    Dear Kristen,

    Sorry for the lack of updates. Mummy has been busy trying to prepare in time for the 'special time' next week!

    You're a whole 16 months now! A couple of weeks before you turned 16 months, we brought you to Dr. Sim at Elias Mall to get your MMR jab. You took it very well and did not shed a tear. Very good girl! I think Grandma and Mummy were more frightened than you. Only problem was, you developed a fever a few days later that lasted quite a bit. But thankfully the fever wore off. I hate it when you are sick, it becomes very worrying and you tend to wake up more during the nights.

    You're showing more affection these days. Like hugging us impromptu, and just today, when I got home late, you were so happy to see me you hugged me. The funny thing about how you hug is that you would grab my whole head, squeeze it tight, then pat my head. Haha..

    We bought you a toy dog recently. It barks and is able to walk forward. You did something reeeally strange. After the initial doubt about the dog, you walked over to the dog and tried to sit on the dog! Who has been teaching you to sit on Rex??? Poor tiny toy dog. Then worse still, you tried to use your leg to pat the dog. *faints*. Mummy and Daddy are now trying our best to teach you to use your hand to pat the dog.... and NOT sit on dogs. Funny thing is, Mummy was telling Daddy that big dogs like Rex was okay, but Daddy scolded Mummy... He said you're too heavy!

    Which... is true. You're a nice healthy 11 kg now. Mummy gets tired carrying you with one hand now. Daddy says Mummy is weak.

    You're able to sing the endings of songs... Like when we sing "Twinkle twinkle little..." You'll say STAR! And when we sing "O'Macdonald's had a farm, E-I-E-I..." you'll say OH!... And "Heads and shoulders, knees and..." You'll say TOES! .... Haha... It's all very cute.

    Here's a funny video of you...

    Lotsa Love,
    Mummy
