Keira is 14.5 months old...1 year and 2 months

Wow.. times flies...
Keira is now about 14.5 months old... and she has really grown! Keira started walking at about 11 months (without support), and now, she has started running...! Not easy,.. i mean for me! I will have to chase her around the house, shopping malls and everywhere! Of course, dun expect her to run as in... run like an adult, but brisk walking.. or even faster than brisk.. hehe.

Oh, it's really sweet to hear her call 'papa' and 'mama' in her sweet, cute little high pitched-tone. Sometimes, she'll look into my eyes, with her head tilted and calling 'mama'... ooohh... melt my heart immediately! It's also amazing to see how much she understands us when we are talking amongst ourselves or to her. Though she knows only a couple of words and mumbles all the time, she can take our instructions pretty well! Let me try make list of instructions that she takes pretty well:
- Lele, throw this (she'll take the used tissue, walk to dustbin, throw)
- Lele, can you please pick this up for mama, give mama (she'll look around for that particular thing she just threw on the floor, pick it up and pass to me)
- Lele, put this back (if she knows where it's usually placed, she'll put it back!)
- Lele, where is xx (xx such as Dora, Elmo, Baby, Bear Bear etc... she'll hear what we say, haha.. brisk walk to her room and come back with that item)
- Lele, drink water (she'll pick up her water bottle, open the cap and drink)
- Lele, do you want milk milk (she'll say "bu-yao" or nod her head if she wants)
- Lele, sit down (she'll find a hot spot, turn around, move her butt for the right spot and sit)
- Lele, can you turn on the TV (haha... her fav, she'll look for the remote!)
.... argh... a think there are few more, I'll update when I remember.... haha! Cute, cute....

That's all for today... it's the middle of the nite, I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. So, am catching some emails and blogging at the same time....

My blogging frequency for these couple of months have dropped drastically. Work and family commitments have taken quite a substantial part of my time. Honestly, any other time left is REST, REST and MORE REST for me. Hope things will get better...

Anyway... Take care!
