16 Months Update

Kaitlyn turned 16 months yesterday and I almost lost count.

She's 8.9kg again now, finally gained all the weight back from being sick last month. I hope she keeps gaining weight, my skinny little girl.

She has 7 teeth now and last week, she started brushing her own teeth. And I am proud to say she's doing it quite well.

She talks a lot. She sings and dances even better now :)

She really started the whole "fake cry" thing now. :( She has my dad wrapped around her little fingers. Every time she does a fake cry, my dad runs to her "rescue" and yells at everyone else. She has a tell-tale sign when she does the fake cry, she fans her face as if she was hot. LOL Another little gripe that I have is that she likes to point and go "eh..eh... eh" instead of saying what she wants. She could, she just sometimes chooses not to.

She says "please" (more like 'peez') and "thank you" (in Chinese). :D

She walks up and down the stairs with very little assistance. I think it's time for baby gates.

She's such an independent little girl. If she's trying to get something done, even if she's struggling, she won't let us help. If we asked her if we could help her, she just keeps shaking her head. She fiddles and fiddles with it till she gets it. Then she claps and says "yay"! Absolutely adorable.

She has a place for all her toys. The soft toys/dolls go in one basket. The blocks/puzzles go into another, and the miscellaneous bits into another, and her books goes into a box. She sorts them and puts them away before she goes out or goes to bed!

She also started to "draw" with crayons, and to stack her blocks. She made it to a stack of 5 once, without them falling over.

She LOVES animals and animal sounds. She thinks everything except a sheep, goes "woof woof". When a sheep appears though, she goes "BAAAAH" VERY loudly. :D

Oh, and as a family event, we all watch Funniest Home Video Show. She loves that show, she just snuggles up to me and watches it.

She walks around and does her own things most of the time, and occassionally, she will look around for us, then comes to us, asking for a hug, kiss or cuddle. :) She's so adorable when she's cuddling up...
