Meera has changed so much! I'm pretty sure moving to Melbourne has a lot to do with that. Yesterday she said her first word....hi! Before this she does imitate certain sounds we make but nothing which I would classify as a proper word. But yesterday she said hi a number of times and occasionally along with a little wave. I made sure I recorded it and if I ever figure it out I'll try to post it online (don't hold your breath though).
As far as physical growth, I can't really say much. She looks about the same. Clothes still fit (So I'm guessing no major growth spurt). I spotted another tooth coming through...bottom right side. So this will be the 7th tooth so far. Compared to Aussie babies she's rather small sized!
Can see that she understands so much more nowadays. Signing has taken a back seat to all the things that's been going on. So pretty much the same stuff. She can sign cold (when we prompt her) but don't think she really gets what it means. But I can see that she really knows how to use her signs to get what she wants. Things like milk, cookie, down (when she wants to get off her chair) and finish (when she's done eating). Need to expand on this over the next few months.
Her daily schedule is quite variable right now. But generally speaking:
8.00 am : Wake up (earlier if it get's bright early - the blinds don't block out the sun)
8.15 am : Milk (7 oz.)
9.00 am : Breakfast
11.00 am: Light Lunch (she usually eats more when we go out for lunch)
12-1 pm: Jing's Lunch time so we go out with him
2.00 pm: Back home, milk than nap for about 2 hours
5.oo pm: Bath (it's quite cold here so only once a day)
6.00 pm: Dinner (again quite a light one since she'll eat a bit with us)
9.30 pm : Milk then bed
The schedule has changed quite a bit since our move here. Fortunately she seems to have adapted quite well. I used to keep quite a detailed record (or log) of her daily schedule (wake times, milk consumption, what she ate etc...) but not anymore. From here on it's all by memory (so it may be slightly inaccurate).
We only received our first shipment yesterday so for the past 2 weeks she's been eating a lot of jarred food and shop bought stuff. She managed quite well. I try to make sure she gets a lot of fruits (she loves kiwi and strawberries) but overall there's been a lot of chips (along with salt and oil) in her recent diet. Today was the first day I made porridge (just rice and carrot). I was afraid she wouldn't eat it since it's quite bland (no salt/ flavouring/ oil) but it seemed as if she couldn't get enough of it (kept asking for 'more' - another sign that she's mastered).
This is the first time I don't have a photo of her on the 26th (but 25 is close enough). Once again I blame it on the move! ;)
