Misha: 22 months

Talking
Teaching her how to say her ABCs and 123s. She has started to say a few 2 word sentences. 'Sit chair' is a favourite cos she like me to sit with her when she plays.

Milestones
She can recognize a few alphabets: A, B, C. I think cos she likes to watch the Starfall site.

Cleaning up
Getting better at this. Sometimes she will say clean up and put stuff back on her own. and just a few pieces. But if I do it with her she's a lot better at cleaning up.

Kissing
Finally..she is kissing us! Had to keep showing her how to do it till she finally got it. Initially she keeps trying to give us her cheek but now she can say 'mwah' and put her mouth to our cheek :)
She doesn't really like to do it though. Every night before going up to bed I will take her to say goodnight to Daddy and  Meera...most times she will resist kissing them. She will kiss me but only right before sleeping time.

Hugging
She loves to hug though. Sometimes she will just come up to me and hug me or when I carry her she put her arms round me and just lies there. Awww...

Health Visit and Hospital Follow-up
Had a check up at the Klinik Kesihatan this month. Weight: 9.7 kg. Height: 80cm. Tried to ask how much milk I should be giving her but they just said 'ikut kemampuan'. So vague!

Also had our follow-up at Putrajaya Hospital this month...Stats - Weight: 10 kg, Height: 80.1 cm, Head: 45.1 cm. Neutrophil count DROPPED (ANC: 1.85, Percentage is 26.8). So basically still have to monitor. Every time we go its a different doctor so this one said we still need to come for follow-up every 6 months. Feel really bad that they have to keep taking samples of her blood but better safe than sorry I guess.

Toys
Dolls are still a favorite. She also likes playing with the Mega-bloks and can fix quite a few of the single blocks on her own.
I let her try out a lacing activity and she was really good at it right from the beginning. She also spent a really long time threading the beads.

Playground
We starting going to the playground. Initially she was a bit hesitant ot sit on anything but after a few trips she got interested. She was really good with the swings!

Zizi
Most of the time she will hug Zizi to sleep as soon as I put her down to bed. During the night I can see her hugging it most of the time. I've also given her 'Russ' (a Rhino plush) and she seemed fine with the substitution.


Melacca

During this month we went for a 2 night stay to Melacca. We stayed at Swiss Garden Hotel which had a really nice pool for kids (Misha was a bit young to really enjoy it though). Initially she was terrified of the pool but slowly got used to it. We used the Kinderkot again. For some reason she could sleep in it during the night but naps were impossible. She only manage to nap while being carried by us. On the second morning she woke up and figured out how to open the zip....next thing I know she is standing next to my bedside!
Mealtimes: I brought Weet-bix for her breakfast but lunch and dinner she had whatever we ate.
