Milestones
She can recognize a lot more letters now. She can also count 1-10.
Can identify blue, pink, orange, purple. She seems to be a bit mixed up with red, green and yellow.
She is walking up and down the stairs but I always make sure one of us is holding her hand.
Fall Down
One afternoon I put her down to sleep and as usual she started to cry but she also stood up and held on the railings. I just left her and closed the door. Few seconds later I heard a loud thud and I found her face down on the floor. She actually tried to climb out of her cot! She was a bit shaken up but I got her back into bed and she was fine. After that she never stood up again. I also kept telling her she would fall and it would be 'pain' and she seemed to understand that.
Sleeping
Towards the end of the month things got better...no more crying. Not sure what changed. I tried all sorts of things. Lastly I started talking through the monitor. I would tell her not to cry and it was time to sleep. That seemed to stop her crying and talking. After a few days of that, she seemed to stop crying altogether. Maybe it was just a phase (lasted quite long though).
Potty training
Very good progress. Sometimes she wakes up dry from her nap and will pee before we go to fetch Meera but usually she will pee in her diaper when she is sleeping. If we are out of the house for a long time she will pee in her diaper but she seems to be able to hold till we get home.
She is also pooping in the toilet quite consistently but she can't seem to differentiate between pee and poo when she tells me its always 'pee'. But after she poops she will always ask for a chocolate (I let her have a mini choc chip - from my baking supply).
Eating
Nothing much to report. She used to eat dates with the skin but lately she will try to spit out the skin. She also tried to do this when she eats corn or anything else with 'skin'.
She has quite a sweet tooth....managed to finish a whole slice (quite a generous portion) of her birthday cake! But she also loves eating fruits. (durian included)
Schedule:
7-8 am : Wake up (depending on how tired she is)
8:00am: Milk - 3.5 oz. (in a straw cup. If she wakes up late she drinks it in the car. Otherwise it's in front of the TV)
8:45 am: Breakfast - usually 3 oz milk with Weet-Bix and fruit
12:30pm: Lunch
1:45 pm: Milk - 3.5 oz
2:30 pm: Nap (2-2.5 hours.)If she gets up early I give her a snack...fruit and yogurt
5:00 pm: Fetch Meera
5:45 pm: Dinner
7:30pm: Bath
7:45pm: Milk -3.5 oz
8:15pm: Bedtime
Playgroup
I recently started taking her to a Playgroup in Puchong. The first time she was quite clingy especially during song time but we have done classes so far and she is starting to get used to the people and routine of it all. She can even tell me 'Playgroup' when I put her in the car.
Tooth issues
Recently I noticed she had a bit of discolouration on the inside part of her bottom front tooth. Tried cleaning it (toothbrush and floss picks) but didn't help. Finally took her to the dentist and confirmed it was plaque. The doctor said I could have it removed but it was fine to leave it for now and just monitor. Guess I wasn't brushing her teeth well enough. :(
Birthday
We celebrated her birthday during the weekend with just the family...a small affair. She was quite excited with her cake...even blew out her own candle and cut the cake (with some assistance).
Prior to this we noticed she got quite upset when everyone would sing Happy Birthday but we practiced a bit with Jing's birthday and I think she got used to it.
