16m 2w update

doing fairly well lately, and we are always out to the park and mall. she seems to enjoy a lot and makes some friends.

eat: eat almost anything from the table with us, sometimes even hot and spicy food. took some blueberries the other day.

sleep: napping time is still rather flexible. if we stay at home, she asks for nap b4 lunch. but if we are out, she will nap after lunch. napping b4 dinner is rather rare nowadays. her night time routine is very well maintained now and goes to sleep around 8.30pm. wakes up around 12 to 1am for milk, then sleep back without problem. sometimes still wakes up around 3 to 4am but no more milk for her. wakes up around 6am then nurse again.

runs better now, but still quite clumsy. climb anything she wishes to. better balancing and control. could and would climb high up to slide down, and likes to do it again and again. slide down on her tummy while i grap her hand to slow her from sliding too fast.

could handle puzzles better, but still have no patience to finish it by herself.

finally figure out how to do block sorting and she starts to show interest on those sorting blocks.

crayons are not meant for drawing now but hiding into her carseat base. enjoy sticking masking tape onto wall, chair and herself.

dance and "sing" all the time at home but rather quiet in the library during story time. but happy in the mall's playarea.

latest hobby is to put crayons into any holes she could find on the "busy zoo". then she would ask me to remove the zoo, so that she could collect the dropped crayons and start putting them into the zoo again.

show great interest on colours now. sometimes she would point to an object and ask me to tell the colour. i still need to teach her "grey" and "silver". she start to relate colours with objects, like she knows how to differentiate who has black hair and whose hair is yellow. some goes with shirts, pants, socks.

she likes to find wheels when she is outside. whenever she sees one on any vehicle, she would sign for wheel rolling and expect me to sing "the wheel on the bus".

reading the book "blue hat, green hat" and she laughs out loud whenever  i read "Oops" from the book. from the book, she starts to realize pants are not meant to be put on her arms.

teaching her the concept of "inside, outside", "left, right".
