My baby's first sentence

20 Months 11 Days

My baby girl said her first full sentence "Mommy, I want book" (book refers to iPhone). I'm so proud of my baby. Every since then, things that she wish to have or get, she will utter and say "I want"... *faint*. She is definitely growing and developing well. She's not even two years old yet but she can express herself very well already. Hmmm.. when she start to make more sentences that is when she will know how to demand more on the things she wants. Oh dear! :)

First trip in year 2012 - Hong Kong

Wow, it has been so long since the my last post. I've been so lazy updating this blog, but I've still been posting and updating pictures on my Facebook and Picasa album.

2011 is gone, Isabelle is now into her errrrr 17months old. Almost coming to 1 and a half years old. She has grown a lot in terms of her speech, her physical built and also her development on her motor skills. Let me just list a few that I can think of now :

Speech
-  Can count 1-10 in english and mandarin but she repeat after us
- Ask her from A to I she can name each object or animals to that letter
- Very fluent in saying "No" to things or questions that we ask
- She says bye, bear, bird, dragon, tiger, lion, babu (means elephant), fish, apple, ball, dog, cat, gorilla, house, come, poo poo, sleep, seat, drop, hold, car, walk, milk milk, nana (for banana), book (iphone/ipad), star, good nite,

Motor skills
- walk up stairs and glide down the slide
- climb on our bed and sofa in the living room
- help herself onto her tricycle
- carry a small stool around the house
- crawl underneath the dining chair
- feed herself with a spoon (although she still make a mess feeding herself)
- and many other more

There are so many things she have learned and so many things she can do or say. I'm so amaze sometimes how fast kids learns nowadays. Yesterday I was shock when i hear her saying "Mommy, come" and waving her hand. She wanted me to help push her on her tricycle so that she can move forward. Sometimes I think in my heart, I wish time will slow down a little so that we can enjoy more time with her as a toddler. I was reading the BabyCenter website and it says that at 17months old, the child should already know how to undress herself, brush her teeth without our help, and tenderly nursing her dolls and stuff animals. Hmmm, Isabelle is not really doing of those yet except sometimes hugs her soft toys. Should I start introducing brushing teeth to her already?

We have just recently came back from our trip to Hong Kong. This is Isabelle's 3rd flight. Some friends and even my mom ask, why do I want to bring Isabelle and travel along on a trip like that? Wouldn't it be too much hassle plus she's too young to appreciate or even remember anything. Oh most importantly is waste of money. To certain extend I do agree especially the 'too much hassle' part but I'll always response and say "Why not?". Is good to let her be out at the field travelling with us and get her expose to everything. I am very sure every minute she spent when she's not asleep, she is learning and her mind is absorbing knowledge. It's definitely worth all the hassle. Am sure Isabelle enjoyed her trip very much especially the day we spent at Disneyland.

Isabelle's 2nd experience flying on Air Asia flight

We made a trip to Bintulu early November, to be exact it was on the 4th - 6th November. Visited a friend who stays there and spent our weekend with them at Bintulu. There is nothing much to do in Bintulu but the weekend was still quite fun.

Isabelle had two of her first experience in Bintulu - playing in a inflatable pool and walk barefoot on the beach. It was a very good fun experience for Isabelle.

Our friend had a inflatable pool at their back yard so immediately I had suggested why not let the kids play in the pool. Isabelle loves it so much and I love watching this video that I've took for her while she's getting splash with water from Keith (Friend's son, also Leslie's godson). Belle is sooooo cute and her reaction is sooooo adorable.



Isabelle actually fell into the water and her face was literally in the water. My friend and her maid saw and actually panic. I quickly pull Isabelle up and she was laughing with joy. I believe babies naturally knows what to do when they gets into the water.

We were so worried that she will fall again so we put a float on her plus 2 arm floats. This way we are sure she won't slip and fall into the water again.






Beach at Bintulu

I did not expect that there would be a close by beach in Bintulu. We brought the kids to the beach for a walk (since we had nothing much to do anyways). This is the first time Belle gets to feel the beach sand and sea water. She tried to taste the sand twice and ofcourse we have quickly told her not to do that and wash the sand off her mouth. I guess after 2 attempts of tasting the sand she knows that they don't taste nice and she stop putting sands into her mouth. Belle walked on the beach, played with the sand, felt the sea breeze and I can tell she's enjoying it very much. Is always a good idea to let her explore new things and get close to nature especially.








Overall I would say the Bintulu trip was a good one. Thanks to our friend for such homely hospitality.

Isabelle is 1 years old

I can't believe I totally forgot to blog about Isabelle's birthday party and I just realise I didn't post anything in the whole of September. Very bad.

The party was great although I feet something was lacking at the party. We had the birthday party at a cafe called Little Pantry in IOI Mall. Daddy did some banner designs and hung on the wall at the party place.









I think Isabelle hard a good time that day. That day was the first time she's wearing shoes walking around and she actually walked up and down for in the party room for 2 hours. I really wonder where she gets all the energy and it can last for quite a few hours. Here's a photo of Isabelle with her birthday cake.


The birthday cake is from Isabelle's Godma (Sue). She bake this cake for Belle with lots of hearts and sweats :) Thanks Sue for the lovely birthday cake XOXOXO

I had a friend who helped us and took many pretty photos on that day but I totally forgotten to ask someone to help us take some videos as well. Thank god my sis took this video using her Iphone and this is the only video we have on her birthday.




A blink of eyes and now Isabelle is already 1 years old. Time flies. Many friends starting asking me when am I planning for a second one. My answer is always the same to everyone : "I don't know" :)

So now after Belle's 1 year old party, what's next? A few travelling plans for the three of us perhaps!

Isabelle is on the move

Isabelle is enjoying herself cruising around the house with her 2 little feet. She's 11 months old now and she is already walking without having to hold on to anything for assistance. Sometimes she's so eager to walk towards to reach to the next point, she look like she's running. Now, she can also easily  just squat and stand up again. How cool is that!

Bye bye Baby, Hello Toddler.

Took her first few steps without holding on to anything

She is 10 months 26days old, walking a few steps without holding on to anything for support but have a remote control on each hand. This little devil is really dare devil. She's not afraid of falling, she will just keep trying and trying until she gets what she wants.

I have been taking quite a lot of videos of Isabelle's activities in the house especially when she walks. Is really cute to look at her when she's trying to take a few steps balancing herself not falling.







I was busy in the kitchen and daddy let her crawl, walk and explore around the house.


This silly girl do have her tantrums sometimes but when she smiles at you and does funny faces and all, I just can't stand but always want to hug her tight and squeeze her.

 Nowadays she makes this funny face when we say No to her. Everytime she does that, we'll laugh at how silly she is. Even when nanny says "don't put your finger in your mouth", immediately she will do that funny weird face. I must try to snap a photo that expression and post it in my blog so that next time Isabelle can laugh at herself when she sees it :)




This is a video when the 2 babies playing together. Isabelle naughty, bullying her cousin Daniel and playing rough hehehehe.

There are more videos which I've uploaded to my youtube. Not all vidoes are shown in this blog here.
