Phoebe Turned One

It's been long awaited for Phoebe to turn ONE. It had finally arrived and we celebrated with some friends last Saturday. Will post up some photos of the event later. I was so busy entertaining and didn't capture many photos. Waiting for some friends to give me their shots. Some updates of her.. Phoebe can now walk with assistance. She is able, but still do not want to hold her own milk bottle. She's just relaxing herself in her bouncy net or bed when she drinks her milk. Turns, rolls, crawls like a worm. In terms of Language, she can speak a few words pretty consistently .

• Na-na - banana. Whenever she sees them at the table at home, at the supermarket, along the roadside, she will say 'Na-Na'.
• Nen-nen - milk
• Mum mum - when she wants to eat
• Ma-ma - not very consistent. I think she does not know that refers to me
• Pa-pa - very infrequent
• Ta-ta - sometimes she will blurt out when one wants to leave
• Tatak/katak - for 'kakak' our maid

Understands the terms we talked to her. Here are some of them. Can't remember what she knows.

• The names of at least 10 of her soft toys.
• Books
• Bottle
• Nen-nen time
• Ebony - our dog
• Walk
• Sayang
• Shoe
• Fan
• Lights
• Frog
• Fish
• Clock
  

She's very chatty at home now but we still can't make out what she's trying to say. I know I'll have a hard time answering all her questions when she knows how to talk. Here are some photos taken by my co-workers at our home few weeks back. Thank you Susan & Sharon. They are just beautiful!!
