15 months update

I haven't been updating Phoebe's progress by the month. Here's a consolidated one for 15 months.

Very picky on the food she eats. She wants tasty food and a variety. Didn't like porridge at all. Started taking rice at 10 months. Now she's taking also mee suah, bee hoon, tang hoon as staple food. I had ran out of idea on what to feed her daily. Loves Japanese food, especially Chawanmushi and Ramen.

She sleeps lesser now. She can go without her morning nap and only have her afternoon nap. She measures 78cm and 10kg.

She had definitely progressed a lot in terms of her speech. Talks proper words knowing the meaning. Only 2 syllable words at the moment. I had lost count on the words she knows.

• Bao-bao
• No (she had definitely overused this word)
• Ang pow
• Fan
• Car
• Yaya (papaya & mango [maybe they are the same color, either green or yellow, or they are put on the same table])
• Ai (want)
• Nen-nen (refering to milk and referring to bottles, tubes)
• Walk-walk

• Up (wanting us to carry her onto our lap or let her see what's on the table, or let her climb up to the bed)
• Down (when she wants to get down when she says up)
