I think I saw her feet off the ground when she was jumping and dancing the other day. But it happened really fast and I couldn't get her to do it again. I think it's a major development if she can do that!
No new vocab though. It's still the same ol' "bye bye", "no more" and stuff like that. She's repeating more of the words we said. Oh yah, she can recognize and said "bird" when she sees one. Though it sounded more like "ber". And bread is "包".
Nowadays, when she wants water or milk, she will lead us to the kitchen area where the stuff are, and point to it, indicating what she wants. She even know where the biscuits are.
And boy, her temper is getting fiery! Her screams get louder when she doesn't get what she wants, or if I take away something dangerous which she is playing with. She knows that when she cries, her demands will be met but that doesn't happen with Bob and me. If she starts crying, we will refuse to give her anything she wants. Only if she behaves, then we will "reward" her, sort of. Still teaching her though, she still cries when she wants that sweet or that toy. I hope she can learn that she can get things by not crying, or rather, by behaving well.
The other day, she did this really funny thing. She was holding one of her alphabet wood block under her chin and walked over to the sofa to placed it down. Sort of like transporting the blocks from the floor to the sofa. She did that for quite a while. I gave her a piece of banana which she was playing and to my amusement, she did the same too! She held the banana under her chin, so that she can use both her hands to hold the blocks. It was so funny! I wish I had the camera with me. Sometimes, kids do the darnest thing.
I think she's starting to get into a conversation with us. She will look at us and start talking gibberish, in a straight face, as though she's talking to us in terms we understand. At times like this, Bob and I will just reply her as though we really understand her. I was hoping this might encourage her to talk more and eventually talk in proper language.
She has learnt to keep her toys when we asked her to, which is quite surprising to me, I didn't expect her to do it when I casually asked the other day. Then on, she will do it everytime I asked.
And now, finally, she understand most of what I said to her. The other day, she was throwing the worse tantrum and after she was in her good mood again, I asked her if she wanted water, she nod her head. Then I said I'm going out of the room to get her water and she is to sit on the bed and wait for me, and she nodded. Then I said she won't cry right? Cos Mummy will be back soon, and she shake her head, indicating that she won't cry. And truly, I left the room and came back to find her sitting at the same spot when I left her. From then on, I realised that she can indicate accurately what she wants, by nodding and shaking her head to what I asked.
She knows how to "squat down" when we asked. And "退后" when she's too near the TV.
The only frustrating thing is, she doesn't respond when we call her name. She knows her name, but she always refuse to respond. And I wonder why. Hmmz.
