long overdue update

Ok peeps, I know I haven't update for a while.... ok..ok... very LONGGGG while :) Been busy with the 2 rascals (yupz, little Han included) & on my online biz. So how come I'm so free to update now? Well, well... cos I'm at work & I've been here since this morning 10.30am but it is 4pm already & have yet to get my 1st job brief.... kaoz... think gonna work late today liao.

Let see... hmmm... Han is 16mth exactly TODAY 3rd Dec hahaha..... time flies. Her progress:

Motor skills:
- Can walk without support, abit unstable
- Can point to whatever she wants
- Can point to the person when ask (immediate family)
- Can climb anywhere & everywhere
- Just learned to shake her head left right 2days ago
- Can kiss (with her lips parted hahaha)
- Can do flying kiss
- Can wave bye bye
- Can squat to pick up objects
- Can pick up objects using pincer grip
- Can flip pages using thumb & pointer
- Can remove her own shoes (she can do this when she's abt 12m old, I was amazed)
- Can zip & unzip small pouch
- Can open all kinds (well, almost) of containers or caps

Language skills:
- Can say ye ye, nai nai since dunno when liao, makes my ILs very happy indeed :)
- Then it is mum mum (currently her fav & most spoken word), chair, ball, car, xie (thanks), seat
- Next came dada (that's daddy for short)
- Just few days ago ma (mummy for short) & po (maternal granny)
- Still waiting for her to say ge ge (Farn will be obsolutely thrilled if she can say that, he's already complaining that Han is leaving him out of her vacab hahahaha...)

Others:
- Basically she's a very happy, cheerful bb, very smiley most of the time. Likes to follow Farn around & copy whatever he does. And she learns very fast. Just by looking at how things are done 1 or 2 times, she can do it independently. She can open drawer, stack Jugga bricks, stack Lego, retrieve things from under furniture using her foot or retriever (can be badminton racket or clothes hanger), able to throw a ball (Farn can't do this till pretty much later), open her water bottle. She learns to do all these simply by observing how we do it or we showed her 1 or 2 times. BUT I can't say the same thing about her language skills.... I think she prefers to get things done herself then to ask for help from adult so she's not very keen in communicating.

- She's a FOODIE hahaha.... basically everything edible will end up in her tummy. We call her the rubbish bin but Farn said she's a dumster truck hahahaha..... I still remember that day, the TV was having this cooking programme on. This little tumjiak gal walk right up to the front of the TV screen, pt to the food & said "mum mum... ah ah..." I almost died laughing lor. Another of her antics.... when she sees any food pics on magazines, she'll pt to it said "mum mum" then put her face to the pg!! We walked pass foodcourt, kopitiam etc, she also say "mum mum". The other day, dh brought home a bag of Mcdonald. He left the burger & fries, still wrapped up in the doggy bag in the plastic bag, on the table. Han saw the bag, walked up & said "mum mum" Faintzzz lor, she can tell it is food even without looking at the things inside. Hey, but all u aunties no need to worry... she's still very nicely shaped, no extra fat considering all the food that she had gobbled down.

- Oh, I discover 1 BIG difference between girls & boys. Girls are born to be vain, naturally hahahaha..... Han can't wait to try new clothes. She'll wriggle a bit, try to run away a bit but I consider her cooperative. She'll stay still when I put on hairclip for her, stick her feet up when I put on her socks. For Farn, I'll have to resort to threats or scolding whenever I have put on new clothes for him, especially those with buttons, collars or zips. He only likes to wear T-shirts & pants with elastic waistband.

Xianz... still waiting for job to come in. Heard that the creatives was thrown out & they have to rethink concepts again. They are doing a pitch, presentation on Thurs. Guess I'll be pitching tent here for the next 2 days :(
