18 months : Genting-Raya getaway and sick!

Daddy wanted to go Cameron Highlands for the long weekend but Mommy was lazy and suggested only Genting, which is so much nearer.
We ended up staying at ChinSwee temple, double bed room. Okla, not bad for that price. (RM110 for peak season and RM50 for off-peak).

Before that, Daddy thought it would be nice to bring Chloe to Bkt Tinggi and she could play with the rabbits, and I the mommy actually have been thinking and picture in my mind that Chloe would be running around the garden chasing after the rabbits. BUT, we were both WRONG!!!
Chloe is afraid of them!!!!! She cling to us all the time and does not want to get down the ground. :(

So to Genting we went and it was then Chloe got sick more after the walk at 1st World. Well, we know she is already have swollen tonsils (again) and would expect fever to strike. So the day before, I brought her to Dr Cheng and prepared all the medicines and not forgetting the very helpful ones which is inserted in the anus to reduce fever. (forgot the name). Daddy is not keen to give that, but i had to convince him for it. Otherwise I will have sleepless nite. Chloe was cranky also, as usual she was all stuck to the bed, refuse to eat and restless. With the cold weather I don't know it actually help or worse. :P But anyway, this round, it was MUCH better than the Aug fever she had. :)

When we return on Saturday, she has recovered much better. :)

And yes, since then, I don't know for some reason her appetite returns and she is taking her usual meals again - the PORRIDGE!!!!
hahaha, yes, when she was 17.5months she refuses Auntie's porridge and auntie had to cook various to suit her. And now during the sick period, auntie return to porridge like anyone would and she took and from then on, she's on porridge again.
I don't know if I should be happy that the fact she is taking her meals back, but it is now again, the porridge.

I prefer her to start taking rice - soft rice. Otherwise she will be soon too lazy to chew on rice.
I already started to notice that. If i give her our normal rice, she will have just a few spoonful, chew for a long time, food stay in the mouth for a long time. If porridge, she just swallow!!!!
I do make her soft rice, quite the same, just a few spoonful. :(

18.5months : Likes the swing

I was surprised that Chloe likes the swing. She actually wanted it herself. Sit on the swing herself.

I still remember months back when she was younger, she didn't cry when we sit on swing with her, but would actually shiver a little when we swing her up and down. :P

Brushing teeth Video - taken at 17-18month

Very proud of this sweet Darling who actually stand still for me to brush her teeth.
She would actually put down her bathroom toys (cup/duckie) on the floor too before i brush her teeth. :)

But, how to rinse ? I'm still teaching her, but she cannot understand how i put in water into my mouth and spit them out..... :)

She's growing up!

I noticed changes to my little darling angel. She is growing!!!


Well guess what, I don't know if she slims down or she actually grew taller. She looks taller now, so some said she slims down because she got taller. But I felt the other way, she slims down because she didn't eat much of carbo lately and she looks taller now because she slims down. hahaha......

Her choices of food nowadays :
1) Raisins!!!!! Bread with raisins will 'tricked' her to munch on the bread as well. :)
2) A little soft rice
3) Dry noodle - stir fry or mix with oyster sauce.
4) Pork/chicken that is TASTEFULLY cooked
5) Broccoli/Spinach where i need to hide them in between foods
6) Scramble egg which is TASTEFULLY cooked. and i cannot mention egg while feeding her. ;P

I am thinking now to add in cereal to her night milk. But I have concerns with the bottle/teats opening. She's currently using Avent's 6months largest hole. Do I need to get a X shape for the cereal ?

At this 19month, I sense she is trying to TALK. Yes, TALK!
Now she is still blabbing her own language, but occasionally she has some understandable words in it. :) not many, but at least now she says MORE MORE when she does her sign language for more.

We asked her to say Ah Mah, Mimi, Dada, Yiyi last nite and she did. :)
She also has her own language where she says ChiBiChiBiChiBi, CCCCC, NouNouNouNou..... ahaha.....

She hops a lot this day. She started off hoping watching Barney at about 14mths but the hop never leave the ground. haha. Now, she can hope from spot to spot, maybe 1ft distance. :)




Oh yes, she does a lot of dancing too. Funnie dancing and we have good time watching her doing it. :)
That's when she listen to
1) Dibo - the gift Dragon theme song : her act - two hands up moving up and downwards and shake her body a little. Sometimes it ended up bending her body sideways too!
2) Mickey mouse clubhouse theme song : her act - byebye action from the hands - swinging left to right, hop, jump and two hands patting her backside. :P

All this is hard to be video-ed. I hope to find chance for this. :)

19months - PICKY eater!

While entering 19th months, Chloe's taste bud switch 180degree. She dislike her porridge/rice and a lot of others that she used to take. Not just this, she is also not taking a lot of new food. Preference are accordingly to her mood. Gosh. And all the while, I have been thinking I'm lucky as she eats a lot and hasn't been picky - not even to a plain porrigde. But now, I'm totally wrong. Even meat cooked tastefully, she spit it out!

So, guess what, I miss her big tummy and her rounded cheek! :(
I wonder if her weight drops now as she is not taking full meals at lunch/dinner but just a spoon or two of some rice/noddle. Even one spoon also considered i'm lucky.
