It’s very hard to snap her smile lately. When she sees the camera, she will either look away, or just stunned. Ha! The last pic was very blur, but it’s the first smiley photo I’ve taken of her after trying for a week. Don’t tell me she’s camera shy? Or maybe she is still young to pose in front of the camera.

She has begun to sign a few baby sign language with me, but she doesn’t talk yet. MIL and my mum were wondering if she’s has tongue because she doesn’t talk. HA! But I’m not worry yet, maybe she’s still not ready. From her signing and her pointing, I noticed that she understands what we are talking to her. She can also follow simple instruction like throwing her clothes in the laundry basket, clean up her toys (but only a few pieces), wipe her mouth and etc. But she will get frustrated sometimes if we do not know what she’s trying to say, and she will sit down and cry.

She snacks a lot, but didn’t gain much weight. Most of Justin’s hand down clothes which he couldn’t wear before 1 year old can still fit Isabelle very well. Some are still too big for her. She’s definitely smaller build comparing to koh koh, and it’s good too, as I won’t have sore arms that easily carrying her around.

Meal time is a mess. She refuses to be fed sometimes, and wants to eat like us, with her own bowl and spoon. But most of the she will feed with her hands. Luckily I have a maid who will clean up the mess while I change her up. If not, I will be insane cleaning up so often. LOL!

Her concentration span is quite short. When she is at Kindermusik class, she prefers to walk around than participating if Justin is not with her. When we are reading together, she prefers to nurse than looking at the book. It’s so amusing as she’s totally different from Justin. I wonder what approach should I take in bring her up?

She knows Justin adores her, and she begins to bully koh koh. When she’s angry, she will bite him or hit him with a toy. So, I have to ask Justin to watch out and run away if she’s hitting him. I’m still trying to lecture her, see when will she stop this act.

She loves gai gai a lot, if she sees us all dress up, she will cling on to hubby or me and won’t let go. I told hubby, maybe she has my shopping DNA, and he said “Better not!”
