Peanut @ 15 months

She's such a cutie. Very lovable. Quick with her smiles and cheeky grins. Her actions are charming and totally adorable.

Height:
Roughly 77-80cm
That's 50th percentile for her age

Weight:
Roughly 9.5kg
That's also around 50th percentile for her age

Speech: 
  • Besides the baby gurgles, her speech pattern resembles our speech pattern more these days. 
  • She can say "mama" and "dada" and "cheh cheh" and also..."cheese" lol. I didn't expect that one of her first words would be "cheese" but it is. Maybe her love for cheese helped haha.
  • It's been 2-3 months but she still says "shhhhhh" when you ask her to say "fish". Hahaha.

Comprehension:
  • She understands "give (someone)", "pick it up", "stand up", "sit down", "no", "milk", "mum-mum", "change diaper"......
  • She also understands "tiger", "lion", "dog", "head", "nose", "eyes", "mouth", "head"...
  • She understands her favourite foods too. Stuff like "papaya", "watermelon", "mango"...and or course "cheese". I think she understands "bread" as well.
  • She will respond with her version of a roar when you ask her "What does a tiger say?" or "What sound does a lion make?". She "barks" when you ask her what sound a dog makes...

Motor skills:
  • She can walk on her own, although she is still not too steady yet. BUT...she chooses to hold on to our hands and walk because she knows she can walk and run faster if she is holding on to us haha.
  • Her pincer grip is getting quite good. Maybe because I have been giving her small pieces of snacks for her to feed herself. :)
Food:
  • She's not a milk junkie like her older sister but she loves her yoghurt melts, cheese and biscuits as much as her older sister does lol.
  • She started out on porridge earlier than Nadya did. 
  • She hates sweet potato and pumpkin
  • She loves potato, carrots, papaya, mango and watermelon. 
  • Cheese trumps EVERYTHING. Lol.
  • She seems ok with pork, chicken and fish (though the fish needs to be fried)! Thanks goodness.

New foods for her to try soon:
  • Baby pasta....She spit it out the first time we tried it a couple of months back. Hopefully she'll be more open to it soon. 
  • Barley
  • Oats. Same thing. She didn't take to it the previous time I tried. Hopefully she'll take it better now....
  • Honey?
  • Yoghurt?
  • More eggs
