Time flies so fast these days.
We're already past mid-April and next Friday on 24th April, Alyssa will be 19 months old!
Her current stats and development......
Height: 82cm (60% percentile)
Weight: 10.2kg (55% percentile)
Head Circumference: 47.5cm (80% percentile!) So she's a 大头 like her mum haha...
Mobility: Excellent.
She's a climber and a full-fledged runner lol. Granted she still has her "opps I lost my balance moments" but those are mainly because she got distracted by other stuff happening around her.
Speech: Good.
At least I think she's doing good. Though Nadya was speaking better at the same age. But oh well, different kids develop differently. Words that she can say, though not with accurate enunciation yet, include.....
- dog
- shoe
- wear
- where
- open (she says "apom")
- apple (she says "apul")
- fish (she can finally make the "f" sound! And now she says "fish" as "fees")
- dada
- mama
- chieh chieh
- auntie
- cheese
Cognitive development: Pretty good.
She understands 2-part requests and questions. For e.g. "Please pick that piece of paper up and throw it into the dustbin."
Food: Excellent.
She likes most things her older sister doesn't really go for haha, like green peas, corn and pork. She spit out beef though, when I let her try it several weeks ago. Her favourite food right now include chinese cabbage, corn and green peas, and of course not forgetting snacks like raisins, yoghurt melts, biscuits....She's a milk guzzler like Nadya too.
Sleep: Bad.
While she takes her afternoon naps, her sleep at night is rather bad. She is put to bed at 8-plus but probably only falls asleep at 9pm or just past that. She will wake at 11-plus or 12am. And then wake again at 3 or 4am. And then sometimes wake again at 5 or 6am. It's tough looking after her at night.
And I don't know what's wrong. Is it the temperature of the room? The size of the room? The type of mattress we are using for her? The type of pillow she's using? Sigh.....
Happiness: Excellent
Our happy pill. Everybody's happy pill. She's got a natural charm as well. When I brought her out the other day...no less than 4 aunties came up to her at different times to say hi to her, all within a 1.5-hour period...She's charmed her toddler class teachers too!
Drama-ness: Excellent
She's a drama queen. What more can I say? Lol....
The only thing we've not done so well with Alyssa is her exposure to books. By this age, I was reading rhymes and simple stories to Nadya every night...need to catch up on this. I hope I can do it soon!
Grow well sweetie...but take your time too. Not too fast!!
You're our last baby and Mama wants to savour all your firsts to the fullest!
