Geraldine at 20mth+

1) We notice this week that she has a little mole just under the corner of her right eyes.
2) Geraldine has grown taller and her shoe size is now moving towards size 9, my little gal has chubby big feet.
3) She has taken on the role of big Jie Jie to my god daughter Yan En. Geraldine is more willing to share toys with Yan En now. Both daughters love each other dearly. They will hug and kiss each. Both girls are always very happy and excited to see each other in the morning. But of course they will fight over toys and also for their Daddy's (CH) attention.
4) Her new love pine nuts, sun flower seeds & cranberries. And of course her favorite baby corn, broccoli, winter melon soup, ice-cream, raisins and biscuits.
5) She loves snacking every night when we reached home and she can usually finish 240ml of milk before she sleeps.
6) She knows toys need batteries to operate and when her toy ran out of power, she will turn over other toys and says' Mummy, take batteries.' When she doesn’t like something, she will say 'go away'. She will say 'please' when she need something and always calling out Daddy and Mummy when she want things to get her way. Till date she got almost 210 words to her vocabulary that she speaks and understands.
7) She listens to reason when we talk to her and explain to her why she can't do certain things.
8) When we get her agreement to a certain request, she will keep her promise to act out the request.
9) Every night before she goes to bed she needs to play hide and seek with her kaka for at least half an hour. She will hide with her kaka and call out, 'Mummy, us!', which meant Mummy find us.
10) She loves chasing after bubbles, playing cooking, going for walks in the evening, running around the playground, digging sands, splashing around in water, her Barney and also trying to catch sight of the moon and stars at night. She loves to snuggle close to me in the bed before she sleeps. When she needs a hug, she will looking up at me and calls 'Mummy' lovingly.
11) She loves making funny faces.
12) She loves lazing around in bed especially on weekends when both Daddy and Mummy is with her, really a little golden piglet.
13) She loves her Ye Ye, Nai Nai, PoPo, all her uncles, aunties and cousins.
14) She is still wry of strangers and is cautious whenever she sees an unfamiliar face. Even the offer of food and toys, she doesn't accept any of these if she doesn't know the person well enough.

Bubble chasing



Bought a bottle of bubble for Geraldine, she has been asking for it everyday for the past couple of weeks. Finally, we remember and brought her to the playground for bubble blowing session. She had a great fun trying to catch the bubbles. It keeps her happy the whole day! While playing, suddenly someone rang the bell of a bicycle and Geraldine suddenly says, ' Where is the bell, Daddy?' So cute.

Big shoes

We were in our bedroom trying to settle Geraldine and get her ready for bed. Without us noticing, she took the tissue box that just happened to be empty and put it on her left feet and told us, 'Look, Daddy, big shoes!'

Calling Mummy

Out of the blue, Geraldine suddenly loves calling Mummy almost every single mintue. Every single thing she will call out Mummy for my attention. Felt so happy! Finally, she is calling Mummy without me having to ask her to call me. And she calls Mummy more than Daddy now...haha...And she sounds really sweet whenever she calls me, makes my heart melt and want to pamper her even more.

Love for Daddy

Geraldine said her first complete sentence tonight, 'Daddy, make milk milk now. Daddy, come.' She has been saying short and broken sentences for the past couple of months and finally, she say a complete sentence! Well done gal!

Geraldine is really a Daddy's girl. The way she call her Daddy is so sweet and full of love. She even make me jeolous of her Daddy coz of the loving way she calls him with a special tone to it.
From the moment she woke up in the morning to night time before she sleeps, or in the middle of the night when she is dreaming, she will call out to her Daddy for comfortable and also to 'yang orh' her Daddy. The love she has for her Daddy is obviously very deep and so very special. It's touching to see the special love and bonding that they have. Geraldine listens to Daddy whenever he ask her to do something, unlike me, she doesn't listen most of the time. When Daddy says it, she will do it for him once she promise him she will do it. It's funny when I see Geraldine acts out what she promise to her Daddy. Thought sometime when she is her stubborn self she will ignore him too....haha part of growing up.

Our new home - Before the renovation works

We got our keys to the new house on the 12th Aug 09. First look of our new home.
Main door walkway and dining area, we going to hack down the wall to make the dining area more spacious. We both love the living room balcony but for Geraldine's safety, we decide to do forgo the open resort style concept and do up window gills and outdoor windows. At the same time, we will be removing the balcony door thus extending the living room area out to the balcony. This will make the living room more spacious and letting Geraldine have more running space.
We decide to hack down the kitchen and redo with open concept as the existing cabinets are really old and run down.
Master bedroom view from balcony, lucky daddy say just do window gills and leave the balcony door as it is so we will still have an outdoor balcony for plants and relaxation.

We will be pretty busy over the next 2 months with selection of the contractor for renovation works and also overseeing the whole renovation project. Hope the end result will look good and we create a cosy, safe and comfortable new home for Geraldine.

Favorite - Ice cream cone

Geraldine's favorite tibits is the ice-cream cone. She can finish all by herself (without the ice-cream on top). Every day she will go to the kitchen cupboard and dig for the ice-cream cone box. Once she found it, she will run to us and ask us to give it to her to mum..mum....

Looking like a big gal



Putting on her shoe all by herself. She is all ready to go out to the market. Daddy say I'm crazy to let her wear jeans out to the market. Realised this jeans is for 18 to 24mths, they are new and she has never wore them before. Have to find all chances to let her wear them before she outgrown them pretty soon...haha

Bought the top from Children Place...so sweet...
