updates...more updates about my little ones....

Yes.....Naomi can now point correctly at all her major body parts as I always sing for her the song
"Head & Shoulder, Knees & Toes, Knees & Toes,
Head & Shoulder, Knees & Toes, Knees & Toes,
Eyes, Ears, Mouth & Nose"
She will follow me as I do the action and when I test her again by asking her where's your nose? She will point at her nose and sometimes she will point my nose!
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is one of her favourite songs too.
When I sing the song for her, she will said 'star'. She even can use both her hands to do Diamond shape when I sang "Like a Diamond in the sky" She even can recognize 'Star' in pictures from books, magazines and T.V!
Every night, I need to read a book for her before her bed time. Sometimes I'm very tired so I will turn on the TV for her instead but she will demand for her bedtime story! She will said 'book', 'book', 'book' and kept pointing at her books! Very demanding indeed!

Naomi @15months

She’s definitely more aware of her surroundings now.
Last week we took Naomi for her chicken pox jab.
At first she was okay, when the nurse tried to weigh her in the weighing machine, she started crying hysterically. When she saw the doctor she cried louder and louder ( I think she knows what she’s getting into) cause normally when she visit Dr.Chua she will be meeting her good friend ‘the needle’ already. 2 people need to hold her during the jab, I need to hold both her hands tightly and the nurse was holding her legs and Dr Chua quickly took the needle and injects her buttock. It was very fast but little girl still crying even after the injection. She only stops crying when we were out from the room!

Besides her awareness towards the surroundings, she’s now expert in imitating people and ‘acting’. When I asked her to do any actions she will perform it to me.
These are some of my recent conversations with her.
#1:
Me: Naomi, can you please show mummy how you sleep? Can you do the ‘sleeping’ action?
Naomi: (Act out the action: 2 hands flat together and put at one side of her ear with snoring sound) Yes, got sound effect some more!

#2:
Me: Naomi, show Mummy how you cry?
Naomi: (Act out the action: hands covering her face and said Oooo…Oooo…Ooooo)
One funny incident was I was watching Jerry Mcguire on TV that day and there’s one part in the movie where Cuba Gooding Jr (as Rod in the movie) was interviewed in the famous talk show after his ‘success’ in the sports world he was telling the host “No, I’m not going to CRY” cause normally all celebrities in the talk show will cry.
So when Naomi heard the word CRY from TV she acted out the action! It makes me realize that her listening skill is actually quite good…hmmm

#3
She was playing with one of her toys….
Me: Naomi, put the toy on mummy’s head
Naomi: Quickly took the toy and put on my head!

That night I asked her to close the bedroom door and she’s a good girl, went to the door and close the door shut. Sometimes after I change her diaper I will ask her to throw inside the dustbin. She will happily take the diaper and throw it inside the bin.
