Ever since I could remember, she's been dancing and dancing whenever there's music playing. Lately, the dancing changes. And these past 2 days she found out how to shake her head, and incorporated it to her dance moves.
With the dance, she's learnt how to say " yeaaa.." when we ask her something. She knows how to say "beaaa..." (for bear) and then gives bear a big sandwich hug.
She can finally do the one thing that i've been teaching her for sooo many months!!
What is it?
She can now 'sayang' us when we ask her to!!! She does it by laying her head down on our shoulder or chest and would mumble "..aaahhhhhhhh". What's funny too is there are times when she doesn't feel like doing it when we ask her to, so we'll show it to her by putting bear on our shoulder instead, she'll watch us and 2 seconds later grab bear from us and put it on her shoulder and sandwich it with her head!!! hillaarious!
Apart from that hugeeee development, adelle now likes to :
- go in and out of the bottom of chairs and tables. *sigh* she loves to 'peek' too.
- yesterday she sounded like she was saying "..aappell" with silent L.
- when we ask, where's opa's fish tank? she'll point to the right direction.
- when she was in the stroller during the trip to singapore all day long, she would sleep in it, play in it. so easy. once a while we'd take her out for a 5 minute cuddle.
- bite on things with lotsa power! (geremmm gitu mukanya sampe goyang2 mukanya)
- if she has a chance to crawl downstairs, she'd go to the kitchen and look for eggs! luckily no eggs have been sacrificed in the process so far.
- when the phone rings, she'll put her hand on her ear and says "..llooo". when her grandma rings up, she'll go " yaaa... looooo".
- when we catch her doing something she isnt allowed, she'll be the one putting her finger up and say nooo nooo to us before we have the chance to! :D
This video was long forgotten and just watched it again last night. We thought it's hilarious enough to share, so there ya go!! :D
and here's Adelle in dancing mode :
things that adelle copies everytime :
* when we put our hands on the chest to act surprise, she'll do the same
* when we pout, she'll pout back (she loos hilarious when she does this)
* when we hug and pat adelle's bear, she'll grab the bear and put it right next to her cheek and pat
* when we say point our index finger and say no to her, she'll point her index finger back at us
* when we play peekaboo with a blanket, she'll grab the blanket and peekaboo too
* when we clap, she'll clap
* when we laugh outloud, she'll do an even louder laugh-scream kind
She understands us not allowing her to go to the bathroom - when we say... don't go in there adelle... just play in here, she'll stop crawling, turn around and look at us, and crawl back out. But sometimes we have to call her a couple more times before she changes direction completely.
She likes to go up the stairs now by crawling. We just watch her very closely behind her all the way up. and when she gets up to the 2nd floor, she'll stop and clap to herself hahehehe..
She loves to practice how to stay standing up for a long time. Sometimes she'll get up around 5am just to practice for 20 minutes or so. The longest she can hold herself in standing position is 45 seconds on the bed (yeaa..we timed it hehehe). But when she stands up on the floor we haven't had a chance to time her, it should be much much longer.
She always calls for "Mamma" when she's tired, hungry, wet, bored, wants a cuddle, and just woken up. She'd say "mamam" when she wants her meal. She calls oma "emahh" and opa "epaah". She'd say "Papa" from time to time but not so often.
She laughs and giggles when iie Alice says "adellee...bolobolo..". Never when everyone else says the same thing though.
Another thing that we love watching is when she listens to her singing book, she'll 'dance' by rocking her body up and down.
overall, adelle is such a happy go lucky baby (not that i know what other babies are like), very easy to care for and we can't believe that she's turning 1 in 50 days!
happy new year everyone!
just a quick update on adelle :
- her 4th and 5th tooth have made an appearance
- she climbed up the stairs today for the very first time - ALL 17 steps and all by herself. it's amazing this little girl has that much energy to do that.
