She also self-regulates - says No! whenever she sees the antennae plugged to the wall (coz she kept touching it initially) goes Wooh! if she almost has a fall. Sometimes when she falls, she'll say that as well, then pick herself up and move on. :)
She keeps going Mum-mum the whole day - eating and drinking lots! :) Very happy to see her enjoying her food. Ben is right - cannot exasperate her regarding food, otherwise she won't eat. She's feeding herself also and enjoys it tremendously.
She's also learning to brush her own teeth (after Mummy brushes for her, of course!). Matthew, my godson, has been an angel with her, and even when she snaps at him, he's still very gentle with her and smooches her ever so often! :)
She's a real tease with Grandaunt michelle (her grandaunt) - always giving the cheeky proud look whenever and then chuckling to herself! She's learnt to flap her arms like a butterfly and say Fly! - Grandaunt michelle taught her. :)
The places here are really baby/child friendly. They've got Parents' room - a special loo - like the disable toilet but equipped with a baby changer as well as a small potty next to the regular potty. Also, the restaurants are pretty kid friendly. We went to Fair Play Cafe today and Abby had so much fun running around the whole place and within the toddler play area. Matt was all over the bigger kids area. Really fun to see them have so much fun. :)
As much as she's exploring so much now, I wonder what 'repercussions' there'll be when she returns to the sterile environment in Singapore. E.g. she's quite used to feeding herself - so if she's not allowed to touch her food (back home), I can pretty much guess she'll kick up a fuss. :P But I dun really care. Someday she needs to learn to feed herself - and I can't afford to let her be spoonfed when she's in older. True it's 'faster', but it's very disabling for the kid.
Anyway, Abby's come up with this new look - The Puzzled Face!
She'll walk around with this look and then laugh like mad coz she knows it's hilarious! :) Grandaunt Michelle keeps teasing her with that too! :) Too cute! :)

Heheheh... she keeps doing it whenever i ask her for her Puzzled Face! :) cute until can die... heheh... and she'll do it in the sun also... kinda like a squint i think? :P
The older generation aren't really keen on self-feeding. Though MIL & Mum agreed, when my back was turned, they've shoved another spoonful for her. :P I find it helps to praise her self-feeding skills, I tell them she's SOOO advanced, feeding herself in public. That other mummies praise her too, heh.
Makes them darn proud and willing to let her practise more ;P . And practice really makes perfect. :)
Not keen to fight this battle. I'll let Abby fight it. Heh. ;) Will let her self-feed when we finally get our very own place. :D Can't wait! :D
I Love the video!!! sooooo Cute! the way she says Amen and how both of you kept repeating your words... "Abigail say wait", "mum-mum" x3! and finally she said WAIT! so cool, she's really learning fast... Thats what our (Abby and I) big forehead is for! so we'll learn fast fast, and be smart smart, amen! =D
Yup yup! :D She's really picking things up real quickly! Besides imitating, she's coming up with her own stuff! :D My camera/video just isn't fast enough to capture all these wonderful moments! :)
