Logging Abigail's Milestones @ 23 Months

Talking Milestones

What were the first dozen or so words your child said that you could understand?
Dada, airplane, mao-mao, gougou, bumblebee, ah-ma, gonggong, yeye, mummum, (s)tar, ball...

What are some of the most delightful mispronounced words your child has used?
Sigh, can't remember. Anyway, if she doesn't know how to say a word, she practically doesn't say it till she thinks she can say it. :P 'Seven' would be the closest - can't decipher how she says it. But really cute. :)

What's the most embarrassing thing your child has said in public to a stranger?
'Pump milk!' and proceeds to feed finger puppet or some toy. So far she's breastfed a lot of toys and many cups have been her pump.

Separation & Independence Milestones
What's the funniest thing your child has done to assert her independence?
Say 'Bu-yao!' in the cutest way ever. And carry her own backpack and put on her own hat. Then take off the backpack and hang it where she found it. Perfect. Now she can learn how to drive herself to school.

What's the most ambitious thing your child has ever tried to do on her own?
Cut her own nails. Scary.

What's your child's proudest accomplishment?
Fed herself in school today. Normally helper feeds her under grandmother's supervision, so can forget about self-feeding.

Self-care & Toilet Training

What are your child's favorite finger foods?
Not a picky eater. Eats almost anything, except for mushy stuff.

What's the funniest outfit your child has insisted on wearing?
None. She puts on whatever we choose.

What's the quirkiest thing your child's done in starting toilet training?
Mixes up pee and poop and calls everything 'Poo-Poo'.

What's your 2-year-old's proudest self-care accomplishment?
She can brush her own teeth and bathe herself! Includes hairwashing and bubbles all over body. :)
