Oh hello there! I found a new hiding spot! (We only put her in there for a laugh otherwise the door is always shut)
This month has gone by waaaay too fast! I felt we had only celebrated Christmas and New Year and before we knew it, it was CNY! We celebrated CNY in London this year and we kind of liked it that way as to be honest, Taipei is almost a dead city during the festive season and it's just another excuse to eat MORE food!
Height - 78.5 cm (yes, either Rayray has shrunk considerably or the tape measure in UK was VERY different from the one in Taiwan?)
Weight - 11.5 kg
Eating - Rayray is still a good eater and I hope she remains one! Though she has started wanting to feed herself and so apart from offering her finger foods, I assist her in loading food onto her spoon then guiding it to her mouth. It amazes me how a 15 month-old knows what she wants i.e. She would want a mouthful of meat, some bread, followed by some veggie and a sip of water!!
Though it does frustrate me when it comes to milk time as she would normally down her morning milk but it is always a struggle in the evening. I have to read her stories and 'bribe' her i.e. saying that I'd read her more after milk. I now realise how easy it was to breastfeed as I never knew how much she drank! and yes I am the kind of mum that FORCES her baby to finish her milk as she doesn't have the recommended daily amount i.e. 690 ml. She would have 450ml the most, but 360-400ml on most days.
Mummy, do I look cute like this? (one of her favourite funny faces!)
Sleeping - LTN is still a bit of a hit or miss and it is the evening bit that frustrates me as she decided that I had to either stand or sit by her cot till she falls asleep. It doesn't usually take long as she is normally tired by then. I guess it is just one of the phases that babies go through.

Development -
- Rayray has now cut through two more upper front teeth!
- She took her very first unaided steps!!!!! She has been pushing arounf her walker for a few weeks but to see her walking on her own was just amazing! I have it on video but still have no clue how to upload it on here! Help Rod!!!
- She understands more than I realise! When I ask her where her beaker/milk is, she doesn't point them but instead looks around for them and will stare at it when she spots it. Apart from understanding 'NO', she also understands 'Come here', 'Look' and 'Baba' is still one of her favourite words and she has started saying a lot of 'dooooor'?!
- Rayray loves carrying objects i.e. bags or toys when she walks around. I guess it is just one of the many new skills she acquires.
- She also understands the purpose of various objects i.e. she would 'pretend' to comb her hair when given a brush, she would know hair clips go onto her hair, tooth brush is for brushing teeth and shower gel is to wash her body!
Scooting around!!!
My happy bunny, my whole heart
My little dumpling is just so much fun to be with but she is changing so fast that I can't keep up with!
