The 16th Month

Mama, look! 

This month not only I get a fully fledged toddler, I feel as if I have a totally different baby!!!!!!! Can a 16 month old throw tantrum already? I guess I know the answer already I just didn't expect it happening soooo soon! Having said that, it is indeed very rewarding to watch how Rayray has grown into a toddler and actually understands a lot more than she can speak!

At Baby Play

Height - 79.5cm

Weight - 11.6kg

Eating - Rayray's appetite has shrunk considerably and I think it is fairly normal? She has 180ml of milk in the morning and 100ml before bed and as I can't get hold of goat's milk yogurt in Taiwan, she now either has 80ml of goat's milk after lunchtime nap or I am experimenting with soya milk (so far she doesn't seem to like it), black sesame milk (she seems to like it?!) and Taiwanese style almond milk which she hates. 

Sitting comfortably 

Sleeping - Been sleep training her again as she seems to have totally forgotten how to self settling. It has been three weeks now and she still cries herself to sleep.... and as result her voice is hoarse....I pray it won't last and she can soon learn how to self sooth again!

Scooting!!!

Development -
  • Walking confidently and does not STOP wandering as soon as she opens her eyes in the morning! As she is at such a mobile stage, I just let her explore! She gets particularly excited when we get ready to go out! She would go and get keys as if she was opening the door.
With her cousin, MC
  • Rayray has been brushing her own teeth for the past couple of weeks but I still ask if I could 'help' as I want to make sure her pearly whites stay the way they are!
  • Discovered the fun of balls and she gets almost ecstatic when she sees one! She loves picking up balls and throwing them around!
My little explorer
  • Loves loves animals! Whenever she sees dogs, she goes 'oof oof' and could stare at them for ages if she sees pigeons, squirals or just animals! Not to mentions dogs! She has NO fear! Unlike her mummy or daddy! She would march straight into a dog and touch it or try to play with it!!! 
  • Loves dancing to whatever music she hears!!!
Holding on tight to papi

Hey look at me dancing!

Rayray is absolutely a bundle of joy and laughter to be with and although I felt my baby has turned almost wild when she reached 15 months, I guess I just am scared that she is growing up too fast!
