Walk the Dog

Sunday,12/12/2010....and that's when the dog-walking training starts!

Miss K took to the 'challenge' pretty well, gripping the leash tightly, never letting go.
Our little westie was rather behaved, she strutted along real slowly, sniffing along as they go about their 5 metres walk.

THe dog loves the grass,...BUT Miss K refuses to walk anywhere near the grass!

I am hoping that Miss K is not suffering from hastenburaphobia...(fear of grass)
We need more 'grassy' session this weekend when we bring the dog down/out somewhere for a walk - maybe botanical garden, somewhere with LOTS of grass!

Come on, stop scavanging!!



(Haha, muzzle on, no more scavaning) Good dog, let's go.



MAMA!! she refuses to walk, do you want to take over?

Mini playground

Decided to introduce the climb-and-slide and the rocking rhino at our mini playground to Miss K.

(This was 2 weeks ago. Her second visit was on Sunday. She had the playground all to herself both times! Will upgrade her to the larger one on the other side of the estate soon, this one is just right outside our lift)

She loves the rocking rhino, but got bored after a while. Definitely prefers climbing up and sliding down...



First time on the rocking rhino (with part of the slide on background)

 

Up to the top deck before sliding down

 I was holding onto her while she slides (hence no pictures of her ON the slide); might be deemed a little 'kiasi' but since that was her first time on the slide, I wasn't sure whether she would master the ability to slide down without falling off the side (I know... tell me I'm paranoid!)

Weekend with Ee ee

My sister and bro-in-law are both here for the weekend before flying back to Ireland. Miss K enjoyed the weekend with her Ee ee....such a shame I didn't manage to take a photo of them this time round!
Here's one which I took way back when they visited in April:

Ee ee, Miss K misses you already!

Phone, phones and ONLY 'real' phones.

Phone obsession to say the least.
Have been quite a while now...she used to be contented with just anything as a phone (remote control, even shoes!) but now, she only wants A 'real' PHONE!
My E72 is being abused ever so often.

BUT am gonna put a stop to phone abuse soon!
Discovered she LOVES this 'real' pink toy phone which she found in the church creche, I think I know what to get her for Christmas!

15 months & MMR

Decided to give Miss K just the MMR vaccine on its own without the chicken pox vaccine.

Miss K has all her jabs at the polyclinic and I'm very happy with their service so far - very prompt, needn't wait for ages (which we normally have to when we go and see her PD for 'difficult cases') and the nurses are all very friendly and professional.

This morning we waited only 10 minutes and it was our turn! The MMR was given on her left arm. All along she has had jabs on her thighs(?)...but she took the jab pretty well, only cried for say, 30 seconds? :)

Miss K's stats as of 15 months, 4 days:

Height: 79.5cm (>75%, just slightly shy of 90%)
Weight: 10.75kg ( >90%)
Head circ: 46cm (slightly >50%)
She has a small head *sigh*

She is still in her 'cleaning lady' mode...and I thought she has grown out of it after she stopped cleaning tables while we dine out....Here's Miss K happily cleaning "seats" at the polyclinic while waiting for the nurse to check on her injection site.

This is the way I brush my teeth, I brush my teeth, I brush my teeth...

This is the way Miss Kbrushes her teeth every night.
I started Miss K on a tooth brushing regime since she sprouted her second tooth at 9 months old.
(Started with the finger brush from Earth's Best)

At 1 yr old, when Miss K's 8th tooth appeared, I upgraded her to using the intermediate tooth brush from tommy tippee (not the one with bristles yet), with a dab of the banana and strawberry toothpaste from earth's best.

This is our night routine:

Me:  shall we go bathe and brush teeth?

Miss K: *immediately stops whatever she is doing, do the 'brushing teeth' action and walks directly to our bathroom*

Me: Alright, shall we take off your clothes first?

Miss K: *shakes head and points to her toothbrush*

Me: *yanks her top off and put her on her stool, and immediately pass her her toothbrush*

Miss K: *BIG grin*

She 'brushes' her teeth while i bathe her....keeps her occupied:

Report card from infant care

Since joining Cherie Hearts @ Gombak in Mid-March 2010, Miss K has been adapting very well to her teachers and the activities there.
This is the second time we got this "report card" - its actually a file with photos of her at play/'work' with a milestones chart recorded by her teachers.

At 14 months she was 10kgs in weight (I'm guessing the weight loss was due to our trip to Europe and her food strike then!) and 77.5cm in height.

Her teacher-in-charged, Teacher Kathryn, wrote these remarks:

Yoghurt

Introduction to yoghurt:

6 months - Yoplait Baby Yoghurt
12 months - Yoplait Petit Maim
14 months - Adult Whole Milk Plain Yoghurt
(side note: Miss K is now drinking fresh milk, no longer on Formula)

Miss K loveesss yoghurt. Its 'finger licking good'!


Slurp...



mmmm...yummy!





Ahhhh, icky fingers!



All smiles

Miss K has finally 'mastered' the skill of smiling for the camera!
When I hold up my phone and say "smile for mama" she will immediately give me that humongous smile.
With that, all her naughty moments just got erased; only good memories remains...
Am a happy mum :)





Miss K, the dog and the Bean Bag

We shifted the beanbag from the entertainment room to the study when the cot arrived as we needed to convert the entertainment room to Miss K's room...now the beanbags are back!

Main reason: Miss K inches towards the TV while watching her DVD...I don't like that. She stays put when we put her on the beanbag.

The dog loves to sleep on the beanbag...she used to have both beanbags all to herself, now, she has to share it with Miss K.
