Baby Kayla is 9 months old!

At 9 months of age, Kayla has reached her first 10kg (in fact its 10.1 kg HAHA!), equivalent to a packet of 香米. Well, she has never fail to amaze people who see her for the first time that she is actually not yet 1 year old, and keep thinking that she's of an older age! I should be glad that she's eating well and absorbing well! 

Some of her developments in this month happen kinda fast, and can quite take us by surprise when she demonstrated to us!
  • Clapping hands! (She can also understand the instructions when we said in English, Mandarin & Cantonese version of "Clap Hands")
  • Standing up on her own, when holding to the bed frame (and she being proud of herself when she did it everytime!)
  • "Climbing" - she likes to use her legs to climb up our body whenever we carry her, as if we are trees!
Kayla's favourite weekend activity:


Watching Doreamon at 9.30a.m. every Saturday and Sunday! hahaha... She simply loves the song and will get very focused on the TV once the music starts! She even smiles to herself as she watches it! We think she's more of a Doreamon fan than Winnie the Pooh fan!

Kayla's first (independent) haircut session:

Kayla's at her first trial Kindermusik class:

Are you ready for your first musik class, Kayla?

Outside the Kindermusik

Realised that Kayla quite like music, and that whenever we sing song, it will calm her down and keep her quiet. So decided to let her go for a trial class @ Kindermusik and see if it interests her.

At her first lesson, she has been quietly observing the people and things and sounds around her.

Occassionally she will respond to the music instruments given to the students, e.g., the drum, the sticks, the 'egg' shaker. She likes the 'egg' shaker the best cuz she always like to grab things in her hands and shake it up and down. Other than playing the instruments, I dun really see her laughing/enjoying the class which I later come to read and understand that this is a form of "First Lesson Blues"- Some of the children will sit quietly and observe during their first lesson as they are unfamiliar with the new surroundings and people. So hopefully with more introduction of the music to her when at home, she will grow to like it and enjoy the lessons!
I've been trying to sing her the songs/play the music/read the book that are provided as home materials (included in the package when I signed up for the lessons). So gradually she has became more used to the songs, and we shall see how she reacts at her next lesson.
