The Toddler Kayla: 21 - 22 months

Another 2 more months, Kayla will be 2 years old!! My girl is growing up very fast every day...

Her developments for the month:

- Learning to count number 1-10 in Cantonese! *clap clap*
- Learning to count "11-20"
- Learning & identifying colors.
- Started to ask us the question "Why?"
- Loves girlish things! For eg accessories, clothes, hair accessories etc & will say "美美!＂

Kayla & her new hairband (only put it on for a short while only...
Always take it off and refuse to wear them again : / )
- Loves looking at photo albums and will identify the people whom I have pointed out to her before.

- Knows how to say " The End" when we finish reading a book to her
- Able to understand the concept of "Similarities". For eg, if a picture card shows "toy cubes", she will go and take her bag of toy cubes to me. And if she sees the picture of "slide", she will ask to play the mini slide in the house. She will also tell us "same same" when she notices the similarities between 2 objects.
- Able to sit her own butt up on the small chair by herself
- Learnt how to switch on and off her toys by herself

- Started "imaginary play"/ role playing with soft toys
- Learning how to show "V" sign with her fingers but her fingers still quite "stiff" so still have been unsuccessful

New foods for the month!


- Started her on Scotts Cod liver oil Emulsion (orange) & she loves it after a few tries & even want more!
In this month, we have both stopped using sterilizer for her milk bottle, and also (finally) completed her mandatory vaccinations! We will then start her on important yet optional vaccinations next - e.g. chicken pox

Activities in May!
- 6 May: We went on a Universal Studios trip on Papa's birthday! And as a family too (cuz Kayla had went twice le!)



- 13 May: We went for our very first outdoor photoshoot (its actually a Mothers' Day photoshoot promo by Oh,Dear! Photography) at Vivo City

Shots with Papa...

The Yammies in action...

Well, it was hard to get Kayla smiling happily, cuz firstly the weather is humid and Kayla does not like being outdoors especially under the sun (xiao jie pattern), and secondly she kept looking at the photographer and may also wondered why she had to do what the photographer/mama kept asking her to do? Luckily we still have quite a considerable amount of few good shots, just pity that Kayla wasn't smiling in most of them...  Papa Yam's mood was also affected by the humid weather and couldn't really show happy faces in the photoshoot... Hmm... only the Mama is enjoying the photoshoot by herself.. (zi high!) haha...

Finally a Happy Kayla!

- Lastly, she had a play date with new friends!
