Habits

Elle gets the hang of throwing tantrum recently. Whenever she points at something that she wants and we refuse to give her, she'll start screaming and flailing her arms and legs. It's getting a lot more interesting when she's on the floor. When thing doesn't go her way, you'll see her face wrinkles into a crying face and lies there in a prayer position thrashing her arms. She'll stay there and refuse to get up until we come over to pick her up.

Her mouthy habit is persistent. It's not that hard to tell from her suspicious face when she has something inside her mouth. She'll turn her head to peep at us several times as if making sure we're not aware of what she has done. That's totally a guilty act! Some interesting stuffs, which we know of, that she picks up and puts into her mouth are hair clip, grass, flower, rock, and crispy chicken pieces that dropped off to the floor days ago. I found a screw inside her mouth a couple of days ago. Cross our finger she's not going to try something more dangerous next time.

Baby playdate

These two have moments of pulling shirt and pushing one to the floor.

Michelle is such an easy-going, happy baby. On the contrary, Elle is not so friendly and does not willing to play with her at first. It takes a while for her to break the ice.

100 steps

Sunny and cold crisp day. A big change from yesterday warm breezy weather. We spent the afternoon outside the apartment letting Elle to get down on her hands and knees on the grass having funs of plucking flowers and grass. She loves to be on the grass now and I'm surprise to see her enjoy crawling around.

She's really good at picking up stuffs and then giving it to us. She never gets tired of repeating the picking-up-and-giving act gazillion times. Playing with rocks is another fun game for her. I just sit there with both of hands openned, and she'll fill my hands with plenty of rocks in no time.

She is getting addicted to walking when we hold both her hands. We're having heaps of fun walking on the concrete outside the apartment building. We walked exactly 100 steps until we hit the edge of the concrete. I tried to stop twice at the 50th step and 80th step. However, she kept holding my hands up expressing that she wanted to walk more.

Naked baby

This is the Elle I picked up at the daycare this evening. Oh yeah, topless! It's hilarious to see her half naked walking on her knees towards me.

The staff told me that she was making a mess to her shirt during lunch time. They couldn't find any non-wintery clothes for her to change so they just left her topless in this warm weather day.

Wobbly baby steps

A little helper helping mama by picking up clothes from the laundry basket and then throwing them behind her for mama to fold them. Isn't she the greatest?

Elle's making her first wobbly steps all by her own while trashing the living room today. She found two bookmarks within a pile of books. Then, she turned around and stood up waving the bookmarks one in each hand at me. My eyes almost popped out when she started walking towards me. I hold my breath counting each step she made. One, two, three and then she fell on her butt.
