Milestones

Since I was talking about the newsletter previously, let’s talk about my milestones as 15 month old toddler. Don’t worry I’ll not talk about all the stuff in the newsletter, but will only focus on the notable ones. “You will find she is very curious and loves to up-end containers, boxes and even your handbag, so be prepared for increased mess around the house. She wants to spend more time awake so keep to a routine that gently calms her down before bedtime.” Yup, this one is right on the nail. Tissue boxes are the top of my hit-list now. Big bro’s schoolbag is also goodie-laden. I’m like a baby on steroids … hihihihi. “She runs and rarely falls, and can throw a ball without falling over from the effort. She walks up and down stairs with some help, and can stand on her right foot if you support her.” Hmmm … stand on 1 foot? I must try that trick. “She enjoys carrying around her favourite toy or teddy bear, and likes to pile up her toys in a small heap. She prefers to stay awake and is aware that she may miss out on activities if she is absent. She still likes emptying containers and other household items, and she settles her curiosity by touching everything and exploring each object fully." I hate to say this, but I really don’t have a favourite toy. A favourite book maybe but not a toy because I will play with everything before boredom takes over and I move on to the next toy. “She reacts to the emotional states of those around her: if you are happy she will be happy but if you are angry she may also use angry gestures. She smiles at everyone, is very aware of herself and the reactions she provokes from others, and enjoys people watching her.” Another one right on the button. What can I say, I am progressing on track!
