Little girl turned 15 months old 4 days ago and I didn’t get around to posting this until today. Bad Mommy. We went to Sunway Lagoon on the day but pics will only come later k. Here’s some of her milestones:

• Whenever we open the front door, she will scurry over to her shoes and take a pair to bring to us to put it on her. She understands that she doesn’t need shoes indoor but needs them before going out the door. If we decide to go out the door without her, she will cryyyy and put out her hands for us to pick her up and take her with us.
• The other day I was helping lil SIL with her maths homework, so I was scratching some stuff with a pencil on a piece of paper. Ayra saw this and scurried over and held out her hand for the pencil I was holding and made a BIG fuss when I wouldn’t hand it over to her. Tsk tsk. She happily doodled some stuff when I finally relented and passed the pencil.
• She knows that ringing phones are supposed to be picked up. Daddy’s phone rang on the table and she rushed over to pick it up first and straight away tried to have a conversation with whoever on the other side hahahaha.
• Whenever I return from work, I will go and find Ayra. The moment she sees me, she will flash her big wide smile, drop whatever she’s doing, run over to me, hug my legs and ask me to pick her up for her to gimme a big hug complete with pats on the back hahaha. Warms me up everytime! Best part of the day for me.
• She mastered the art of fake crying. Hahahaha. The only way to check if she’s really crying is to check for tears!
• Also mastered the art of imitating. Do anything in front of her and she will be doing it before u know it!
• She has rejected her porridge. So now, it’s rice and vege+fish soup and whatever other people is having. She eats very little now compared to last month, but at least she’s eating. Sigh. Her weight is going nowhere. She’s been 9kgs for the past 4-5 months now and getting stick thin :(
• But she snacks more. Her favourite snacks are fish ‘keropok’ or any type of ‘kerepek’ or anything fried. Tsk tsk oily food! She will even go to the jar where it’s stored, open the cover and get it herself! Oh and another fav food is french fries. She will eat one after another non-stop and ask for more the moment the last piece goes in her mouth! She doesn’t like biscuits, I tried buying teddy biscuits and such but she throws them down to the ground after 1 bite. Sheesh.
• She fake cries when we pretend to be asleep when she’s awake. And she will try to wake u up by repeatedly hitting u on the face, especially the nose. Yes, ganas gila.
• She squints when she smiles. Until her eyes are reduced to slits. People say she got it from me. I dunno…..
• She is really starting to talk and communicate. And she can follow some of what we say. We always cut down words into 2 syllables. Ay-ra. Mom-my. Da-ddy. When she gets lazy to follow what we say, she will go mmm-mmm in 2 syllables as well! Cheeky girl!!!
• Can play on her own for longer periods but we have to keep watching what she does coz she just LOVES dangerous stuff.
• Starts hating the high chair. When we go out and eat at restaurants, we have to ensure it serves fries. She’s contented to sit quietly while munching on fries. But if there’s nothing for her to eat, she will start fidgeting and ask to be let down for her to potter about. She’s also learning to use cutleries. Some restos provide plates and cutleries for kids and I start to let her self-feed by putting food onto her plate. She knows how to use cutleries, so that’s a start.
• SIL’s friend from UK came to stay with us. She bribed Ayra by getting her a set of toy cookeries, including pots, pans, plates, bowls, and fork and spoon and knife. Ayra loved her immediately! Even agreed to kiss her on the first day she came tsk tsk. The power of bribes hahaha. What’s more amazing is watching Ayra play with the set. She knows to ’stir’ stuff in the pots using a spoon, and she will come and feed us with the ‘food’ from the plates!!! Simply amazing I must say. She must have been watching the maids cook and feed her hahaha. She will really go to everyone, fetch some food from her plate and shove it in our mouth while saying “nyumenyumenyum”, her word for yummy!
• She knows Barney! I wanted to get her a water bottle the other day, and she immediately pointed to the Barney bottle when she saw it. I got it for her and at home, she carries the bottle everywhere and pretend to drink from the empty bottle hahahaha.

We are having so much fun with Ayra now… she is so fun to interact with! She learns something new almost everyday and I’m having trouble keeping up with her. I think what I write is just a small fraction of what she’s capable of.

Here’s some pics from our recent trip to Ikea.
