Updates on Faith

Faith is growing up so fast and I have been so busy with all sorts of adventures with her that I have not been very efficient blogging on her milestones...hmmm...

Faith raised her arms at me from the pram and said 'Up!' while we were shopping at Forum Galleria yesterday. I was shocked! But delighted of course. :) This is the fourth word she has said so far.

Right after she turned 6 months, she muttered 'mamamama...' one day. It became clearer when she wanted milk and when she woke from nightmares. She'd cry 'Mama...mama...'

The following week she said 'babababa...' When Daddy came back from work, she beamed immediately at the sight of him and said 'Bababa'. Then one night, she woke at 2am (which is unusual), and scratched at Daddy's back saying, 'Babababa.' Daddy was down with very high fever and hadn't played with her that day. When she didn't get a response from Daddy, she stared at the ceiling quietly for 2 seconds and suddenly said, 'Ba-ba' that sounded very clearly Mandarin! Both Daddy and I stared at her -- jaw dropped and speechless.

Last week, Grandma was playing hide and seek with her. She was screeching with excitement and when she couldn't find Grandma who was hiding behind a pillar, she said, 'umma...umma...' That stole Grandma's heart away, of course. :)

We also just realized Faith has learnt how to sit and balance herself from falling backwards when we went to our GP for her long overdue 6-in-1 jab. It's like...she's suddenly growing up so fast!

I'm a very blessed and proud mother. :)
