Growth Spurts
Faith seem to be having another bout of growth spurts over the last couple of weeks. Physically, she is now 74 cm tall and weighs 12 kg. She has 8 teeth now; 1 more lower tooth in front and 2 molars at the back budding. Developmentally, she's been suddenly doing lots of new things; some of which we have been demonstrating to her but she never copied our actions or words till now!
Just today, she did a few new things that thrilled me so much that I had to cover my mouth with my hands so that I don't exclaim too loudly and scare her!

She has been trying to walk, for quite some time; but would always only do it when she is sure she has something stable or one of us for support.
This morning, after we came home from the playground where she was playing with several other older toddlers who walk on their own, she walked about 2-3 metres towards the tv on her own as she stared at the commercials on tv! I was near tears, I think. :p When she reached the wall, she sat down on the floor, turned around to look at us, smiled and clap her hands! :') She is so sweet...

She is still wearing cloth diapers; but stopped wanting to pee into the potty over the last few days. She would pee in the toilet when she needs to.
This afternoon, before her nap, she fussed. I asked if she wanted to pee, she paused and looked thoughtful for a second, then waved her little hand towards the toilet door and and said 'ng!'. I carried her and walked towards the toilet to confirm her expression. She waved her hand towards the toilet door and said 'ng!' again. And she did pee! When she's done, she said 'pa-per'!
When she woke from her nap just as we arrived at grandma's place, she beamed as usual at the sight of grandma, and signed 'T' for 'toilet' to her -- she wanted to pee!
If you are a mother too, you will know how proud I am. :)
