“ne ne (milk), niice – ㄋㄟㄋㄟ, niice

* 18 months *

Thursday night, daddy waited till 10pm so he could give Emma a top up feed. Because she’s only finished half of her bottle before bed and we don’t want her to wake up in the middle of the night wanting a feed.

Daddy made the bottle and went into her room and said: “ne ne (milk)?”

Emma raised both of her hand to hold the bottle and said: “ne ne, niice”; had a few sips and then one arm went flooy and fell onto the bed, the other hand holding the bottle also went floppy and fell onto the bed with her head turning towards that side.

Daddy went: “ne ne?” again.

Again, Emma raised both of her hand to hold the bottle and said: “ne ne, niice”; and the same thing happened after a few sip, our arms went floppy and we fell asleep!! Very asleep!

Of course we woke up in the middle of the night for the feed, but it was rather cute of her saying “ne ne, niice”.

話說前天晚上爸爸為了要幫妹妹補一瓶ㄋㄟㄋㄟ等到10點. 因為他睡前只喝了半瓶ㄋㄟㄋㄟ, 不補的話半夜會起來吵.

爸爸泡好了奶瓶, 進去他房間問到: “ㄋㄟㄋㄟ?”

妹妹伸出雙手接奶瓶說: “ㄋㄟㄋㄟ, niice”. 喝了幾口, 一手先鬆掉, 掉到床上, 另一手扶著奶瓶, 連頭一起往另一頭倒下去. 睡著了.

爸爸又說: “ㄋㄟㄋㄟ?”

妹妹又伸出雙手接奶瓶說: “ㄋㄟㄋㄟ, niice”. 結果喝了幾口, 又跟剛剛一樣的睡著了!

我們當然就只好半夜起來吵要喝ㄋㄟㄋㄟ囉… 不過很可愛啦, 還會說ㄋㄟㄋㄟ, niice

First official haircut



Haircut, originally uploaded by The Eberhard Family.

Emma had her first offficial haircut recently. She was quite good for about 5 minutes and then decided that she had had enough. She let us know by saying ‘No’ several times and then started to scream. As she does.

At first we thought that the hairdresser hadn’t done much but as time passes you can really see the effect of the cut. Much better than Dad’s at home jobs. :)

Emma meeting her cousins

I think they get along!

It was really nice to see Emma immediately start interacting with Isobella and Adam. Normally she tends to ignore other kids but she was very happy to go play with them.

Updates – 近況

Sorry, we’ve been away on holiday and mummy has been too busy and too lazy to update the blog.

Over the last 2 months (wow has it been that long since I’ve updated), Emma has slowly growing to be more and more like a little person, she can express her feelings more; she can understand things and instructions more; she has experienced different food while she was in Taiwan and she likes the Asian style food.

I’m not sure if it is an age thing or the exposure to us and to more people talking to her more over the holidays in Nov/Dec, then again over Christmas & New Year, Emma’s been learning more and more new words. There’s lots of words that sound very similar, especially the ones in Chinese, but she actually knows the meanings. She has also started putting two words together, such as more xx (food), or da da night night.

She’s imitating us more as well… all part of the normal development. Quite funny to watch.

Teething department, I think while we were away, both of the K9 on the top came out. So we have 14 teeth all together now. Waiting for the 2 K9s at the bottom and the final 4 molars at the very back to come out. Then we are done with teething… for now. :P

She’s been enjoying different things and being more bossy as well. She would command you to sit, eat and drink if she’s eating. She likes to turn round and round on the same spot and you have to do it with her… gets all dizzy and she wants more!

She also understands more on the “sequence of events”; if we are going out, she started from looking for her shoes, or taking granddad’s hat to, she would grab his hat, sunglasses, look for her hat, socks, then sit down and asks for her shoes to be put on.She will try to put the shoes on herself, too.  She’ll insists that she has her hat and her shoes.

When she’s bored at a place, ready to go home or leave; she would go find our shoes and she gets the correct ones for us, find my bag and her bag, then say bye-bye.

And unfortunately, we started saying “Nah” a lot and just these few days, started saying “No”, a very clear “No”.

Oh well, more to come later! :)

=============================================================

抱歉啦, 之前出去玩, 媽媽就一直很忙, 好不容易有空閒的時候又很懶.. 所以最近就很像在出季刊囉.

在這兩個月中… (原來已經那麼久沒有上來報備啦), 妹妹慢慢的越來越像個小大人囉. 他越來越可以表達自己的情緒, 也比較懂得週邊的事情, 你也可以叫他拿東西啊, 做這做那的. 回去台灣的時候也多吃了不少新的食物, 還蠻愛吃的.

也不知道是年紀到了呢 還是這次假期跟我們在一起比較多, 還有台灣的親戚比較多人一直跟他說話, 回來後就學新的字學的很快.有些中文字音很像啦, 不過他都知道意思. 還開始會把兩個字放在一起用.. (如: more 多多 – 養樂多; da da night night – 叫爸爸躺這裡睡覺)

也會一直學我們的動作講話等等… 都是小朋友很正常的學習過程, 不過很好笑.

我們在出去玩的期間, 上面兩顆虎牙都長出來了. 現在 14 顆牙, 還有下面的虎牙和後面的臼齒要長.

他也開始喜歡玩新的東西, 也越來越會管東管西的.  他自己要吃飯的時候, 會叫你也要坐下, 吃東西, 喝水等等啊.  現在還喜歡一直原地轉圈圈, 還要你陪著他轉到頭昏眼花的.

他也對事情的次序變的比較了解了; 例如說, 以前想出去就只會找鞋子, 或是拿外公的帽子. 現在要去散步就會先去拿外公的帽子, 太陽眼鏡, 找自己的帽子,襪子, 然後就會坐下來等你幫他穿鞋子. 還會自己要穿鞋子… 要出去就一定要他的帽子還有鞋子.

去別人家玩夠了, 要回家了, 就會去把我們的鞋子找來給我們, 還知道哪一雙是爸爸的, 哪一雙是媽媽的呢! 還會去找我的包包跟他的包包, 然後就開始說 bye bye!

不過我們也開始學會說 “nah” (不), 最近這幾天還開始說 “no”. 還講的非常清楚呢!

好吧, 下次再報告吧!
