My Dollie Baby

Racia turns 10 months old today!

A summary of Racia's development as follows:
1) Racia can now pull to stand/push to stand by herself.
2) She can also stand very steadily with support. Mummy also caught her trying to stand without support but only for a few seconds.
3) She is crawling very very well too on both flat surfaces and over and around obstacles (including climbing over mummy the big obstacle). She will make a mad dash/super fast sprint crawling whenever she spots the play yard gates opened. She will crawl out of the gates to sit on the cold ceramic floors. She seems to enjoy just sitting on the cold hard floor.

4) She could get into sitting position from tummy since she was 8 months old.

5) She could also pick up tiny objects neatly with tip of thumb and forefinger since she was 7 months old.

6) Racia has also started to finger feed, mostly only cheerios, baby biscuits and teething rusk. Mummy think its time she introduce some veggie sticks for Racia to try finger feeding.

7) She now drinks from a straw cup.

8) She is eating textured food - chopped/flaked instead of pureered.

9) She now has 2 bottom teeth and one top tooth coming out.
10) She loves to say "Da Da". Mummy thinks that Racia loves daddy more than mummy!

11) She say "eh" whenever she wants to call someone.
12) She is showing more of her emotions especially temper and anxiety. She will protest really loudly when her favourite toys are taken away and she seems to cling on more to mummy whenever she is tired or in unfamiliar places or with an unfamiliar crowd.
13) She is also showing more expression on her face. (e.g. puzzled look, buay song stare, raised eyebrow etc.)Mummy always laugh whenever Racia shows one of these funny expressions.

14) She can understand when mummy or daddy says "No". But sometimes, she still ignores instructions.

15) She knows how to shake her head to indicate "No" especially when mummy tries to feed her when she is not hungry and when she does not want to eat.

16) She knows how to push her cup away when she has drunk enough water.

17) She can clap really well, and will clap most of the time when she hears music.
18) She can wave bye bye.
19) She can pass objects very quickly from one hand to the other.
20) She recently loves to imitate mummy or grandma's actions like pointing and raising of hands.
