I Want "Ma Ma". Oh No...

After Renee's theory class, we went to the mall instead of heading home(since not taking up the swimming lesson yet) as we needed to get new bath towels for the kids.

Whilst Rachel and I were at Mothercare, passing by the feeding bottles and pacifiers section, I turned to her, pointing to the bottles and teats, I asked "you want 'juk juk'?",  she protested loudly with an "arrhhh!" and then she said "ma ma!" - I think she meant she still want to be b-fed, oh man!

1st Sign of Tanthrum

Naughty Rachel's 1st sign of 'xiao jie' tanthrum - she'd not call me "ma ma" after I've chided her... Last night, I've chided her more as she didn't want to go to sleep earlier, and today, she just simply did not wanna call me. We'd usually tease her by calling her 'pet name' and she'd response by answering "ma ma", "pa pa"... today, when I did that, she'd deliberately call "pa pa" and gave me a teasing look.

Rachel says "Bye Bye"!

Last week, we've heard Rachel calling out "Bye Bye" in reply to ours! 

As usual, we would wave to her or say "bye bye" to her whilst she waved back but a few days ago, she responded verbally too!  And since then, she'd respond the same way whenever she felt like it, :D.

Baby's 1st Words

Since her 1st 2 murmurs of "ma ma" at 5mths old, Rachel's not utter it the 3rd time, no matter how much we'd(me more lah, of cos, hahaha) love to hear it again.

We've been busy at the homefront lately but recently, I decided to 'teach' Rachel how to 'call' moi again, hehehe. I've been telling her "don't arh arh arh, say "ma ma", like this : "mmm, mmma, mmma" and each time, she'd mimick the mouth movement, without a sound.  Not giving up, I did this over a period of 2-3 days, and finally, she did it again today!  It sounded even clearer this time round and to my surprise, it seems like she's also picked up "mum mum" too, when she wanna feed.  The latter need further confirmation(twice so far), But, if it's correct, then hurray, we now have 2 means of finding out if she wanna feed, :).
