14 months old

Zofie just turned 14 months old. She is no longer crawling. She walks a lot. She walks as if the place/road belongs to her father. She wouldn’t care much about knocking onto other things or people. I tried not to ask her if she is in pain when she fells. I’m afraid she will turn out spoiled like one of my cousins fell a little bit cried like hell. Anyway she is going to fell many times in future when she grows up. I can’t be there all the time. She has to learn to stand up on her own.

The recent foreign Language she likes to speak is dang dang… dang dang…

I have no idea if she can say a few words now? Sometimes I think she can try to say tap tap when I tell her to tap the floor or boxes. Maybe she can call ma… ma... (Mummy) But she will only say ma… ma… when she is crying. Normally I don’t hear the word ma.. ma.. At all. She is now trying to say some words when I teach her. But those words are not clear from her.

Zofie can now eat on her own using fingers. I tried letting her eat with spoon or fork but she throw them away. I have no idea when she will start using spoon or fork to eat. A mummy told me she is not ready to hold the spoon and fork. I have to wait for her queue to let me know when she is ready. Anyway I’m happy about her eating on her own using finger. There is no need for me to feed her when we go restaurant. Most of the time she can help herself and we can have our own food too.

Zofie’s sleeping time starts to change. She is no longer sleeping more then 12 hrs per day. She is now sleeping 11+hr per day. I hope she can sleep more. I wonder why she changes. Could it be too much classes for her and it affect her sleeping time or because she is now starting to walk?

Most people see Zofie as a happy baby. But I could still remember her first 8 months she wasn’t easy at all. She keeps crying most of the time and that was real tough.
Recently I tried to concentrate on her right brain development. I have no idea how much she will learn but I try my best to teach her as much as I can. Professors say parents will not be able to see any development till they reach 3 years old. Plus we should not test the baby. So many activates I’m doing with Zofie I only know she likes flash cards. When I finish flashing all the cards she will cry for more.

Oh yes… Zofie is very sensitive to my voice. Whenever she cries I got to sing to her to make her stop crying. I seldom read or talk to her when I was pregnant but she can be sensitive too.
