<\/p>\nHannah\u2019s vocabulary has been growing by bits, and she reached a developmental milestone last week when she seemed to actually be cognizant of a word she was uttering. The both of us often use the phrase \u2018sit sit\u2019 to her when we seat her down on our laps. <\/p>\n
She\u2019s now able to repeat this phrase to the best of her ability when she wants to sit down with us. Not quite the precise enunciation yet of course, but it\u2019s by far the most recognizable word she\u2019s able to say.:)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve noticed too that Hannah isn\u2019t naturally comfy when left alone. In this regard, she\u2019s definitely like Mommy and nothing like Daddy! One very nice thing these days is that we don\u2019t really have to call her over to us very much when we want to keep an eye on her while we go about doing our thing at home. She\u2019ll usually just wobble over to one of us \u2013 usually Mommy unless Mommy\u2019s too busy in the kitchen to entertain her and she sends her over to me \u2013 and then \u2018hang out\u2019 around the vicinity. <\/p>\n
Oh yeah; the above is our take of the Ikea meatballs. Bought a 1 kg pack with the gravy and jam, and dished it out. Ling managed to whip up quite a close facsimile.:)<\/p>\n

While Hannah\u2019s getting heavier by the day too, our arms these days are enjoying a small respite \u2013 as Hannah absolutely adores the freedom of being able to walk-wobble around on her own. We used to have to arm-carry her out of the doorway, but she\u2019s able to do so on her own now though the vertical ledge that joins our apartment and the lift corridor still requires us to support her as she manages her way down to the corridor.<\/p>\n

And this we\u2019ve got no idea where she learned from: this picture doesn\u2019t show it too well, but Hannah\u2019s fully capable of rolling her tongue! The funny thing is that neither Ling nor I can do it.:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
