It seems like only a few weeks ago Huirou was born. Then now Zhixin has arrived. It is hard to believe what she could not do as a newborn that she easily manage now.
Growth, Food Intake and General Well Being
- Eats a ton. But still about the same size.
- Generally happy, cheerful and loving.
- She is losing some of her baby features and starting to look like a little girl.
- She will behave like one too, wanting me to pin up her hair AND demands to look into the mirror at her prettier self.
- She loves to ask Hubs to bring her to the playground in the evenings.
Physical Development and Communications
- For some time now, she can go up the stairs by holding on to the hand rails. She still have to rely on us going down though.
- She can also do a true jump now.
- Often when she’s behaving cheekily, she will walk on tiptoes around the house.
- She can roll her ball with pretty good aim now; but can’t throw at any target yet.
- I have begun to teach her to count and so far she can manage one,two, three and yee, er, san (same thing in English and Chinese respectively). Something exciting usually happens on “three” :)
- She can string together simple sentences with words and phrases she already knew.
- She will claim her possessions by saying wo de (ch: mine)
- Able to sing a (yes just one) song. actually just the chorus and not very well either. The chorus goes something like this: yippee-ya-ya-yippee-yippee-ya-ya….
- Did I already mentioned that Huirou has a temper?
- and will throw tantrums when she don’t get her way?
- with tears and screaming too?
- Despite all that, she loves her brother very much, wanting to hold and cuddle and kiss him when she arrives home. If she don’t get to hold him in the evenings, she will ask again as soon as she wakes up in the morning.
- If Zhixin cries and we don’t attend to him fast enough she gets upset too. The slightest sound from him will prompt her to ask us to baobao didi.(ch: pick up younger brother)
