Caitlyn is 19 months old…In a few months time we’ll be celebrating her 2nd birthday. So fast!!? Yeah…I know.

For a 19 months old baby I think she is way advanced for her age. Many people say it’s because she has a brother to learn from. I do think so too. Anything Aiden does she’ll follow. Anything Aiden likes she likes. Anything Aiden has she’ll want a share too… even all the boys stuff As a result of that, she behaves like a boy most of the time (much to my dismay) And Greg will off and on tease me saying… “So much to your hopes of sending her for ballet..” 

But luckily she’s not all tomboy, she only follows her brother… she is really a girly girl at heart. She loves all the girl stuff like soft toys, handbag, shoes, pink… She’ll do her little twrilly dance and butt shake whenever she hears a tune that she likes… Like what Greg said is true, children are products of their environment… there’s a very, very slight chance my daughter will grow up to be a tomboy.

Milestone at 19 months:

• Has altogether 12 teeth. She was very grouchy for a few weeks before this and ate very little because the 2 molars at the bottom were coming out. It must have been very painful… poor dear. 
• She is no longer on a diet!! Yeah!! She has gotten back her appetite and is eating better now. It must have been because of the molars. 
• Wants to eat on her own… but she really is a messy eater!! She’ll end up covered with food after a meal.  Although she tries to use the fork and spoon, she end up using her hands anyway.. So we try to give her more finger food. 
• She can count 1-10!! And 5-1 backwards, thanks to Little Einsteins! 
• Has a temper to match her mother…  (I’m not so sure if that’s a milestone.. keke)
• She has also expanded her vocabulary. She can say quite a few words now, quite clearly. Sometimes she’ll surprise us with a full sentence like, “Where you going?” and “What you doing?” I guess it’s because we are always ‘going’ somewhere and I’m always checking on them (Aiden and her) and asking “What are you doing?” :-P 
• Calls everyone by name in the family like Dadi, Popo, Kung Kung, Jiu Jiu, Kor Kor, Yeh Yeh….and she calls me Mi or sometime Mi mi Very cute! And she calls our maid Ga Ga. 
• She’ll be screaming “Shoos! Shoos!” whenever she wants to go out. Then she’ll go off looking for her shoes and handbag… Sigh!
