I know I’ve just posted that I think I’ve lost my MOJO to write… and then I just remembered that I have not done an update for Aiden and Caitlyn for the longest time!!! How can I do that? I’m a terrible Mom and dare call myself a blogger!!! I remember doing this layout and waiting to use it for the update but some how I forgot.  How leh? 

Anyway… better late then never. At least Cait is still 2 years old!!  Well, she is actually to be exact 2 years, 1 month, 2 weeks and 4 days old (thanks to my Lilypie ticker)  

Now that I’m writing this post, I remembered just yesterday that I was watching videos of her when she was just starting to eat solids. She was just barely sitting up in her baby chair. Where did that baby girl go? Now Cait looks more like a little girl then a baby. I know it’s unfair to compare…. (but, how not to leh?) Co pare to Aiden she knows SO much more and also is SO much naughtier then Aiden was at her age. My take o that is that Aiden did have anyone to learn from, he only hung around with adults all the time… While Cait has plenty to learn from her ‘kor-kor’… And that’s why she is also quite a tomboy. 

I seems to have lost track or more like given up keeping track of her vital statistics… She hasn’t been putting on weight and I can’t seems to get her to stand still enough to take her height. But I know that she is still about 12kgs and I’m sure she has grown taller… She must be about 87 cm now. Her shoe size is EUR 24/ Size 7 (for Clarks shoes). Lately I’ve also noticed that both of her canine teeth on the lower jaw is slowly pushing out from her gums, these two actually took quite awhile. Her hair is pass her shoulders now and we can tie her hair up in many styles but she doesn’t really like her hair being tied up though…

Singing - Cait LOVES to sing! Sometime all she needs is to hear a tune a few times and you’ll hear her ‘singing’ along to it in no time. She might not be saying the words but she can surely hold the tune. She already knows all the tunes from the Disney Playhouse programs and getting better at it everyday… Other then that she can ‘sing’ a few Jacky Cheung songs, Tylor Swift and some jazzy tunes. My favorite number from her is the ‘Monkey Jumping On The Bed’ song. Very cute!!

Dancing – Ah.. dancing is also another of my daughter’s strongest forte. She is always either singing or dancing if not both. We are sure to be entertained everyday… Her favorite move is shaking her little butt left and right… very ‘hiao’ (vain) But I’m not complaining, she is just SO cute!! 

Eating – Sigh!! This one I’m not really proud of. Cait is a carnivore! She eats only meat and also loves her carbs. She hates greens. Daddy will always try to sneak some on to her plate but she’ll always manage to pick it out… If we try to mix it up with the rice or hide it inside a bite… she’ll spit everything out or worst she’ll not eat the whole plate. Daddy blames me for this because he thinks it’s because I don’t eat  much greens I really don’t know where he got this from… I guess he just needs to blame someone.. I always give in because I’ll rather her eat something then not eat at all. Luckily she still takes her milk frequently, 3X a day,sometimes even wakes up in the middle of the night for a night feed, and that will make it 4X.

Feeding - Most parents will have to train their kids to eat on their own… but for us it’s opposite. We would love to feed her but she still insist on feeding herself. Why we want to feed her? It’s just that sometime she takes such a long time to eat and she will be playing with her food. I’m not sure how much she has actually eaten. My maid uses this excuse to just leave a plate in front of her and just buggers off till Cait is screaming for her. 

Shoe Addict!! - I wonder where she got this from!!?? This girl absolutely LOVES shoes!! I think to date she has 2 pairs of runners, 3 pairs of sandals, 1 pair of rubber shoes and 1 pair of flip flops. Everybody buys her shoes because they all know that she has a shoe fetish. Hmm… Maybe it is inherited through the genes.. 

Shopping – Also another attribute that I think is inherited through the genes.. Cait has her own taste in what she wears. She chooses her clothes when we go shopping and is already showing signs of having quite impeccable taste When we are shopping for her, she’ll be busy flipping through the hangers of clothes and picking out what she likes and she’ll say ” I like it! I like it!” 

Talking – She has LOTS to say!! And her vocabulary is improving everyday… surprising us with new words every now and then. Thanks to our maid, she can also manage a splatter of Malay… Some of her words:

• meesh – finish
• abis – habis
• cheesh – cheese
• mongkee – monkey
• shuming – swimming
• bocks – blocks
• waf – love 

Goon Ka Poh – Yes.. She is the ‘Goon Ka’ in our house. My Mom gave her that nickname. Cait will go round the house nagging and scolding us  with her hands on her hips and a frown on her face. Very serious… not to be taken lightly LOL!!

The Animal Kingdom – Not too long ago, all animals are ‘wou- wou’ (dogs) to her. Now she is able name quite a few different kinds of animals. Amongst her favorites are Dak (duck), Dog, Meow-meow, mongkee (monkey)…

Toys – She still loves her soft toys… Apart from that is the wagon that Aunty Pat,Kit,Hm and Erica bout for her for her 2nd birthday and then Daddy bought more of those blocks to add on to those that came with the wagon.
