Li'ora has grown cuter by the day. To date, she is now 11 months 4 days old. How time flies! Have been teaching her how to speak and do simple hand gestures. She is now able to do 'bao bao' after every meal (to indicate that she is full) with her two hands patting on her chest (ok, I know it is the wrong place, she should be patting her stomach, but at least this is a gd start!!), do simple hi-5s with people, and do the hand action of bye and hi (which I can't differentiate the two yet) Haha.
As for speaking, she can say "yes" (which is a bit airy), mama, papa, nan nan (for milk) and star, coupled with the 'opening and closing' of her fists when singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!!! So cute... She really talks alot, but I don't really understand 50% of what she is saying. Hee
She has also been exploring shopping malls. It is now so much easier to bring her out since she is able to sit in a baby chair while we eat our meals. Putting her in a pram makes shopping a breeze, though I must say that her sitting 'ethiquette' can be better.
Check this out!
Two legs up on the pram handle! Aiyoh, she is a girl lei, this is very 'chor lor'...
Li'ora scratching her foot as she is in deep thought. I wonder what she is really thinking about. Hm...
Li'ora: "Mummy, I am bored. Can we get out of here? We have been in Giant for the past 30 mins!!!"
Li'ora: "Mummy, I am bored. Can we get out of here? We have been in Giant for the past 30 mins!!!"
After teaching her and reminding her many times to sit properly, we finally saw some improvement... Only one leg up on the pram bar now. Yeah!
Li'ora also has this thing about sititng in the car seat. She totally dislikes it, even though I have splurged $400 plus on a baby car seat for her. Which in my opinion, is super comfy!

Look at her 'sian' face...
After attempts to cheer up her... Slight interest now...
Reading a book! But it was the wrongside up... Haha...
The toughest wk yet for me in Li'ora's 11 mths was 2 wks ago. By God's grace, she has only gotten fever twice despite the jabs and 1 stomach flu which happened 2 wks ago. From 7am to 1pm that day, she shitted 5 times! I knew something was not right after the third time... 
Now things become very different the moment she is out of the car and in a book store, be it Times, Popular, Borders etc. She has taken after her daddy on this. She simply loves books! Even more than her toys... See her smiling face!

Her shit was sticky and 'gooey'. Li'ora has always been a brave girl, even though she did not cry much (but was very cranky), I knew she was in discomfort. Look at her buttocks! So red...
I took the opportunity to air her bum while she was sleeping. Later, after visiting the doctor, I found out that she had some bacteria and that explained why she kept shitting. Because the shit was very acidic, it ate into her skin, giving it a red irritation. Thank God, after putting the cream which the doctor gave, her bum went back to normal. =) Boy, I would be more careful about the food she eats in the future, especially food cooked outside. Her immune system as a baby is not so strong after all.
Anyway, moving on... A glimpse of her two lower teeth!!! Which to date, still look as if they are still of the same length as in this picture. I wonder why these two lower teeth are grwoing so slowly. They started to pop when she is just turning 10 months old. I am so glad that her teething initial stage is over (but wait, she still has many teeth not out yet!!!), because she would wake up 3 to 4 times a night from 9pm to 6am. It can be rather draining indeed.
Finally, some pictures of Li'ora holding her own milk bottle as she drinks milk. Frankly, she does not drink alot of milk for her age, but this is made up for her huge appetite for banana, payaya, bread, poridge, biscuits etc.

She never fails to amuse me with her 'milk bottle holding' skills. Haha and her perpetual need to raise one of her legs (or both) when drinking her milk... She got to learn now to be more lady like! =)
