All Dolled Up

My little girl comes back home from babysitter everyday with a different hairstyle. There's the favorite 'coconut tree' style, the ponytail, the two pigtails, and the hairclip.

Shanna enjoys being dolled up. She would sit still when her hair is being fussed with, follow instructions to turn her head, and lastly admire her hair in the mirror and giving it a gentle pat ;-)





She's almost 18 months old now and her list of accomplishments grows. Besides learning to say more words, and singing her own little songs, she recognizes numbers 1-10 with about 80% accuracy.

She's more or less potty trained during day and doesn't wear diapers or nappies anymore. We have to potty her from time to time, or she will come up to us looking for attention. But sometimes there are mishaps when we forget or when she forgets she has to go. I haven't started night time potty training yet.

She still has only 6 teeth, for now. I can see the 7th and subsequent ones primed to pop out. We brush her 6 teeth every night :)

She has two naps a day mostly, but on some days, just one nap. At night she sleeps 10-11 hours. After she falls asleep in the evenings, hubby and I get to do our chores, and work, and then relax with reading, surfing the net and the occasional movie :)

She's generally a happy and obedient little girl, a joy to have around. However, she's in a stranger anxiety phase and is clingy when around people she is not familiar with.

When asked for her name, she says 'Na-na!' (Daddy is Dada, Mummy is Mama)
