Amelie's (Cold) Update


After coming back from Hank's home, Amelie woke up this morning with a rather runny nose and sneezing a lot. Looks like we'll all be getting this cold sooner or later and its going to do the rounds. I myself right now is feeling a little woozy.

Despite her cold and wiping her nose all over the bed linen, she is still energetic and running around a lot. She's craving for her mother's attention too to make her feel a little more comfortable.

I think she is developing on track too. Although her vocabulary is still a little small, she can say a few words like, Mama, Baba, Bu Yau/Yau (don't want in Mandarin), Hau Chi (Good To Eat), Hau Her (Good To Drink), Yes (in English!), Butterfly, Flower, Fish and Gogo WonnWonn (Doggy Woof Woof in Mandarin) and of course Kaukau (sleep in Cantonese). She can even remark "Oh Dear!" when something goes wrong! She has others too, but these are the ones she uses most often!

Chien-yu just had an interesting conversation with Amelie. Chien asked "Are you mad?", and Amelie replied "No no!". Chien then asked, "Are you sure?", and Amelie replied "I'm good!". Looks like her brain is working overtime! She can start to string some sentences together. Thank the heavens.

Its pretty tough, because she is hearing at least three languages in and outside the house. Sometimes she may get confused, but she gets the idea and meaning with practise. Lets hope her little brain can cope with it all.

She can also say: "Open" in both languages ("Kai" in mandarin and Opu <-- still can't pronouce very well), Meow meow (when she sees a cat), Tweet-tweet(when she sees anything with a beak), Car booboo (and in mandarin , too), Go (when she goes out), count number 1~2, cacoon (but pronouce as "cacoo"), she can also able to pronouce almost 26 alphabets except some tricky ones like "F", "H", "W", "X" (but she only knows the first few like A B C), apple (pronouce as appu and she can differentiate the fruits, too!!), banana (pronouce as "bnana"). Just want to note this down so when she grows up, she can know how funny the way she is talking now.

Happy 2nd Birthday Amelie!

Another step up the age ladder for my daughter Amelie (populary known as Tongtong too). Time certainly has flown, and with each day, it doesn't get any easier! She's started to form her own opinions and learning to express them in various different ways. She's a clever little one, but still lacks a certain amount of discipline. That's probably going to come from me, because Chien-yu is a little soft. I just hope she knows it for own good when I give her the smack-botty when she steps out of line. Last night we sang her the birthday song just before we slept (its was about 1am already). After a couple of choruses, she picked it up quickly and sang her own birthday song! Well, almost anyway, because sounded like "Hapi tu tu tu you". More practise for next year! I will add photos later on this evening.

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.
