Emily's babytalk ....

Although Emily will be 3 at the end of Sept .. she is still babbling a lot in her babytalk .. we understand her cos we're with her the whole day but strangers won't have a clue.

For instance, when she talks about food (and she does so everyday at about 11 plus - for lunch and 6 plus in the evening - for dinner) she says she wants to eat rice, soup, "shee shaw" and "ball" ... She means "chicken" and "fishballs" ..

sigh.

It's not like she doesn't know the correct word for it .. she can say "chicken" when u correct her .. but I guess when she's hungry .. she lapses into baby babble and says "shee-shaw" .. it's super farneee cos who on this earth will understand that "shee shaw" is "chicken"? NO ONE. If my child gets lost and strangers pick her up and she demands "shee shaw" when she's hungry then HOW?!!!! lol.

Anyway, Emily is a big big rice eater ... she loves rice so much she can even eat it plain. She has often requested for a bowl of plain white rice after she's has her dinner just so that she can savour the taste of plain rice. Bizarre, right? I don't argue with her cos being a parent, you're just ecstatic that your child is eating healthily. She loves her milk (she still takes formula from a bottle happily) and also eats lots of fruits and yoghurt too.

I just don't understand how come she's still so skinny .. her tummy is ROUND .. really round .. but her arms are like twigs. lol.
