Izzie crawled on the grass with ease.

Izzie discovered the joy of making sound with bowls, plates and utensils.

Izzie started self feeding, starting with her snacks. We haven’t found a curved spoon for her yet. Not common it seems.

Izzie started trying food at adult’s table.

Izzie started clapping her hands during P&W. She claps at the correct timing when we sing, “If you’re happy and you know it”

Izzie shakes her body whenever there is a catchy tune/music.

And she started taking baby steps without holding on to anything.

Izzie’s vocab: Duck and Cat. Everything is either duck or cat. Ha!

Izzie waves hello / good-bye at the command.

Izzie started hugging her moo-moo soft toy when she couldn’t be bothered with soft toys ever before.

She opened a pen’s cap by herself today.

I am happy and thankful for her development and achievements. I am Izzie’s proud mama.

Izzie started going to the decentralized nursery at Bedok on 5 Nov. For the first time, we saw Izzie having separation anxiety. She cried the moment I put her down on the mat. She wasn’t interested in the toys and kept clinging on to me. We were quite surprised and discovered the power of her star snack. She was completely fine with us leaving when aunty gave her the stars. Haha oops she could be bribed.

The drop off on the second and third day was much better. She was happy seeing the toys.

7 Nov – We saw Izzie taking three tiny steps all by herself. She was “forced” to do this because both her hands were occupied with spoon and plate. I am so proud of her. When we tried to video it down a second time she was very frustrated because I took the spoon and plate from her. I have never seen her display such anger before.

Indeed I think my Izzie is growing up.
