Discipline Starts Young (^^,)

It's amazing to watch how our little princess can respond to us nowadays! Ever since Rachel learns how to walk independently and afterwhich roaming around freely, we soon realised our next headache was to keep her from touching every other things beside her own toys =/
E.g touching the phone/computer wires, pulling out the table corners protector, flipping our books and tearing the pages, playing our mobile phone (calling 999 once), creating a mess with all her toys, pulling out every drawers she can find, pressing on remote control & change my fav channel, pressing buttons on our laptop, touching every single items found on the coffee table, running into the bathroom.... and it juz go on and on and on... (**,) And seriously, before I know it... I think I have already repeated "no no" to Rachel like 100 times or more per day, lol.
So I have to believe that Discipline should start at very young age =) We have to work together and turn this "terror" into "lovely princess" ('c')

So far, these are the things she absorbed from my nagging, hehe :
~ picking up toys and place it inside her toy box (only with my supervision :>)
~ saying "please" when she wanted something from us, especially food!
(hmm... need a little practice here cos' she is still saying "Peessss" haha but close enough lah)
~ giving the things she not suppose to touch back to us when told
~ obeying to our "no no" (after at least 3 times)
~ showing "Sorry" sign when mummy / daddy is angry with her
(at the moment, it looks like "salute" with her hand on her forehead =>)

Below are those that i'm still currently working on it, hopefully she can accept it soonest :
~ tidy up the books after reading
~ holding her own milk bottle
~ no screaming
~ no throwing things while throwing tantrums
~ no closing door & entering bathroom without our knowledge

Hmmm... that's it for now, will think harder for more, lol...
Oh... I caught a video of Cheeky Rachel below... repeating when i said "no no" and also to remind herself not to do any "illegal" stuffz hehe...

~ Romper with my special "Message" ~

For the first time, I felt that I bought something for Rachel that really comes in sooooo useful for her. Is a romper with these special wordings "Please Control Yourself, 'No' Cheek Pinching" haha... Yes, I'm talking about very useful here in CCU. It definitely helps alot especially when we bring her out to crowded places like shopping mall => I can still recall the very 1st time when we were out with her, most pple passing by will either touched or worst pinched her chubby cheeks ! Wasn't very ready for that during the 1st few times when it happens : { Outing with her soon becomes a nightmare, hoping it won't happen again. I must say that Daddy did a good job in protecting her... cos' he will make sure that nobody comes near or touches her, hahaha! I'm so glad that I bought this romper online many months back... at least it comes in very handy now (**,)

"Dance and Sing with Barney"

Check out my new dance move! Barney taught me that .... (^^,)

Delicious "HotCake" (^^,)

The last trip back to Singapore, Mummy took me to Macdonald once every week to have my fav delicious breakfast - "Hotcake". I do get bored of my usual breakfast sometime ... like cereal (oatmeal or mixed grains) with different types of Fruits. So once awhile, mummy will cook French Toast as well =)
Today is Mummy's 1st attempt in cooking this delicious hotcake for me! Hmm.... it tastes so good even though it might look like roti prata, hahaha! It goes very well with honey and strawberry jam too. Thank u Mummy (",)
Luv, Rachel

My "Mid-Year Exam" (^_^)

What! Exam at this age?? haha... Nah, Mummy is just so curious whether i can still remember all those things i have picked up from "Baby Can Read DVD" so far. I have completed the whole series... hooray! I'm watching "Wheel of the Bus" and "Barney" now as a "school break" (",) Oh... I luv Barney... the purple Dinosaur with full of surprises and great songs!

Mummy is encouraging me to watch "Baby can Read" all over again after the break so that I can master all the others words as well =) Is a great VCD created for babies like us! Thanks to the Founder, Dr Titzer!

Luv, Rachel (",)

oh no.... i missed out "nose", "fingers" & "hands" hehe...

Rachel showing "Bao Bao" ...... haha! So cute, she actually bother to move the bib to show me her big tummy! Looks like she is really very full.... kekeke... i had a good laugh!

Playtime with "Mouse Mouse" aka Minnie

Rachel enjoys feeding Minnie with a milk bottle. But it kinda look like "stabbing" her instead haha!

Watch Rachel blow a kiss to Minnie... only one kiss at a time (",)

<<< Play Yard to Play Corner >>>

Check out my new Play Corner! I needed a lot more space cos' I love walking around and hate to be confined in that playmat size.

Thanks Daddy and Mummy! For coming up with this idea... (",) I luv it so much! Look at my little smile on my face, its incredibly spacious for me to roam around now, hehe!

Luv, Rachel

"Say Cheese" .... (^o^)

Look! That's what I will get nowadays from Rachel when I pointed a camera at her and said "Smile" - her cheeky smile! Taking about softtoy, in addition to her friend - patrick star. I have decided to train this little Princess in hugging a soft toy in a proper manner. Looks like she can bond very well with Minnie Mouse. Oh, she called it "Mouse Mouse" though... cos' she gets a little confused with all the names. She has friends like Winnie (Pooh), Barney, Benny (our pet dog) and Minnie. Haha... all of them sound so similar to her (",)

~*~*~* Ponytail *~*~*~

So happy... manage to tie 2 little ponytails for Rachel today, haha! Have been waiting for this day for so long... cos' her hair was pretty short initially. Think is time to stock up nice hairbows and ribbons! Hmm... mostly will be handmade by me though since I have invested in lots of nice ribbons and clips from Korea G-market. Can't wait to create one soon for my little princess!

My Friend "Patrick"... ^_^

Introducing my new friend .... "Patrick Star", a good friend to "Spongebob"!

Mummy hesitated for awhile before buying it cos' she knows that it will probably end up in my mouth rather than me hugging it, hehe! But... in the end, Mummy gave in cos' its juz to cute to resist =) Look! I tried to entertain Mummy with a nice smile initially, pretending to hug it! Then, true enough, it ended up in my mouth.... hoho! .... and Oops! I was caught in the end as well...
Luv, Rachel (",)

*^* Mummy's Favourite Hairband *^*

Yeah... I'm 14th months old today! \(^_^)/

Mummy bought this nice hairband for me as a present during one of the shopping trip to Parkway. Do i look pretty in it? Mummy feels that it will go very well with a white gown and it will be perfect for me to attend Sok Sok's wedding next year with it!

Luv, Rachel (",)
