*** Dressing & Addressing (^o^) ***

** Dressing **
Being a little gal... I luv to watch Mummy dress up and most of the time will observe closely how she do it too. She has a little black pouch which i wanted to explore so badly hehe. One day, without her noticing, i managed to lay my hands on it and I took out the blusher brush, Yeah!

So this is how i do it my way.... lol (",)

** Addressing **
Since we are not in Sg most of the time... Mummy & Daddy felt that it is even more important for me to know, identify & master the names of my beloved families and relatives. So far i have mastered quite a few .... but more to come :-} I wish I could juz call Auntie and Uncle for all hehe... that will be so much easier (",) Oh oh.... and Gu Jie, no doubt i dun see u for quite a while now, but i have already mastered yr name keke!
Luv, Rachel

~ Latest Activities ~

I never knew that my darling is ready to hold a colour pencil and start scribbling on a paper until one fine day when we were having dinner at Hyatt. The hotel Manager was so nice to pass some drawing paper with colour pencils to Rachel while we are having dinner. I was amazed by how these items could entertained her for at least 45 mins! She dun even spent so much time on her new toys =) So the next day, I rushed to Book Store to grab some mini drawing boards with one small box of crayons. Oh, I bought some colouring books as well since they are so cheap here... like less than $3 for most of them!! ^o^

Rachel's 1st Master piece without Mummy's help except the name, hehe!
Can't figure out what she is drawing though =p

Oh, I also noticed another easier way to teach Rachel words, is to draw them out. It is fun for me too, I get so excited when she could recognised the things i drew and said those words out loub, haha. Phew..!! a "passed" on my drawing (",)

This is the first word that Rachel can read "baby"... hmm, strange still wondering why this word though. Lately, she started to read the word "cat" but she din say it out this time but just do a "meow"

She was told to pick only 3 colours but guess she is going for all :-}
"Colouring in Process" - Teaching her to colour at this stage is the hardest i think. Practise make perfect... haha, hopefully she can colour within the line after many, many more practise.
"Rachel, u r supposed to colour the bottom pix! The top one is for u to follow -_-"

"Ai Xin Meal"

Ever since my darling turns one year old, I have been looking for new recipe to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for her. No more cereal and porridge.... she dislike it so much that every meal became a war zone for both of us. So... I have decided to create and come out with some interesting ideas in cooking her meal. Paying special attention in particular to the shapes and colours to interest her ^0^ So far, she is happy with it... lets hope that it will stay that way. Meanwhile, still cracking my head for more new recipes....

~*~*~* My Pal "Apple" & Me ~*~*~*

Today, I went to Aunty Joey's place and sad to say that it is my last time seeing my pal, a cute little puppy that I had named "Apple". Still remember, when Apple was borned in May, I was barely walking myself and so is Apple. Every Tuesday I will make a trip to Aunty Joey's place to visit her. 2 months later, Apple started to move around and I was inspired by her so much that I wanted to take a few more steps to catch up with her too =)
Apple is 5 months old now. She had recently found herself a new owner cos' Aunty Joel already has 5 malteses and couldn't cope with so many puppies. I'm sure u will be happy with your new family. Farewell and hope to see you again one day my pal...!
Luv, Rachel (",)

...... Brushing My Teeth .......

Hee... I have been brushing my own teeth for the past two weeks now, with mummy guiding me at my side and keeps reminding me that it is not a "lolipop" haha!!

I can't help it... the toothpaste has a nice strawberry and banana taste to it.

Hmm... I'm still not very good at it though, so difficult just to reach some corners. Guess I will continue to practise every morning and nite =)

Luv, Rachel (",)
