Bookstart! 開始閱讀

Angela took part in a story reading event held by Taipei City Library last weekend. This event was designed for babies aged between 6 month and 18 month with an aim to introduce babies to books as well as to develop their language abilities. At the beginning of the activity, the speaker played some games and introduced the little kids to say the name of their wearing such as clothing, skirt, hat, shoes, etc. Later, she read some traditional Chinese idioms from a book and asked kids to repeat.

Near the end, the speaker came to say hello to Angela and pretended to interview her. As the picture showed, Angela was more than happy to grab the microphone and tried to say something. The speaker encouraged Angela to be able to read stories to others someday when she grows up.

Mommy hoped, by attending such activity, Angela had a good start for cultivating reading habit.

Angela's Helmet 安全帽

In order to prevent Angela's head from everyday thuds and bumps when she explores on the floor, Daddy bought a Thudguard helmet for Angela a week ago. When Angela tried on the hat, she looks really cute but a bit funny because her head is too small to fit the big hat, which is one size for age between 7-month and two-year old infants. To Mommy's surprise, Angela is very interested in her new gift and instead of wearing it, she plays with it everyday. Hopefully, Angela's head grows bigger in few months and will suit the hat better.

Angela's high chair 小恩恩的餐桌椅

Since Angela started to eat soild food, Mommy has been thinking of buying a high chair for her. However, because little Angela was unable to sit up by herself before her eight month old, for the sake of her safety, it would be better to let her sit on a high chair sometime later. Recently, Angela has been improving her sitting, and Grandma feeds Angela soild food more frequently. Mommy think it is about time to get a high chair for Angela. The high chair is a combination of a low chair and a table which can be used as a meal table or a playing tabe. Hopefully, Angela would like the chair and feel comfortable during her feeding.

Bite, bite, bite 咬咬咬

Angela is about nine month old and starts teething. At this stage, Angela not only enjoys sucking on her fingers but also loves to taste new things. Whatever she finds or grabs in her hands, she'd put it into her month. Mommy see Angela licks and bites all the time. Here are some interesting pictures taken last week.

Sprouting teeth 長牙了

After Angela has been able to stand, she achieved another baby developmental milestone--spouting teeth. Her first and second teeth sprouted from bottom together a week ago.
