10 months old

Time flies, my baby Qi Yu is oledi 10 months old. Qi Yu is a playful baby and she has quite a strong mind of her own. At such young age, she oledi show her strong will. If she wants something, she will find her way to get it and if you take it away from her she would cry.
Qi Yu does not like to sit down very much. Is always a struggles to put her in her carseat, high chair and stroller. So each time before we want to put her to her seat, we will need to tell her way in advance that she needs to sit down nicely. At time she still struggles but after the intial struggle she would settle down if we prepare her in advance.
She is still having the four teeth, two up and two lower jaw. She is an expert in crawling now and is cruising when holding on to something. She loves to climb from the floor up to sofa and also from our bed to QI ning's bed. She is pro in climbing. She trying to stand without holding on to things and I have seen her doing that a few time. She could stand on her own without holding on to anything for about 5 seconds.
Language wise, she is able to understand simple intruction. Eg, when daddy ask her to pick up the mickey mouse toy and give to mummy verbally, she will do as instruct. Since she like to climb up and down the bed and sofa, I have been teaching her the safe way to come down beds and sofa. I told her and at the same time help her to put her leg down first. Lately, I notice that when she wanna climb down form the bed or sofa. she is put her leg down first. She seems to be able to understand simple instruction quite well. She loves the song "if you happy and you know it clap your hand." Whenever I sing this song to her she would clap her hand excitedly.
She enjoys going to playground more nowaday. Every evening when we take her and Qi Ning to playground, she would start to kick his legs when she saw the swing. She loves sitting on the swing and will laugh and scream so happily whenever she is in it.
She is quite a talkative baby, babbling away in her own language. the only three words that we can make out of it often enough is "baba, mama, baobao". she seem to understand that conversation with other means that each take turn to talk. She would babble in her ugh ah ugh ah for a while then stop, waiting for any of us to response and then she would reply again. So cute.
Like mummy, she like to eat. Whenever she see us eat, her mouth will be moving as if she is eating and her hand will be pulling my hand for foods. Every morning she will have breakfast with us. Sometime I will let her have some bread dip in breat milk but most day is an eggyolk with breast milk. In between she may have a fruit sometime is half a kiwi, orange, banana, apple, papaya, dragon fruit, mango depending what is available during the time. Her milk intake during the day is still very low, only 5ounce in a day. but at night she keeps wanting me to nurse her. She will have her afternoon porridge or cereal when she wakes up from her nap. Dinner she will heve porridge while we have our dinner.
She take 2 or 3 nap during the day depending on the length that she sleep during the nap. Each nap is between 30mins to 2 hours. She would ratehr play than sleep anytime! At night she would play at least half an hour after light off before she is willing to doze off. She would roll here and there, do her free fall stunt, ugh ah ugh ah til she is happy then only will she lie down and sleep.
What else could I say about my precious Qi Yu but that I am thankful to have her, a playful and cheeky baby!
