No photos. No videos. This record intends to mark her milestones.

21 Jan 2010 at 9 something in the morning. She woke up first and her mommy continued laying on bed. Lazy. The usual playful her went to fit herself into the gap between our bed and the patio. Feeling bored shortly, she cried for mommy to get her out. I pretend to be asleep and ignored her. I thought ‘padan muka’. About the same time, she heard her grandma and sister, Melinda outside closed door bedroom. So, out of norm, she called ‘poh poh’, ‘poh poh’ few times. She hardly or almost never call that. Only Melinda calls ‘poh poh’.

Not getting responses, she switched her target and called ‘mei mei’, ‘mei mei’ even more times. By then, I cannot help laughing at her trials to get rescue. Later, I called them to come in and join me laughing. They picked her up.

You may think she don’t know know how to call someone or say something because she won’t repeat after you. Little would you know that she stores all up in her little head for use when in need.

22 Jan 2010 at 11 something in the morning: I thought of driving her to the convenience market nearby and pick up grandma. She came down from the car and let me hold her hand. We walked into the market and saw grandma. I whispered from behind, ‘poh poh. Go hold poh poh.’ She lunged forward and grabbed ‘poh poh’ by the legs. My mother was shocked and surprised. She had worried at first if that was someone else’s child and thought of how to put her away without the embarrassment.

Soon, we were at the dairy products section. She spotted her favourite Yakult and pushed against me to get down on the floor. She picked up Low Sugar Yakult and walked away. My mom panicked and tried to hold her back. Wondering what she was up to, I told my mom to let her go. I stayed behind her and she never bothered. She continue walking like she knew the place and made her way along isles right to the end and turn to the isle that branched into cashier counters. She even walked about before choosing one of those counters with less queue and I was wondering how she’s going to pay for it. No, she merely was going to walk pass the counter. Of course, I stopped her in time.

See how such a baby/toddler observes our every step daily and could imitate us (except for walking through the counter before paying). Sometimes, I choose not to stop my girls when it is safe to do so yet a rewarding response from them can be observed.

A Great Day to Wake up to

Firstly, mommy woke up with Melissa past 9am and opened the bedroom door to welcome Melinda coming from the living. Melinda grabbed Melissa's water bottle from the bedside table and shoved it to her sister's face. She gestured elder sister to open the mouth and take the teat by opening her mouth wide. Her sister accepted and drank from the teat. Melinda smiled really happily like saying "Yay!"

Then, after her morning bath, she took my facial cotton and walked to the living where grandma was sitting. Guess what did she do? She wiped grandma's face with the cotton square. Nice. Grandma asked "Who taught you that? How do you know it is for the face?"

Firstly, all about Melinda. Her hair, toy, board book and aqua doodle.

Now, big sister Melissa joined in. See she was dressed differently? It’s simply because she dirtied the dress. Both focused on the TV as usual.

What I Like About Them

2009-05-06T20:57:00.006+08:00

Among the development milestones this pair of twins achieved I like

How they express their fondness to me; the way they pamper themselves by dropping their face or body against my body. Makes me feel warm.
Their appetite for solid food; their main meals are very nutritious porridge and cereals.
Their ways to express their happiness upon seeing me; shaking body and legs while smiling broadly.
Their kisses on my face first thing in the morning as I am waking up in bed.
Their accuracy in copying words especially calling Papa and demanding for food and milk. I am most amazed with Melissa saying 'makan' and Melinda saying 'bye bye'.
Their natural instinct to kick in the pool.
Melissa's way of showing her excitement by threading in the water but done on the ground.
Witty Melinda and how she shakes her head to gesture 'no'.
Their ability to get night sleep of 10-12 hours.
That they finish their milk. And may ask for more. Yeah, ASK FOR MORE (Pepsi).
How they kiss each other but may end up pulling each other's hair not long after.
The way they hold hands.
The way they cooperate with caregivers; previous babysitter and the maid.
That they are able to progress healthily despite smaller than average body sizes.
The way they fit in their clothes for long time. (I buy bigger size clothes)
How they understand adults.
That they like their bath times.
That they have so much strength in them to grow out of prematurity and more.
How they bear the pain of needles.
How they are said to resemble the father although the fact is they are almost my exact mold when I was a baby especially Melissa.
How they smile when asleep.
That I love them. My daughters. My pride and joy.
