Our tiny tot marveled at what she saw at one of the giant 'fish tanks' in the zoo.

Growth Spurts
Joy seems to be going through some growth spurts over the last week; especially last couple of days -- probably after the day she started walking!
When we were at the playground this morning, she started kicking and struggling in my arms when Faith ran towards the playground and said something. Took me a few seconds to realize she said 'down, down'! I signed and taught her that yesterday! Wow, so fast! She said several more words, mimicking me clearly, after I've said some words. My, am I delighted! What wondorous children God has given me. :)
When we were at home in the afternoon, I heard Faith said, '妹妹,不可以!' So, I walked out of the room to see what they were doing in the living room -- Joy had climbed onto the sofa! The only problem was -- she was playing with something and sat facing the back of the sofa! Aiyo!!! I thought aloud to KH, 'And we were feeling bad not sending this one to Gymboree!' *LOL*
At bedtime, after we told Faith to brush her teeth, and KH tailed the 'escaping' Faith into the bedroom, I closed the bathroom door and intended to join them in the room. Joy started to fuss and seemed to be protesting about me closing the bathroom door! I picked her up and asked her, 'Why are you upset? You want to go inside (the bathroom)?' She paused for a quick thoughtful second and said, '牙!' At the same time, stuffed her pointer finger into her mouth and signed 'brush teeth' to me! OMG!!! *LOL* I laughed and asked if that what she wants to confirm my guess, she smiled so brightly. :) She opened her mouth expectantly as soon as she saw me reach for the finger brush meant for her. Haha...she loves toothbrushing and the squeech squeech sound it makes.
Meanwhile, though she's bubbly most of the time, we could tell that teething is still bothering her. More of her teeth are visible today. Now she has 5 that are clearly visible; at least 3 more are trying to cut through. Maybe even teeth further back. Hmmm...maybe God is preparing us for our move to Shanghai, so we both have one less stress while we settle down in the new place.
Eat until mabok already?
Munching carrot and lounging on mommy.
Watching Hi-5 during dinner.
Who's that 'aiming' at us?
Daddy!

Eating...finally
Still reads on my July calendar on the fridge, '...arrange for check-up at Dr Ong EK's for lazy eye and not keen on semi-solid...' Well, it seems this girl's totally skipped semi-solid and we've actually gone on straight to solid! Look how keen she is!
Ah...umm...
Why's daddy watching me eat?
Another spoonful...
Mmm...GOOD!
She started with digestive biscuits she stole from Faith's bowl while Faith was glued to the tv; subsequently pieces of Chinese bun and bread we break to share with her. She loves bread so much it's one of her first words!

First Steps!!!
Joy walked 6 steps unassisted towards me! Daddy and I both gasped aloud at the sight of that. :D This little baby is walking -- she is only turning 10 months tomorrow!

Thumb Sucking
Joy popped her thumb into her mouth while we were at a shop this afternoon. She does that whenever she's sleepy; usually not for long, anyway. She doesn't suck on it constantly like Faith used to; she'd just suck on it on and off. The salesgirl who was trying to be friendly with us took her thumb out gently and said no, no. I wasn't really thinking, but I just matter-of-factly put it straight back into Joy's mouth and said, 'Oh, it's ok, she does it all the time. She's sleepy.' Really...I really didn't mean to embarrass her; but I really meant too, that it's ok for my baby to suck her thumb. ;p Faith outgrew that in her own time anyway. Whatever they say...doesn't bother me.

抱着你们的感觉
今天无意中想起心悦出世后出院那天的感觉。细细回想...当时我抱着心悦在等冠雄办出院手续;心里莫名的喜悦,好象小时候得了奖或礼物一样――那份喜悦好象满得要从我心里、嘴里溢出来一样! 希彤初生的时候,我抱着她,也有同样的感觉。这次的感觉稍微不同――好象在做梦;因为是第二次,所以感觉似曾相识。
其实,你们姐妹俩本来就是上帝赐给爸妈的无价宝。
