15 months old

Crystal is 15 months old today.

83 cm height

below are her 14 month's development :

most improvements are especially in verbal side. there are a lot of words and several simple sentences she can say now. some motoric improvement are such as: climbing a chair or bed more steadily or more quickly. when driving the scooter, she can make a turn quickly and easily.

she also now can eat by herself using a spoon. however, with me still holding the bowl for her, coz she surely cannot hold the ceramic bowl (heavy and worry she would drop it). the bowl should be hold right below her chin in front of her chest, since she eats porridge with is more liquid and she still cannot well control her hand movement.

now we don't have to worry in case when we take her out and would lose her shoes, since she will immediately warn us about it. one day i took her to play outside in front of a medicine store, when i carried her home for having dinner, she exclaimed, "xie diao lo...", i saw her right shoes dropped on the ground.
