- Next to me (who goes without saying is her number 1 favourite person), her GORGOR is her number 2 favourite person hehee. Whenever we tell Jovann that its time to bathe, she will toddle to take his towel for him. When gorgor say he want to pee pee, she will toddle over to the toilet and attempt to push open the door for him. When gorgor coughs and we ask him to drink some water, she will toddle to find his bottle and bring it to him. Then she will find hers and drink it, watching him while doing it. Heeee. Super funny. They like to lie down together on the playmat or the post office house.
- She will let him hug her in the morning, not struggling as much as if Daddy hugs her.
- She loves giving him spontaneous hugs out of nowhere, just grabbing him around the middle, turning her head and lean her ear on his tummy. Gorgor will hug her back of course.
- She was all along braver than her gorgor. She is not afraid of the parrot, and will push her way into the parrot’s room when Ah Gong opens the door, unlike Jovann who don’t dare to go near at all. She will asked to “da da” (hit) the parrot (just pretending, which sadly my dad encouraged), and imitated Ah Gong stretching the rubberband and aiming at it (before you go running to SPCA, please be informed that its just for pretend and the rubber band trick is used to move the parrot away so my mom can reach the seed bowl, the parrot is not hurt at all! When there’s thunder, she hardly flinched. She’s not afraid of the dark room and has played hide and seek with her gorgor hiding in corners for many times.
- However, recently, ever since she learnt how to tell us “scared scared” by patting her hand on her chest, she’s been doing it more often esp when there’s raised voices in the house, or there’s a loud sound. Now I can’t tell if she’s really scared or she just reveling in getting attention that way heeee.
- The Chinese words she can say includes “打打，座座，走走, 美美, ”. Some words she added recently are “bowl, open (its real funny watching her say this), shoe, pain. When asked “ wu ng ng boh (did you just poo poo)?” and she hasn’t, she will go “Boh!” with a very teochew accent. Hehehe. I love the way she close her eyes when we asked her to, screwing up her eyes and pouting her mouth at the same time hahahaa. And thanks to gorgor, now she likes to roar like a dinosaur when she's playing too.

- As to why she learns the word "美美". Well, she's quite vain. If she's wearing something nice and I tell her its 美美, she will walk out of the room and point out her clothes to every one, and say 美美. And she loves to wear my lanyard, my necklace, at times looking like a christmas tree someone forgot to offload. Look at her accessorising.
- Probably due to her "vanity", we were much pleasantly surprised when she was quite unfazed by her first haircut back in Feb. When her gorgor had his first haircut around the same age, it was a totally, traumatically disastrous experience. He cried and wailed and screamed like he's being tortured. But Jaz? nope. Aside from the initial questioning look at the hair stylist at Junior League, she sat quietly on my lap playing with the candy milk jug. Wonderful!!!
- Once recently, I came home from work and when Jaz saw me, she excitedly ran towards me. Ah Ma was mumbling that she needs to find her keys (she said that in teochew), and Jaz immediately turned back towards the dining table where she remembered that my mom kept her key pouch, and she took it, then asked my mom to carry her. She then open the pouch and selected the RIGHT key for the metal gate. This is interesting because she knows that at OUR HOUSE, in AH MA’s pouch, the silver key is the correct one, but if its Daddy Or Mommy’s key, then she know that it should be the black key. So interesting!!! She then tried to help us open the door heheee.

- She's actually deliberately cheekier and more defiant than Jovann at the same age. When we told Jovann to stop touching the dvd player, he will withdraw his hands immediately. But when we asked Jaz to stop touching the dvd player, she will pause with her hands there on the button, turn and look at you out of the corner of her eye, make sure you ARE looking at her. Once she ascertains that she has your undivided attention, she will give a cheeky grin (the firmer and fiercer your "NO", the wider she will grin), and give the button a deliberate press and sit back to watch the reason from the machine and the mommy. What the!!!
But of course, its not all roses and sweet nothings. These 2 fight too as all siblings does. Just 3 days ago on Sunday, they were fighting over toys, and Jaz grabbed Jov's hand and bite it!!! Needless to say, Jovann cried a bit.
Then tonight, Jaz took one of the toy golf iron and hit Jov on the head deliberately with it, without prior aggravation. Ouch! We asked her to say sorry or sayang gorgor, she shouted "Mai!" (teochew for don't want) repeately, emphatically shaking her head at the same time. So Daddy decided to apply the time out punishment on Jaz for the first time ever. He told her "Go into the room!", and she prompty turned and walked in the indicated direction, saying "Ok!" very nonchalantly. Then she paused and look back, seemingly for further instructions. And hubby said "Go to the room I said.". So she said "Ok!" again and turned and continued walking. Both me and hubby looked at each other helplessly, me burrowing my face on the playmat trying to hide my laugh. She's acting so "xiao sa" while being punished. Moments later, she realised she's being banished for real, and she broke down crying at the hallway into the bedroom. We asked her if she's ready to say sorry to gorgor, she nodded her head tearfully and walked over to hug him. Super funny lah!
- She seem to like babies, and appear quite gentle with them so far heee. Her sitting beside Rhynnise at Clarence's place.
- She can self feed with spoon or fork pretty well now. And by this I mean that her aiming has improved and she no longer looks like she's trying to paint her face... and she loves feeding herself, at times may ask for a bowl and spoon and demand that I put some porridge into her bowl so she can self feed.

- She came into the puppetry theatre (Child Size Festival) with gorgor and myself for a while. I was wondering if she will be noisy or out of control. But she managed to entertain herself throughout that short duration, pushing and shoving the cushions into all sorts of positions on the floor, then plonking herself down on it to test the comfort. Fortunately the theatre wasn't totally full so she had some spare cushions to play with.
- Recently bought her the Hello Kitty shopping troller, can't resist. Super cute in pink and comes with lotsa fruits and bottles and sauces. Her favourite is without doubt the bottles with caps, as usual. Hehee.
Another Mommy and Daughter outfit! heheee. We are both into tights now. :P
