Carrots & sweet potato mix was one of the first solid foods I introduced to DD. It gave her a totally different taste and brand new experience from the breast milk. She enjoyed its taste and texture. Until this day carrot is still one of her favorite vegetables.
How to get children eat vegetables is virtually an all-too-common challenge to every parent. These are the three tips I used to train DD to eat vegetables.
Our lesson series on vegetables and fruits include those most commonly seen in our daily life. Today, I am going to teach you to say asparagus, avocado, apple, and apricot in Chinese.
While babies attempt to listen, imitate and utter the sounds heard in their language environment, hearing key words spoken correctly in various linguistic contexts helps cement the learning process of organizing words in the correct order, in another word, the grammatical concepts.
As the old saying goes, walk by one and talk by two. At month 14, DD was already a confident walker and professional stairs-climber. As before, she began to figure ways to improve her speed or just wanted to try something different. We watched her explorations with great interests and threw in our two cents when needed.
On DD’s one-year birthday, grandmas told me soon I would notice some signs that my baby—small and cute though she is—wouldn’t be a baby any longer. I understood, since I already glimpsed her growing sense of independence, emerging negativity, primitive temper tantrums and sprouting my-way-or-highway-mind-set.
However, I never expected these behaviors would constitute the theme of her second year.
