This recipe is as simple as 1, 2, and 3 (actually there are only two steps to make it). But to a 7-month-old baby, it was a perfect start of “big people’s foods”. Since then, DD enjoys the plain flavor and creamy texture of steamed rice.
Last time, your baby (and you) knows how to say asparagus, avocado, apple, and apricot in Chinese. Today, I am going to teach you to say bell pepper, broccoli, banana and blueberry in Chinese.
For language to expand, children need to be given many opportunities to interact, which include conversations, self-corrections, questions and language play.
Why DD isn’t talking yet? Is she lagging in language skills? M told me not to worry, since DD is learning two languages as the same time, and since she is such an active child and quite advanced in other skills, especially big motor ones.
The 15th month is what pediatricians consider a “milestone” period—a time that most babies walk right out of babyhood. This is absolutely true to DD. Since she was quite confident on her feet, she was very keen to experiment with different ways of moving: trotting, running and dancing.
