Dear Yasmin,

Mommy dressed you up so pretty, everyone said that Yasmin is a pretty girl. We took many pictures and after the ceremony, we had lunch at the Masonic Restaurant. You loved playing with keys! and played music by beating the spoon on the table.

Safe landing!

Dear Yasmin,

You have perfected your landing skills of climbing down the sofa! You don't bump your head anymore!!

Worried that you may hurt yourself rowing down the sofa and the bed... Mommy and Daddy decided to teach you how to climb down the sofa...safely.

First, from sitting position, turn and lower your chest to a crawling position

Second, move one leg over the sofa and slide slowly down at the same time, grab onto any cushion/seat padding of the sofa

Third, Slide down slowly you other leg and stand up firmly with both leg...

Safe landing!!

The first few times we tried.. you were very afraid and cried.. so daddy move your bodies and legs for you and when you land.. we could see the sigh of relief face you have.. then we clapped for you and your face brightened up...

After a few more times... you mastered the skills and now as soon as you land on the floor, you turn your head towards us with your brightest smile and we clapped... then you'd be so happy and start squatting up and down.. like dancing.

Hurray.. Hurray.... Tonight you show Grandma and grandpa how you land from sofa.. grandpa even took video of it..... daddy will up it online so uncle tony and see too!

Eating independently

Dear Yasmin,

What a mess you made today!! We let you eat by yourself yesterday and you are already getting better putting food in your mouth. Although you had porridge in your hair, emptied a whole plate of noodles on your lap, but it was great seeing you so happy, using your hands and fork and spoon trying to put food in your mouth. When daddy tried to clean up for you, you used your hands playing with noodles like you were swimming and rub food in your hair.... cute...

Step by Step

Dear Yasmin,

Today Daddy could finally play with you during the day after the exhibition is over! When I put you down on the floor, I thought you would sit down, but you stood, look around with a 'what am I going to do next' look on your face. Then you looked at daddy, and started taking little steps towards me! One, two, three, four, and you reached daddy's arms and just kept walking, tumbling and fell into my arms giggling and laughing out loud. It was so amazing! when did my daughter grow into a toddler. It seems you have grown in the last 5 days when daddy was so busy at the exhibition and only come home to see you in bed.

Daddy held you, jumped, and wave our hands, and laughed out loud together, Yasmin Daddy and Mommy is so proud of you!
